Just announced - Carrasco starting tonight.

He is still a b**** and a p****, but hes our b**** now.

What happened to all the posters ripping Peavy calling him a "b***h" and "p***y" for not wanting to come to the AL earlier in the season? Change of thought because he approved this one?

 

Right here. J4L hides from nobody. I'm glad that I was wrong.

Bob Nightengale - Trying to find out how much Padres are eating (of the salary)...There is no guarantee Peavy will pitch again this year.

Personally, I think this deal hinges on Dex.

 

Agreed. I really like the cat. If he develops that change-up, he can shoot up like Hudson did next year.

This is an overpay simply because it appears this package is better for the Pads than the original package. The first one was Richard, Poreda and Broadway. Carter and Russell easily have more value than Broadway.

 

 

Peavy is out for at least 5 weeks. KW overpaid.

Umm, no. Hudson was involved in the 1st trade.

Who will be long relief since he's obviously not stretched out?

Just got home and flipped it on comcast, then ESPN.....got nothing. Why didn't I check Soxtalk first???? I'm an idiot. This is awesome news. GJ KW

So.....

I wonder if THIS give any incentive for BurlyMon to stick around a couple more years after his contract expires...

 

What a thought...

 

WSCR is talking about Padres eating some salary. Really hard to say that it is an overpay till everything shakes out.

Cant believe Toronto wouldnt take 4 pitchers, 2 leftys , for Halladay-but now they are out of the league

 

KW just bought low on an ace. I can never be angry at him again.

I will own up to it...I was pissed. BUt now...happy (as long as he comes back healthy).

Peavy is a b**** for rejecting it in the first place.

 

I'm pretty sure he doesn't get hurt if he accepts the deal in May. Because he hurt it running the damn bases.

Just announced - Carrasco starting tonight.

Those outfield fans better be prepared for some incoming bombs.

 

It'll just be hilarious if, by the time Peavy is ready to pitch, we're 6+ out of first place and would have just been better with Richard; and then after the season worry about Peavy.

Hudson was in the 1st deal too. Not an overpay.

I guarantee that when the deal was rejected, when everyone was saying positive things about the other side, that it was agreed upon that if an NL club didn't offer by 2:59 they'd resubmit the same paperwork and Peavy would waive the clause.

What about that opt out bulls*** that he wanted in the original deal?

the full effect will be felt in ST next year when the Sox roll out Peavy, MB, Danks and Floyd as the first 4 in their rotation

 

 

Yes, BUT WHO WILL BE THE 5TH STARTER?

 

Insert obligatory Danny Wright comment here...

Wow. If we get cash, I am ecstatic.

It'll just be hilarious if, by the time Peavy is ready to pitch, we're 6+ out of first place and would have just been better with Richard; and then after the season working towards Peavy.

you can never predict what's going to happen in the future. What if the Cubs straighten out the ownership deal? What if another team or two get in it and the Sox couldn't get him.

 

This move isn't about this year and IMO wasn't really about this year in May. It's about having MB, Danks, Floyd and Peavy under control for the next 2 years

No idea. Our package isnt good enough to land Halladay since he's better than Peavy, but put a decent spect in there and its a pretty good haul. Not great, but good for an arm that you are going to lose anyway.

I like the deal but I have a couple questions. Are the padres eating any salary or not? I thought u couldnt trade a player on the DL? Also we should make a quick poll just to see who is liking and who is not.

I still don't believe this s***. This ain't quite the Bears getting Cutler, but close. f*** it! Lebron to the Bulls when he becomes a FA!

I think something like that probably went down. Peavy and his agent probably asked the Pads to get him in the NL if they could, if not he'd go to the White Sox. It's why people bargain for a NTC
