QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 11:10 AM) More likely sent back to the team hotel for a day. More likely making a sandwich in the clubhouse.

Bassitt sent down. Wilkins, Snodgress, and Sierra added.

Alexei wouldn't clear waivers, would he?

Adam Eaton CF, Carlos Sanchez 2B, Jose Abreu DH, Avisail Garcia RF, Conor Gillaspie 3B, Dayan Viciedo LF, Andy Wilkins 1B, Tyler Flowers C, Leury Garcia SS, (Jose Quintana P)

QUOTE (ron883 @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 10:59 AM) I had no idea Dunn has never played in a playoff game. Wow. Glad he finally gets to play in the playoffs. I hope he has a good playoff series and wins it all with the Athletics. Might be one game in which he loses and goes 0-4. Losing the Play-In Game shouldn't be considered "making the playoffs", but I guess that's a different topic.

2nd rounder from 2012. High k rate. I'll take it.

Trade is done. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/p...id=sanbur001nol

The question is, how many of those guys can be added before the game? Hopefully the Dunn trade happens in the next hour. Should be an interesting lineup card today.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 10:24 AM) Snodgress trying to earn a spot for next year I see. Hopefully he can do what Charlie Leesman could not.

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 09:54 AM) I'll for one miss Adam, I appreciate everything he did for our Sox even after his 2011 season, great person, great teammate, great leader, and great hitter, best of luck Adam! (watch him not get traded and re-signed, just our luck) Barf. I wish him well, but come on.

Looks like his final Sox slash line will be : .201/.321/.410/.731 106 homers in 528 games.

I hope it's the A's. They come to Chicago for four next week. Awkward....

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 08:37 AM) This is getting good Yep. Too much smoke here. He's going. I could put up with him for the last 4 weeks, but getting Wilkins at-bats is more important.

With 27 Games left for each team.... 1. Tex 53-82 2. Hou (Aiken for now) 3. Col 54-81 4. Arz 56-79 5. Hou 57-78 6. Min 59-76 7. Bos 59-76 8. Sox 61-74 9. Cubs 61-74 10. Phi 62-73 11. NYM 63-72 Let's see how many of these teams play the final 27 at 10-17 or worse. Last year was ridiculous for tanking.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 07:34 AM) I would think Dunn would waive it for a chance to compete? /fingerscrossed He better. It's looking like he's gone sometime in the next 15 hours.

Peavy...6 outs away.

Orioles got Kelly Johnson in a trade too. Jemile Weeks moves on again.

Montas 5 IP, 1 hit, 1 unearned run, 1 bb, 1 k 60 pitches

Woo. Viciedo!

26 hours. Bye Dunn.

Didn't Contreras and Thome leave on the same night? We got time tomorrow.

Blackmar was a year or two older than Courtney Hawkins at the same high school.
