| December 10, 2008 MLB.com reports that Padres GM Kevin Towers has gone as far to tell reporters that he will know one way or the other by then if a Jake Peavy deal is to be had. "We had more dialog today than any other day," Towers said of his talks with Cubs GM Jim Hendry. "We'll know tomorrow [Thursday]. Before we check out of this hotel ... we'll know if we have a deal. This has been the entire focus of baseball ops [operations]." |
| December 10, 2008 Jake Peavy is more interested in waiving his no-trade clause for the Yankees now that they have added CC Sabathia, according to signonsandiego.com. Still, he prefers to stay in the National League and New York isn't his first choice geographically. |

GM Kevin Towers told reporters on Monday that making a Peavy trade was his full focus at the winter meetings. He then went out and proved it by working to facilitate a potentially four-team trade that would send Mark DeRosa to Philadelphia and Felix Pie to Baltimore and bring back pitchers Garrett Olson, J.A. Happ and Sean Marshall for the Padres. The key for that deal to work is for the Phillies or Orioles to take Jason Marquis, with the Cubs agreeing to eat some of his salary. |

Our primary goal is to trade Peavy." |

| November 18, 2008 Jake Peavy could still land in Atlanta, according to MLB.com. Padres' GM Kevin Towers is considering revisiting a deal with the Braves and said, "You never know, we certainly made more progress with them. We were able to ID and agree upon a large part of the package." |
| November 17, 2008 The San Diego Tribune reports that Padres' GM Kevin Towers is currently only talking a Jake Peavy trade with the Chicago Cubs. It's really come down to one club now the Cubs, he said. It's going to take awhile." |
| November 15, 2008 Braves' GM Frank Wren reiterated that Atlanta has ended their proposal for ace hurler Jake Peavy, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Wren said, "We reached the point where we made the decision that we just didnt feel like there was a deal that we could feel comfortable with. Peavy is obviously a quality top-of-the-rotation pitcher. But our focus is still to build our organization internally with our young players, and we had to measure at what point wed lose the ability to have a sustainable winning franchise going forward if we gave up too much talent. What we would be willing to do, and if that were not sufficient enough to get a deal done, that we were going to go ahead and move on to other pursuits and other opportunities." |
| November 15, 2008 Yankees' GM Brian Cashman discussed Jake Peavy with Padres' GM Kevin Towers earlier this month, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.

| November 13, 2008 CBS Sports is reporting that the Atlanta Braves are offering a four-player package for starter Jake Peavy. San Diego is expected to request that Peavy waive his no-trade clause very soon so the deal can be completed. Under terms of the deal discussed by the Braves and Padres, San Diego would receive shortstop Yunel Escobar, Single-A outfielder Gorkys Hernandez, one of two starting pitchers - Charlie Morton or Jo-Jo Reyes - and either reliever Blaine Boyer or one of two minor-league left-handers (one of which is believed to be Jeff Locke). Again, Peavy must ok the move, and some believe he would rather play in Chicago for the Cubs. |
| November 11, 2008 Multiple major league sources have said that the Braves' offer for Jake Peavy is more significant than anything the Cubs could offer, according to MLB.com. Atlanta is reportedly willing to give up shortstop Yunel Escobar and one of their highly rated center field prospects, (Gorkys Hernandez or Jordan Shafer) as well as a young pitcher, which may or may not be either Charlie Morton or JoJo Reyes. The Padres have inquired about Jeff Locke, but it's unlikely the Braves would give him up in addition to the other players they've already agreed to include in any deal. |

| November 7, 2008 Jake Peavy has decided that he would like Yunel Escobar to remain with the Braves if he is dealt to Atlanta, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. Agent Barry Axelrod said, "One of the things we will want to look at some point is, 'Who are you giving up? How much are you weakening your team to make this deal? If Team X trades three starting pitchers and a starting shortstop to get Jake Peavy, that lessens their chance of being a successful team." |
| November 7, 2008 The Padres have asked the Cubs for Jeff Samardzija as part of a potential deal for Jake Peavy, that may also include Felix Pie, Sean Marshall, and Ronny Cedeno, according to the Associated Press. |

| November 6, 2008 Acquiring Jake Peavy is not on the Yankees' agenda, according to LoHud.com. But the ace hurler will most likely have a new home in 2009, as Peavy talks have progressed to a point where he has been told hes going to be traded, its just a matter of when a deal is struck. GM Kevin Towers said, "That train has left the station." |

| October 29, 2008 FoxSports.com reports that trade talks between the Braves and Padres are on hold after San Diego requested five players in return.

| May 27, 2008 Jake Peavy threw 40 pitches on flat ground and took batting practice Tuesday in his first baseball-related action since his right elbow strain, according to MLB.com. "Everything felt normal, so that was good news," said Peavy. "Obviously, it's gone longer than we thought, but everything went well today, and we'll try again tomorrow and hopefully everything will go well and we can progress towards getting back out there." Peavy had an MRI Tuesday morning, and the results were positive. "The MRI looked good today, with no structural damage. Everything looked intact with tendons and ligaments." When asked when he might return to the mound, Peavy responded, "I don't know, maybe sometime this weekend. I hope we can climb up on the mound and have enough arm strength to get through that. And hopefully it won't take too much longer after that to get on the mound for real." |
| May 25, 2008 Jake Peavy will undergo a follow-up MRI on his sore right elbow on Tuesday, according to the North County Times.

