According to Brian McTaggart of the Houston Chronicle, Astros owner Drayton McLane doesn’t expect his team to trade for Jake Peavy. Not surprisingly, the Padres asked for “three or four” of Houston’s best prospects in return for the ace pitcher.
McLane didn’t reveal which players the Padres were interested in, but said that their asking price was ultimately a “stumbling block.”
The Cubs and Braves are still front-runners in the Peavy sweepstakes.
