soxfan3530 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 this was on cubstalk. take it for what its worth but god i hope its not true. White Sox involved in another trade? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yankees Trade Vasquez and Karsay to Marlins. Yankees Trade Gordon to Diamondbacks. Marlins Trade A.J. Burnett to White Sox. White Sox trade Garland and Konerko to Diamondbacks. Diamondbacks trade Randy Johnson to Yankees. Reported on ESPN Radio....Said deal is almost done.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yankees' Board Any thoughts on that deal? I would assume the NYY is paying nearly all of Vazquez salary and probably sending some cash somewhere else in the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Garland and Konerko for Burnett. Well I guess it's not Javier Vazquez, but i'll still like to squeeze an extra prospect out of the deal at least. I think Burnett will rebound and have a huge season next year though.

striker Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 If that's true then there's another $12mil off the payroll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I don't believe that for one second. That's basically a mixture of all the deals that have been discussed. If we did that move, we'd have even more holes...including obtaining a starting pitcher with huge injury problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedoctor Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 i can't see the sox trading konerko now. they can't trade away all their power, can they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjones Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I'd do it only if we get Delgado and another pitcher and maybe Palanco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetman Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 this will be another one of those trades everyone says is horrible before the fact and good after the fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 DBacks don't have much need for Konerko -- Why would the Marlins trade Burnett($4M) for Vazquez and Karsay (plus cash I'm assuming) That would add at least $4M to their payroll while getting worse.

hi8is Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 we would be saving 12 million in that trade... coupled with the 8 from the lee trade... we all of a sudden would have 20 million to get a starter and a first baseman/2nd baseman/whatever will fill the offence hole hummmm? and burnett will be a monster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I take no value in information posted on a Cubs message board. Even if ESPN radio is listed as a reference. However, I'll humor this deal: Money avaialble from Lee trade + 12 million (Konerko & Garland) leaves 20 million to spend on available talent. Delgado and Clement/Perez suddently becomes realistic.

So the Marlins get Vasquez and Karsay for Burnett and we get Burnett for Konerko and Garland? Is Burnett that much better than Vasquez? karsay and Garland better? I don't think so Why not keep the Marlins out of the deal and give us us Karsay and Vasquez; or give Karsay to the D's and we'll keep Garland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 In reading the Cubs board I am laughing histerically. They are complaining about having to face Lee a dozen more times next year. Yay, go Cub Killer! Also, this thread was from a link on a Yankees board. Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 so konerko and garland for burnett...delgado...and perez/clement is what you're saying basically. That wouldn't be bad at all... Essentially, yes. Although the salary available would be less than 20 million. Money available from Lee's departure is near 6 million, and I failed to add Burnetts salary (which I'm unsure of) A figure around 16 million may be more reasonable. Which is still a large amount of money to spread around a team. Pure speculation; although it could work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 The Marlins are getting Vasquez and Karsay for Burnett We are giving Konerko AND Garland for Burnett That is where the inequity lies Get the Marlins out of the deal and it becomes more reasonable; they are pillaging here - they get a better pitcher AND an extra pitcher.

chisox2334 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Soxfan ur the same guy who posted the bullcrap trade of us getting perez and craig wilson from pirates. Are you trying piss us off? We just lost lee today and you have the nerve to say something stupid as that. Like I told you last night kenny looked too happy and he went to the " umm theory" meaning yes something happening and same thing kenny did with dye coming here. Its complete b.s. and I do listen to raido and no it was not metiones so stop it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
