QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 10:13 AM) Could be more misinformation, but this article claims the BoSox interest in Peavy isn't what it seems, they are just "kicking the tires". They are more interested in Lindstrom according to this guy. Take it for what it's worth this time of July. Also if anyone could provide a little info on the prospects they mentioned on Boston's side. http://www.mlbdailydish.com/2013/7/28/4564...ires-jake-peavy For Lindstrom, I would take any 2 of those 3 players. Preferrably Betts and Marrero.

QUOTE (mike65 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 09:50 AM) There is something to be said for being polite Lol. But honestly, it would take more than Martinez to get Peavy.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 09:35 AM) The question is how much of a bigger impact can Rios make than what they have already? And is that worth what the Sox are asking for? Not likely. You have a point, but the Rangers have shown they want to win now. And I.believe Rios is better than Murphy and the rookie they have going out there every day.

QUOTE (mike65 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 09:43 AM) I can almost assure you that if it is Carlos Martinez, that will be it The Sox will politely say no then.

QUOTE (beck72 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 07:41 AM) Rios isn't a "difference maker"-few, if any, bats available this deadline are. I agree Rios alone won't win a team a championship. But he can be a better option for some teams than what they currently have. I do agree with this. No way Rangers get Stanton, Edcarncion, or bautista. What other bats are "better" than Rios? Maybe Pence but I don't think so. Rangers are blowing smoke.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 12:41 AM) Would you be happy/satisfied with that deal? I'm not sure. I think we could get another player or 2

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 12:21 AM) I'm tired of waiting too. But a week from now, I'll be going through twitter/mlbtraderumors/etc. withdrawal and will miss trading season. And wonder how Alex Rios is still on the team.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 12:12 AM) Hah, what a cock tease. One interesting part of that is that it says Peavy may not make his scheduled start Tuesday. Well hopefully something happens tomorrow then. And try to get rid of Rios.

Kirkjan was just on Baseball Tonight and he said he thinks Peavy goes and Rios stays because he's not a big enough difference maker to championship ball clubs.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 11:14 PM) They have BMac & Cahill at AAA rehab starts already, they will just wait for them. Thanks, didn't know that

DBacks get spanked by the Padres. Skaggs lit up for 7 earned. Panic mode for them yet?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 11:03 PM) Giants will be sellers, IMO. Pence makes more sense for the Rangers. Just throw him sliders. Can't lay off. That was an ugly at bat in the cubs game

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 10:56 PM) I wonder if they'd rather have someone like Cuddyer. Rockies have said Cuddyer is not available.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 09:53 PM) Well, Peter Gammons did say that we're targeting pitching....as mind boggling as that is I don't know but either way it is going to drive up the price between the O's and Red Sox.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 09:44 PM) Appears that Baltimore's system is very pitching heavy. I'd think Hahn would be pushing for impact position players, so I'm not sure this is a good match unless Baltimore gives up Gausman or Bundy (which they shouldn't). I agree. It's just another team that can drive up the price. This gives Hahn even more leverage now because this might scare the Red Sox to up their offer since a division rival is in on Peavy now.

I like Bundy, even though he's coming off TJ surgery. I too like Schoop, Wright and Hoes.

Orioles going after Peavy now

Either way we trade Rios or try to compete in 14

Jacobs 2 run single. Extends hit streak to 9

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 08:46 PM) BTW, what a dumb decision by Ventura to pull Viciedo in the 7th for a runner. That's what I was thinking too

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 08:45 PM) Do you really think that with the pitching staff we have that the sox are going to rebuild. It goes against everything this team has done for years. That was Kenny. This is all Hahn now.

This is why Rios will be in a White Sox uniform the rest of this season

Here comes a classic Keppinger 6-4-3 DP
