Let's make it a bigger deal

Boston Strong

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

 

This guy is legit

I think he's been saying that since last night though...I could be confusing them though because there are so many similar handles.

I wonder about Henry Owens as a throw-in.

Former top prospect turned epic failure.

 

His control is terrible, but that'd be a great piece for the Sox to look into acquiring.

That is definitely who the fans want to give us.

He said last night that we are working on a deal, just now he said we're close

Joe Kelly just went on the DL. The Sawks may need a reliever. Hahn has several in that aisle.

As the final piece in the deal he'd be very intriguing. Maybe there's a ~10% chance he becomes Matt Thornton.

Just made a big trade with Texas

Could be what the hold up is, a bigger deal to add a reliever.

This thread got linked on the talksox(red sox) forum lol...seems like they expect an overpay

I don't know what I hate worse:

 

Absolute silence like we heard with the Q deal, or 500 Bostonians tweeting the same f***ing thing every two minutes.

Why are you even discussing the panda thing? There is zero percent chance that that will happen.

Yeah, especially considering Boston has no reason to sell a top prospect and the White Sox just shelled out $50 million for one. That was surprising enough. Thinking they would shell out another $50 million? They rarely do that for major leaguers with terrific track records.

That's too bad. Hope they can still work something out. Mid-game Hugwatch would be cool.

I doubt they actually gave anyone a physical. If it is true they probably had their medical guys look at his records and they saw something they didn't like. Still, it doesn't appear to be top prospects, so you think a substitute shouldn't be too hard to find.

I was just going to ask that question.

 

Do they actually go out and give these guys physicals?

I read with the Preller fiasco each team has a medical database and they open it up for teams when they are dealing. Maybe in the offseason guys go and get them, but with hug watches and the like, most of the time, they have the other teams info. Preller kept a database that didn't include certain damning things.

Based on the Padres scandal last year, a lot of it has to do with reviewing the treatment history players received

Yes. That's why Jake Arrieta doesn't play for the White Sox.

This was for Jesse?

OT but A-Rod just said on FS1 that he thinks Dombrowski may trade for Miguel Cabrera

Geeze

That's like accounting records:

One set for the investors, one for the IRS, and then the real set.

LOL OK A-Rod.

LOL OK A-Rod.

It's a fun story but no way realistic. He's owed $200 million the next 6 1/2 years, when they will be over the luxury tax each season, and that is for an aging Miguel. Maybe he could be like Big Papi and still be great as he hits 40, but it seems injuries are starting to take their toll. Plus he would drain them of all their remaining minor league trade chips. It would cost a furtune in prospects and money.

Not sure it would cost much in prospects...

I think is 100% on other than the fact that it would cost a fortune in prospects. Miggy is hitting nearly a mirror image of Mitch Moreland this year too.

 

I'm really not sure that is a fact
