Thought that was gone for Phegley

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 12:55 AM) Rios for Ervin Santana? Why would Sox do that?

Jake, you ever hear more about what Ventura meant when speaking about Crain?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 12:41 AM) Maybe, but you aren't going to give up anything of significance to find out, and that is what matters for the Sox. Teams can just review film from last year's 2nd half to see how he responded to a pennant race. If a team doesn't want him because of his energy, they probably weren't ever serious about him.

Teams are just going to start playing Konerko like a lefty pull hitter. Come on PK, go out on a high note!

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 01:41 AM) The world where you're not trying to move that salary to bring in another $15 million player It's just a lot of money for someone that's going to be a #4 or 5 starter most likely for you.

Pretty sure Danks leads the majors in homers allowed per inning now

Micah Johnson with a double. Hawkins 0-2, 2k

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 01:33 AM) Danny Knobbler tweeted scouts say Rios is playing with zero energy. If I was a scout, I wouldn't care about Rios' energy in a meaningless game. You'd have to hope that being in a pennant race and the chance to make the postseason for the first time in his career would be enough motivation.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 01:33 AM) It's not so much his performance to me as the fact that he just doesn't really fit into the gameplan anymore. I'd rather put that money in the bank and use it when we're actually competitive. Yep!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 12:28 AM) I don't know how you could say no. Yep, and it would solve any concerns about having too many LHP in the rotation. I just find it very hard to believe he'll perform well enough to earn this extension he's received.

Simple question Jake...if you could let Danks go on a waiver claim and get nothing in return, would you do it?

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 12:23 AM) A little early to be giving up on Danks. I think we all knew that the recovering version of John Danks was going to deal with longball issues. He never got lefties out. Can't be surprising when one of the best LH power hitters in the game takes him deep. Cut him some slack I've said all along Danks has had better stuff than I expected him to have. The reason that myself, and others, would love if someone took his contract off the Sox' hands is due to the poor history of pitchers fully recovering from shoulder surgery. Also, I don't believe he'll ever have the command necessary to pitch without a plus fastball.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 12:17 AM) I pray to god someone claims Danks. Yep...he's giving up the long ball at a crazy rate.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 08:54 PM) Honestly, I wouldn't even want any of those packages. I'd want Russell, Choice, Gray, and a filler. Russell, Choice and Gray would be more than enough for Peavy

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 08:39 PM) I'd want Freiman and Taylor+ or Choice and Head+ from Oakland. Wow, that would not nearly be enough for Peavy. If you're trading with the A's, you need to get a few players like Gray, Straily, Choice, Russell.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 06:35 PM) Addison Russell is a damn fine prospect despite his slow start. Big fan of Sonny Gray. Kind of tepid on Choice. Athletics are an interesting match but not my first choice. I can't imagine they'd trade Russell.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 07:32 PM) A's could be dark horse team for Peavy says Jon Heyman. Just Beane trying to get Red Sox to give up more.

Daron Sutton or bust

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 06:39 AM) keep away from the comments section for this one on mlbtraderumors.... Ha, just saw those comments.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 06:36 AM) We actually have some prospects on the rise, particularly in pitching. Outside of E. Johnson, do we?

So far in July, Semien is 309/460/603 with 5 homers and an incredible BB/K ratio of 19/8

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 04:27 AM) I don't believe that one bit. If so then Hahn is an idiot. Top of the rotation pitcher that could be ready next year. Him and Sale at the top of the rotation would be awesome. Agreed, I don't see that being true. However, the good news is if it is true, it means he's available in possible packages with the Sox.
