July 28, 201312 yr QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 02:27 PM) It's like a plea bargain. "You can take the rest of the year now, or you'll be appealing a 150 game suspension" I think that offer has probably already expired for everyone else, or at the least will do so this week\. I'd imagine the guy who took it was the only guy going to take it.
July 28, 201312 yr Danny Knobler reiterating that Pirates have had interest in Alex Rios. And that KW has been scouting their farm system. Hopefully this could happen for like Dickerson and maybe Kingham?

I don't know anything about Dickerson and Kingham, decent guys?

I'd take that in a heartbeat for Rios. Hopefully Rangers and Pirates bid against each other and up the price. Though I think Hahn is focused on dealing Peavy right now before his start Tuesday.

I think that would be reasonable I agree that 1B may be a position of need for us...but when you are 40-61 and your system is ranked near the bottom, every position is a position of need. Just go with best player available.

July 28, 201312 yr QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 03:30 PM) Love it. Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN 5m Joe Nathan is being shopped by the Rangers for an established hitter, other teams say. More than just internal talks. That's not good for the Rios talks. Damn you Rangers

July 28, 201312 yr QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 04:21 PM) Who would even be interested in Nathan? Tigers and BoSox for sure. I doubt Texas makes that move though. I still think selling some prospects for a Rios/Pence type is a much more practical move than trading your all star closer. A possible Nathan for Ethier deal works. But Rangers looking for right handed bat. Plus Ethier is a joke.
July 28, 201312 yr Yeah, why trade your AS closer for the huge contract of Ethier that will net you less production than Rios?
