flavum Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I put the question mark there because we don't know if it's real, but this tweet just happened... https://twitter.com/mblakeharrison/status/413678153962250241 The tweeter is from Kentucky, and so is Downs. And the move would make some sense considering it's just Veal and Leesman, and other non-roster guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Would be a nice signing. Hopefully it's true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 That'd be a very solid fit for the bullpen's needs. Left handed, in his late 30's, veteran, played for a number of different teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 This is why if you have a small child, you do everything you can to get them to throw left handed. This guy has made over $27 million in his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, but I think there is probably a better chance than a normal random tweet of being true. I don't think there is a big market in breaking Scott Downs news.

Y2Jimmy0 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 19, 2013 -> 09:40 AM) The only tweets regarding Downs to the Sox are that Blake Harrison and SoxNet asking if there is anything to it. He definitely seems like the right guy though. It's most likely true. That guy most likely knows Downs or someone that would know. He'd have no reason to make up the White Sox as the connecting team, in my opinion. Nice signing. Hopefully, it's a 1 year deal with an option and he can be traded at the trade deadline.

Dick Allen Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 19, 2013 -> 09:55 AM) I don't know, it may be true but it's too early to tell. The guy has never broke a story or anything and has tweeted about the Sox as a fan very recently. I hope it is true but I'd wait for some more concrete evidence. If he is making it up, tweeting Scott Downs to the White Sox to gain some attention is pretty pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Kinda figured it was true. Hahn was on ESPN radio yesterday, and said the Belisario deal was probably getting completed "in the next day or so". He didn't mention him by name. Anyway, once Belisario and Downs are on the 40-man, somebody has to be dumped to make room. Candidates--Heath, Morel, Nestor Molina, Santos Rodriguez?
