Those kind of sites are so un-moderated it is pathetic.

 

 

People were less caring about large blocks of text being excerpted 5+ years ago...and even with that, most pages these days are happy as long as you add in a link so that they get some traffic and they get the Google boost.

 

Maybe back then. Anyway, I know there was no point in going to the site. He took care of that by himself.

If Thome has a no-trade clause, he should deny a trade to the Sox. Absolutley no good reason to come to this team.

sox are not trading for thome

The sad part is that he wasn't even the worst guy on that site. Not even close.

The Sox will pull him back. It is just an attempt to stuff the wires to get the players they would be interested in potentially trading, not claimed. Each team only gets so many claims per day as I understand it.

 

That's what will happen. If the Sox had a sell-high chance on Konerko, I think they should take it. But I'd be shocked if they did.

Thank god

Dugout Sport Show is now reporting on Twitter, that the Indians are working on a deal for Thome

Good I am glad it is not the Sox.

He should stay in Minnesota or let him sign with Philly. Sox? Indians?

 

Give me a f***ing break.

Yanks claimed C.Pena. There goes the PK Idea.

They could be interested in the off-season as a DH.

If they want a 1b/DH this offseason, there's this Pujols character...

Hendry may be gone, but the Cubs are still idiots.

So why is olney saying we might claim Jason kubel?

Sure, at about 10 times the price and about 5 times the years.

That would give the Yankees quite a logjam with Tex, Swisher, Posada, Pena, etc.

 

Guess it doesn't really matter to them financially....Pena would only be $1.7-1.8 million for the rest of the season, something like that.

Kubel is a guy I think the White Sox could use, but finding a spot for him and a contract for him after this year could be tough.

Use how?

 

Do people really think the Sox are still in it?

This season is ova. I'm thinking going forward, but he's a free agent, Viciedo is coming, the Sox are stuck with Dunn and Rios, De Aza probably gets Pierre's spot. Quentin will probably be back. I don't think they would be willing to pay Kubel what some team will pay him.

lol I found this post on a Twins board:

Fire Gardy, get rid of Jill Mauer and Morneau, and keep cuddy, Thome, and Kubel, the only 3 with Balls on the team. THank you, and Goodnight.

So Im looking at rotoworld and it talks about Cleveland for sure putting in a claim on Jim. But the source that they use says that the White Sox may have put in a claim for Thome as well.

hoynsie paul hoynes

#Indians put in a claim on Jim Thome on Wednesday. The White Sox may have as well.

 

from twitter

From what ive read it does appear we put in a claim for Thome. So if the Twins dont intend to release him he is playing in Minnesota or Chicago. Please tell me if I missed something here. But that tweet was only an hour ago. I wasnt checking the news when people were reporting the stuff about Cleveland working out a trade for Thome and Kubel going somewhere else. So if there is a definitive source out there with that information please correct me because as I said I wasnt available at the time this info was released.

Why would we want Thome? Let Cleveland have him. My god, does our front office think we have a chance at winning the division?
