Tom Krasovic, of The San Diego Union-Tribune, reports the Atlanta Braves are unlikely to guarantee San Diego Padres SP Jake Peavy a full no-trade clause, according to Padres general manager Kevin Towers. "Atlanta has a club policy that's been in place that no one will have full no-trade protection," Towers said. "I don't see them bending the rules for Jake. At this point in time, that's not going to happen unless Jake changes his position on that."

Carrie Muskat, of MLB.com, reports the Chicago Cubs have not
Carrie Muskat, of MLB.com, reports the Chicago Cubs have not ended trade talks with the San Diego Padres for SP Jake Peavy. However, in order to pull off a deal, the Cubs would likely have to remove some of their high-priced players from their roster.
The Cubs remain in the hunt to land Padres' ace hurler Jake
The Cubs remain in the hunt to land Padres' ace hurler Jake Peavy, according to MLBTradeRumors.com. Padres' GM Kevin Towers said, "I would say the Cubs are still in it. Lou Piniella said theyÂ’re not in it, but their general manager (Jim Hendry) says theyÂ’re in it. The Dodgers have bigger fish to fry. ThatÂ’s not to say they might not circle back later in the winter. Our primary goal is to trade Peavy."The Cubs hope to hold onto Mike Fontenot and Sean Marshall, which is part of the reason they are looking for a third team to involve in a trade for Peavy. A Cubs' source noted a two-year window for the club to win a title, and acquiring Peavy would be a major step in the right direction to achieve that goal.
