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.

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/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.

Ask him if he pronounces his last name, Hienzo, like Wayne Randazzo does. (I'll never call him that)

Ask him if he's in, or on the way to Cleveland, Ohio.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 06:29 PM) He might be flying to Cleveland just in case. That's what I'm thinking too. If they don't make a deal by tomorrow afternoon, they can always say they're pushing the rotation back a day to give everyone rest.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 05:51 PM) So keeping an established top flight starting pitcher, who you have under control for at least the next year and a half is riskier than trading him for an unknown number and level of prospects? Really? We don't even know what offers look right now to even start to make a statement like that with any level of confidence. Bottom line, the Sox are a bad team. They have a veteran piece that is seemingly in demand right now. Given that Peavy has a history of injuries, I really don't see how his value can get much higher in the offseason. Unless they're being offered crap...let me repeat that....unless they are being offered crap from 3-4 teams, then they should try to trade Peavy right now. Acquire as much young talent as possible, because the Sox are a bad veteran team right now, and that's the worst kind of team. We'll see what happens...I think he's getting traded before the deadline, but if he isn't, I'd like to hear what Hahn has to say in the aftermath (not that he's going to say what they were offered).

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 04:49 PM) No your just assuming they are getting good prospects back(Who the hell knows) and think they should trade him immediately for that. Yeah I was way off. Take some meds and have a nap. I said if they're getting offered crap from everyone, pass. But I find that unlikely. At some point, Peavy's trade value is what it is. They'd be dumb not to move him now for the best offer. BTW, the whole "take your meds" thing. I think I've seen you write that to other people, and while it doesn't offend me personally, you probably should cool it with that noise. Don't be an idiot.
