Astros: Peavy not on the radar
The Astros were never more than a long-shot to be the team that eventually acquires Jake Peavy, but on Friday, the Astros went on record to say they're officially not in the picture.
General manager Ed Wade, who has a good relationship with Padres GM Kevin Towers after working with him for two years before taking the Astros' GM job, spoke with Towers at the GM meetings but never got to the point where he felt a Peavy-to-Astros trade was a possibility.
"We talked early on and he was candid in looking at our situation and our system that we probably don't have the pieces to make it work," Wade said. "He told me a few clubs he had pretty good fits with and he said he's going to pursue those. Based on the things I was hearing, I think it's probably headed in one of those directions."

Good for Ed Wade. He finally has made a good decision! If the Astros traded for Jake Peavy, their farm system would probably rank as one of the worst ever. That's because their farm system ranks as one of the worst ever NOW.
