Its clear from the UT article that Peavy’s agent values certain things a little differently than Scott Boras…namely, loyalty:

“’My record would probably reflect that a great percentage of my clients have chosen to stay put,’ Axelrod said. ‘I was very, very proud of that in the cases of Biggio and Bagwell. I love players staying in the same place.”

The article also reports Axelrod acknowledging the SD discount. This definitely paints a hopeful picture for keeping Peavy…we’ll see what happens.

Are you going to post in this discussion, or a whole new front page entry?

I would imagine the Pad's are not looking at a 2 year extension, but a whole new contract. That would maybe be a 3-4 year deal for say 10-12 mil per year with both club and player options. Just guessing.

35. Oh yeah! Sorry, I gotcha now.

36. I’m dying to see it in writing too.

37. I don’t want to, but I’m afraid I agree with you. Though the quotes from his agent about players staying with one club are promising…

Re: 34 I dont see Peavy signing a 2 year extension. Why sign a 2 year deal when he could probably get a 7 year deal for more money/year it just doesn't make sense I think the Padres are doing it for PR reasons.

Anybody know what time the NL CY award is announced. I know we all know who is getting it, I am just curious if it is unanimous.