Peavy commented, "It's still tender. Everybody wants to get back out there, but you have to listen to your body." |
| May 20, 2008 As expected, the San Diego Padres placed Jake Peavy on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, one day after an MRI revealed he has a strained right elbow.

| May 10, 2008 Even with Cy Young winner Jake Peavy pitching, there is no margin for error, not with a San Diego offense that can't string more than two hits together over the course of nine innings. Garrett Atkins and Brad Hawpe hit consecutive bases-loaded singles off Peavy in the sixth inning Friday night and that was enough to give the Colorado Rockies a 3-2 lead, and eventually a 4-2 victory sending the Padres to their 18th loss in 22 games. The hard-throwing right-hander allowed three runs on seven hits, walking two and striking out six in six innings of work. |

| April 22, 2008 Jake Peavy looks to continue his dominance in 2008 when he takes the mound tonight against Houston, according to MLB.com.

| April 18, 2008 Jake Peavy was able to only work roughly one-third of Thursday's game against the Rockies. The ace tossed eight scoreless innings in what turned out to be a 22-inning battle. Peavy allowed only four hits, walked three, and struck out 11. |
| April 7, 2008 Jake Peavy has been accused of using pine tar during his Saturday win over the Dodgers. The LA Times reports that an image showing a dark substance on the thumb, forefinger and middle finger was taken from Fox's national broadcast on Saturday and appeared on the message board of a Dodgers fan site later that night next to one of Peavy's hands magnified. "Pine tar," Dodgers pitching coach Rick Honeycutt said. "Rosin's not that dark." Peavy, who threw a complete game and limited the Dodgers to two hits, denied that he cheated to get a better grip on the baseball. "It's just dirt," said Peavy as he looked at copies of the pictures. "I pick up dirt. I mean, come on. I mean, seriously. That's funny to me, seriously." Don't expect anything to come of this, except for an umpire making a trip to the mound when the Padres and Dodgers meet again. |
| April 5, 2008 Jake Peavy improved to 10-1 lifetime against the Dodgers as he allowed only two hits in a complete game victory on Saturday. Peavy needed 116 pitches to strike out eight batters while walking one and permitting just one walk. Can you believe that Peavy won the NL Cy Young award last season without a single complete game? In fact, Peavy didn't pitch into the ninth inning a single time last season. |
| April 1, 2008 Jake Peavy was in control as he threw seven scoreless innings with only three hits allowed, and four strikeouts and three walks. The Padres downed Houston 4-0 on Monday. This is why Peavy is taken in the first round in fantasy drafts. |
| March 26, 2008 Jake Peavy allowed four runs on four hits (one home run) over three innings of work against Texas on Wednesday, with one walk and five strikeouts. He most notably blasted a two run homer, but the Padres' still lost 12-7. |
| March 22, 2008 Jake Peavy will get one more start before hes to throw the team's first pitch of the 2008 season, March 31 against the Houston Astros at Petco Park, this according to the San Diego Union Tribune. Peavy isn't happy with his command fastballs that are missing the spot more than he would like. Ryan Braun hit a fat-ball for a three-run home run in the first inning on Friday, but according to Peavy that isn't concerning, just frustrating. Peavy told the paper that the achy shoulder was of no concern whatsoever but did renew his appreciation of the team's trainers. Spring is what it is.. exhibition play. Peavy should still be the first or second pitcher to come off the board in any fantasy format. |
| March 21, 2008 Jake Peavy once again looked mortal as he allowed four runs on three walks and six hits on Friday in 4.1 innings pitched. Peavy, who had five strikeouts on the day, hasn't looked anything like the Cy Young quality pitcher he actually is, but no one is in panic mode as he has used this spring to work on a changeup and locating his pitches while paying little attention to the results. |
| March 11, 2008 San Diego ace Jake Peavy said he was using today's Cactus League start to work on his fastball, according to the Associated Press. The results were not as hoped, giving up four runs in the 1st inning as the Padres lost to the Angels 4-8. Peavy worked three innings, giving up five hits with two walks and six strike outs. To be fair, Peavy didn't allow a hit over those last two innings, admitting he abandoned his desire to work on the fastball. "My pride took over," said Peavy. |
| March 6, 2008 Jake Peavy worked three innings on Thursday and picked up the win for the Padres over the Rockies. Peavy allowed four hits and two runs on the day as he also struck out four. Peavy looked sharp other than a HR allowed to Troy Tulowitzki, so consider him to be good to go as the best right handed hurler in the NL. |
