SoxFan562004 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 B & B are saying Swisher to NYY for a package, only name mentioned is a minor league pitcher named Marquez... Hope Sox didn't sell low on a 28 year old with a decent career Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) Great, so we traded 3 of our top prospects for one year of terrible baseball and nothing in terms of prospects. This also means Konerko is going nowhere. Edited November 13, 2008 by fathom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dww879 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Konerko, Thome or Dye all should have been traded instead of Swisher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 This has Kenny written all over it... got a former 1st rounder who's stock has dropped, and Marquez is a sinkerballer too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 There has to be something else although Swisher was god awful and still has $24 million left on his "reasonable" contract. If this "prospect" is all they got back, the Swisher trade of last winter probably will go down as KW's worst so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 There must be more moves in the works. You don't just give away a guy like Swisher without other stuff in the works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
