Jake Peavy had a near perfect spring, despite persistent rumors that the Padres are still looking to trade their highest-paid player.
Peavy didn't allow a run in 14 innings of Cactus League action.
"I'm excited to start the year," said Peavy. "I guess I'm as close to ready as I can possibly be. I've got the confidence going that I can give the team a chance to win."
Peavy will start for San Diego on Opening Day against Los Angeles.
