Former Cy Young winner Rick Sutcliffe is trying to convince Padres' pitcher Jake Peavy to approve a possible trade to the Cubs. Peavy is represented by agent Barry Axelrod, who is still employed by Sutcliffe. "The Cubs are one of the teams Jake would strongly consider," Axelrod said Monday. "He likes an awful lot of things about the Cubs and their management. He has pretty good scouting reports from Sutcliffe and and others. It is one of the places he would look upon favorably." Peavy has a no-trade clause in his contract, and the Padres are still actively trying to trade him. "Rick Sutcliffe is not officially recruiting, because he is not in an official capacity with the Cubs," Axelrod said. "But he has certainly extolled the virtues of being a starting pitcher with the Cubs."
