QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 09:05 AM) I noticed also that WWE has legally prevented Del Rio and Punk from participating in UFC. It was kind of ambiguous, but it seemed like neither of them still can participate, I wonder if they signed no compete clauses On a side note, Vince's disdain for UfC is crazy. I can't figure it out Wow yeah I haven't seen Del Rio, what happened to him?

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 08:27 AM) No one's going to want Semien, at least not in any meaningful way. He does not have much value right now. How not?

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 12:35 AM) Keep an eye on this. Tried, but I can't confirm it. Lots of moving parts with OAK, including Samardjiza contract, Reddick, relievers...etc. Could be impact deal. I could definitely see a deal with Samardzija/Reddick for prospects or Samardzija/Cook for prospects heading to the Sox. I think that would make the most sense.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 12:33 AM) The Sox are? Excuse my ignorance here, not sure who is connected with any team sources here. Bucket does have some sources. He provides good information.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 12:29 AM) Rockies? For a position player for pitcher? I wonder if I could nail my Drew Stubbs guess from a month or two ago. Don't think Sox would want another RH bat. If anything, its about CarGo, Dickerson or Blackmon in my opinion.

Huge win for the Illini tonight. Love it.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 12:25 AM) FWIW, you guys are right. A lot going on. The next week or two will be very active. Rick and Beane have been in talks all week. Dodgers cooled off. Still heavy talks with Reds and Rockies as well. Do you believe this tweet from Benson that Sox will acquire Samardzija this weekend? Is the Rick talking to the Rockies about Gonzalez? Thank you by the way. I love your information.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 12:15 AM) The surprising part is the move to sign Butler, then the opposite side of the spectrum by trading Donaldson. It's the equivalent of those Sox fans who want the Sox to trade Alexei after we signed LaRoche. Yeah real odd, but they do get Lawrie back who could be a good piece and cost effective.

@susanslusser: I'm told 10 teams have expressed interest in Samardzija; #RedSox and #WhiteSox among them. Things could be getting pretty serious this weekend.....

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 12:04 AM) Hawkins? That just doesn't seem like the type of player Beane would be interested in. Semien would definitely get his attention though. He's comparably to Cespedes in terms of low average, decent OBP, strikes out. Semien is from SF.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 12:02 AM) http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/11/athl...van-gattis.html Maybe we're getting Justin Upton AND Jeff Samardzija? No way A's can afford Upton and Gattis, even when they shipped out Donaldson....

QUOTE (flavum @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 12:01 AM) I don't think Anderson would be involved for a rent-a-player. I actually don't think Danish would be either. Semien, sure. Maybe a package of Semien or Sanchez, a lower level guy like Michalczewski, and a decent but not great, pitching prospect like Beck. I was actually thinking Semien, Hawkins and Beck.

QUOTE (flavum @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 11:40 PM) https://twitter.com/Pg_Benson/status/538562276597694464 This guy nailed it before with Dunn going to the A's the day before, so take it for what it's worth. If this tweet is true, and that they have a done deal already because thats what he makes it seem like, I wonder if an extension is in place. Of course, if true. Just throwing out hypotheticals.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 11:46 PM) Is the guy who tweeted that legit? https://twitter.com/search?f=realtime&q...ja&src=tyah just gives me Samardzija to the Braves rumors. This guy did tweet about the Dunn trade before anybody.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 08:57 PM) At least now with Melky saying this it doesn't leave Rasmus alone on an island when he spoke of not wanting to return to that kind of surface. Melky Cabrera @TheMelkman53 · 9h 9 hours ago I want everyone to know that I am a baseball player and it doesn't matter to me what surface I play on. I will be the best player I can be.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 08:55 PM) had the Donaldson part right. Wonder who the "others" are. Lawrie's a good ballplayer but he's never put in a full season. 3B Brett Lawrie, RHP Kendall Graveman, LHP Sean Nolin and SS Franklin Barretto for Donaldson is the full deal.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 08:50 PM) Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 8m8 minutes ago Sources: Donaldson going to #BlueJays. Lawrie, RHP Kendall Graveman among those going to #Athletics. Wow. Blue Jays doing work.

They do have Sonny Gray, Jarrod Parker and AJ Griffin, although the latter two coming off TJ. I'd love to buy low on Parker, I think he would be a great addition.

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 3m3 minutes ago the very reliable @susanslusser says the a's are working on something significant, tho. they need SS, 2B, bats. Alexei?

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 7m7 minutes ago One source says #Athletics working on multiple trades. All teams are for most part, but source says, “This is Billy re-working the club.”

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 37s38 seconds ago Sources: Trade #Athletics are discussing does NOT involve Samardzija. And that guy only has 160 followers. Very doubtful he's reliable.

Jane Lee ‏@JaneMLB 21m21 minutes ago AL source says A's are involved in multi-player deal. On verge of trading big piece for three or four players.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 07:57 PM) I'd have to guess that it's Boston. I agree to an extent. Has Boston been linked to him in the past? Samardzija isn't that big of a name, and Boston is a team that wants that recognizable name honestly.

Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 5m5 minutes ago #Athletics on the verge of a significant deal involving Jeff Samardzija, according to @susanslusser. This could be us?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 05:34 PM) Somone needs to run Corey Perry's b**** ass. Agreed. He's such a bum and has a reputation of being a baby and a sore loser when they're getting embarrassed.
