Marty34 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:26 PM) Better Matty than a young arm, I suppose. Neutral move for the future, risky move for the present. Can't deny I'm happy to see the end of Thornton n a White Sox uniform replacement be damned. #mentalmidget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noonskadoodle Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 From that same Twitter account #RedSox Kevin Youkilis on the trade: "I knew my time in Boston was over; that I wasn't part of the future here anymore." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 No way it's legit if no one else is reporting it and they're getting quotes from Youkilis already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but I feel like he offers the team something, even if we had to use him in lower-leverage situations. I am just really afraid Youk will offer us absolutely nothing.

Noonskadoodle Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Yea the new Twitter name just randomly popping up makes it skeptical, but with the Pirates backing out its prolly just a matter of time till a deal is reached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiderman Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 How do the White Sox make a trade for Youkilis if they can't take on cash (in other words, buy him from Boston) and don't have much to offer in terms of minor league talent if they can't just take on the contract? Don't the White Sox have to trade money for money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
