Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 27s The White Sox may well be trying to apply more leverage in the Peavy talks by saying they're holding him, before making a move... We'll see. Expand

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 04:23 PM) Negotiating. How does it work?

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. He's going to be traded.

Nick Cafardo ‏@nickcafardo 38s Rays may have scooped Red Sox out of Jesse Crain. Expand

Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan 1m Before Jesse Crain was dealt, the White Sox had considered packaging him with Jake Peavy or other players. GM Rick Hahn being very creative. Expand

Pretty sweet timing.

Joel Sherman ‏@Joelsherman1 21s Deal is done #Rays get Crain from ##Chisox for future considerations Expand

Joel Sherman ‏@Joelsherman1 26s Hear #Whitesox get future cons Expand

Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 52s Jesse Crain has been dealt to Tampa Bay, according to a source. Expand

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 02:27 PM) @JeffWilson_FWST: #Rangers no longer seriously pursuing Rios as trade deadline nears. GM Jon Daniels doesn't expect to make big splash. He's legit though. More posturing I'd imagine.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 02:24 PM) 13 followers Yea. Some of these Twitter accounts being posted lately are garbage.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 01:39 PM) In my opinion, if Dylan Bundy were on the table, Peavy would already be in Baltimore. Tommy John or not. Last year he was the best starting pitching prospect in all of baseball. He's still going to be a stud. I'd take that chance and be really excited about it. Yep. Bundy and Bradley were duking it out for the top pitching prospect in baseball. I'd take him in a heartbeat TJ be damned.

Bruce Levine ‏@ESPNBruceLevine 4m Crain could be traded today to One of two teams Tampa is the leading club. Complicated deal as compensation could depend on his performance Expand

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 12:59 PM) I see no issue with Hahn ASKING For that. When it comes down to it, I'd imagine he is now asking (or already has asked) for the best and final offers from all teams on Peavy, Rios, etc., and will then pick the best he can get. Or, if the return is just way too low, then he'll hold on that player. It isn't that complicated, but I really doubt it is a matter of saying "I want this" and then it ends there. Bingo.

The A's offer in the BP scenario is about what I expect as a realistic return for Peavy. I'd love to get Gray though. Just keep your fingers crossed someone gets desperate and overpays.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 08:57 AM) I still think the most likely top prospect he will acquire is Profar. Texas is desperate and a package of Rios, Dunn, and cash goes a long way to settling that teams offense. Profars star has faded as a bench/utility player. Is this post serious? Lol.

Bogaerts is going nowhere dudes.

Bundy is going to be real f***ing good. No idea what would be going back and forth in a trade though.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 09:39 PM) The posturing continues. Somebody will crack Yep. It's clearly posturing. And to be honest Russell and Gray is probably too much for Peavy. Russell is a top 20 prospect in baseball to many. You start out asking for the moon and negotiate from there. Gray and Russell will probably lead to some sort of combination of Gray/Ynoa/Choice/Alcantara/Bostick.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 05:56 PM) Cubs better not be getting Hanson for him That's my guess actually.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 04:25 PM) We are coming for you Marlins! If Rios and Alexei are moved, chances are looking good we nab that 2nd pick. Dat big draft/international pool.

Will Carroll recently tweeted that three of his credible sources have Peavy going to three different teams. I'd post the tweet but I'm at the Nats game. Well played Rick.

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 02:06 PM) In your opinion could SF put together an adequate package for Jake sans Crick? My head and the reports on the Sox wishes says no. Meh. I think I would only have them above Atlanta as far as possible returns go. It would help if Stratton was pitching above Low-A as well.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 01:59 PM) In my opinion, it would be a big mistake to not move Peavy by the end of the month. Seconded.

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 01:56 PM) Russell hasn't been playing for a week or so. Not directed at SoxPride, but another poster had said Adams is a butcher at 1B and I've read the contrary. Namely, Mike (the STL fan) has posted and says he moves quite well over there despite his big body. Can someone comment on what we would be looking at as far as return with SF? I like Crick's potential but I feel like he may be untouchable for SF. Anyone else know of their system? The only other guys I can think of off the top of my head are Gary Brown and Stratton. Brown is meh and I know little to nothing about Stratton other than him being a 1st rounder in '12. Clayton Blackburn. Andrew Susac. Martin Agosta is interesting with good numbers, but he really needs to be pitching above Low-A.
