QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:11 PM) I'm fine with the Peavy trade, but a few weeks ago, we were all excited to have the best starter, reliever and outfielder on the market. Only ending up with Garcia, 3 lower level guys and future considerations is not what any of us had in mind. No but the returns were also pretty unrealistic that we were thinking of

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:09 PM) You know damn well he's going to go on a tear now. Probably have another 6 hit game tonight. Fine with me...he's playing for us so no harm done

Glad its over now so Rios can get this off his mind and continue to work

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:04 PM) This is silly. We either need several new bats or several players to really increase production, but our pitching WAR this year is third in baseball. The rotation is really good and it looks like we now have more MLB-ready starters than we have rotation spots. No reason to tear down entirely when the team is this good. I'm sure we're trying to be ready for a playoff charge in 2015 Great post Jake...It almost sounds like nobody has been listening to Rick Hahn or refusing to believe him. Pretty clear he likes this rotation and wants to compete ASAP.

and the Texas Rangers once again completely failed in adding a bat

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 02:51 PM) I don't think it would be dumb at all. If some team wants to take on his 12.5 mil, the Sox can lose games with or without him. Without getting talent back to save money for a good player. Yeah that doesnt sound smart at all and probably wont happen for that reason.

Doug Padilla ‏@ESPNChiSox 25s A hour left until the deadline. Moving Rios would free up another $18 million. The White Sox have established they won't eat salary. https://twitter.com/ESPNChiSox

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 02:03 PM) It will shock me if Rangers don't do anything. Apparently Schierholtz isnt going anywhere

I'm good with keeping Rios

Rick Hahn when asked if Garcia was joining immediately sounded like he was going to say if someone was traded he would have. But kind of steered off and said all the positions are filled up.

QUOTE (whitesox901 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 11:24 PM) In theory: with the money they saved with the Peavy deal, the Sox can now eat money in a Rios, and Ramirez, trade right? yes and Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 2m Rick Hahn said has had conversations w/ other teams but no urgency to make more deals unless they make sense. Still think Rios goes. https://twitter.com/DanHayesCSN

Nick Cafardo ‏@nickcafardo 6s Asked D-Backs GM Kevin Towers if he came close on Jake Peavy, "Guess not." https://twitter.com/nickcafardo Screw you Towers

I love how all the baseball guys are talking about how this is great for Detroit....look what they gave up!

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:22 PM) Yeah, Passan has basically confirmed it too, happening this week. Cruz and Peralta are for sure gone

Gordon Edes ‏@GordonEdes 1m Iglesias to Tigers, 2 or 3 lesser prospects to White Sox, Det OF Avisal Garcia to White Sox, pitcher from Det also coming to Boston https://twitter.com/GordonEdes

It isnt the entire deal people according to Edes.....its going to be ok

This sounds complicated

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:46 PM) Well, s*** just got real! Good to see you happy once in a while

I pooped in my pants

Keep posting the its happening gif

Where's the Ron Paul its happening gif at?

Hey and Alex Rios say's he's ok...good news all around

QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:27 PM) Not sure how reliable this guy is: Jason A. Churchill ‏@ProspectInsider 2m Sure sounds like there's a good chance Jake Peavy will land in Boston for Bradley, Jr., Iglesias and Ranaudo, or something of the sort... Talked to him before...normally pretty trustworthy

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:25 PM) Easy to give out false information though until deal is finalized. With that said, I don't think for a second he'll be involved. Yep
