DBAHO Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 ESPN 1000 is reporting the Sox have signed Dye 2 yrs 9 million. Wow is that confirmed? Considering we were going to get him for 3 years $15 mil, we haven't done too badly out of this I guess. If it's true, I'd assume he's making 4 mill in 2004, which will bring payroll up to about $69 mil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 It was just on the update. Tom Shear reported it is being reported out of NY that this is done.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beck72 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 The A's are looking for a big RH bat. The sox are looking for a top SP. Seeing how Carlos Lee has a reasonable contract, maybe the A's would like a Lee for Hudson swap. I don't think Juan Gonzalez will do it for the A's.

Punch and Judy Garland Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Juan puts up big slugign numbers when healthy though. I think he has to be a DH at this point in his career though. I read somehwere today that the O's are offering Bedard and B.J. Ryan which seems like not much. Also, more importantly is that the A's will offer a negotiating window for an extension before the trade. It sounds like it will be bewtween 4/48 and 4/56. Not sure if this was posted yet.

I read that Beane did NOT want to put that window in. [Why, I don't know. He'd likely get more in return for Hudson if a team could re-sign him] My bet is any team getting Hudson would do the trade knwoing they may not sign him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdue129 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 StL radio reporting that Hudson will be sent to the Cards for Haren and Marquis. Mentioned ATL might be involved in a three way. No word on other players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch and Judy Garland Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 That is an excellent deal for the A's. Both are big-league ready starters with good upside. Duncan/La Russa soured on Marquis for the same reason that Mazzone/Cox did, he doesn't listen. That said, he's a great talent. I think Haren will be an 18 game winner in the next few years.

Chisoxfn Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 ESPN has been trying to confirm it and thus far no confirmation. This may not be a done deal yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdue129 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Heard this just now too: Â Haran and Suppan to the Braves, Hudson to the Cards, and Giles and another player to the A's. Â Â Definitely still in rumor stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Seems like a deal that could make sense. Boy are teams stupid not to demand Marquis. Thats who I'd be asking for. I'd also be tempted to ask for Ankiel. Â Braves are making a good move from a financial standpoint and I realized they had Marquis, but I'd want him over Suppan.

Punch and Judy Garland Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Like I mentioned, I think teams are wary of Marquis utter uncoachability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 The name of Daric Barton is being thrown around, and he'd obviously head to the A's. Beane would most likely move Barton to a corner OF position but Barton offensively fits the Moneyball mold perfectly. Insanely high OBP, great average, plus power. This would be a solid trade for the A's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisox2334 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Cardinals officials are now telling TSN's Ken Rosenthal that no Tim Hudson deal is imminent. It looks like the Orioles and maybe the Braves and Indians are still in the running. Rosenthal also mentions the Phillies, Dodgers, Red Sox, Mets and Yankees as other potential suitors for Hudson. No AL West teams are viewed as candidates because it's assumed the A's won't trade Hudson within the division.

WHarris1 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Alright, so I was watching SportsPage on CLTV last night and they had Coop on for and interview. And this may be scratching for rumors but... Â They were discussing the Hermanson deal and out of the blue Cooper brought up Derek Lowe's name. He wasn't prompted or anything. Â Could he have slipped? Â Take it for what it's worth, probably just something stupid from me. :banghead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think Kenny is going under the radar looking at Perez but that's just pure speculation on my part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Zelig Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 What would be the terms of the three way deal with AZ/NY? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Ken Rosenthal on sportingnews.com says the Angels are close to signing Finley. It would end their pursuit of Beltran. Money hasn't seemed to have been an object for Moreno, and it appears that Beltran would get less than Vlad money. Finley has been very productive but is really getting up there in age. If I'm an Angels fan, I'd be a little pissed unless Beltran has given them indications he rather play somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His numbers have deteriorated, but with that heavy sinker, he is the kind of pitcher the Sox need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I may be making something of nothing but it was very strange the context it was in. I hope that it is true, I'd love to have Lowe in the Cell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Lowe is a Bora$$ client, so unless KW puts his "collective" ego aside here and JR, Lowe won't be pitching here. Period. And that'll be good news if the Angels sign Finley because that will have meant that Detroit will have missed out on both Glaus and Finley. Perhaps they'll probably go after Lowe now.
