Heyman says Dodgers asked for Viciedo, LOL.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 08:26 AM) That's where it all comes down to how desperate are the McCourts to get out of that $15 million, how much can KW offer, how much of it will be deferred and how much in "present dollars" (would the Sox give up) and would there be any prospects going to the Dodgers. They have to give the Dodgers SOMETHING, it can't just be a monetary transaction. PTBNL. Honestly it would be a salary dump.

Rosenthal says the Sox are going to make one more run at Manny today.

Morosi tweets that we asked about Manny.. and were rejected.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 06:18 AM) You certainly cannot believe Greg Walker gets a pass and the pressure is on Cooper. That really is beyond a reach. Supposedly KW said they noticed a flaw with Jackson. Maybe its just talk, but he was pretty good in the AL in 2008 and 2009 and can bring it up there at 97. Who knows, maybe if Peavy is healthy and Freddy comes back next year, Jackson is a closer. Cooper did say that he thinks he sees an easily fixed glitch in Jackson's mechanics..

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 06:20 PM) Threets with vintage Randy Williams outing. Ozzie pulled him before he gave up runs though. Maybe he learned from Randy?

QUOTE (TomPickle @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 06:15 PM) Quentin pulled from the game. Is a deal in the works? You'll feel like an ass when you jinx us into Q! for Dunn.

Lillibridge sighting.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 06:11 PM) Definitely early... good bye Dayan, hello ????? ? Not that I think anything is happening, but if the Sox were to really acquire Dunn without trading Jackson, Viciedo would HAVE to go. Just some food for thought.

This guy pitched in the rising stars game a couple years back and hit 103 or something.

Rios seems to be striking out a lot more lately, what's up with that?

QUOTE (wsgdf_2 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 06:04 PM) Buster_ESPN Heard this: With two trades in the books today, the Yankees are working on another -- presumably somebody who can play 3B. #trades They're getting good players for nothing. No one spectacular, but they're really refining their team with solid players eveywhere.

QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:53 PM) QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 08:51 PM) But where will Kotsay play? In Washington I'll bet that is what is holding up Dunn negotiations. The Nats desperately covet Kotsay's veteran leadership, but Ozzie and Kenny are giving them a big F U.

QUOTE (TomPickle @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:49 PM) Maybe Ozzie will actually let Viciedo DH against the lefties this weekend. But where will Kotsay play?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 06:39 PM) I think it's more likely Frasor and Gregg are dealt, and the Giants might be able to get Bautista. Yeah, but he would be a good buy-low type of guy. Dunno if the Blue Jays would sell him right now though.

Rosenthal tweets that the Blue Jays may make multiple trades, maybe Fathom is right and we'll see Lind.

QUOTE (RME JICO @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 06:35 PM) Harrell's WHIP and ERA both at 1.80. Win.

QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 06:33 PM) Adam Dunn removed from the Nets games...uhmmm Top of the 8th inning in a 7-1 game for a defensive replacement.

Lance Berkman is a douche. Rename the thread plz.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 02:49 PM) Here is what fangraphs says: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/t...os-perspective/ Interesting that they believe Jackson will be worth $10mil on the open market. Big fastball = Big $ QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 02:49 PM) Ken_Rosenthal deal of their liking. #Rays can't be sure Dunn will succeed as DH after failed expriment w Burrell. #Nationals might be stuck. #Yankees #MLB 4 minutes ago Ken_Rosenthal Berkman to #Yankees could put #Nationals in bind with Dunn. Nats lose big potential suitor. #WhiteSox can hold out for (MORE) #Rays #MLB Maybe that means we keep Jackson after all.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 02:43 PM) How does fangraphs rank all of Jackson's pitches? I know scouts were raving about his slider to start last season. -5.7 on the fastball this year, +3.2 on the slider, -3.1 on the curve, exactly league average on change up. last year was: -8.9 FB +17.7 slider +2.9 CB -2.9 change

Cowley just tweeted.

Nothing else will probably happen today, or until the hours before the deadline tomorrow. Rizzo wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't use all of his allotted time to try and get the best possible deal for Dunn.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 12:17 PM) And about 30 minutes ago another reporter said that if anyone lands Dunn it's the White Sox. I honestly don't listen to a word out of Gammons' mouth.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 11:55 AM) Jordan4life, why are you pissed? It's not like Kenny ever makes any bad trades right? Just be like the other half of this board and have blind faith in KW for no reason! And assume that the whole deal is done, because multiple sports writers aren't tweeting off their asses about Jackson being shopped again! I mean, also, it's not like Huddy wasn't projected as a #4 starter by EVERY guy that has written about him this season, right?
