Giants acquire Peavy from Red Sox, but how much will he really help?

The news comes just days after the 29-year-old landed on the disabled list again this year because of the inflamed elbow. He's 2-7 with a career-worst 4.18 ERA in 15 games. Sabean said it's up to the doctors as to whether the Giants should expect him back, according to Pavlovic. 

Cain, who won two World Series with the Giants, is making $20 million this year, the middle of his $140 million eight-year deal. 

Sabean said Cain not improving, likely going for more tests/second opinion. Wouldn't say if he'll pitch this year, that's up to doctors.
