This trade comes as little surprise as the Giants have had their eye on Peavy for some time now and their need for starting pitching help led them down a road where Peavy grew into more and more of a viable option.
What the question now is what does this mean for David Price, as the Giants were scouting the Tampa Bay Rays starter rather heavily before making a move to seemingly acquire Peavy from Boston.
