I like their pitching prospects more then Adams, IMO. We do have Dunn for another year and finding power at 1B isn't the toughest thing to do. Starting pitching is always the toughest thing to develop/acquire.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 04:22 PM) The White Sox are telling other teams they're going to keep Peavy and build around him. -- OLNEY NO f***ING WAY. Negotiations have gotten fierce apparently. It's all misinformation. Hahn is trying to gain leverage.

Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 56s The White Sox are telling other teams they're going to keep Peavy and build around him. Yeah right!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 12:46 PM) Robert Murray ‏@RobertMurrayMLB 16m The #WhiteSox are asking for two top prospects and a 'lesser' player for Alex Rios, per @jaysonst. Don't be surprised to not see him traded. We gotta eat some money in his deal if that's what we are asking for. I don't see any way around it with Rios.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 11:42 AM) Why is it that not one media member can produce an accurate story about us this year? That's a good thing, when it comes to trade rumors anyway.

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 11:39 AM) Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan 46s Sources: Deal for Jesse Crain to Rays not close to done. Talks for now. Good news for White Sox is teams aren't scared off by his shoulder. Good news? Also, looks like talks of mystery team were overstated or in preliminary stages.

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 11:06 AM) Who's "gordo"? Gordon Beckham

QUOTE (GoGoSox2k2 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 10:57 AM) agreed. Heyman is one of the most reliable in the industry in my eyes when it comes to these situations But no mention of mystery team...telling? What is the Rays bullpen situation??

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 57s #chisox are in talks on a deal involving injured all-star reliever jesse crain and the rays, as espn chicago reported Jon Heyman confirmed! It's red alert people!

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 10:54 AM) I buy Crain may be close but don't buy it with the Rays. If we trade Crain I still see him packaged with Peavy to Boston, but this could also signal we're trading Peavy to someone else other than Boston, like STL with Alexi (please) Definitely. The mystery team would be acquiring Crain, Tampa Bay just facilitating it.

QUOTE (GoGoSox2k2 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 10:51 AM) or in the article the source they had only knows the specifics of Crain going to Tampa so that is all they included I am going to guess that mystery team is Braves. No credible sources, just my hunch. They've had interest in Crain previously, tied to Peavy if deal is going to get bigger.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 10:44 AM) In other news, my dick may be hard. Haha! Agreed, real deadline news!

ESPNChicago ‏@ESPNChicago 2m Source - Chicago White Sox close to trading Jesse Crain Three team deal, Rays involved

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 10:27 AM) That was a fun read. Ya gotta love the Rays offer haha. I honestly thought the A's offer was just as solid as the Pirates, I guess it depends on how much you like Choice.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 10:17 AM) I think it would show they are desperate to move him, and if anything, encourage teams not to pay too much. The Sox need to keep the leverage. I think it will all be moot anyway. I would say have every indication you are planning on starting him, but ask for team's final and best offers Tuesday morning. If not what you have looking for, have him pitch and be done with it. If someone blows you away Wednesday before the deadline so be it. Sox could always trade him this winter to a team that doesn't want to part with the king's ransom that Price will demand.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 10:04 AM) Someone like Cecchini, who I'd still be enaromerd with. I'd be happy with either Xander, Cecchini, or Iglesis as a starting point. I just don't think I want Will Middlebrooks he scares me but also could be a Hanley type thing were Boston trades him and regrets it for a while because of a slump NO MIDDLEBROOKS. I don't want your used good Boston. But yes, Cecchini and possible one of their big pitching prospects, Owens, Webster, Barnes, Ball, Ranuado.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 09:59 AM) No not at all. If Hahn pulls that off, I'll go absolutely nuts. And Rosenthal the Sox are not trading Chris Sale. GOOD Good for a number of reasons and it would absolutely ruin the Peavy market as well haha

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 09:57 AM) Does anyone think Boston would actually trade Bogaerts? Honestly no. But they have a lot of nice prospects in a tier just below him that we are probably working on.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 09:55 AM) Rienzo is. Johnson pitched last night and they pulled hiim after 2.1 innings/66 pitches. Just being cautious with him. First start off the DL, didn't want the pitches to pile up. Rienzo is pitching extremely well right now and age appropriate, he gets the call.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 09:44 AM) Then you are doubling the risk. Not only is it possible that Bundy may have been a bust without surgery, then you have to be certain that he comes back 100% from the surgery which is not a guarantee either. Just don't see it as the smartest move given Peavy's value right now. Depends on exactly what other team's best offer is. If the A's offer Russell, Cards offer Adams/Martinez, Boston offers Bogarts, etc etc, then you take those offers but if Bundy is your consolation prize...that's a hell of a get.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 09:16 AM) Tigers trade for Jose Veras from the Astros, so /thread Not a big deal IMO, I doubt we were gonna deal with the Tigs anyway. Unless we get a lot for Reed, I am fine with him sticking around.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 09:18 AM) If Bundy is the centerpiece of a Peavy deal, then Rick Hahn failed miserably. I don't care how talented Bundy is. You don't give up the top pitcher on the market for a guy who just had major surgery. The Sox aren't trading Paul Malholm here. Not everybody recovers well from Tommy John either. I don't think anyone would be saying Hahn failed miserably if we landed Bundy, surgery or not. The track record for that procedure is quite good.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 09:14 AM) Since Peavy is scheduled to start tomorrow, teams acquiring him should be motivated to make a deal before then. They could get an extra start out of him this season. Tough decision for Hahn though, do you set a deadline like Theo did, or put a spot starter in there and take the extra time? Personally I think you have to set a deadline, we have Rios and others to trade.
