White Sox get Jake Peavy from San Diego

July 31, 2009
Repost This

The Chicago White Sox acquired right-hander Jake Peavy from the San Diego Padres just before Friday’s non-waiver baseball trading deadline.


The deal consummated their effort to land the 2007 National League Cy Young Award winner.


Peavy refused to eliminate his no-trade clause in May when the teams worked out the parameters of a deal.


His status for the balance of the 2009 season is in limbo because he is on the disabled list with a strained tendon in his left ankle and has not pitched since June 8.


Peavy, 28, is 6-6 with a 3.97 ERA in 13 starts (81 2/3 innings).


He has a 92-68 record with a 3.29 ERA, only 435 walks and 1,348 strikeouts.


In return, the Padres got right-handed pitchers Adam Russell and Dexter Carter and left-handers Aaron Poreda and Clayton Richard.
