December 2, 200421 yr i don't think Hudson is pushing himself on the block. He wants to push the A's to get a deal on the table before the season starts. Like he said, he doesn't want to have all the distractions like Giambi and Tejada went through all season long. Hudson then can "I'll talk about a contract after the season" to all the media instead of fielding 1001 questions during the year. But, Hudson is likely to be dealt as the A's don't seem to want to give him a long term deal.
December 2, 200421 yr ... at the right price. You mean the A's are willing to GIVE him to the Sox for free?
December 2, 200421 yr You mean the A's are willing to GIVE him to the Sox for free? No, but most likely gut the bullpen w/ an asking price that includes Marte.
December 2, 200421 yr Ozzie wasn't all that impressed by Marte last year. Seeing how he is only a setup man [the 'Marte as closer' experiment has been and gone], the sox shouldn't say no to any deal involving him. It doesn't hurt to listen. I'm not saying some deal couldn't be worked out. But for Marte I'd like more than a 1 yr rental
December 2, 200421 yr No, but most likely gut the bullpen w/ an asking price that includes Marte. Hudson would be way more valuable to our team than Marte, I wouldnt mind sending Marte to Oakland in a deal for Hudson..
December 2, 200421 yr Hudson would be the best move KW could make at this point, imo. He'd look great on the South Side of Chicago, the only question is what would the cost be. If its one of the bats fine, but if it starts invovling other pitchers I think thats where you may have to draw the line.
December 2, 200421 yr I think Hudson could go to FLA for Luis Castillo. THat's if you believe the rumors about Flordia being very interested in him.
