太空人隊放棄取得Jake Peavy的競賽，因為General manager Ed Wade說太空人隊不是教士 隊的交易夥伴，而且Jake Peavy有很大的興趣加人太空人隊，就是General manager Ed Wade的作為，使得太空人隊只好作罷，以下文章是在介紹太空人隊對此事的處理情形， 謝謝。 資料來源： http://houston.astros.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20081107&content_id=3671250&vkey=news_hou&fext=.jsp&c_id=hou 11/07/08 8:30 PM EST Astros officially out of race for Peavy Wade says Houston not a good trade partner for San Diego By Alyson Footer / MLB.com HOUSTON -- 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 General Managers Meetings, but he 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." The Astros were one of five teams Peavy initially said he'd agree to be traded to, but as Towers delves into more serious talks, it appears the Braves, Cubs and Dodgers are the frontrunners to land the 27-year-old right-hander. Peavy expressed a specific interest in joining the Astros and his hunting buddy Roy Oswalt, but at no point did the Astros ever have an inside track to obtain the services of the former National League Cy Young Award winner. Before Wade shot down the Peavy rumors for perhaps the final time later Friday afternoon, club owner Drayton McLane, while attending a luncheon where Commissioner Bud Selig was the keynote speaker, also dispelled the notion that the Astros were legitimate players in the Peavy sweepstakes. McLane cited an unreasonable wish list on the Padres' behalf and an unwillingness for the Astros to part with such a large chunk of talent, but a more accurate explanation is simply that the Astros don't have enough to offer. Hunter Pence likely would have been in any package the Astros could send to San Diego, along with one or more components of a trio of young pitchers who figure to have big league futures: Bud Norris, Sergio Perez and Brad James. But to put it in simpler terms, the players the Astros can dangle in a trade proposal just didn't entice the Padres brass. Other teams, however, appear to match up well. "I think there's a good chance [Peavy is] going to end up someplace sooner rather than later," Wade said. --
