"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Boston Red Sox pitcher Jake Peavy says he is preparing to be dealt before the trading deadline for the second season in a row.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Peavy was traded last season by the Chicago White Sox to Boston as part of a three-team deal with the Detroit Tigers.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Peavy, 33, said he spoke to Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington, who told him he was on the trading block. The St. Louis Cardinals are reportedly one of the teams interested in Peavy.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CI love this place. If it happens I\u2019m certainly prepared for that. I\u2019m not blind to the fact,\u201D&amp;nbsp;Peavy&amp;nbsp;said via the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Boston Globe&lt;/em&gt;. \"Just getting a pulse on things.\"\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CWhen you get to this point, it\u2019s a mutual respect thing. This is where I stand and this is where we stand. It\u2019s nice not to be blindsided by anything and kind of have some feel.\u201D\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JAFFE: As Red Sox struggle, top prospect Xander Bogaerts hits rough patch&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A three-time All-Star and 2007 National League Cy Young Award winner,&amp;nbsp;Peavy is 1-7 this season with a 4.64 earned run average and is in the final season of a two-year, $29 million contract. He hasn't won a game since April 25.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Red Sox are 39-51 and 10.5 games behind the Baltimore Orioles in the American League East.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-&lt;em &gt;Scooby Axson&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
