Peavy to Boston, Iglesias to Detroit in three-team trade

While we are still waiting on all the details to come in, the Red Sox are close to acquiring right-hander Jake Peavy from the Chicago White Sox. According to reports, Jose Iglesias (pitcured) will be sent to Detroit, and outfielder Avisail Garcia is going from Detroit to Chicago.

Alex Speier of WEEI.com is reporting that 19-year-old Lowell infielder Cleuluis Rondon is one of three lower-level prospects who will be sent from Boston to Chicago to finalize the deal. We will have more information when this deal becomes final.

UPDATE (12:02 AM): The Red Sox have announced the trade, including the new details that right-handers J.B. Wendelken and Frank Montas, along with Rondon, will head to Chicago as part of the deal. Detroit Triple-A right-hander Brayan Villarreal, who is on Detroit's 40-man roster, will come to Boston as well.
