Jake Peavy has excelled to begin the season, going 2-0 with a 2.75 ERA in his first three starts of 2012. He has faced the Rangers, Tigers and Orioles. Scouts have been impressed with Peavy's overall stuff and the fact that he is finishing off hitters (21 strikeouts in 19 2/3 innings). The right-hander is in the final year of his deal because the White Sox will not exercise a $22 million option for 2013. He earns $17 million this season, and the White Sox would likely have to take on a portion of what's remaining if he's dealt.
