Giants Acquire Jake Peavy

USATSI_7974100_154513410_lowresThe Giants have acquired Jake Peavy from the
Red Sox, CBS Sports’ Jon Heyman tweets. The Red Sox will receive pitching
prospects Edwin Escobar and Heath Hembree, ESPN’s Buster Olney tweets.
The trade reunites Peavy with Bruce Bochy, who managed him with the Padres.
The deal also provides the Giants with valuable starting pitching depth,
which they needed, given Matt Cain‘s injury. The Red Sox, meanwhile, add
prospect depth while clearing space for younger starting pitchers like
Brandon Workman and Allen Webster.
Peavy is making $14.5MM in his final season before free agency. In 124
innings this season, has a 4.72 ERA with 7.3 K/9 and 3.3 BB/9.
Escobar and Hembree appear to constitute a strong return for Boston. Escobar,
22, has pitched the entire season with Triple-A Fresno, posting a 5.11 ERA
with 7.8 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9. He had a very strong 2013 season at Class A+ and
Double-A. MLB.com ranked him the Giants’ No. 2 prospect, noting that he
could become a middle-of-the-rotation starter.
Hembree, 25, has spent most of the 2014 season with Fresno, where he’s
posted a 3.89 ERA with 10.5 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9 in 39 1/3 innings of relief. He
appeared in nine games in the big leagues in 2013. MLB.com ranked him the
11th-best prospect in the Giants’ system.
Heyman tweeted that the Red Sox would acquire minor league pitchers in
return, with WEEI.com’s Alex Speier tweeting that the Red Sox would get one
righty and one lefty. Jen Royle of the Boston Herald tweeted this morning
that Boston was close to trading Peavy to an NL team, and FOX Sports’ Ken
Rosenthal tweeted that the Red Sox and Giants were in serious discussions.
