Ok, people on wsi tuned into the radio station and now it's not official and it might only be 1 minor leaguer.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 12:38 AM) Sounds legit to me. I know and that's why I'm confused.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 12:35 AM) Rumor has it that the Sox traded 2 minor leaguers for Blum. Ya, I saw this and I'm confused.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 12:26 AM) I have it on good authority that McCarthy will be playing at the home field of the Durham Bulls this coming week (Tampa's AAA team). Explain....?

QUOTE(103 mph screwball @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 12:05 AM) Earlier I suggested the Sox get Lugo in the trade if they have to give up so much for Baez and Huff. I didn't really see that happening, it was more of my way of saying go for it all this year and heck with prospects. Well, DrGiggles just posted this link on WSI 620 WDAE Devil Rays rumors Well it talks abut a 3 way deal in that little article with the mets. So baez would be going to the mets obviously and I'd assume Huff and Lugo here, interesting to say the least.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 12:09 AM) BTW, the Cubs are reportedly interested in Huff and Baez. Where'd this come from???

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 12:02 AM) i'm slowly starting to warm up to huff. Well, if he's dealt you'll have to be warm enough by tomorrow.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 11:55 PM) Anyone else thrilled though that we're not playing until tomorrow night? Thus, we can just sit back and follow the trade deadline rumors without having to watch the game also. Yup, same thought crossed my mind. As if this stuff already wasn't driving me nuts but having a game the same time as the expiring deadline would have been hard to handle.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 11:49 PM) See Tony, I don't b**** ALL the time! It really is something that we're seemingly forgetting about. A lot of these teams trying to make trades are doing so just to have a chance to make the playoffs. Most of these teams would trade every single prospect they had in order to get a lead as big as the Sox have right now. Maybe it's just me, but I never saw the point of trading for another starting pitcher. We have our main 3 guys, and those are the pitchers who deserve to start in the playoffs IF we get there. If we don't make it, we don't deserve to. I like you better outside the gamethreads

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 11:41 PM) My old roomate's name was Sam. I didn't like sam very much. That's a sad story.

Well take this with a grain of salt since it's the Ny Daily News, actually that probably means it won't happen: While the Sox chose to sit Ramirez vs. the Twins last night at Fenway for unspecified reasons, Tampa Bay was nearing a deal that would ship Aubrey Huff - one of Boston's primary acquisitions in the Ramirez blockbuster - to the White Sox.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 11:24 PM) Is Relaford > Willie??? If he got cut by the Rockies, I'm guessing no. Neither can hit but Willie can defend and run. So to answer your question Willie is much better then Relaford and I mean much better.

QUOTE(Tadahito Iguchi @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 11:19 PM) I'm agreein, but he cudnt hurt them as a backup for Juan And Gooch............... There's not enough roster space as is.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 11:18 PM) Definitely not. He is a quality arm with goof stuff but to overpay for him would be bad. Baez and Huff for MBac, Sweeney, and Tracy??? Yes, No? I do that in a heartbeat, wouldn't be enough for Lamar though.

Yucky.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 11:16 PM) Yeah, I'd love beaz in our pen don't get me wroung. I just don't think he's worth a Chris Young or Ryan Sweeney. Agreed.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 11:13 PM) IMO Huff - Proven hitter. Can play 3B/1B/OF/DH. Left handed power. Huge upgrade over Carl Everett. Baez - meh, I don't like him as much as most people do. I wouldn't give up anything of substance for him which would mean most likely not getting him at all. Lugo - no With Huff and Lugo I have the same feelings as you. I actually like Baez but the asking price is so ridiculous it's just not worth it. Huff's a guy I would be willing to overpay for, Baez--definitely not.

QUOTE(Sam @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 11:02 PM) Will Kenny pull the trigger on any deals? I'm gonna go with....maybe.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 11:01 PM) Let them take Willie too s***. BTW, who is that in your avy. I've always wanted to ask... Chris Getz.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 10:54 PM) 4-5 prospects for Julio Lugo? Ouch. I think he meant Huff and Lugo. Either way, I don't want Lugo booting the ball everyday for the sox.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 10:47 PM) That was an awful trade for SF. So, trade three of your best young pitchers (Williams + Foppert + Aarsdma) for Hawkins and Winn? Randy f***ing Winn? So, rather than keeping their young talent, they're going to make an attempt at that weak division by getting Randy f'n Winn? Mercy, Sabean is a f***ing moron. Sabean just makes me laugh, is he ever going to try and get younger or is his goal to have the average age of his team at 40?

QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 07:34 PM) We have a closer with an 88 mph fastball? Get Billy Wagner quick. We have a closer with a 1.8 era and who's 24 for 25 in save opps.

Best wishes to Allen and his family.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 09:54 PM) espn can say what they want, they are not the ones in contact with other teams negotiating deals It would definitely take 3-4 spects to land those two, that's why at the moment I think the best bet is to just go for Huff and I do like Baez. Huff is just a great hitter and he'd be a godsend in this lineup. I'm hoping for Aubrey, he's the guy I really want.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 04:09 PM) I said tomorrow before the game. Oye ve, don't mind me. Sorry about that milkman
