Ramblings

• Angels GM Tony Reagins told the media that there are "some interesting and exciting things have surfaced" with new teams. Hopefully the Angels can go out and acquire a number 4 hitter to bat between Vladimir Guerrero and Torii Hunter.
• The Blue Jays have met with Paul Lo Duca's agent, but have a mere $2.5M to spend on a catcher who made $6.5M last year playing everyday with the New York Mets.
• Info on Jake Peavy's extension: Peavy is set to make $15M in 2010, $16M in 2011, $17M in 2012, and a $22M option for 2013.
• Seems like a swap of Erik Bedard to L.A. for Matt Kemp and Jonathan Broxton is getting close.
  

Peavy/Padres Close To 3-year/$51M Extension

According to Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com, the San Diego Padres and 2007 NL Cy Young Award winner Jake Peavy are close to agreeing upon a 3-year extension which would pay the ace $17M per season. Jake is already signed for 2 more years, so the extension would go from 2010-2013.

You must give Peavy some respect for taking a looks-to-be huge paycut, as he realizes that San Diego does not have the resources teams like the Yankees and Angels have.
