July 31, 201015 yr QUOTE (pktmotion @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 01:01 PM) If the Rays are linked to all these guys were trying to trade for. How about facilitating a three team deal that would net us Carlos Pena? The Rays aren't going to make a move that will make their major league roster worse while chasing the Yankees.

How about facilitating a three team deal that would net us Carlos Pena? For the Sox, they prefer a guy who can play another position other than 1B and DH. For Tampa, they want to add to their lineup which includes Pena.

July 31, 201015 yr QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 01:24 PM) Heyman reporting that the Nats asked for Matt Garza for Dunn, lmao. I wonder, if you're the Rays GM, and you're on the phone with a guy, and he makes a demand like that in a trade, how hard is it to respond respectfully, rather than bursting into laughter?

My guess is it is very much like boys being boys, at least once they get to know each other. I'd be willing to bet that Rizzo has heard the phrase "get the f*** out of here" quite a bit over the past few weeks...

Agree, the whole point that teams in contention make trades is to strengthen their team (at the expense of their minor league system in most cases), not create another significant hole.

I wouldn't hold back. I'd laugh and hope they realize not to propose something as stupid as that to me again or to any other team for that matter.
July 31, 201015 yr No way we get Dunn IMO. Can't imagine Rizzo wanting to deal with KW after Kenny publicly talked s*** about Rizzo yesterday.

July 31, 201015 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 12:47 PM) He did? Just hearing some snippets from the press conference yesterday and interviews over the past 24 hours indicated that.

July 31, 201015 yr Also there is more than one new GM. QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 01:05 PM) But not by name.

July 31, 201015 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 01:15 PM) I think it was obvious who he was referring to. Still, that's a big difference if you're gonna talk about a guy refusing to deal because of it.
July 31, 201015 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 01:46 PM) He publicly questioned Rizzo and his tactics. There was no need to air that in my opinion. I think he did the entirety of MLB, and maybe Rizzo himself, a favor by doing that. Rizzo is clearly behaving irrationally, and somewhat deceptively. He probably needs to know he can't do that and succeed as a GM.
July 31, 201015 yr Heard this: The Nationals are still talking trade with several teams on Dunn, as we get closer to the deadline. - Olney
July 31, 201015 yr QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 01:21 PM) me - tiiiired. sleeeep = good. white sox baseball = better Me too. I partied until 4 AM last night, didn't get to bed until after 5, and then had a meeting at 10 this morning at work. I'm quite sleepy.
