QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 04:03 PM) Jayson Stark ‏@jaysonst 1m White Sox haven't shown interest in eating any of Peavy's $ (close to $24M left). That & health were big issues for Atl, Bal, StL & even LA That is infuriating if true. JR would be just plain cheap if this is the case. We are going to be potential shedding Rios, Ramirez, and Peavy's contract and we can't kick in some money to get us premium talent??

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 03:30 PM) Love it. Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 5m Joe Nathan is being shopped by the Rangers for an established hitter, other teams say. More than just internal talks. That's not good for the Rios talks. Damn you Rangers

QUOTE (staxx @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 03:44 PM) I'm thinking later tonight. Seems like things have really heated up today. Possibly, but seems like a lot of that news was bulls*** from Levine's article this morning.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 03:40 PM) Just wish the suspense could end right now I would guess he goes tomorrow. Hahn doesn't want drama on the day he's pitching (Tuesday) but wants to hold off as long as possible.

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 03:40 PM) You have to think the Cardinals are seriously involved in the process. If they're not the favorite they're close to it. In the last couple weeks we have heard Adams, Wacha, Martinez, Wong, Kelly, Blazek and maybe more names that I am missing. From the other teams, I think we heard Middlebrooks who was later shut down. Please correct me if I am wrong or missed something here. It's not usually the loud teams that get the big fish. MYSTERY TEAM! Seriously though, have we heard one name from the A's? Yet they are the favorite according to multiple sources.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 03:32 PM) Martinez more than Wacha Would be happy with Martinez and Kong and maybe a lesser prospect. But honestly Adams, Wacha, Kelly, Rosenthal all are good too. Cards are stacked.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 03:30 AM) On the bright side of things... The TPSM campaign is alive and well - we're almost in the #2 draft slot now!! God damn Houston is too good at losing! I want Rodon!

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 02:14 PM) My thoughts exactly. Not overly high on prospect list. I think that would be reasonable I agree that 1B may be a position of need for us...but when you are 40-61 and your system is ranked near the bottom, every position is a position of need. Just go with best player available.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 02:27 PM) . Pretty sure it's that. It was speculation. Yep. Peavy prepping like it's his last day. No s***, when your name is going around in rumor mills and you've been around as long as Peavy has, you prepare every day like it's your last around the deadline.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 02:26 PM) Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN now Nothing in @ESPNBruceLevine's story says Jake Peavy trade is imminent. Brought extra bags in case traded. A's still said to be in front. Damnit, Bowden. Getting me all excited. Thank you Dan Hayes. He's been the voice of reason during all this speculative bulls***.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 02:23 PM) Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan 4m For Peavy, Sox targeting tip-top prospects. Interested teams figure price will come down and see Sox taking multiple instead. Need depth. That's messed up. The price should go up or be met at the deadline. This is why Hahn is waiting for so long, GM's are testing him apparently. Don't back down Rick!

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 02:22 PM) Russell AND Choice or GTFo in my opinion. I'd love this, but nothing imminent, Bowden is going off an interview that Peavy is prepped and ready for a trade when it happens. Nothing new or breaking. But still funny he's going around asking the rumored teams if it's them in a trade that isn't going on right now.

QUOTE (elwood5892 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 02:18 PM) @JimBowdenESPNxm: Peavy about to be traded according to Bruce Levine ESPN Chicago and it's NOT the Cardinals, Red Sox, Orioles....could be A's??? Bowden is such an idiot

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 02:06 PM) Hopefully it's an hour after the game and they package Peavy and Alexei to the Cards. With the prospects they have in St. Louis, if they want Peavy and Alexei, they just gotta get them. Somebody is Hahn's main target and the rest are just drumming up the price. I would hope his focus is on the Cards because their interest in Alexei as well. Kill two birds with one stone.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 02:01 PM) Yeah Dickerson is a 1B who's hitting 296 14 HR and 57 RBIs in AA. And Kingham is 3-2 with a 2.89 ERA in AA. I'd take that in a heartbeat for Rios. Hopefully Rangers and Pirates bid against each other and up the price. Though I think Hahn is focused on dealing Peavy right now before his start Tuesday.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 01:39 PM) Danny Knobler reiterating that Pirates have had interest in Alex Rios. And that KW has been scouting their farm system. Hopefully this could happen for like Dickerson and maybe Kingham? Honestly, with Rios's effort and power slump lately, add in his contract, I would be thankful for a B prospect in return. I don't know anything about Dickerson and Kingham, decent guys?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 01:14 PM) Done and done. Would love that package, but names being discussed, not all together probably. It says something that the A's and their relatively weak farm system are the "favorites" when organizations that are rich on young talent like St. Louis, Boston, and Atlanta are involved.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 08:35 PM) If Ramirez is traded, one would imagine that the Sox would receive the SS he's replacing in return. Give Semien the rest of the year in Birmingham (or move him to AAA if he never cools off) and go from there. There is absolutely no rush with him. And he's been playing 3B for the past month anyway. Not sure if he can stick at SS long term.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 01:07 PM) FWIW, DBacks AAA lefty Patrick Corbin scratched from his start today Smoke is Garza to AZ for Corbin and others. No Upton of course, don't know who came up with that.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 12:47 PM) You could have said that all last winter and nothing was up. I think the people who think KW is planning on adding King Felix, Cliff Lee, Justin Upton and a few others to the roster are going to be a little dissappointed at 3 pm. The heavy lifting has already been done. I think he's looking for complimentary pieces some of which may be available after the deadline when more teams will be out. I agree, I don't expect a large move, it just wouldn't shock me. I would be happy with staying pat honestly, but it would be excited to double down again.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 11:26 AM) It's Eriely quiet out there right now for KW on a deadline day. Usually there is some kind of rumors going around or talk out there about the Sox, but nothing the past two days. It's odd with KW comments after The Liriano trade. I can't remember the Sox being this quiet on a deadline since we landed peavy at the wire a few years ago. Either something is up or nothing it up lol I agree...nothing even brewing, no news, something is up!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 11:04 AM) Made it to paragraph 4 before the obligatory Connor Jackson post. He has been crushing the ball since early June.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 03:11 PM) If we cannot get the Dumpster, then I want to see him NOT get traded. Then what? Couldn't the cuBS just release him? And then he could just decide not to pitch the rest of the year or chose where to pitch for the rest of this year. He could be claimed in August, not sure if the 10/5 rights apply to waiver claims. Then the Cubs would at least save some cash. Or they could work out a deal with him where they offer to qualifying offer and he rejects it so they could get a pick out of him. It's the least he could do since he's f***ing them over at the deadline

I've heard that Dempster to the White Sox was a "hard no." But anything can happen I suppose

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 04:30 PM) MLB.com is reporting that the Rangers are not high on Josh Johnson at all. So with them not going hard at him & the Angels already with Greinke, maybe the Sox can sneak in? Rangers are not high on JJ because of the price I am afraid. I don't think the Marlins have a big issue with keeping him.
