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.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:48 PM) Danny Knobler ‏@DannyKnoblerCBS 3s It appears Tigers are getting Jose Iglesias as part of White Sox-Red Sox trade Expand Called it! I'm going to cry if Aviail is our main get though...

Wait, how much do you guys want to bet that Iglesias is going to DETROIT as a replacement for the soon-to-be-suspended Peralta?

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.

f***ing 4.8% walk rate -- we need guys that get on base!

QUOTE (daggins @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:41 PM) also getting JBJ sets up Rios to Texans for Odor No chance he's a part of the deal.

I was REALLY hoping for Cechinni -- I don't trust Iglesias' bat.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 04:53 PM) 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.

Taillon is a pipe dream, my friends. Please do not get your hopes up.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 04:35 PM) Several dollars. Dozens, at least

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 03:43 PM) 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

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 03:36 PM) Rios would veto a trade to the Yankees. http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/white-sox/...se-trade-rumors

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 03:26 PM) Gallardo just limped off the field. Dark times for Brewers fans.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 02:46 PM) 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.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 02:09 PM) QUOTE (GoGoSox2k2 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 02:08 PM) 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.

Holy s***, Taillon? That's insane.

Apparently only money is holding up a deal for Peavy to ARZ, according to MLBTR

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 01:39 PM) Then how do you explain Francisco Liriano being the ace of the 2nd best team in MLB (by 1/2 game)? He's always had frontline stuff, his problems have always been health and inconsistency. It's not surprising that he has gone on a tear like this, he's done it before (in the AL Central)

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 01:33 PM) Then neither is Peavy. Because I would take his potential, growing stamina/endurance and multiple out pitch arsenal over Jake Peavy any day of the week, if it was finding a starting pitcher to build the rotation around (after Sale) in 2015/16. Put Quintana and Santiago in the NL West or NL Central and they'd nearly be Cy Young candidates. Uh, you are aware that the NL Central is arguably the strongest division currently, and that the AL Central is arguably the weakest, right?

Jim Parque?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 11:39 AM) I figure doing what can be done to ease the tension is the best thing to do right now. We might find out in the next hour that Peavy has been traded, or we could go another 27 and a half hours and find out that he wasn't traded at all. Beating yourself up over it is just a waste of time at this point You're right, and I'm definitely stressing out a bit.

Passan suggesting Norris to the Pirates, and that Glasnow might be in play. It would be super lame if the Sox could have gotten Glasnow if they'd have chipped in money.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 11:29 AM) Well that's because he's overhyped by the media, don't listen to that drivel. He has Shane Spencer or Gypford Gomfrey written all over him. I am interested in Marvin though. I know the Sox don't have a huge need for pitching, but he's got a freakin laser. The fact that we could probably continue this for at least 4 more exchanges and no one would complain says a lot about how little information exists in this thread
