August 22, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 22, 2011 -> 03:32 PM) I doubt Thome even wants to go back there. 1.) The constant boos when he's returned 2.) He will want a chance to win a World Series What would be hilarious is if the Sox claimed him so that Cleveland couldn't. He is only going to cost $600k for the rest of the year.
August 22, 201114 yr Author Buster_ESPN Buster Olney For what it's worth: Indians' organization relationship with Thome is still good, so that would not appear to be an impediment.
August 22, 201114 yr Really impressed the Indians have been fighting to the last moment...claimed Harden on waivers but couldn't work out a deal with Beane. Wonder what happened since the Red Sox deal for him blew up over his assorted health issues?
August 23, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 22, 2011 -> 03:26 PM) f*** Cleveland. They don't deserve him back. How about the White Sox?.....Dunn to DL? If he's going to be put on waivers....it would tell me that he's probably going to retire after the 2011 season. If so, Cleveland would be his most likely last stop w Philly second.

Twins waive Thome; Sox could have interest Take this for what it is worth. I would love to see Jimbo back for a few games, but I hope he goes to a team with a legit chance of winning a title.
August 23, 201114 yr Someone claimed Wandy Rodriguez... With his contract & the Astros need to save money, I wonder if they would just hand him over for free, Alex Rios style
August 23, 201114 yr Author Buster_ESPN Buster Olney Conor Jackson cleared waivers; Red Sox have asked Oakland about him, but doesn't seem like there's any traction to those conversations.

August 23, 201114 yr Author Buster_ESPN Buster Olney Early speculation among rival teams is that WASH is the team that placed claim on Wandy Rodriguez; they need a veteran SP for '12 rotation.

August 23, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 02:46 PM) Rockies have claimed Wandy Wow, that is crazy. That is about the last team I expected.
August 23, 201114 yr Author Buster_ESPN Buster Olney In Rockies' internal discussions, fact that no FA will in COL came up. So they claimed Wandy, hoping he could be rotation stabilizer.
August 23, 201114 yr Author Buster_ESPN Buster Olney Source: no momentum right now for a Wandy trade. Houston not especially motivated to move him. Still time, though, for talks... SI_JonHeyman Jon Heyman #rockies made #astros offer for wandy but requested houston pick up some of the $36 mil on w-rod
August 23, 201114 yr Who knew that when we started shortening everyone named Rodriguez's name to a letter followed by "Rod", we were paving the way for Twitter?
