Red Sox trade Jake Peavy to Giants

[Auggie]

The San Francisco Giants acquired right-hander Jake Peavy from the Boston Red Sox on Saturday for a pair of minor league pitchers.

San Francisco is sending right-hander Heath Hembree and lefty Edwin Escobar to the World Series champion Red Sox in the swap.

Peavy will make his Giants debut in Sunday night's series finale (8 p.m. ET on ESPN) against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Giants held a half-game division lead in the NL West against their rival going into Saturday night's middle game at AT&T Park.

Yusmeiro Petit had been scheduled to pitch Sunday for the Giants with right-hander Matt Cain on the disabled list.

Desperate move -- Cain must be done for the season.

2. Peavy's season of suffering in Boston is over at last.

Poor guy couldn't buy a win. Well, he had one...

4. Not really his fault this year...

I wish him well...clearly this year is over.
