QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 02:21 PM) I read it first as Beckham too but I have had a detached retina procedure so by habit I looked again. Berkmans the switch hitting DH has knee and hip problems . I was hoping the Biogenesis suspensions would be handed out by the All-Star break but no such luck on anyone but Braun because RF Nelson Cruz is a prime candidate and Rangers must take that into consideration also. That's why the Rangers are thinking big right now. Wow yeah it is Berkman. Like other posters have said if the Sox can package Rios and Dunn and eat some money and land a prospect of Profar and some others, I would be ecstatic.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 02:44 PM) I really like Lucas Sims. Also really intrigued by Christian Bethancourt. The Braves are the last team I'd like to see the Sox deal Peavy to though. Yeah other than that, they have nothing going for them.

Any shot we can get Profar in a deal?

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 01:50 PM) The landscape keeps changing. Three things that have happened that have radically shifted Sox deals: 1) Hudson injury 2) Crain injury 3) Berkman injury The Sox FO is different now than in the past. Rick is very, very patient. That is interesting but why does Beckham's injury change things?

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 12:47 PM) I would be ecstatic with Stanton playing at the Cell. I cant even imagine his power numbers there. I'd be so giddy if Stanton was on the White Sox.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 12:48 PM) Brandon Jacobs should be in there somewhere, but isn't. He's #8.

http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/prospects/watch/y20...=mm_mlb_players Only thing I disagree about the list is that Mitchell and Molina are still in the top 20. Also, from just 2 years ago, system looks much better and deeper. I know nothing is for sure, just based on potential, it's at least encouraging. Thoughts?

Braves focused on Jake Peavy and Ervin Santana per Steve Adams on mlbtraderumors. Price is high for both and the Royals have made it clear they want major league ready talent for Santana. I don't know if they'll get that. We'll see what happens.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 12:15 PM) I'd really like Brentz in the deal. Something like Webster, Brentz, Cecchini, and one lesser piece would be a great return in my opinion. I like that too. Like Almanzar as the lesser prospect? That would be a great package.

QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 12:06 PM) webster/owen/ranaudo are all solid prospects, personally i like owen the most even though he is the farthest away. Any of those three along with Cecchini and swihart and I'm ecstatic. That would be a great deal in my opinion. If anything interchangeable I think i would change Swihart for Brentz or Britton. But I'm not picky.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 11:58 AM) I suspect this is a player the Red Sox would very much move. Webster doesn't project as an ace starter, but certainly has the skills and makeup to be a solid middle of the rotation pitcher, and pretty soon. Webster would be part of a package I'd assume. I think a package of Webster, Cecchini, Marrero and Britton would be a good package for Peavy and Lindstrom.

Just read a trade deadline chat from CBSSports that Heyman tweeted. It was mentioned that he could see the Red Sox trading Allen Webster. Wonder if Hahn has asked about him as part of a package.

QUOTE (staxx @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 08:37 AM) jacobs is playing pretty well He has played well. Driving in runs and having good at bats.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 10:40 AM) No, absolutely not. My post that I quoted, which I brought from another thread, fits this thread and your post perfectly. Bucket isn't going to have anything new that's going to blow your mind that he hasn't already said. Here, I can say this: "There is a deal that's close, but I can't go into specifics." And it's the same thing and it's true, and I haven't consulted anyone within any MLB organization. As I mentioned in the other post, this isn't a slight against bucket, and we are appreciative of any information provided by posters, but rather that this is a season of misinformation and we can hear about deals that are close that will never finish and never be reported by the media, and we won't hear anything about deals that will come together and be finalized in about 2 hours. Just relax. I'm relaxed. Got it.

Cutler's first passed of training camp was tipped and picked off by Conte lol

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 10:23 AM) I really don't think this is a big deal. All kinds of teams are going to have all kinds of scouts in all kinds of places this week. If you saw a Royals scout at the Tigers-Sox game yesterday, what do you think that meant? Selling to the Tigers? Buying from the White Sox? Or scouting the Sox for the current 3 game trip? Just saying interesting in regards to Morosi's tweet regarding them as buyers and potentially looking at Peavy. They have some decent pitching and hitting prospects.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 10:20 AM) It's amazing how well this post fits here Sarcasm?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 10:19 AM) So what is to say they weren't scouting the Tigers as sellers? Just figured. And I put that post in the Peavy thread. My bad.

Jon Morosi just tweeted, "Mariners had high level scouts at Peavy Start yesterday and Brewers-Padres all week, the sort of thing a buyer would be expected to do." Now that's interesting.

It's been a few days since Bucket has updated us on what's going on, I wonder if any new information is out there that we don't know about. If anything is close.

Morosi just tweeted that Braves are actively going after Bud Norris. This makes more sense because they wouldn't be able to afford Peavy.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 09:11 PM) Don't you see this is another way for him to rip the Sox. He says they should get a great haul and then after the trade he can say they should have done much better. This is because he KNOWS they could have done better and reported it before the deal. Eh I don't see it like you do.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 09:01 PM) Exactly why Ricky only makes the move if it actually builds for the future. Wait it out and get a haul or keep a top of the rotation pitcher and a middle of the order hitter with reasonable salaries. These are likely 2 of the biggest moves for the SOX foreseeable future. I agree. More to the extent of Peavy though.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 08:59 PM) Heard that as well, was not psyched after hearing that I would figure we would trust Law more because of his knowledge with the prospects? Possibly?

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 08:46 PM) That's why in the prediction thread I said neither would be moved. I think both get traded. Have to in order to build for the future.
