July 31, 200718 yr Chicago White Sox: The asking price proved too high for outfielder Jermaine Dye, leaving the White Sox empty-handed. Though they still could move Jose Contreras, who likely will pass through waivers, Chicago had a chance to reap good value from either Jon Garland (for Edgar Renteria) or Javier Vazquez and chose not to. i think they should trade jose while there are still some teams who believe he could help them in their playoff run. think kw will do something productive after doing nothing to improve the team at the deadline?
July 31, 200718 yr thing is the people that usually pass through waivers are the people NO ONE wants. and NO ONE wants him because of his huge contract (relative to his performance) and we NEVER (ever?) give money to other teams.
July 31, 200718 yr Sometimes the best trades are the ones you don't make Dye I am happy is still here and Jose has the opportunity now to show us he still has some gas left in the tank.

The idea would be that someone claims him (which they won't), the Sox either let him go or pull him back and work out a trade. Unless Jose puts together 2 VERY strong outings, I can't see him going anywhere until the off-season...and then he'll be gone.

July 31, 200718 yr QUOTE(AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 03:31 PM) I now think there is a good chance that Dye gets re-signed. Yep, but I'd rather they let him go and take the picks, rather than give a 34-year-old a three-year deal.
July 31, 200718 yr That ZERO you see is the chances of anyone outside of the California penal league taking a chance at Jose...he is now officially a stiff.
July 31, 200718 yr Holy Moly, Jose has completely lost it. He'll get moved to the 'pen later this year. Hopefully we can entice somebody to take a chance on him for half-price sometime this winter.
August 1, 200718 yr QUOTE(shadowspy1 @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 07:32 PM) I'd be willing to pay a chunk of his salary to ship him out. You should contact the sox then and give them your credit card number

August 1, 200718 yr The only way we deal Contreras is if we take on another bad contract in exchange, or we trade him for nothing and pick up a hunck of his contract.
August 1, 200718 yr You should contact the sox then and give them your credit card number I guess I phrased it wrong. If I was management I would.

August 1, 200718 yr And it wouldn't surprise me at all if the Sox were to place Jose on waivers, just to see if anybody bites. In fact, they'd better. I forget the rules, but I believe there is a window afterwards to work out a trade if he passes through.

I forget the rules, but I believe there is a window afterwards to work out a trade if he passes through. Just about every player on every team gets put through some sort of waivers. Revocable or Irrevocable...and I'm not sure either...I think you are right about the window.
