PS on Cubs, Padres, Phillies and Peavy: Danger of Trade Rumors

On Wednesday, the San Diego Padres imposed a Thursday deadline on any possible trade, or multi-team trade deal regarding one of baseball’s best pitchers Jake Peavy and the Chicago Cubs.
Well, the deadline came and went and Padres general manager Kevin Towers nixed any talk of this particular rumored deal on Thursday evening.
Therefore, thank goodness that Jason Marquis will not bring his inconsistency to the Phillies and Kyle Kendrick or JA Happ won’t be leaving the Phillies so fast.
The Phils are still left looking for the guy to spell their rehabbing All Star 2nd baseman Chase Utley and still seek alternative solutions to possible losses of both leftfielder Pat Burrell and veteran lefthander Jamie Moyer to free agency.
I have tried, during Blogging Baseball’s 3 plus years of existence, to stay away from over-investing in trade rumors. One can look like true baseball maven or big-shot over blogging about all of the trade and acquisition rumors and can make a blog site just on one trade rumor and all of its machinations if one over-invests. I prefer not to go there. Unless one is paid to blog about trade rumors, it seems a economic use of times.
The bottom-line: The deal ain’t made until it’s done.
