July 29, 201312 yr QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 08:09 AM) The interesting thing to me is why they'd need a third team. I suppose another veteran is involved. It could be we take the vet and the third team the conditional prospects. That makes 0 sense
July 29, 201312 yr QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 11:10 AM) I think Pittsburgh is the mystery team, hopefully with Rios or De Aza going too. It's cash and mota of course. We think a like

It could be we take the vet and the third team the conditional prospects. im still thinking the Crain piece is tied to a large piece such as Rios or Peavy with the 3rd team. only specifics that are known are Crain to the Rays though. we shall see.. at least i wont have to work for the next couple hours
July 29, 201312 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 11:08 AM) It is all cash. It is a baseball tradition to drop some money on the clubhouse guys at the end of the year. Cool. Any idea how many clubhouse guys we have?

July 29, 201312 yr QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 10:59 AM) But no mention of mystery team...telling? What is the Rays bullpen situation?? With Rodney and Peralta as righties out of the pen Crain doesn't make much sense....Alex Torres is also putting up better numbers than Rodney did in 2012, a 0.29 era. That's 1 run 31 innings. Maybe Crain goes to the mystery team.

July 29, 201312 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 11:18 AM) I wanna know who this 3rd team is. Ugh really hoping 3rd team is the Pirates or Cards
July 29, 201312 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 11:11 AM) We think a like Lol, for sure. I hope Rick does too, if there is only one guy we move I truly hope it's Rios, he's just not mentally tough enough to cut it. Guy is gifted as hell and is just too soft, saw it in Toronto and got glimpses of it here. He takes plays/days off. Unacceptable and if we are starting fresh we need guys who will buy in and not ditract from what we are doing.

Sounds right, would be a sick job. I would kill to do that. Hell you don't even have to pay me just tip me out at the end of the year!

July 29, 201312 yr Good point. So that would mean Crain to Team X Player Q from Team X to the Rays Prospects from Rays to Sox What do the Rays need? The Rays need Crain to go to an NL team instead of the Red Sox, Yankees, Tigers, or A's.

Hell you don't even have to pay me just tip me out at the end of the year! The clubbies do all kinds of odd jobs...gas up the car, get me a sandwich from down the street, make sure the right brand of gum is in the locker, polish up the shoes, etc. It's not the easiest job in the world, but the players tip well (for the most part) from whati've read over the years.
July 29, 201312 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 12:21 PM) I don't think they need bullpen help. The strongest bullpen in baseball just added Scott Downs a few minutes ago.

July 29, 201312 yr Jeff Passan @JeffPassan 46s Sources: Deal for Jesse Crain to Rays not close to done. Talks for now. Good news for White Sox is teams aren't scared off by his shoulder. Good news?
