November 13, 200817 yr http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3700869 Don't like the sound of this.
November 13, 200817 yr B & B are saying Swisher to NYY for a package, only name mentioned is a minor league pitcher named Marquez... Hope Sox didn't sell low on a 28 year old with a decent career

November 13, 200817 yr Great, so we traded 3 of our top prospects for one year of terrible baseball and nothing in terms of prospects. This also means Konerko is going nowhere. Edited November 13, 200817 yr by fathom
November 13, 200817 yr WTF? There better be someone else included... I can't believe this is it, KW is smarter than this.

November 13, 200817 yr QUOTE (dww879 @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 02:39 PM) Konerko, Thome or Dye all should have been traded instead of Swisher I have a feeling that's going to happen
November 13, 200817 yr Author This has Kenny written all over it... got a former 1st rounder who's stock has dropped, and Marquez is a sinkerballer too...
November 13, 200817 yr There has to be something else although Swisher was god awful and still has $24 million left on his "reasonable" contract. If this "prospect" is all they got back, the Swisher trade of last winter probably will go down as KW's worst so far.
November 13, 200817 yr IF this is true i am absolutley furious. There are no excuses for this Kenny. None.
November 13, 200817 yr Author There must be more moves in the works. You don't just give away a guy like Swisher without other stuff in the works.
