Are you still looking for 160 mil over 8 years in the offseason?

That's what Boras says he'll get me ;)

OK. DaVanon is a 35 year old journeyman outfielder, so he has no trade value. Lucy's knee is wrecked and he's a catcher whose main value is in his defense, so, nothing there either. Jose Martinez may have some value as a low level prospect, though.

Its also a scenario where they could be making Cincy choose from a pool of lower level guys, and they are so low level that Cincy hasnt really scouted them yet.

They're talking about the Chicago Fire on the Score, what the f***!?

 

And they're talking about Greenburg's hair color on ESPN.

It could be a Foxsports radio station, because it was one of their guys who broke the story.

 

Also at least in my eyes, it makes the most sense.

 

And a Chicago station would pick that up in a heartbeat.

Everybody is looking for that... now getting it is a different story.

how many years left on Griffey's contract?

This is the last one, with an option for 09.

And I am starting to feel a Konerko to the DL thing happening. Griffey is DH insurance.

...and when Konerko returns from the DL?

 

May as well tell him to go home for the season if we're not having any corresponding moves.

The only thing that makes sense is there will be another deal either involving Dye, Swisher, Konerko or Thome. If there is not, I really don't understand this at all.

Not to switch topics but ESPN also reporting the Bears might get Favre...just what I saw on ESPN. What a day if the Sox and Bears get MVP type players from the mid-90s on their last legs (arms).

yeah i heard on the score that theres a possibility that if the packers are backed into a corner, they might end up having to deal him to a divisional rival...IMO thats just posturing to try to get some AFC team to pay up for him

What the hell is taking so long for everything to come out? Jesus Christ it's annoying. Doesn't the score have people that can atleast contact White Sox management and find out a thing or two about the prospects or what the hell is going on with the logjam of slow in our lineup.

Levine just said no body significant will be going back, as far as he knows. Hopefully, he is right.

score says either weathers or affeldt part of the deal.....

The last thing the team wants to do is announce one of their players may be traded. Makes the player feel unloved. So it will be quiet unless someone leaks something or the deal is done. Isn;t the deadline today for unrestricted trades?

DaVanon = I was joking

Nobody significant on the current team? Or nobody significant in the organization?

A deal makes A HELL of a lot more sense in that context.

Heard on the Score its Griffey and some guy named Ben Weathers (sp?) coming to the sox for nothing significant

damn right it does, affeldt has 55 K's in 53.1 IP but his whip is approaching 1.5..... with a 4.05 ERA, hmm.

Until Griffey approves the trade none of the other pieces will be announced.

 

I personally think Griffey is a bench insurance guy and the guy the Sox are looking to get is Bronson Arroyo for the pen and swing starter. I think he has a contract that is overprcied.

 

Harang is injured isn't he?

 

Griffey also could take Wise's spot.

 

What I found interesting last night was in the top of the 8th Hawk was saying that he thought Wise would be an integral part to this team the remainder ofhte season.

 

I think Konerko is going on the DL until 9/1.
