July 13, 200421 yr Found this interesting: 11:30 Floor Talk Hearing the Boston Red Sox have arrangement to trade Nomar to Chicago White Sox, with White Sox to trade prospects to Arizona, who send Randy Johnson to Boston. Deal could be announced as early as tomorrow, as sources at Major League Baseball indicate they don't generally allow significant announcements day of All-Star game. http://briefing.com/gold/indepth/inplayhourly.htm Not sure if you can view the site or not but I will happily post a picture of the article if someone helps my computer illiterate self post a picture. If you can view the site, its a ways down. I guess its a very professional site but it is a stock site which leaves it questionable.
July 13, 200421 yr I think that if we had the prospects to give up for RJ, we would take him, and not Nomar.

July 13, 200421 yr Seriously, if we have the prospects to pry RJ away from Arizona, why wouldn't we keep him? Maybe they had the wrong Chicago team. Nomar adds no value to this team, so I don't think it's a deal that KW would make.
July 13, 200421 yr No way. Where does this leave Jose. Just doesnt make sense. Maybe Crede or Uribe would be involved in another trade, so then Jose would play 2B or 3B, depending on who was traded. However, I doubt this trade is for real and if it is, I'd hate it 'cause I don't want Jose anywhere but SS; he's done pretty damn good there defensively this year...

July 13, 200421 yr $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ is the answer to that Nomar would add $$$$$$$ to the team... It doesn't make any sense for the WS... The report originated on the East Coast. In other words it's BOGUS.
July 13, 200421 yr $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ is the answer to that Money? How does trading away young prospects for an expensive guy who is worse at a position than the guy we have, make any sense? Getting Nomar doesn't add up one bit.
July 13, 200421 yr No way. Where does this leave Jose. Just doesnt make sense. If that terrible trade would ever happen, Jose would likely DH. Moronic to remove your only power LH from the lineup. Back to reality.... 1. Valentin's defense is greater than a healthy Garciaparra. Garciaparra isn't healthy, so there's no comparison to make. 2. As Cheat has indicated, Nomars road avg. suggests he thrives off Bostons Green Monster; as many RH's do. Furthermore, Why would the Sox trade for a SS when holes remain unfilled in the rotation/bullpen? Why would the Sox even factor Boston into this decision? f*** them, go for Johnson and let them rot with Ramon.
July 13, 200421 yr Money? How does trading away young prospects for an expensive guy who is worse at a position than the guy we have, make any sense? Getting Nomar doesn't add up one bit. I agree that this sounds bogus, but adding Nomar for the rest of this year is a hell of a lot cheaper than keeping Johnson for next season. If KW feels he needs to add another piece and can't afford Johnson, maybe he can afford the rest of Nomar's contract for this year
July 13, 200421 yr I hope they meant to say is Nomar to Arizona, RJ to Whitesox, and good Prospects to Boston..
July 13, 200421 yr Crappy east coast bias -- WTF would we want .254 away from Fenway Nomar for. Nomar is recovering from injuries and is no better than Jose, and maybe worse on defense, and is a free agent at the end of the year. He wants to be with his bride on the West Coast. IOn the other hand we have Jose, who is leading SS in homers, is a steady defensive player and wants to be in Chicago and is a spark. Plus KW says he doesn't want to mess with the position players already in place. Trade better not happen and won't in my opinion.
July 13, 200421 yr this is ludacris......makes no sense at all....we would surround kenny's house if this happens....kenny aint an idiot
July 13, 200421 yr this is ludacris......makes no sense at all....we would surround kenny's house if this happens....kenny aint an idiot no this is Ludacris
July 13, 200421 yr i think the sox would send nomah if this really is true to flubblies and kw can rape jim hendry of there farm. just a thought
July 13, 200421 yr :fyou NOMAR I have too words for this trade WHITE FLAG. This would literally kill the team chemistry and make us a team fighting for 4th place.
July 13, 200421 yr :fyou NOMAR I have too words for this trade WHITE FLAG. This would literally kill the team chemistry and make us a team fighting for 4th place. would this be like the opposite of "addition by subtraction"?
July 13, 200421 yr I swear if this trade happens the season would literally be over and I would expect us to go into selling mode. NOMAR MAKES ME WANT TO PUKE. I HAVE ALWAYS HATED HIS OVER RATED EAST COAST A**. I'M SORRY BUT THE VERY THOUGHT OF THIS HAS ME BOILING MAD AGAIN :fyou NOMAR AND ALL YOUR OVERRATED EAST COAST BUDDIES. <--- me if this season ruining thing happens.

Another Soxtalk 'Instant Classic' from this sites baron of pessimistic banter. While I don't support any trade involving Nomar, I'm interested in your reasoning for the Sox beginning "selling mode" if a trade were to happen.
July 13, 200421 yr that proposed trade which got on some financial website, mixed up the Sox and Cubs. It would be the Cubs involved, but supposedly they don't have any prospects in AAA who are ready, most of their hot prospects are in the lower leagues, and Arizona thinks it could contend next season, making that deal unlikely.
