July 25, 200817 yr QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 08:29 AM) Always sounded like a Boston piece with no real truth behind it, Boston backed off the deal?????? Come on, nice media spin. It was reported the KW was willing to split the difference between Uribe's salary and Cora's. Now it's said that Boston backed off the deal. There had to be more to the deal than just Cora coming the Sox way, because otherwise it doesn't make any damn sense whatsoever.
July 25, 200817 yr Uribe-Cora Trade Not Happening By Tim Dierkes [July 24 at 8:48pm CST] 8:48pm: Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe says the Red Sox backed away from a potential Uribe deal, opting to stick with Cora as Jed Lowrie's backup. Like said above...funny how its Boston who backed away considering they were getting the better player in the deal. Edited July 25, 200817 yr by EvilJester99
July 25, 200817 yr The Sox were asking for a very valuable piece and the Red Sox were apparently considering it. There's no other way around it. Like I have said a few times, KW's not an idiot and he understands that Uribe's a valuable player. He's not just going to give him away. There's a method to his madness. Let's hope that this small move, however, doesn't end plan A, plan B, all the way down the line to plan Z.
