Don't forget Milton hasn't signed with anybody and I believe Stark was saying him going to the Yankees has cooled off... mentioned he's looking for 8m... it fits the sox budget now

If they are done after signing Clement, they can afford about 8-10m a year which is the numbers being thrown around for him

Yeah, I remember him saying that... and to me the key is Clement said his wife wants to stay...

Wow, that is news! They must be the mystery team that was talked about today...

I put SP via trade... I think KW has something in place and something will come soon

if my math is correct he should have about 7-10m right? he was at 72 of the supposed 75 payroll, this saves him about 7m... that should get something done

I'm in the line of thinking that we have tried the power line-up approach for 4 years and have won jack s*** so I like this move... will absolutely love it if KW actually uses the 7-10m he may have to add more!

Score is saying the Cubs may have found a team (didn't name) who would trade even money for Sosa, basically a group of players that equal sammy's money. But then the update guy said "so the Cubs wouldn't have to pick up salary," but the Cubs still wouldn't be freeing any payroll, just shifting it...

yeah, I agree... if that goes down then he would have to announce another move right away using the salary he dumped...

Gammons said if Dodgers could get Lily and Rios from Toronto, that would get Hudson... I would have to imagine Lee and Garland would be comprable to that deal

Said White Sox still want to do 3-way with AZ and NY for Vazquez

Basically said Dodgers and Red Sox are out of Hudson... not enough players that interest A's... Clement to Angels

Edgar to the Red Sox

Gammons is going to be on Dan Patrick show, see if he says anything...

Dan Patrick show is on, I'm guessing they give the Chicago updates

If he did this, even with a top prospect, KW would have to have another deal in place, either FA or trade because this would free up a good deal of payroll

Same thing... just discussions about Pod and Lee on ESPN

They have a top minor league system, KW could want prospects, especially if he only wants Pod and minor leaguers to free up payroll

Anyone know the salary ramifications of a Lee for Pod and Ginter trade.... Sox have about 3m under the 75, so if this adds only about 3m and sox have 6m left, I'm not sure that leaves them a ton of flexability

Washington is saying they won't take him unless the Cubs pay every penny of the contract (I imagine the Royals would be in the same boat)

I'M SORRY!!!! It took me an extra few minutes because I had to decipher what Levine was saying since he had Jim Hendry's dick in his mouth during the interview...

Bruce Levine just reported that he saw KW in the lobby of the hotel looking for Reinsdorf and he asked him "Should I wait for an announcement," and KW basically said "I may have something in the next two hours, or maybe nothing at all."

Oh my God, Bruce Levine is sucking off Jim Hendry saying "I would never bet against him" but then went on to chronicle how he lost out to Atlanta on the Kolb trade. Just silly... Also said that he expects Sosa to be traded because again, "I would never bet against Hendry" he literally said it 2-3 times Also Washington won't take Sosa unless Cubs pay his whole contract, and cubs only have about 5 million left under their budget and reiterated it would take a Sosa move for them to pursue Beltran

FWIW the Score 670 are reporting both CLee rumors.... they're just using generic "baseball sources" language... (The Lee rumor they had Lee and Crede for Hinske and Bautista, but the Koskie signing seems to hamper that)

Boy, after just watching the interview on TiVo I would say KW is happy about someting... and if I was PK or Lee I wouldn't sign a lease in Chicago for awhile because it seems like he is willing to deal those two and might have options on the table.
