One would think that Yunel Escobar is now prime Jake Peavy trade bait, provided the ATL and Pads can get together on the minor leaguers.

Pad's CEO says that Peavy trade talks are off, which probably means that he's working the phones right now.

He's working the phones in search of the next ex-Mrs. Pad's CEO.

I thought that was LF, with Francoeur in RF? Or are they making Johnson available?
