July 30, 201312 yr QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 04:09 PM) Brittany Ghiroli @Britt_Ghiroli 17m Machado is walking off the field after being hit in bp. Going to get examined by trainers. Just so you know "being hit in bp" is an industry term for "traded for Jake Peavy" and "Going to get examined by trainers" is code for "packing up his s*** and getting on a plane." This one looks legit. Ha. i wish

July 30, 201312 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 05:05 PM) Paul Calvisi @PaulCalvisi 27s Paulie Peavy: D-backs source says it's "either/or" now in trade talks. Either Chisox eat more of $14.5M salary or take lesser prospect(s).. https://twitter.com/PaulCalvisi I know when it comes to football and the Cardinals, Calvisi is pretty legit and doesn't go with rumors.
July 30, 201312 yr QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 04:12 PM) Which Machado are they talking about? Manuel Arturo, formerly of the Orioles.
July 30, 201312 yr QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 04:13 PM) Manuel Arturo, formerly of the Orioles. Oh man, the Sox are getting Melvin Mora! He is SOO OLD THOUGH, why dont they get someone younger
July 30, 201312 yr QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 04:14 PM) Oh man, the Sox are getting Melvin Mora! He is SOO OLD THOUGH, why dont they get someone younger Like Brian Roberts
July 30, 201312 yr QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 04:08 PM) Just eat the freakin money.... Easy for me to say haha Easy for us to say but if we are going to get 15M off books and pay 5 to get premium talent I think it's a no-brainer. Especially if we can get rid of Rios too. I know that rebuilding attendance might suck but not that bad.
July 30, 201312 yr QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 04:15 PM) Like Brian Roberts Do the Orioles still have BJ Surhoff? You know the Sox are infatuated with former #1 overall picks

July 30, 201312 yr The Peavy thing has come too far to fall apart now. Not starting him tonight and all that. It'd be embarrassing for Hahn to keep Peavy now. It'd be like he couldn't get a deal done. The tricky part is the money. I bet Jerry has told him exactly how much of the salary of Peavy/Rios he's allowed to pay.
July 30, 201312 yr QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 05:19 PM) Cool video of peavy talking trade... Trade Watch 2013 I was 100% expecting to be rickrolled.
July 30, 201312 yr QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 04:22 PM) Can we please throw in 5 mil and get this best package... An Owings, Davidson package has me all giddy and anxious.
July 30, 201312 yr No its 4.9mil or nothing And this is pretty standard in negotiating. The Sox probably feel they still have leverage and thus are trying to squeeze out every last drop of value.
July 30, 201312 yr QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 05:22 PM) Can we please throw in 5 mil and get this best package... Or the Sox can wait 4 more hours and see if it comes down to $3 mil.
July 30, 201312 yr Tribe aqcuire Mark Rzkshdkezinski or whatever in the heck his name is lol. Not sure why though he has been pretty bad.

July 30, 201312 yr QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 04:22 PM) Can we please throw in 5 mil and get this best package... Kris Bryant got almost 7 mil right? So adding 5 mil should get you a top prospect, all things being equal?

July 30, 201312 yr How much money are the Sox willing to pay on Peavy/Rios? 1/3 of their remaining deals? Anybody know?

July 30, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 03:43 PM) Despite interest from the Red Sox, A's, D'Backs, and Cardinals, the sense is the White Sox are coming down on their asking price for Peavy, tweets Sean McAdam of CSNNE.com. Of course we don't know what the asking price really was. If it was a Garz package, this isn't good. If it was 2 elite prospects, they could be coming down to something both can work with.
