June 23, 201213 yr QUOTE (Sockin @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:22 PM) This could be bull considering it's a new twitter account but FWIW. #RedSox Kevin Youkilis & Cash Considerations traded to #WhiteSox for Matt Thornton & PTBNL. #MLB https://twitter.com/98_5sportshub/status/216610937690537986 Clicking the link, I get that this page doesn't exist. Is this legit?
June 23, 201213 yr QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:25 PM) ...blech. I hope it was ALL the cash. If it was all the cash, that would be a pretty good deal.

June 23, 201213 yr 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

June 23, 201213 yr I feel like it's bull. Someone could have easily linked to the radio station website. Has anyone listened to it?

June 23, 201213 yr if you go to the twitter page from the radio station, it is spelled differently and mentions nothing about youk

June 23, 201213 yr 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."
June 23, 201213 yr QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:35 PM) 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." That twitter account has two tweets and 8 followers. Sounds non-legit.
June 23, 201213 yr QUOTE (rackemup @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:34 PM) if you go to the twitter page from the radio station, it is spelled differently and mentions nothing about youk Good call. Fake.
June 23, 201213 yr No way it's legit if no one else is reporting it and they're getting quotes from Youkilis already.
June 23, 201213 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:34 PM) That plus he is expensive. 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.

June 23, 201213 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:36 PM) 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. It all depends on how much money we get if this is even legit. I have no idea if it is.
June 23, 201213 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:33 PM) https://twitter.com/98_5SportsHub Im listening to the station right now One follower, and one tweet. I am calling BS.

I am just really afraid Youk will offer us absolutely nothing. Not only that, but you would hope to get more back for Thornton if you trade him at the deadline.
June 23, 201213 yr 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.
June 23, 201213 yr 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?
