QUOTE(dmbjeff @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 11:40 PM) what the hell would we give the red sox? No, we would be just stealing a major component of the Manny 3 way trade that now is dead.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 11:18 PM) To late. I just emailed em. Look for the deal to be completed by noon tomorrow. Great, so when I could I order my Ken Griffey Jr. Red Sox jersey?

I don't think we make any deals.

I don't see us trading for anyone. Not even Mackowiak. I definately don't see this team doing anything major. Jayson Stark said that we made one last huge push for Schmidt, but the Giants don't want to trade him. Eh well.

Watch it be A-Row.

Is he at least much better than Ozuna at 3B? If he's not, then the move really doesn't make sense.

It's obvious a trade is in the works. That's why Jenks left. Jenks for Ken Griffey Jr. I knew Kenny wouldn't let me down

I love the Spyderman!!!!!

Rob Mackowiak is meh. I don't see him helping us. Yes, I checked his stats. Maybe a decent bench bat, but nothing Gload can't do. I know tons of people will like if this move is made because he's from Chicago and lots of guys are high on Mackowiak around here.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 10:07 AM) The article said Eddie had no trade protection to the Yanks, Red Sox and Orioles. Haha, I read. I guess he doesn't like the AL East or at least the top 3 teams in it.

Ozzie micromanages.

I agree. Past 2 games, he's pitched great. Too bad he didn't get the win against the BoSox, but still. Great the past 2 starts. Maybe it has something to do with him pitching against the AL East. Who knows?

QUOTE(TheBlackSox8 @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 09:40 AM) none fit what we're looking for. Hitter, starting pitcher, relief pitcher?? I'm sure there are several of those players on the market.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 09:30 AM) news flash: the white sox are interested in every MLB player that isn't a white sox. What's the over under and them getting any of these players? I honestly think we get none.

Well then I was watching a re-run of SportsCenter because that's what they were showing with Buster Olney.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 09:04 AM) Anyone think the "roadblock" might be KW offering TB more for Huff? Nope, it's been said the roadblock is the Red Sox simply wanting more when they were ready to complete the deal.

Apparently, the Red Sox are working on a deal to get him. They are willing to give up their C prospect, Kelly Shoppach for him which would work perfectly for the Mariners.

QUOTE(Adam G @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 08:48 AM) I find it a little bit ironic that Manny wants to be traded because of the lack of off the field privacy in Boston, so he's going to New York. He's probably more open going to New York since he's from there.

Well that's a problem. KW must go on without Ozzie if he thinks that this team can't be improve. This team could improve in all areas if you ask me.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 10:15 PM) I don't understand why it HAS to be a three-month rental. I'd say there's a fair chance at having him sign an extension, especially if the team is competitive and he likes it here. I agree. Just because someone isn't signed through next year, doesn't make it a 3 month rental. You can't make that judgement until the end of the season.

HELL f***ING YEAH AWWW POO' LIDDLE OREOS...YOU JUST GOT DUNKED IN MILK BISHES!!!

Red Sox, Mets, and TB have agreed to a 12pm deadline Saturday to hammer out a deal.

QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 08:31 PM) All they seem to be offered is Cameron and Huff. Send Rowand and someone else and get this guy here. Sounds like a plan. Git R Dun.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 08:28 PM) Not trying to be a dick here, I don't have any links, but I know Manny hates playing DH, he has b****ed about it many times. That's the only reason Red Sox play him out there is he creates a huge fuss if he DHs Oh, I'm not either, but I've never heard that he hates DHing or anything like that. I'll have to take your word for it. I always thought that Boston used Ortiz as the DH because he was worse as a fielder at 1B than Manny was at OF.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 08:25 PM) 1 - Are the Sox going to take on a contract on that size right now? 2 - Would Manny agree to be a DH? 3 - Why would Boston trade him to what looks to be their main rival for a world series spot in the AL? 1-With JR you never know. He wants that World Series Ring, BADLY! 2-I would think so or at least partial DH. People say he refused to DH. I never heard of that so I can't comment on it. 3-For pitching or prospects to turn around and trade to possibly Florida for AJ Burnett.
