before he clipped Clint McKay low to midwicket and Derbyshire capta

BOSTON -- The Boston Red Sox needed a starting pitcher. The Detroit Tigers were looking for infield help. The Chicago White Sox wanted more prospects for the future. And thats why baseballs biggest trade of the season came together. The Red Sox acquired Jake Peavy from the White Sox in a blockbuster three-team deal on Tuesday night that also sent shortstop Jose Iglesias to the Detroit Tigers. The slick-fielding Iglesias provides a nice insurance policy for AL Central-leading Detroit in case Jhonny Peralta is suspended as part of baseballs Biogenesis drug investigation. Iglesias also can play second and third. "The frank reality is that I do not know what is going to happen with Jhonny, but with this move, we now feel well protected if there is a long suspension," Tigers general manager David Dombrowski said. "We didnt feel we were well protected in that situation with our internal options. If it were a 15-day thing, like a typical injury, I think we could have comfortably dealt with it with the players we already have, but when you start to talk about 50 days and a possible playoff run, we feel better going ahead with Jose." Peavy is 8-4 with a 4.28 ERA in 13 starts this season. The 2007 NL Cy Young Award winner was considered the best starting pitcher on the market ahead of Wednesdays non-waiver deadline. "If theres one thing we wanted to do -- if we could pull it off -- is to add a starting pitcher as we look at the next two months," Boston general manager Ben Cherington said. Peavy tweeted a message to White Sox fans after the deal was done: "THANK YOU Chicago! Its been an honour & a privilege to pitch for u! You are 1st class & I will never forget you! So many emotions right now!" With Clay Buchholz on the disabled list with a shoulder problem, the move gives Boston another proven starter for the stretch run in the tough AL East. It also could strengthen the bullpen if the Red Sox decide to return rookie Brandon Workman to a relief role if Buchholz comes back. "We thought Peavy, of the starting pitchers available, was the right fit for us," Cherington said. "It just came together that this was the deal we thought made the most sense." The Red Sox also got reliever Brayan Villarreal from the Tigers. They shipped Iglesias to Detroit and three minor leaguers to the White Sox as part of the trade. Chicago also received prized prospect Avisail Garcia. Garcia, who turned 22 in June, hit .374 with five homers and 23 RBIs in 33 games for Triple-A Toledo. The outfielder, who was the Tigers minor league player of the year last season, was assigned to Triple-A Charlotte. "Were very excited about his upside," general manager Rick Hahn said. "We truly feel this is a five-tool player, someone whos not only going to hit for average but for power, run well, play above-average defence. "Hes still young and he still has a little bit of development ahead of him, but we feel weve acquired someone with a great deal of upside whos going to have a big impact on the South Side for many years to come." Peralta is among a group of players who have been linked in media reports to Biogenesis, a closed Florida anti-aging clinic that was accused by Miami New Times in January of distributing banned performing-enhancing drugs, sparking an investigation by Major League Baseball. The league could hand down multiple suspensions as part of the case in a matter of days. The 23-year-old Iglesias hit .330 with a home run and 19 RBIs in 63 games with the Red Sox, who trail division-leading Tampa Bay by a half-game. He was the AL rookie of the month for June, when he batted .395 with six RBIs. "Jhonny Peralta is our shortstop until someone tells us he cant be our shortstop," Dombrowski said. "If that happens, we are very comfortable with Jose going forward, but until then, we have a talented young player who can play second base and third base very well." Cherington said discussions with the White Sox had been going on for some time, but the two teams couldnt agree on a deal until the Tigers joined the mix. By giving up a young asset in Iglesias, Cherington said the Red Sox wanted a player for the future as well as the stretch run this season. Cherington said there was no cash involved in the deal and the Red Sox are assuming all of Peavys contract, which includes a $14.5 million salary for next year and an incentive-laden player option for 2015. "Hes an intense competitor. He loves to pitch," Cherington said. "I think hell fit in nicely with the group that we have." Cherington said Boston was familiar with Peavys medical history and comfortable the 32-year-old would be a healthy addition. "Were going to get Jake here and get him into the mix," Cherington said. "It wont be tomorrow. We dont know quite yet when it will be." The other minor leaguers headed to Chicago are infielder Cleulius Rondon and pitchers Francelis Montas and Jeffery Wendelken.

Derbyshire 307 (Hosein 83*, A Hughes 55, Shreck 4-78) and 286 for 8 (Madsen 134*, Hosein 58) lead Leicestershire 247 (Cosgrove 95*, Davis 4-68) by 346 runsScorecard Wayne Madsens 23rd first-class century for Derbyshire has given his team an excellent chance of ending their county championship drought in the Division Two match against Leicestershire at Derby.Derbyshire were in trouble at 57 for 5, a lead of only 117, but Madsen and wicketkeeper Harvey Hosein, 58, added 143 in 42 overs to put the home side on course for a first four day win of the season.Leicestershire skipper Mark Cosgrove had made an unbeaten 95 and Clint McKay claimed his 50th championship wicket of the summer but Madsens unbeaten 134 guided Derbyshire to 286 for 8 at the close, a lead of 346.Cosgrove had two aims when play started, to get to three figures and to restrict Derbyshires lead, but Leicestershire added only 19 runs in an hour for the last two wickets.Tom Milnes found some away swing to take the outside edge of Richard Joness bat and although Charlie Shreck stayed with Cosgrove for nearly nine overs, Tony Palladino had him caught at third slip off his first ball of the day.Cosgrove deserved a hundred for the way he had battled with a damaged hand to keep his side in the game but his bowlers hit back strongly either side of lunch to regain the initiaative.ddddddddddddBen Slater had already survived a confident appeal for a catch behind before he clipped Clint McKay low to midwicket and Derbyshire captain Billy Godleman quickly followed when he played on to a ball that kept a little low.Signs of uneven bounce were both good and bad news for Leicestershire but their hopes of chasing a modest target in the fourth innings rose when Alex Hughes was run out by a direct hit after Madsen called him through for a sharp single.When Neil Broom was lbw for three to one that nipped back from Neil Dexter fourth ball after lunch, Derbyshire were 32 for 4 and in danger of letting the game slip away but although Tom Wood fell to Shreck nine overs later, it was the signal for the game to take another twist.Perhaps the run-out of Hughes had provided Madsen with added motivation or maybe it was because he was batting against Leicestershire who must be fed up of bowling at him.He has now scored four centuries against them and this latest one was his fifth of the season and his fourth in the last nine championship matches. Hosein completed his second fifty of the match and Tom Milnes and Tony Palladino helped take the lead well past 300 but the day belonged to Madsen. ' ' '
