I haven't followed Middlebrooks, but wasn't he sent back to the minors for not performing this season?
Middlebrooks hits very much like Tyler Flowers

Trader Rick sure gets creativity points.
Garcia also may well mean Rios is on his way out.
Could also mean Viciedo to first if Paulie retires.
QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:53 PM)
Garcia, Middlebrooks and another prospect would be splendid
These are like the two most overrated prospects in the game to me I've got a long history of hating them both.

It appears Tigers are getting Jose Iglesias as part of White Sox-Red Sox trade

Called it! I'm going to cry if Aviail is our main get though...
QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:44 PM)
I'm just not sold on Middlebrooks or Iglesias.
Me either =\
Both of them appear to be BABIP fueled hitters -- swing at everything, hope pitchers don't figure that out.

My hopes aren't up, but it was the Pirates guy who mentioned his name in a deal. I would Fing love if Rick was able to pull it off
Some Twitter sources said a package had been discussed, though, not that the Pirates offered it.

Despite interest from the Red Sox, A's, D'Backs, and Cardinals, the sense is the White Sox are coming down on their asking price for Peavy, tweets Sean McAdam of CSNNE.com.
Inevitable

A's are back in on Peavy according to Slusser.
Goddamn that fickle Brad Pitt! Just make up your mind! Send us Carlos Pena!
QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 02:13 PM)
Now everyone's expectations for a return on Rios are going to be way too unrealistic.
Yeah, weeks of tempering expectations toward realistic just got ruined, lol.

if we can get Taillon from the Pirates everyone should be singing the praises to Mr. Rick Hahn
Don't know much about him other than he's their number 1 prospect. Got a quick scouting report on him and maybe Davidson?
Just do a time sensitive Google search and browse around. They'll all say Taillon is super legit. I can't believe there's any chance we actually get him, though I'm sure Hahn obviously asked for him.
