Peavy Close To Coming To Chicago?

Unfortunately, it would be with the White Sox according to Tom Krasovic of the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Peavy would still have to consent to the deal but he reportedly met with Padres manager Bud Black late Wednesday night to discuss it. It sounds like both teams have agreed on the players involved, but it's still far away from a done deal:

"Within the clubhouse, though, Peavy referred to the situation as “something to think about” yet also restated his desire to stay in the National League. One of Peavy's teammates said he believes Peavy respects the Sox's aggressiveness in pushing for him but may have reservations about pitching for Ozzie Guillen, the White Sox's volatile manager."

UPDATE - 9:32 AM Jon Heyman now reports that the White Sox and Padres have reached an agreement and are now awaiting Peavy's approval.
