Multiple major league sources have said that the Braves' offer for Jake Peavy is more significant than anything the Cubs could offer, according to MLB.com. Atlanta is reportedly willing to give up shortstop Yunel Escobar and one of their highly rated center field prospects, (Gorkys Hernandez or Jordan Shafer) as well as a young pitcher, which may or may not be either Charlie Morton or JoJo Reyes. The Padres have inquired about Jeff Locke, but it's unlikely the Braves would give him up in addition to the other players they've already agreed to include in any deal.The Cubs are reportedly willing to give up Felix Pie, Sean Marshall and Ronny Cedeno, which, as the report indicates, doesn't contain nearly as much value. Peavy is surely to be dealt soon, and Atlanta appears to be the clear front runners to land him.

Ken Rosenthal, of FOXSports.com, reports the Atlanta Braves are offering SS Yunel Escobar, either SP Jo-Jo Reyes or SP Charlie Morton and a third player, believed to be a top prospect, for San Diego Padres SP Jake Peavy, according to sources.
While Morton is expected to start 2009 in Atlanta's rotation, bank on more bumps and bruises for the erratic right-hander.

None.
Numbers in parenthesis for each team indicates total runs scored that game. Numbers next to each pitcher indicates earned runs.
The run differential is based on total runs each team scored when Charlie Morton has a decision. (i.e. win/loss) Similarly, the opposing pitcher listed also received a decision.
