QUOTE (girlslikebaseballtoo#26 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 11:16 AM) I'm still waiting for Joe to come up with a really good new nickname for this kid right here!! Chase Blackwood is a real tough one to do. And my 20-year-old mind can only think of dirty nicknames. Hah.

QUOTE (CWSOX45 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 03:23 PM) And everyone should be happy that he did say no. I certainly am. Viciedo looks real good so far. And I REALLY hope it is true that Don Cooper WANTED Jackson here. Because if we only acquired him for the Nats, and got stuck w/ him, then that's pretty bad news.

Jason Goff says Sox offered Jackson and Flowers, Rizzo said no. Rizzo wanted Jackson and Viciedo, and Kenny said no.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 03:10 PM) Ken_Rosenthal #Braves get W. Ramirez, "much bigger" deal close. #MLB Worth noting. Probably referring to the Ankiel, Farnsworth deal that just went down w/ Royals and Braves.

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 03:05 PM) Why? Theres still another month. So? The only player we could pick up on waivers would be players who have massive contracts. We just picked up one of those guys yesterday.

Well, I'm pretty disappointed.

BNightengale #mlb White Sox say there are done at deadline. No more deals at least not until players clear waivers

I'll be pretty disappointed if our only move this deadline was Hudson and Holmberg for Jackson, a move a lot of us don't even like.

Ken_Rosenthal Exec on Dunn: "He's not going anywhere. Bank on it." #Nationals #WhiteSox #Rays #Tigers #MLB UGH.....

QUOTE (G&T @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 02:28 PM) He said there hasn't been a counteroffer. Which is sorta consistent with the fact that the price hasn't dropped. Ken_Rosenthal #WhiteSox believe #Nats are using them to drive interest in Dunn. Nats had asked for Beckham. No discussions, to repeat, in days. #MLB He said "No discussions"

Anyone buying what Rosenthal is saying about Rizzo has not talked about a Dunn deal is "days"?? I really don't.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 02:14 PM) where's this from JCM? Rosenthall, sorry.

QUOTE (longshot7 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 02:13 PM) MLB Network? You think if I had it, I would be watching ESPN right now?

Ken_Rosenthal #WhiteSox still working on Dunn. Would be Jackson-plus. Source: "This thing is far from over."

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 02:10 PM) MLB Network You think if I had it, I would be watching ESPN right now?

Off-topic, but why has ESPN had golf, BMX, and tennis on all day? I want to watch some damn trade rumor coverage! I am 90% last year they had an hour long special from 2-3 PM to cover until the end of the trade deadline. This is crap, I want to see some talk....

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 01:57 PM) I would only trade Dayan if the trade nets us value past this year......would not do it for Dunn who's likely a 2 month rental What if they offered Dunn + Livan Hernandez for Jackson, Viciedo, and Danks2. Would you do it?

SI_JonHeyman jackson for dunn is still a possibility. but nationals want #chisox to add another player or 2 Ok.....so add another player or two who are not good players.....No Flowers, Morel, Viciedo, Mitchell, or Thompson.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 01:21 PM) me - tiiiired. sleeeep = good. white sox baseball = better Me too. I partied until 4 AM last night, didn't get to bed until after 5, and then had a meeting at 10 this morning at work. I'm quite sleepy.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 01:29 PM) Not surprised, Rizzo might get someone to panic and meet his price or he was not blinking until 2:59. Rizzo should be the one panicking. Dunn is worthless to him for the next 2 months, unless he feels he can get better value from draft pick than he is getting offered.

Buster_ESPN Heard this: The Nationals are still talking trade with several teams on Dunn, as we get closer to the deadline.#trades

I am kind of wondering if Kenny will shift his focus to a bench/bullpen player now, and worry about Manny in August.

Wait, so his contract means he is done playing baseball in 2 months, but we still pay him $15 over the next 3 years to not even play?

I am not a fan of Manny (as a person), but I wouldn't be too disappointed to see him bring that bat to Chicago as long as it's for some mid level prospects and no one significant.
