Preparing for what seems like an inevitable trade from the Chicago White Sox, Jake Peavy has cleaned out his home locker.

"It is sad to think that this is probably my last day in here," said Peavy, who has spent four years with the club. "We all realize the reality of the situation and I am prepared with that to happen soon."

The Boston Red Sox, St. Louis Cardinals, Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers have all been linked to Peavy.

The White Sox have kept Peavy and his agent informed on the process over the last two weeks.

"[GM Rick Hahn] has been outstanding through the whole time this has been talked about," Peavy said. "This is a tough situation for Rick to be in. I don't think any of us at the start of the season thought we would be in the shape we are in now. Rick has been open and honest, up front with me and my representation. I think anyone in this clubhouse would tell you Rick Hahn is a first-class individual and this is a first-class organization. We have been on the same page the whole time."
