BY SCOTT LAUBERLAS VEGAS -- One thing is for certain about the multi-team trade rumors involving Jake Peavy and Mark DeRosa: Nothing is certain. That, and there absolutely no consensus about what might happen.
A few minutes after I talked to one source who claims the Cubs aren't likely to trade DeRosa, we hear ESPN broadcaster Steve Phillips is reporting that a trade may be completed by tonight and DeRosa will, in fact, be heading to the Phillies. According to Phillips, the Phillies would send two prospects (J.A. Happ or Carlos Carrasco and Jason Donald) to the Padres, who also would get Cubs pitcher Jason Marquis and outfield prospect Felix Pie.
Hard to imagine the Phillies would give up that much, but we'll have a chance to ask Ruben Amaro Jr. in about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, I'm headed back to the lobby to see if anyone will confirm, deny, or more likely, avoid the rumor.

that is too steep for one year of a utility man coming off a career year. not worth it unless SD feels like sending us hairston too.
And Hairston and DeRosa still wouldn't be worth Carrasco and Donald.
Not to be a jerk, but can anyone believe what Steve Phillips has to say?
