QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 07:51 PM) just because they don't want to overpay for a slightly better JC and have him for 2-3 months, doesn't mean they won't make a trade. I'm hoping they make a better deal, for someone they actually need. Not doubting you, but does anyone have the numbers for both pitchers?

Ponson would've done better playing at Petco. Anyway, I think this is the 3rd time he's used his no trade clause. I heard in addition to nixing the Griffey trade, he nixed a trade for Jeremy Burnitz.

I think the Sox will get him, just the Red ones.

I meant I'm giving up on the Sox trading for someone. Not on the team's performance.

If they can't trade Soriano, they'll be trading Young. I've heard Boston is going to be going hard after Soriano.

I'd say read the thread. But basically, it's probably dead. Apparently the White Sox offered him a 3 year 30 million dollar deal and we haven't heard anything since(that was at 5pm). Bruce Levine said one day it looks good, the next you don't know what to think. I basically gave up hope at around 12 this morning, but whatever.

Use to be Baseball Tonight, NBA Fastbreak and Outside The Lines Nightly.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 06:43 PM) So didn't they threaten to bench him They probably did, but the b**** don't want to leave. They should stash steroids in his gymbag to get him off the team. This means Baltimore is back in it for Burnett.

I've officially given up hope. I don't the Sox will do anything significant this year. The one year something could put us over the top.

I want to see home games on TV damnit.

How come I can't see the post made by the threadmaker? I have no one on my block list.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 04:17 PM) Bruce Levine said that the Sox are offering Burnett a contract in the area of 3 yr/10 mil per year. Stay tuned. I still don't think he's going to accept it even though we're maxing him out in terms of Sox type contracts. He's going to think, well if the White Sox are offering me this, imagine how much the Red Sox and Yankees will give me. I'll be very shocked if he were to accept it.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 04:11 PM) not sure what has been said on this board in the past 1.5 hours, but i can tell you from what i read before those 1.5 hours that this thread is a crock of s***. those 1.5 hours i spent listening to the radio in the car, and on am1000 not even one single mentino of this during their updates. 1 measly caller called in about burnett, but didnt say anyhting about a trade being in place. In addition 1 score update on 670 said that the white sox could be working on a trade for lowell and burnett, but that was about the extent of it. the way people on here post they make it sound like it was reported that the deal was pretty much done and that only a few minor details had to be worked out. I figured that. Everyone makes it seem like it's 95% done. Realistically, it seems like Baltimore got further down the road with the Burnett deal than us. I fully expect him to be traded there if Nevin doesn't accept the deal.

Haha. Didn't he have a game winning hit or something with them?

Wagner is off the block. The White Sox would only trade PK for Thome and that won't be happening, I guarentee. I see no deal, even with the Marlins happening.

Honestly, I don't see it happening. Especially with Burnett saying he won't resign. F' him.

Gload even though he should be with this team. I'd take him over PK.

It seems as if the Marlins fans are enamored with Anderson. They are willing to give up Eric Reed for him. Is Eric Reed any good?

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 02:03 PM) Hmmmm, uuuuuum, no. Damon is not a run producer. Varitek cannot be counted on as a consistent bat. Nixon, haha, sure. Renteria has been up and down. Mueller, yeah, sure. I hate the Red Sox as much as anyone, but them not having anyone outside of Ortiz or Manny is just flat out dumb.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 12:36 PM) Anyone else think that KW may spin-off Lowell in another deal? I really don't see the need for him. Maybe the Marlins are saying the Burnett deal is contingent on the Sox taking him. Just a thought. Two Words, One Player: Alfonso Soriano

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 12:09 PM) Did Mike North report that we are after Lyle Overbay? If so who told him this? I hate North and he seems to make s*** up. My buddy told me that North said this and I am just trying to confirm i. I don't think we are after him. If we were, that would be f'n great, but the whole "chemistry" comes into play. The White Sox don't want to get rid of too many pieces. Frankly, I'd do that deal in a heartbeat.

Don't know if this has been posted yet. via rotoworld.

QUOTE(thelatinoheat_30 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 09:37 AM) *he was saying that the sox are recruiting burnett by the compliments they are giving him and levine seemed to think the sox will get him eventually. *the interesting part is that he said the sox might again consider using contreras as the closer if they do get burnett. i dunno about that tho cause if he comes into a 1-run games, allows a double, he is so easy to steal off of. if that guy takes third base, and w/ contreras's high amount of wild pitches, i don't think it's a great idea. plus wouldn't it take him longer to warm up since he's used to starting? *silvy said he thinks a bigger need is a bullpen arm(which i agree with), esp. w/ hermanson's back issues and marte's inconsistency. levine countered by saying that every team has A and B relievers. because the sox are in so many tight games, ozzie has to use his A guys a lot. the way levine saw it was if you have 4 starters(the 4th being burnett) that can go 7 or 8, you reduce the number of relievers you use. cause since el duque and contreras usually go 6, you gotta use 3 or 4. i'd still say another bullpen arm, like a guardado, would be better, esp. considering burnett's injury past. *just another note, i was reading a recap of yesterday's marlins game and i found a quote from jack mckeon that caught my attention: http://www.tsn.ca/mlb/news_story.asp?ID=131351 i don't know if i'm making too much out of it, but what does mckeon mean by he didn't think anything was bothering burnett? *also another quote from felipe alou referring to burnett I think you're reading too much into the McKeon quote. He's talking about he's doing good with all the trade rumors going around.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 09:42 AM) Red Sox fans in chicago=Cubs fans in 2003 nuff said. So how many fans does that leave after we kick their ass in the playoffs?

I'm up for getting any of those 4 guys. Just Git R Done Kenny!!!
