June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 09:59 AM) His brother still seems to think he's been traded to Chicago, either that or he is enjoying pissing off Redsox nation: Scott Youkilis @chefyouk #whychicagoisbetterthanboston closer drive from Cincinnati 10:36am - 24 Jun 12 Can't blame him for liking Chicago better than Boston. He's probably been here and loves the city , food, restaurants.
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 10:43 AM) Sean McAdam of CSNNE.com hears from a major league source that the Dodgers, White Sox, Indians, Braves, and a fifth team are in on Youkilis. A second source says that the Pirates and Diamondbacks are no longer involved. A source with knowledge of the talks indicated that Boston is focused on getting the best return available, whether its in the form of prospects or current major leaguers. Per MLBTraderumors A Red Sox employee, no doubt.
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 10:50 AM) More from Peter Abraham: The Red Sox are still in the process of trying to trade Kevin Youkilis, several major league sources said. But after being held out of the lineup for three days, he is batting sixth and playing third base today. "It's not directly related to anything other than than trying to win a ballgame and keep him as sharp as possible." Bobby Valentine said. Will Middlebrooks is the DH as David Ortiz gets a day off. The White Sox, Indians and Dodgers remain in the mix for Youkilis with another team — as yet unknown — also involved. In the latest twist, the third baseman's brother has taken to Twitter to criticize Valentine and the city of Boston. "Love that #teamyouk may be changing sox real soon. #Chicago is better town anyways!" wrote Scott Youkilis, a restaurant owner in San Francisco. He also wrote, "Bobby V is a joke." Valentine also owns a restaurant. Maybe the two warring parties can have a cook off. Aaron Cook can be the judge. Appreciate the silliness. Good one. And speaking of desperate, the BoSox seem to be, trotting this should-be-NL-only-pitcher-at this-point -in-his-career out today.
June 24, 201213 yr As much as they try they will have a tough time creating a better market for Youk. Even if he hits 4 homers foday its not going to make much of an impact. They really don't want to trade him to the proper color Sox but it really may be their best and maybe even only option. 2 weeks from now they are looking at a release.
June 24, 201213 yr Youk is hurt off a line drive at third. Looks like he jammed his thumb LOL that is what you get. Well see how serious it is.
June 24, 201213 yr Hit him right where the hand meets the glove, a rocket line drive. Stayed in the game, still looking at his hand after the play though.
June 24, 201213 yr Nick Cafardo @nickcafardo Youk gets standing o from crowd. 1:11pm - 24 Jun 12 May be his last horah in front of the faithful. Seems pretty dumb especailly since Youk was lucky he wasnt hurt worse. That is why you dont play someone who has a chance to be traded.
June 24, 201213 yr Nick Cafardo @nickcafardo Oh great. Youk getting hand checked by trainer after fielding linedrive. Pete Abraham @PeteAbe Youkilis just caught a line drive and is being attended to bya trainer. Worst case scenario for #RedSox
June 24, 201213 yr Pete Abraham @PeteAbe Fenway playing "Call Me Maybe." Clearly secret code for the Youkilis trade. Okay guess we have our ansewer.... They are desperate, lol.
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 03:01 PM) I assume he's okay. Yes he was checked out by the trainer and returned to the game. But when it happened you could clearly see he was in pain.
June 24, 201213 yr Bosox showing his career highlights on scoreboard. Tweets saying deal is nearing and almost complete. No details on the team Edited June 24, 201213 yr by daa84
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (Sockin @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 03:29 PM) Someone on Twitter saying he was traded to the Tigers for Raburn and Young. Lol what?
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (Sockin @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 03:29 PM) Someone on Twitter saying he was traded to the Tigers for Raburn and Young. lol where would they play him?

June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 03:33 PM) lol where would they play him? Yeah that makes absolutely no sense. We were one of the last teams to talk with the Red Sox. Whoever just got him is not yet confirmed.
June 24, 201213 yr @JonHeymanCBS Deal for youkilis is in works. Late talks involved #chisox. But new team is not yet confirmed.
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 03:34 PM) the guy who wrote that is a comedian. no sources. Yeah, you're right. Whoops.
June 24, 201213 yr @Ken_Rosenthal Sources: #Indians “longshot” for Youkilis. #Dodgers minimal contact with #RedSox today. Signs point to #WhiteSox, #Pirates or another club.
