Giants bolster rotation by acquiring Jake Peavy from Boston
The Giants are acquiring veteran starter Jake Peavy in a deal with the Red Sox, league sources say.
Boston is said to be receiving minor-league pitchers in the deal.
Peavy has been pitching better lately after a rough start in Boston this year, and part of the thinking may be that a switch to the National League will help.
The Red Sox's loss to the Rays Friday now drops them on the cusp of alling out of the race, but Boston is strong in starting pitching, so the move doesn't necessarily signal a white flag for Boston.
Peavy is said to be content to be going to the Giants at this time after winning a ring in Boston his year there. The Red Sox acquired him at the deadline last year.
The Cardinals also have shown interest in Peavy. Interestingly the Cards announced they had signed A.J. Pierzynski Saturday. Peavy and Pierzynski had teamed together awith both the White Sox and Red Sox, but were said to have had an uneven relationship.
FOX Sports first said Peavy was close to going to the Giants.
