oldsox Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 05:48 PM) How about we trade Rios for Pence? Uh, I think Sox are after prospects, position players preferably, not Pence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperate for the Sox to rid themselves of Rios. I can't take the lollygagging. Yes, obviously, prospects are much preferred.

hi8is Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 03:04 PM) Everybody on this board is referring to the Sox as "we" and saying what they want to do this trade deadline. No s*** nobody here owns the Sox. Why do you have to be so condescending to everyone? Why did you chose this poster to jump on when almost every poster is acting the same way? In before Baron requests I take my medicine. You pointing this out is a form of condescension. Me point this out... is also a form of condescension. Yay for condescension-talk!!

"Desperately trying to dump Rios." QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 07:24 PM) I really think Rios is gone. Ventura doesn't want him around and if you are going to have a fresh start, you need to clear some of those high priced vets, imo. The one exception is probably Dunn/Konerko and I'd be surprised if they didn't at some point have a conversation with Paulie to see what he wants to do (and I wouldn't care if we got nothing for Paulie...its about doing what he would want). Dunn is my x-factor to go. I really think right at the end a couple teams will make a late push for him. Not a lot of power bats out there and Dunn could add value to a team looking for offense (especially with how he's played). The key would be the Sox unloading Rios. If they unload Rios, I think its more likely they move Dunn as I think they'd be more inclined to send some cash with Dunn to ensure they got meaningful talent in return for Adam (which is key, imo...if you can't...then you might as well keep him for another year and move him at next years deadline when he isn't owed as much). Interesting take on Dunn. I was thinking after reading this. What IF a contender acquired Dunn and he actually listened to the batting coach and manager who DEMANDED he simply try to get bat on ball and elevate?? He actually has tools to work with. Look ... in my untrained opinion, the guy hits a s*** ton of home runs when he simply tries to make contact and get it up in the air.

flavum Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Starting to feel like they'll get down to the last minute with Rios, and the Sox will take the best offer. That would be a nice contract to get off the books for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 https://twitter.com/Sawchik_Trib/status/362228827042217985 Figures the Sox would be interested in an Indiana University player.

cabiness42 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 To me, finding a taker for Rios makes me set an even higher price for Peavy, since now the Sox have less of a need to clear salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 The Sox are close to trading Peavy to Boston, players being worked on, but they may not find a middle ground. They also are close to sending him to St. Louis, players being worked on, but may not find a middle ground. Oakland, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
