Jake Peavy is, without question, one of the greatest Padres of all time.
He was the ace of the staff the last two times the Friars won the National League West and became a fan favorite for his pure grit on the mound. But, it's been a while since he was in town.
Jake was helping Major League Baseball at the Draft Combine at Petco Park, his first trip to San Diego in six years. So, in a special edition of the OnFriar Podcast, NBC 7's Derek Togerson caught up with Jake for an update on life and baseball.
