fathom Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Ha, so no deal. Why is it the solid sources in the national media are wrong when it’s moves we want to happen but right on blah moves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 The only thing that has stopped the deal finishing is they haven’t agreed on the talent packages 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why trade with the As? That's just lazy. The Sox willingly went into the season with the staff as is. They have a couple of injuries, which will keep 2 pitchers out for 1 month. Why make a desperation trade for 1 month? I wouldn’t trade for Montas at any cost. Don’t get me wrong. But it’s not 1 month dude. It’s 2 years and the Sox could certainly use Montas now and for the next 50+ starts he’s make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 4 minutes ago, KrankinSox said: Mike Rodriguez clearly has sources and has been correct in the past and very recently regarding White Sox related moves. However, him and Hector have been spotty with info at times. All other "insiders" on twitter seem to be refuting it and the big name reporters haven't said anything. Pal seems to be weakening on his stance that this is close. Seems like nothing is going down, at least not tonight. I hope to be wrong. To be fair, the people feeding WSD stuff probably don’t want it out there that a deal is close so no one jumps in last second. Not saying this is going to happen, but I don’t think anything yet discredits the original rumor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maloney.adam Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) If Oakland keeps asking for Vaughn than fuck that back away. That’s too much for Montas. Let some other team overpay for him.

Both of those guys (pick one of two + Montgomery) together, plus one third tier piece is going to be the next ask after AV. They won't get it, hopefully/obviously, but it's a starting point.

You don't approach Oakland willing to trade Vaughn then suddenly change your mind. The only thing making sense is the A's asking for at least one of Burger/Sheets AND Montgomery.

caulfield12 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) One thing that's always going to be consistent... site owners/operators will typically embrace what brings more traffic and conversation, as long as it doesn't put the site in any type of legal jeopardy. I do agree that people have a right to be skeptical. That resulting discussion is what leads to insiders so to speak having credibility or not. And for those outside of the know, there will be those who seem almost overly deferential to these insider gods, and those naturally on the opposite end of the spectrum.
