And perhaps Panda is unflippable.

 

But Id take a higher-rated prospect or two in addition to Panda, in exchange for Frazier & taking on some of Panda's contract.

 

It isn't "just" trading for Panda. It's trading for Panda AND prospects.

 

Or, Id be equally happy with Frazier-for-B/C prospects, then waiting for Sandoval to be free to sign for the league minimum, & picking him up @ that point. Either way, Im in favor of adding as many assets as possible.

Trading flip candidates to acquire more flip candidates....sometimes this gets a little much.

 

Sandoval is unflippable. I'm not sure a crane could flip Sandoval.

They would probably just DFA him. With Sandoval it's all about the money.

Set up a pool on the main concourse and have Panda slam a beer and do a belly flop into the pool for every Sox HR. Fun for the whole family.

What do they do for beached whales?

I honestly think their is no way Panda is coming to the Southside. What I do think is happening is how much cash considerations is being sent over with Frazier.

Btw, our starter was changed from Holland to Pelfrey tonight...

 

Probably to push Holland back to sunday due to Q gone. I did find it interesting Kahnle warmed up for the 7th instead of Swarzak last night

I'm gonna go with Sox didn't like the pick em players they were given and deal isn't as close as thought

Why would you make two changes to your rotation when you could just make one?

Especially considering the one would be to Pelfrey.

Exactly.

I would love to see anybody in the Sox system replace Holland, Pelfrey and Shields in the rotation. I might get sick of the replacements as well, but damn, what a waste of space as they say.

Not trying to flame, but can you think of a worse rotation in modern Sox history? Seriously, Holland, Pelfrey and Shields have absolutely no major league value, do they? Do any metrics of any kind suggest value? All three of them can in no way go deep in games. If they were smart they'd pull an Eckersley and ask to be relievers in AAA and see if they can learn that trade to extend their careers.

If any of you are fans of those three I'd love to hear your comments. It's not nice to call people names so I'll just call all three "eminently expendable."

Holland scheduled for tomorrow according to mlbpress

Did they ever announce new rotation after Q left

Yes. Pelfrey tonight, Holland on Sunday. Gonzalez vs Dodgers on Tuesday and Rodon on Wednesday.

Instead of taking on Panda's contract I would rather see the Sox put that money towards paying Giancarlo Stanton.

Wow, that's a f***ing murderer's row if I've ever seen one.

 

Hahn needs to get these relievers moved before they die.

I agree if it means getting Yellich in the deal with minimal prospects included

You're assuming they have a lead?

Hah, touche'.

 

But someone still has to pitch!

Already said this once, but doesn't Rodon 5th seem weird? Hopefully just resting his arm but he's barley pitched this year, has expressed a desire to get into a rhythm, and we're coming out of the all star break.

Still not interested.

I'm sure Minfanoa will be ready (trio of Infante, Minaya and Ynoa)

Still not interested.

Amen!

Source; Red Sox are close to a deal with the White Sox for Todd Frazier.

 

This guy is legit

I wonder about Henry Owens as a throw-in.

Former top prospect turned epic failure.
