The Jake Peavy trade derby is now down to one viable team, according to GM Kevin Towers.

?It's really come down to one club now ? the Cubs. It's going to take awhile. They have a couple of players to pick from that we are interested in but anything with them is going to potentially involve a third team or fourth team. We're focusing only on them.?

Towers said his conversations with the Yankees ?were not substantial? and that he told Yankees GM Brian Cashman ?until I get the go-ahead from Jake, I'm not going to? explore trade options with Cashman.
