NL Cy Young winner Jake Peavy is closing in on
the biggest contract in San Diego Padres history.
Once the deal is finalized, the right-hander will be guaranteed
52 million dollars from a three-year extension that runs from
2010-2012. Should the Padres exercise a 22 million dollar option
for 2013, the deal would be worth 70 million.
The deal is contingent upon the 26-year-old Peavy passing a
physical.
The unanimous winner of the Cy Young Award, Peavy led the NL
with 19 wins and topped the majors with 240 strikeouts and a 2.54
ERA.
