New owner coming, Signs pointing toward Peavy

WSJ.com is reporting that the Cubs are planning on naming their new owner by the middle of this week. I hope finally the ownership situation will be over.

I've avoided talking about nothing but Peavy on this blog like some sites do, but there are a lot of signs that point toward the Cubs trading for Peavy. Here's a list:

• DeRosa traded for 3 minor league pitchers.
• Pie traded for Olson who interests Padres.
• Marquis traded for Vizcaino.
• Hendry says things like, "Don't judge my moves until opening day."

Hopefully, when the ownership thing is finally over, we'll get the news that Peavy will be wearing blue pinstripes.

A few other notes,

• Ken Rosenthal says that if the Cubs make another big move it will be Peavy. They are not interested in Orlando Hudson.
• Sources say that the Cubs are 1 of 8 teams interested in Andruw Jones.
• Pitcher Kris Benson will work out for the Cubs and 3 other teams next Saturday.

I'll keep you posted.
