QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:23 PM) I think the trade really suggests the Sox believe Sale will be ready much sooner than most expect. Half the world doesn't like his mechanics however.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:23 PM) @TBrownYahoo - Source: White Sox hope to acquire Dunn without trading Jackson, but Nats desire Jackson. Geez,

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:15 PM) Jaime Torres? Damn I just found it, Viciedo changed his agents from Torres to Boras. Completely missed it.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:13 PM) One more fact: If Jackson does pitch well for the Sox next year and they want to keep him around long term, well, don't hold your breath on that one: Jackson is represented by Scott Boras. I believe he, Jones and Viciedo are our only 3 Boras clients at this point. Viciedo ? I thought he and Alexei shared an agent, can't think of his name.

Is the deadline 24h from now?

Even the official release on the main website says Jackson could be flipped for Dunn. Gentleman this day is long from over.

To answer whoever was asking earlier, Cowley said the 'world shocker' doesn't mean Jackson to Sox is off. My understanding is Dunn will be acquired using Jackson + throw in, while Kenny is working on a SP that could be had for Flowers/Morel/prospect/prospect.

Rival exec still believes #Yankees are in heavy on Dunn. Their "we're out" message was directed at #Nationals: Quit messing around! Rosenthal

Markakis and Guthrie? is that a world shocker?

The Jackson story is all over mlb.com FWIW

I don't think it's Eithier, don't Dodgers think they're still in it?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:30 AM) How about Westbrook and Choo in a mega deal? I'm all for it, I'll even go to Korea and do the military service for Choo.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:27 AM) Keith Law is finally right about something: keithlaw: I've never been a big Dan Hudson guy, but I'd rather have him at $400K than Edwin Jackson at $toomuch That says it all.

Si_JohnHeyman still seems to be optimism for #chisox, #dbacks deal. 3-way possibilities alive. chicago does like dunn, nats love jackson

Rosenthal Source: #Nationals also fielding offers for Dunn from other clubs. Question evidently is whether they could do better than Jackson

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:12 AM) That's why I find this interesting: cst_sox Jackson-Hudson deal is not off, it's just being delayed while KW tries to shock the world. Hudson for Jackson might still happen either way. 7 minutes ago via web I don't know if that's personally opinion, confusion or good info but it's interesting none the less. KW somehow picks up a bat without including Hudson then still flips Hudson for starter. That's what makes me think the big name is a hitter while Jackson becomes the 5th starter.

Cowley If I had names I would report them. All I've been told is it's big. Also been told that the chance of Hudson starting tonight is almost zero Jackson-Hudson deal is not off, it's just being delayed while KW tries to shock the world. Hudson for Jackson might still happen either way.

Rosenthal Dunn still in play for Sox, 3 way trade, Jackson to Nats

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 09:57 AM) Crossing my fingers for it being Prince Fielder. This.

Meanwhile Merkin's piece on Jackson - everything we already know. http://scottmerkin.mlblogs.com/archives/20...ut_will_he.html

Gotta love this time of the year~! Bring in on Kenny.

I'm gonna hold on till the deadline tomorrow before making any comments.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 08:15 AM) Edwin Jackson. Assuming he is not flipped for Dunn. I have a feeling Edwin Jackson and Lance Berkman will be on the Sox Roster come August 1st.

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 08:14 AM) For the people that said Edwin Jackson wouldn't help us this season.....can I have what your smoking because he's clearly is an upgrade over Garcia and Hudson (at this time). This team is in a win now mode, and this is a win now move. You can't have you cake and eat it too when it comes to keeping all your top prospects and fielding a contending team. I'm gonna go ahead and ask how is Edwin Jackson an upgrade over Freddy Garcia. Thanks in advance.
