Hot-stove heating up! Peavy approves Yanks/Angels.

It has only been one day at the GM meetings however many new stories have come up. According to MLB Trade Rumors Padres Ace Jake Peavy has approved trades to 2 AL teams the LA Angels and the New York Yankees. In the past Peavy has stated that he would prefer to stay in the NL and that he was a small-town guy not keen on the big city. This news is sure to set off a fire storm of trade ideas and radio call-ins. My take is that Peavy is a tremendous pitcher who has won a Cy Young and can dominate a ball game. However he is just not a NY kind of guy and the last thing I want is a guy who hates it here and only competes because his contract says he has to. Would I want him on the Yanks yeah sure I would but would he want to be on the Yankees that is the more important question. In other news CC's agent Greg Genske was at the GM meetings today and said his client has an open mind and that he will listen to all offers, he also said that CC doesn't want the process to drag on through the off-season and he will make his decision as soon as he has made up his mind. This means one thing the Yanks will not have until January to wine and dine CC they must make their initial offer an offer he can't refuse.
