Via MLBTR, we get this nugget from a Padres beat writer on the inner workings of the failed Jake Peavy trade between the Atlanta Braves and San Diego Padres:

As part of Jake Peavy trade talks in November, the Padres and Braves were far along on a 4-for-1 plan that included shortstop Yunel Escobar and center fielder prospect Gorkys Hernandez. The Padres wanted the Braves to include starting pitcher Charlie Morton instead of Jo-Jo Reyes and pushed hard for either pitching prospect Jeff Locke or catching prospect Tyler Flowers to be substituted for reliever Blaine Boyer. Talks regressed from there, and the Braves later traded Flowers to the White Sox. According to mlb.com, the Braves now would be unwilling to deal Escobar, described by teammate Chipper Jones as the best shortstop in the National League. Whether Peavy would consent to a trade to Atlanta also remains in question, though if the Cubs are out of the picture, it can't hurt those chances.

Wow, we really were being stingy with our prospects, though, Escobar ad Gorkys is a big haul. I'm surprised that we think that highly of Charlie Morton. That makes me think he's got the inside track over other guys this spring to win a job in the starting rotation.
