July 30, 201114 yr QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 12:13 PM) Shedding Rios' salary is not areason to trade Thornton for someone we probably can't use. I think Rios can be dealt by himself. Anything is possible. I was told sometime earlier no one would take Teahan either If someone was willing to take Rios' or Dunn's entire contract, the deal would be done. KW wouldn't waste his time negotiating and giving the other club or clubs any time to change their minds.

July 30, 201114 yr Probably arguing over who wants to pay the 42 mil still owed to Rios in his contract.
July 30, 201114 yr QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 08:12 PM) Rios is not going anywhere. Except the bench!
July 30, 201114 yr I don't really care who you have to package Rios with . . . Just get him out of here. Start the rebuild, I'd rather go to the games/watch the games with young players losing rather than seeing veterans not trying/losing.
July 30, 201114 yr My sources tell me that several teams are interested in Alex Rios right now and are willing to send the Sox two lesser prospects with the Sox absorbing 110 % of Rios' contract.

I love this guy. I still can't believe he predicted the Adam Dunn suckfest.

July 30, 201114 yr QUOTE (MAX @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 05:17 AM) I still don't think its smart to write off adam dunn. If he hit 25 homers the rest of the season we'd probably win it all. But it seems like the best we can hope for him is an occasional single off the wall.

But he also said Hudson would be nothing because he had a rough start, there is no "overpay" when prospects are involved, and E-Jax was an outstanding pickup. Also, he believes Ozzie is an amazing manager. So, what Balta said.

Ok that makes alot of sense. We are so desperate to give a player away we will PAY YOU
July 30, 201114 yr QUOTE (MAX @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 04:17 AM) I still don't think its smart to write off adam dunn. I think he is primed to break out of it so I agree
July 30, 201114 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 11:28 AM) Hairston to the Brewers. Damn...there goes the make-believe Rios deal. Alex Rios is a poor man's Carlos Gomez and makes about $10.5 million more a season. Edited July 30, 201114 yr by Dick Allen
July 30, 201114 yr Did anyone hear that the Astros also sent $1 million to the Phillies as part of that Pence deal? Weird.

July 30, 201114 yr http://www.brotherlyglove.com/2011/05/31/t...the-luxury-tax/ $178 million, would be amazing to have that kind of a payroll.
