Per Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune, he wouldn't be surprised if the Milwaukee Brewers, who traded for C.C. Sabathia last off-season, make a push for Padres ace Jake Peavy.
Peavy has a full no-trade clause in his contract until 2010. After that he'll have the ability to veto trades from certain teams.
Like last year, the Brewers will have a strong offense led by Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder. However, to compete for the N.L. Central crown, they will most likely need pitching help.
With the exception of 2006, Peavy has had a sub-3.00 ERA in each of the past five seasons.
It's unlikely that Peavy ends up in Milwaukee, but I would be surprised if he's pitching in San Diego in September. Unless he's the road pitcher.
