The Red Sox, Cardinals, Dodgers, Braves, and Orioles each have a scout in attendance, tweets ESPN's Jayson Stark, while the Reds and Rangers have two apiece. Keep in mind that their presence does not necessarily imply trade interest in Peavy. per mlbtraderumors

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 12:10 PM) Actually, this really isn't all that bad assuming he doesn't have anything that will keep him out the rest of the season. NL teams know he will not be available to them after the deadline because he won't clear so they may give up something useful. And the teams that are on top in the AL may as well knowing that someone below them could claim him, he could be totally healthy and the White Sox would have zero reason not to just let him go as a salary dump for nothing at that point. I see your point. What teams in the NL though? Braves? Dodgers? Dbacks?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 12:01 PM) Why? I think the Sox are going to wind up with a few solid deals going down. They have the best hitter (outfielder), shortstop, starting pitcher, and reliever on the market. They'll get stuff done. No sens in forcing a deal 6 days prior to the deadline when desperate teams could up the ante. Well Crain is off the market now. Would Lindstrom be the best available reliever on the market now? There's Hochever, Gergerson, Thatcher.

If a team that claims Crain just to block another team, just keep him and resign him in the off season. Make sense?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 11:57 AM) That's why he won't be dealt. When he's claimed on waivers, you can make a deal with that team, let him go, or pull him back, and the odds are good the claiming team will not make a deal for him. He'll have to clear waivers, something he won't do. Makes sense. Awesome.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 11:53 AM) I would be surprised if we are able to deal him in August Why wouldn't we be able too? No chance he clears waivers.

I am so discouraged with everything right now.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 11:43 AM) Lindstrom, pack your bags That's what I thought too. Floyd being out for the season, Crain will likely be a waiver deal in August, lots have gone wrong this season. So disappointing.

Crain was discouraged from his throwing today. Crain will be an august deal most likely now.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 11:02 AM) People on Twitter are saying Kenny Williams has been spotted in Altoona, PA. Too bad the Altoona Curve are in the middle of a 10-day road trip. Give me Bell and Kingham if we can't get Hanson or Polonco

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 10:35 AM) It would be fun to have Garin Cecchini, Will Middlebrooks, and Jackie Bradley play for the White Sox I see what you did there....and I like it.

http://fullcount.weei.com/sports/boston/ba...un-to-play-for/ Crain says it would be fun to play for Boston.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 09:47 AM) Chris De Luca ‏@ChrisDeLuca 1h Whether with #WhiteSox or not, Peavy wants to play for contender http://bit.ly/1dXkLk1%0A Interesting.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 08:41 AM) I happened to find this post rather enjoyable. It's funny. No, White Sox writers know exactly what's going on. They're employed by the team and told what to write by the team. This is leveraging on both sides. Thanks for the clarification.

Mlbtraderumors just noted that Rios and Schierholtz are atop the Pirates wishlist

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 11:26 PM) I've never seen SO MUCH misinformation during a Sox deadline. Must be one difference with Hanh compared to KW Yeah this is nuts and I'm not liking it

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 11:04 PM) Oh look... https://twitter.com/alexspeier/status/360248365142908929 White Sox writers need to figure it out then. Jeez.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 10:49 PM) Peavy's not only scheduled to pitch tomorrow but appear at the Wild Pitches charity event after the game. Clearly we're looking at the weekend for any trade. Thornton was supposed to be in the charity event too and now he's in Boston.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 10:45 PM) Polanco would be fantastic, but I'd imagine there would be more than Rios in the deal. Also noted Dickerson. Good. Levine did tweet that Rangers and Pirates have been scouting Rios for 3 weeks. At least Kenny is looking at players we can't complain about.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 10:29 PM) Just got a text from my source to expect huge news in the next hour or so. Said to expect multiple White Sox players moved for an intriguing package that would shock everyone around the league. Oh yeah and I made that all up. Well that will get you to being ignored.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 10:21 PM) I feel like tonight is the night. Why you think so?

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 10:17 PM) Also worth noting, Kennedy being blown up again. This time by the Cubs. Gonna be a 2 way battle between Arizona and Boston in my opinion. Both falling rapidly.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 10:02 PM) I still hope Towers is waiting in the weeds, ready to send over Davidson. And Owings. Boston and Arizona slowly slipping in the standings

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 09:19 PM) I will be supremely disappointed if this is the only major move. I would too. Some of these guys need to be traded.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 09:02 PM) Not the greatest farm. Especially position players. Agreed, we would ask for Betancourt +++ and they would say no.
