Probably something lame like Iglesias Middlebrooks fringy relief prospect

Been a while since I posted but here you go https://twitter.com/jnorris427/status/225000416818118659 Heard from a source that ‪#WhiteSox‬ are definitely "zeroing in" on ‪#Yankees‬ Betances. Probably to flip him.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 01:54 AM) At least the Phils won't be getting brown Uh... Brown plays for the Phillies

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 05:39 PM) If I had a dollar for every time this sentence has been repeated I could buy my favorite pornstar (Lorena Sanchez) for one night. Prior to this season, Dunn was one of the most consistent hitters in baseball. It's not ridiculous to expect him to turn it around, once and if his BABIP ever returns to career norms. Looking at his numbers, it's just impossible to explain why he's been this bad. I know I expect him to turn it around any day now. I've said that all season and I'll keep saying it.

Bears miss out on Colon too. Looking like a pretty ugly FA period so far

Add Bushrod to the list of missed targets

QUOTE (whitesox1 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 03:14 PM) so im guessing this rumor was just a big tease? Probably but it's also obviously too early to tell.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 06:36 PM) Dom Brown and a pitching prospect. You don't give up Quentin and Thornton without getting back a MLB ready part and a top 100 prospect Unless you're KW or Moz

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 06:21 PM) Zach Stewart better be something, or else we basically gave up Dan Hudson for Jason Frasor... This deal is KW cleaning up his own mess. That's like burning down the house because you're out of clean dishes.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 05:24 PM) So the Sox save like 4 million this year and 5.5 next year? Who is paying for Frasor and Miller?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 05:23 PM) And still finish in 3rd place at best Perhaps you didn't notice the Rays these past few seasons?

Bautista Rasmus Snider is a pretty nice outfield.

Sox are getting Miller too. What is with KW and acquiring middling relief arms (ie most of the draft)?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 05:09 PM) Feel free to adopt my signature. This is a crock of s***. Where are you badger? I thought Viciedo had to be included? Jackson, Thornton, and Reed and this gets done. Clearing Teahen's contract was more important than acquiring talent.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:59 PM) Also, someone tell me why I should sell the farm for an OF that has 1000 PA, mediocre power, run production, batting average, etc. that also is a below average fielder according to UZR? Toronto pretty clearly gave up spare parts. Good spare parts, but nothing critical.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:50 PM) Yup. However Thornton is more expensive and signed late into his career. Octavio Dotel is 37 years old.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:41 PM) And I'm going to say you belong in a rubber room. Edwin Jackson + 2 relievers? You think KW couldn't have done better? Are you joking?

QUOTE (Sockin @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:37 PM) Rasmus to Blue Jays for Jackson and two relievers. One being Dotel. https://twitter.com/#!/joestrauss/statu...257276083580928 I'm going to say that yes KW could have easily bested this.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:29 PM) Any word on moves the Indians and Tigers might be working on to counter this? What moves do they need to make? We're throwing in the towel.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:10 PM) This deal actually looks pretty good as Stewart could be flipped rather easily and gives a prospect to be traded in the next couple of days. The salary relief also helps. Stewart is not the prospect he once was. Old for AA with a bad WHIP and is at best a back of the rotation guy.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:40 PM) I would also like to thank Edwin for contributing to my alcohol abuse with his painful to sit through 120 pitch clusterf***s that forced me to drink even more to compensate for excessive boredom. Good riddance. Jackson, in his time with the Sox, has an ERA of 3.66 and an ERA+ of 114.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:32 PM) Seems to me that people are freaking out that we couldn't just use Jackson for Rasmus as if that's gonna be the deal straight up. It comes down to two things 1) The Rasmus trade is very dependent on who Toronto sends as to just how bad it looks for KW. 2) KW turning Daniel Hudson into a relief pitcher and salary relief is atrocious planning and the height of his incompetence.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:31 PM) All I have to say is Alex Asosoefhjfdjsf is quickly becoming one of the top 5 GMs in all of baseball. That happened when he managed the Vernon Wells trade

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:25 PM) Are people really freaking out that the Jays will flip Jackson + Teahen for Rasmus? ...if they flip them for Rasmus I'd put it at about 1000% that they also include one of their top prospects which the Sox don't have any of. People are mad because KW traded away a very good young pitcher for an okay older pitcher, which is now being turned into a relief pitcher, while another team uses Jackson as the centerpiece to acquire a very good young outfielder. In other words, KW is mismanaging his resources and other GMs are taking advantage.

So let me get this straight. If this is true... KW effectively traded Josh Fields, Chris Getz, and Daniel Hudson for relief pitcher Jason Frasor, cash, and a prospect. Color me skeptical.
