wow Ken_Rosenthal Source: #WhiteSox wanted #Dodgers to pay all but 1M of approximately 6.7M left on Manny's 2010 contract with no player coming back.

QUOTE (Mattchoo @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 04:41 PM) Normally, I'm a pretty optimistic guy. I just don't feel it today... Of course you don't - doubt is a mother f***er. =)

QUOTE (Mattchoo @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 04:39 PM) Can someone tell me what the Orioles are trying to do as an organization? They suck year in and year out. Hudson on their team would be their #2 starter IMO. We should have been able to get a deal with them for Scott or Markakis. We will get another bat to replace Kotsay / Jones.

QUOTE (Mattchoo @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 03:31 PM) and there it was... the mystery bat I doubt we get an IMPACT hitter today Expect the unexpected today. =)

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 03:29 PM) lawl, you knew Kenny would have gone there. Ken Rosenthall will be talking about it on MLB Network in a minute.

Hummm - They probably asked everyone about everyone. =)

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 04:18 PM) Followed always by: David AAAAAARDSMA, Mike MacDougal and Sisco say hi! Never saw the logic behind those "fixes." I never heard them say anything about seeing a definitive flaw in any of those guys. Also, it takes a flexable student for a teacher to be successful.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 04:14 PM) would you give up mitchell and flowers for scott? flowers yes - mitchell, no.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 04:04 PM) "Coop will fix him" has become a cliche' Sometimes a cliche is a cliche for a definite reason. =) I like that they see a flaw in him and that to me says they can help him reach his potential. Woot woot. Put me in the "I love the coop will fix him post if there is logic behind it" camp.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 09:05 AM) Rizzo is playing hardcore hardball. I'm going out on a limb and say the Sox pull a quick one to acquire PRINCE! Yawn.

How would we all feel if KW and CO. some how landed Dunn with a package that included Jackson + cash to Washington and also landed Brett Myers from the Astros?

Brett Myers to the twins rumors have come up just now. Yuck

QUOTE (The Bones @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 08:42 AM) Agreed. The kid's only 21 and he's already raking. Since it is 3am....

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 08:37 AM) And they can't afford to offer arbitration for the picks. Rizzo knows he's got to deal Dunn and he's gonna rape KW in the process. The Rays have the pieces, but they aren't gonna mortgage like Kenny will. We're certainly gearing up for an interesting deadline in the next 12 hours - but come on... Kenny won't go nuts for Dunn... nuts as in CQ, Beckham, or Floyd. I just hope he doesn't give up Viciedo. This idea that there is still a under the radar option out there is intriguing... Very interesting 12 hours ahead - for sure. =)

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 08:35 AM) Gut feeling - Would Kenny deal Quentin for Dunn? I know he doesn't want to. But he knows this year is coming together as a chance to get another ring. No way. No how.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 08:29 AM) Normally if they were planning on trading a player the FO would want Hawk and Stone to not hype them up so the fan base doesn't fall in love with them and then get angry when/if they're traded. JEsss Jesss - you make zdeeee goooood point.

QUOTE (joejoedairy @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 08:19 AM) markakis! i wish The doubles machine!

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 08:07 AM) we have but they havent

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 08:01 AM) I cant believe Kenny and Rick are still talking to Rizzo. Are they prepared to go all in with Viciedo?

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 07:58 AM) still thinking dunn could happen No Dayan go bye bye unless it's crazy good WOW. On a personal note, it's clearly time for bed.... however, i doubt any rest will be had until Saturday after the game. =)

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 07:56 AM) They are targeting a bat beyond the longshot right? Of course, they're sure to have plan A, B, C, X, Rs, and D6 WOOOOOOOO!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 07:54 AM) It's 1:53 AM and I've been drinking. Does somebody have the audacity to even insinuate that Lucas Harrell is a legitimate prospect? I AM THE EGG MAN!!!!

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 06:42 AM) I use this board to practice beat poetry as well as for baseball discussions. I'm banging on a trash can as we speak. I am the walrus.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 07:39 AM) That clinches it for sure. Brad Radke or Jeremy Bonderman will be our fifth starter next year if Harrelson has his say, with Inge at 3B. it's clearly 1am on july 31st =) delirious!

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 07:31 AM) i know who it is i am the walrus?
