CHICAGO, July 31 (UPI) -- The Chicago White Sox acquired right-hander Jake Peavy from the San Diego Padres just before Friday's non-waiver baseball trading deadline.
The deal consummated their effort to land the 2007 National League Cy Young Award winner.
Peavy refused to eliminate his no-trade clause in May when the teams worked out the parameters of a deal.
His status for the balance of the 2009 season is in limbo because he is on the disabled list with a strained tendon in his left ankle and has not pitched since June 8.
Peavy, 28, is 6-6 with a 3.97 ERA in 13 starts (81 2/3 innings).
He has a 92-68 record with a 3.29 ERA, only 435 walks and 1,348 strikeouts.
In return, the Padres got right-handed pitchers Adam Russell and Dexter Carter and left-handers Aaron Poreda and Clayton Richard.
