From MLBtraderumors 4:45pm: Two White Sox officials tell USA Today's Bob Nightengale that the Sox will pay all of Peavy's contract. That means they'll pay him $56MM by the end of 2012 and maybe more afterwards. NO cash from Padres!

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 04:19 PM) I think KW made this trade with the full knowledge that Peavy might not help us at all this year. That is fine by me I would rather Peavy be 100% in 2010 than have him really screw up his ankle in some September starts! I will not give KW any grief If I do not see Peavy until 2010.

This is basically the same trade that Peavy rejected in June, Nice job KW!

From MLB Trade Rumors Not sure what to make of this, but SI's Jon Heyman tweeted that Padres pitcher Jake Peavy was dealt to the White Sox again. Heyman is not sure if Peavy OK'd it. He says the Padres get minor leaguers. Peavy is currently recovered from a torn ankle tendon.

QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 03:06 PM) Technically they can say we added Pena, Castro and Kotsay-so it hasnt been officially standing pat, but honestly these arent close to adreneline pumping additions. I agree 11% ticket increase and this is what is added to a .500 team!

Hell even the Reds are adding payroll come on KW!

Sox will do nothing and KW will give Sox fans the old we tried like hell routine.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 10:09 PM) How many times can everyone say the same s*** over and over again in different threads. KW never has and never will be a seller, period. What White Sox GM has everyone been watching for the last decade? KW has NOT been much of a buyer either at the trade deadline a spare part hear and there is all he has really done!

Offense has been HR or bust for 3 years time for a change!

Sox sure are trading previous so called first round picks for nothing shows how pathectic they were in talent evaluation!

Wise stays again!

Good luck to BA........Guillen and KW hated him but they love Wise. If this train of thinking between the OG and KW continue I will start having different conclusions of what their true problems are!

SuperCena vs Orton at Summerslam for the 2000th time.

Rose between the white lines is a HOF, outside the white lines a piece of crap as are others in MLB Hall of Fame!

Legacy jumping in the 3 way match at a PPV is BS!

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 03:13 PM) Lots of payroll flexibility after this year and a nice cheap core of Beckham, Quentin, Ramirez, Danks, and Floyd. Of course, big holes to fill with the departures of Dye and Thome after this year and Konerko, and A.J. after next. I hope the Sox move cautiously and build this right, they could be set up for a nice run in this division over the next five years. KW will still have a reason to not spend the money! Like say we do not need a CF we got Wise.....etc:gosoxretro:

Bad loss need a win Sunday!

Jenks time on a short lease has come!

Wise not leading off is an upgrade in game 2!

A's did very well IMO!

Nothing................. he is given a free ride all year and paid well to do it!

They are paid alot of money to play a game ......You will be booed sometimes get over it!

They asked him about being sent down to AAA!

Congrats MB
