QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 03:17 PM) Just talked to my source, he confirmed that the Sox are engaged in talks with multiple teams about several players, Sox would receive minor leaguers and/or young major leaguers in return, money could also be involved. Deal could be announced in the next half hour or some time tomorrow. Heard it here first. I'd prefer the next half hour, but that's just me.

It's going to be funny if at this time tomorrow we're waiting to see if a last minute trade got in under the wire. Pure panic will commence.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 03:00 PM) Now who is going to pinch run and get thrown out stealing or trying to score? Casper Wells

Tekotte got sent down to make room for Rienzo.

Alejandro de Aza CF, Alexei Ramirez SS, Alex Rios RF, Adam Dunn 1B, Paul Konerko DH, Conor Gillaspie 3B, Dayan Viciedo LF, Gordon Beckham 2B, Josh Phegley C, (Andre Rienzo P) Big Keppinger trade coming.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 02:10 PM) This is driving me f***ing crazy. Just trade Lindstrom or something to distract us for a while

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 01:54 PM) finally a reason to be excited again. Something is going to happen other than the games. Quite frankly, the Sox are in a better position right now than being an 83-85 win team, "competing".

I hope Reinsdorf isn't messing this up.

The common theme in all of this is cash. It's going to be interesting what they do, and what rumors come out afterwards on what they could have done.

QUOTE (GoGoSox2k2 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 01:20 PM) Knobbler, Heyman, Rosenthal all mentioning Dbacks back interested in Peavy I could see them interested in Peavy, but Kubel going to the Sox? That's not the direction the Sox should be going. Everyone new should be under 25.

https://twitter.com/ChiTribRogers/status/362276040808202240 No, Phil. Go away.

So what's going to happen first--Peavy trade or Troncoso or Purcey sent down? Something has to give this afternoon.

Choo is on the wrong side of 30 anyway. No more of that.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 12:46 PM) Wow, it was for all three of them? The guy mentioned they discussed Peavy and Ramirez. But if Kaplan is saying Rios is close, maybe it's all three. But I can't see the Pirates being that bold.

It's getting down to the end, which is nice. 26.5 hours. It wold be incredible if the Pirates got Peavy, Rios, and Alexei in the same deal. I don't see that happening, but it's fun to think about.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 11:12 AM) I dont get why people are just errantly hoping for a trade You have to hear what the trade is and then decide if you like it or not. I think some are hoping for a trade because we assume (yes, assume) the Sox will have done their homework and made a trade they're happy with.

It would appear Red Sox or A's, but who knows? 28 hours.

https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/362240171556605952 No current talks with Cardinals. Enjoy St. Louis, Jake.

https://twitter.com/Sawchik_Trib/status/362228827042217985 Figures the Sox would be interested in an Indiana University player. Laumann probably watched him play a million times.

Starting to feel like they'll get down to the last minute with Rios, and the Sox will take the best offer. That would be a nice contract to get off the books for next year.

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 09:24 PM) Anyone else giving up on today? Yes. Thought it would happen today, but I guess we'll have to wait a little longer. Or a lot longer.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 07:50 PM) He's in Shaker Heights, clearly. He's crashing at Ariel Castro's tonight.

This day has been comical.

4 errors for Birmingham. Semien made his 20th error. Didn't realize he was up there that much.
