July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 12:50 PM) Actually no, I'm pretty sure it was posted here that his insurance doesn't kick in unless he is out starting next season. You've answered your own question.
July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 12:50 PM) Insurance is paying Peavy's remaining salary this season. We have money to spend. Where did you hear this? I must have missed it.
July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 12:52 PM) You've answered your own question. What are you talking about? The Sox get NO MONEY THIS SEASON. If he fails to start next year, then the START paying.
July 30, 201015 yr Just got an email from WhiteSox.com announcing trade. They don't do that for people they intend to flip, right?

July 30, 201015 yr We're not flipping Jackson, unless there's another pitcher in the pipeline (Myers?)
July 30, 201015 yr To answer whoever was asking earlier, Cowley said the 'world shocker' doesn't mean Jackson to Sox is off. My understanding is Dunn will be acquired using Jackson + throw in, while Kenny is working on a SP that could be had for Flowers/Morel/prospect/prospect.

July 30, 201015 yr It's no coincidence that Jackson was in a three way proposal involving Washington and the Sox earlier.
July 30, 201015 yr Even the official release on the main website says Jackson could be flipped for Dunn. Gentleman this day is long from over. Edited July 30, 201015 yr by justBLAZE
July 30, 201015 yr Has anyone ever thought that MAYBE JUST MAYBE the White Sox are getting some money back for Peavy already this season, they just don't want anyone to know about it? It would be to their advantage to keep that kind of thing quiet. Why would JR hold back in signing Damon just to turn around and spend quite a bit on 2 months of Jackson if they weren't in a decent financial position? And you'd have to think SOME money would be coming back from the DBacks if we're giving them 2 prospects.

July 30, 201015 yr The Sox are not getting money back for Peavy's insurance or from last year's trade!!

July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:04 PM) I think he got Jackson because Washington wanted Jackson and not Hudson. if that is true then washington is stupid

July 30, 201015 yr But I believe the Score reported the Dbacks said there is definitely NOT a trade involving Jackson for Dunn???
July 30, 201015 yr I don't see Kenny flipping Jackson for another bat. That'd create a massive hole in the #5 spot and the Sox would still be relying on a junkball-throwing reclamation project as their #4. I appreciate what Freddy's done for us this year, but I'm not banking on him to continue putting up the numbers that he has.
July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (IceCreamPants @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 02:06 PM) But I believe the Score reported the Dbacks said there is definitely NOT a trade involving Jackson for Dunn??? Actually, the Nats said that.
July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:04 PM) I think he got Jackson because Washington wanted Jackson and not Hudson. Here is what I don't get. If this were really the case... why take the risk of swinging independent trades? Why not do a three party deal all at once?
July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (IceCreamPants @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 06:06 PM) But I believe the Score reported the Dbacks said there is definitely NOT a trade involving Jackson for Dunn??? I would give the entire farm system for Dunn if we don't have to include Jackson. I think most would.
