Nightendale just said "white sox cautiously optimistic" when asked about dunn to white sox

Nightendale reports Berkman exercised his no-trade rights for a possible trade to the White Sox. These guys are still bitter about 2005.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 06:11 PM) I heard all the stuff on the radio, and my prediction is Adam Lind or Jose Bautista. That's not shocking, give me Dunn please!

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 06:06 PM) OK, I had no access to Soxtalk all day, and now I see that this trade is official. Any actual news suggesting that where/for what Jackson would be flipped? As of right now it looks like he is staying.

Olney: Heard this: The Astros are picking up a lot of the money owed to Lance Berkman in their agreement with the Yankees, and the NYY#trades Yankees won't be sending any major prospects.

Yankees got Astros to send money back and won't be sending any good prospects. Berkman could have been had for NOTHING. Kenny better be working on something BIG. Olney: Heard this: The Astros are picking up a lot of the money owed to Lance Berkman in their agreement with the Yankees, and the NYY#trades Yankees won't be giving up any major prospects.

Stark #Rockies telling teams they couldn't trade Brad Hawpe right now no matter what. Might need him to play 1B depending on Helton health

Olney tweets Yankees were frustrated with Rizzo and what he wants for Dunn so went and got Berkman before Rays could do so.

Cowley did say we would get better by tonight if this deal went through.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:50 PM) did Cowley seem like he knew the name or is he just hearing this from his sources without names attached? because with Berkman seemingly done to NYY, KW might be leaking stuff so Nats don't think it's Dunn or bust, wouldn't be shocked if we hear a few more names attached to the Sox tossed around tonight. In the morning he specifically said 'if i knew names I'd post them' or something along those lines.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:46 PM) No way....a bit of a power outage, yes...but a great hitter still, yes... You're right, seems like he hasn't done anything for my fantasy team. Still batting .314, OBP in the .400s

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:44 PM) I just noticed he only has 8hrs this year...hurt that much? He has played in 61 games this year.

Manny is on the DL and looks garbage this year, yes I said it.

Didn't know that, he was studly last year. He apparently is dating Rhianna

I'd bleep myself if we got Kemp. How is he doing this year?

Has Cowley confirmed Kenny still working on this 'big' deal? I can't imagine this deal being Dunn (done?) lol.

Berkman to the Yankees seems all but done. Let's see if Rays go hard after Dunn.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:27 PM) It wasn't a personal shot at you. It's just an unrealistic dream. Whoever brought that up pulled it out their ass. Other than John Danks or Beckham, we don't have a thing in our organization that could net us Ethier. See my earlier post Jordan, we were just throwin out names like Either, Greinke, Markakis, etc. It was after Cowley said Kenny is trying to shock the world.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:23 PM) thanks for the LOL baseball guru, just killing time and throwing names out, and it was one I didn't even bring up initially. Originally when Cowley said Kenny is working on a 'world shocker' we were throwing out names that would really 'shock the world' take it with a grain of salt, and this isn't meant to you bud, just overall.

Not sure if it was mentioned but Kenny said they like Jackson and they need to fix one thing with his mechanics.

Heyman #chisox would like to get dunn without including e. jackson but may have little choice but to offer him. #nats love jax. Same old, same old.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:45 PM) What he really meant is that they are know "irritants" even if Pierzynski is actually a good guy. Sorry, I really care less about Myers as long as he helps us win games. Seems like he becomes SoxTalk number 1 target (assuming Kotsay is DFA'd when we get Dunn)

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:44 PM) Great Bernstein line: Myers-Pierzinski the ultimate jack-ass battery of all time. Pierzynski is a f***ing gentleman compared to Myers. AJ really gets too much hate.

Between Jackson/Myers there is two hated dudes.

QUOTE (girlslikebaseballtoo#26 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:30 PM) I'm hearing that the deal is Hudson/Holmberg for Jackson ...where are these other names coming from?!?! I'm so confused ..someone PLEASE fill me in!!! As of right now there is no other names. Hudson and Holmberg were traded for Edwin Jackson. That is all for now. Rest is speculation.
