QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:13 PM) Agreed, especially coming from someone that knows their system so well Garcia called a "future all-star" by Nightengale and viewed as highly by a lot of scouts. The fact that we took him away from Detroit just sweetens it. It's a good return for Peavy.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:08 PM) MLB.com Garcia not listed in top 20 specs??? He's not a prospect anymore. Too much major league time

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:06 PM) No one has any clue but I'm gonna be surprised. Sounds like it..Nightengale just said White Sox did well to "dump" Jake Peavy's contract and acquire Garcia. I thought it was a fair market short term deal???

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:58 PM) White Sox: Garcia, Middlebrooks Red Sox: Peavy Tigers: Iglesias Middlebrooks isn't confirmed yet. Just was leaving the clubhouse and said "good night not good bye"

Iglesias to Tigers??

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:47 PM) Please no Avisail. I'd much rather have Middlebrooks. Why??

Three way deal with Detroit!

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 05:37 PM) A deal is going to happen tonight IMO...there's just too much interest in Peavy. Someone will cave soon. Looking like tomorrow now that they have moved back Peavy's start. And why not, the D'Backs gotta move Ian Kennedy and the Red Sox, A's, Cards, and Pirates can keep sweating it

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 05:37 PM) Trade People! Suck More!! Get with the program, man. Haha I know it as #TheRoadToRodon

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 05:11 PM) Steve Gilbert ‏@SteveGilbertMLB 1m My colleague @brianmctaggart reports that #Dbacks are believed to be among frontrunners for RHP Bud Norris. Retweeted by Buster Olney God damn Astros, first they are better at sucking then us for the #1 draft pick, now they want to trade Norris THE SAME DEADLINE as Peavy??? What gives with these guys??

How funny would it be if Towers unloads Kennedy with the expectation to acquire Peavy and then we trade him to St. Louis or Boston. It'd be a cycle of douchebaggery at the deadline!

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 04:08 PM) Just eat the freakin money.... Easy for me to say haha Easy for us to say but if we are going to get 15M off books and pay 5 to get premium talent I think it's a no-brainer. Especially if we can get rid of Rios too. I know that rebuilding attendance might suck but not that bad.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 03:46 PM) Inevitable OR IT'S INEVITABLE THAT SOMEONE CAVES TO HAHN'S REQUESTS

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 03:33 PM) Fake Sherman account claiming Bud Norris was traded to Baltimore. Looked exactly the same....clever bastard. Oh gotcha. Yeah I've been fooled by similar accounts a few times myself.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 03:32 PM) Both are undependable. And the Braves aren't that strong at the top of their rotation either. Peavy fits their park. Oakland and St Louis both have stronger staffs. And the price isn't that outrageous...sounds like 1 top 50 and a couple of other good prospects. Frank Wren has been really tight about his top prospects. Anyone Hahn would want he will block. I think they checked in when Hudson went down and immediately checked out. Though I do agree with you that they would be a good fit on paper.

Damnit. I just need to ignore all rumors until tomorrow. Peavy and Rios will probably go down to the wire.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 03:30 PM) *Fake account* god damn I hate when that happens ??

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 03:25 PM) I'm surprised Atlanta hasn't checked back in. Beachy was awful last night. Maybe they think they have their division locked up and their top 3 are good enough. It was his first start back and Maholm is coming back soon. Would be a overreaction to bench him at this point, considering the haul Hahn wants for Peavy.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 03:21 PM) 101 ESPN just said STL is out on Peavy. I won't believe until I see it from an unconfirmed twitter account with less then 50 followers who hasn't tweeted since December.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 03:22 PM) Can't give specifics, too many moving parts. I can say that they Sox are looking for young pitching or hitting, possibly both. Also, a few of the names being discussed are players you've heard of before or maybe not, depends. Can you confirm the players coming back to the Sox are indeed, baseball players and not some other variety?? Anxiously awaiting your response

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 02:37 PM) Would a package of Kennedy, Kubel, Davidson, Owings, and Holmberg be too much for Peavy and Lindstrom or just Peavy? AZ would never do that. I would be ecstatic if we got Davidson, Owens and Holmberg. Makes no sense to acquire older players.

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 02:32 PM) I am not sure what the fascination with Holmberg is around here. Is it because he was a former Sox farmhand? People like names they know I guess. His 6.2 K/9 in AA doesn't really excite me. I agree. He's going to be a OK rotation starter, not a ton of upside.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 02:32 PM) Let's just say that if the end of the world happens and Hahn gets Skaggs, Davidson, Owens and Taillon for Peavy, Rios and Ramirez, then Hahn has a job for life here. Ha! Why not Adams and Martinez from St. Louis too?

QUOTE (GoGoSox2k2 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 02:29 PM) our line-up card should be getting release so we should know what is going on, whether a trade or we just send down a pitcher I am sure they will include everyone. It's when they get scratched is the time to get excited
