July 30, 201510 yr Is this the quietest the rumor mill involving the Sox you can ever remember, buying or selling? Certainly is more me We haven't been linked to one player and were just 27 hours away from the deadline. Incredible.
July 30, 201510 yr It has been quieter ever since Ozzie went away. The Guillen family had extremely loose lips. The perception is Robin doesn't and I think Hahn and Kenny work hard to keep things tight. I also think we probably just got into the buyer's market so probably aren't as far along as other teams.
July 30, 201510 yr Like I said yesterday the year we acquired Peavy we didnt hear anything the entire week. Then bam right before the deadline we had him. Kenny even said probably nothing will happen. Edited July 30, 201510 yr by Baron

Certainly is more me We haven't been linked to one player and were just 27 hours away from the deadline. Incredible. Maybe in 05' when the only move we made was adding Geoff Blum. Either were working on something big, or not going to make a significant move. Reports of a rift in the FO makes me worry we don't know what direction to go at the deadline and that's why we're so quiet.
July 30, 201510 yr I like it honestly. Those loose lips cost us Miggy right? Edited July 30, 201510 yr by SouthSideSale
July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 12:02 PM) Were there any rumors about the moves the Sox made this offseason? Samardzija's rumor felt like a month long. No rumors on Melky, Bonifacio, or Robertson though.
July 30, 201510 yr I think some has to do with lately this regime has had less rumors floating around, but I also think that the notion that the Sox went from Sellers, or at least Stay-Putters, to Buyers in about a week has something to do with it. A lot of rumors of conversations, etc., are floated by front offices to put other teams on alert, etc... basically tactics. Sox are so late to those party and probably internally and externally weren't going to be buyers, so no time for kicking tires etc., if they buy, they're diving in pretty quickly.

Exactly this.
July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 12:03 PM) I like it honestly. Those loose lips cost us Miggy right? Not really, no. The Tigers having the payroll space to take on Dontrelle did that.
July 30, 201510 yr Not only is it quiet for us but SD has been awful quiet themselves. I would like to match up with them for a SP and someone like Kemp. If we can get Cashner or Ross plus kemp for a group of prospects and Danks (only to offset some $) I would be happy.
July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 06:03 PM) I like it honestly. Those loose lips cost us Miggy right? And I think Torii Hunter when he dissed us for LALa land
July 30, 201510 yr What do we need? Another starter? I could see Danks being used as trade bait but he most likely wouldn't bring back much. He has done a decent job for us but that salary would be a drag. We would be sitting real strong with who we have if Avisail would pick it up. Edited July 30, 201510 yr by elrockinMT
July 30, 201510 yr I think the biggest reason it is quiet is because the Sox weren't exactly in buy mode a couple of days ago.

July 30, 201510 yr You never know, the wrong guy gets injured tonight, and the Sox could be selling tomorrow.

July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 01:11 PM) It's very quiet. Almost too quiet. Makes me think something huge is in the works. Probably just going to stand pat to drive us nuts
