Obviously, San Diego needs to shop Jake Peavey to the Yankees for Joba and/or Phil and/or batters.
"On December 12, 2007, he {Peavy] signed a 4 year extension, worth $52 million with the Padres."
That's chump-change for a cash-rich, success-poor Steinbrenner-family-led team...
The Yanks are desperate as Clemens isn't an option for a mid-season "infusion" of starting pitching...
