CHICAGO (AP) — Mobile native Jake Peavy is staying with the San Diego Padres.
The ace pitcher has turned down a trade to the Chicago White Sox, choosing to remain with his longtime team.
The Padres and White Sox had reached an agreement but needed the 2007 Cy Young Award winner to waive his no-trade clause.
Peavy says, "as of right now," San Diego is the place to be.
Peavy, who turns 28 later this month, is 3-5 with a 3.82 ERA. He made his major league debut with San Diego in 2002.
