Ken_Rosenthal #WhiteSox still working on Dunn. Would be Jackson-plus. Source: "This thing is far from over."

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 02:10 PM) MLB Network You think if I had it, I would be watching ESPN right now?

Off-topic, but why has ESPN had golf, BMX, and tennis on all day? I want to watch some damn trade rumor coverage! I am 90% last year they had an hour long special from 2-3 PM to cover until the end of the trade deadline. This is crap, I want to see some talk....

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 01:57 PM) I would only trade Dayan if the trade nets us value past this year......would not do it for Dunn who's likely a 2 month rental What if they offered Dunn + Livan Hernandez for Jackson, Viciedo, and Danks2. Would you do it?

SI_JonHeyman jackson for dunn is still a possibility. but nationals want #chisox to add another player or 2 Ok.....so add another player or two who are not good players.....No Flowers, Morel, Viciedo, Mitchell, or Thompson.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 01:21 PM) me - tiiiired. sleeeep = good. white sox baseball = better Me too. I partied until 4 AM last night, didn't get to bed until after 5, and then had a meeting at 10 this morning at work. I'm quite sleepy.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 01:29 PM) Not surprised, Rizzo might get someone to panic and meet his price or he was not blinking until 2:59. Rizzo should be the one panicking. Dunn is worthless to him for the next 2 months, unless he feels he can get better value from draft pick than he is getting offered.

Buster_ESPN Heard this: The Nationals are still talking trade with several teams on Dunn, as we get closer to the deadline.#trades

I am kind of wondering if Kenny will shift his focus to a bench/bullpen player now, and worry about Manny in August.

Wait, so his contract means he is done playing baseball in 2 months, but we still pay him $15 over the next 3 years to not even play?

I am not a fan of Manny (as a person), but I wouldn't be too disappointed to see him bring that bat to Chicago as long as it's for some mid level prospects and no one significant.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 02:55 AM) why are you the official soxtalk nicknamer? your nicknames suck.. no offense I disagree.

No one decided to put this together, and I don't either. But Morel went 2/4 today. Chris Sale pitched 1 inning. 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, and 3 Ks. He has 15 K now in 6 1/3 IP. JIKES!

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 04:58 PM) some people tend to think he projects at 2b, you're a prospect guy, agree? I don't. 2B seems like a much easier position to play, so why move him out of 3B, where he is very good? Sure, he may not have typical 3B power, but I'd rather have a great defensive 3B down there than a good hitter who can't field.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 04:06 PM) I think I would almost prefer Berkman over Dunn. I think Berkman is the better overall hitter but his main problem has been injuries, and wouldn't cost as much in terms of prospects. However, can't really go wrong with either because they would both provide what we desperately needed. I too wanted Berkman over Dunn.

QUOTE (chunk23 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 04:03 PM) Apparently the Yankees are on the verge of landing Berkman, taking out a rival in the Dunn sweepstakes. But also taking away some leverage from Kenny, and may push the Rays to get Dunn.

Yankees Close To Acquiring Lance Berkman

lol Adam.... "I like their uniforms," Dunn said. "I like black."

Assuming EJax stays on normal rest, he would make his debut on Aug 3rd vs. Tigers, then he would get BAL, DET, MIN, BAL.

Nationals just traded Christian Guzman to Rangers for prospects. Not sure if this effects a Dunn trade in anyway, like maybe the hangup was because they wanted to see what they got from Rangers before they agreed to Sox deal for Dunn.

It appears are we are going to lose like 5-6 prospects today and all we will have to show for it is 2 month of Adam Dunn and Brett Myers. I can't say that I'm impressed.

A friend of mine on Facebook who used to work for ESPN seems pretty confident that deal is in place for Jackson + prospects for Dunn, and we are just waiting on Nats to sign off on it.

QUOTE (Linnwood @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:33 PM) http://twitter.com/JimBowdenXMFOX That's what I thought, but I don't see any of the tweets that were posted 10 pages back or so about Dunn about to be traded to Sox......

What is Bowden's twitter name?

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 11:15 AM) Man this is killing me. It seems pretty obvious that Hudson has been dealt, but to where and for whom? I hope it's not the Hudson and prospect for Jackson. That would be giving away too much. Cowley or someone else suggests that 2 deals will be made. 1 is Hudson for Jackson, and the other is probably Jackson and others for someone big. Someone on MLBtraderumors suggests Fister and Kotchman or Myers and Berkman.
