December 19, 201312 yr 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.

December 19, 201312 yr 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.
December 19, 201312 yr 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.
December 19, 201312 yr QUOTE (coco1997 @ Dec 19, 2013 -> 08:55 AM) Who is the guy who 'broke' this? Does he have any credibility? Not sure that he does. Only connection I see is that they're both from Kentucky.
December 19, 201312 yr QUOTE (coco1997 @ Dec 19, 2013 -> 08:55 AM) Who is the guy who 'broke' this? Does he have any credibility? 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.

December 19, 201312 yr 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.
December 19, 201312 yr 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.
December 19, 201312 yr Definitely an odd thing to make up but who knows. I won't believe random people on twitter until it's confirmed by a credible source.

December 19, 201312 yr Jon Morosi @jonmorosi 15s Free agent reliever Scott Downs near agreement with Chicago White Sox, source tells @FOXSports1.

December 19, 201312 yr Author 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?
