I'd love to see predictions from bucket or rockraines.

In my opinion, if Dylan Bundy were on the table, Peavy would already be in Baltimore. Tommy John or not. Last year he was the best starting pitching prospect in all of baseball. He's still going to be a stud. I'd take that chance and be really excited about it.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 04:48 PM) At some point, Hahn has to pull the trigger. You can't go to Wednesday with all of your guys still here. You need to start pulling the trigger and then move your focus to other guys that need to be moved. Once Peavy goes, I think it opens up other teams potential need to go after a Dunn or Rios, imo. I know what you mean by this but Dunn will definitely clear waivers. He could be moved in August if someone wanted.

Jayson Stark ‏@jaysonst 1m White Sox haven't shown interest in eating any of Peavy's $ (close to $24M left). That & health were big issues for Atl, Bal, StL & even LA

Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 1m Other teams are reasonably certain the White Sox are going to trade Jake Peavy. He's preparing to go. http://espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/story/_/id/...icago-white-sox …

Peavy brought extra bags on trip in case, per @JJStankevitz. This sounds like the Sox want an extra player or something from Boston/St.Louis. If the beat writer has that information at this juncture, he is supposed to have that at this juncture if you know what I mean. Driving up the price. When the Sox acquired Jake Peavy the first time I was at Bears Camp when news broke. I am heading to Bourbonnais tomorrow so we should have a deal by tomorrow, boys.

Peavy brought extra bags on trip in case, per @JJStankevitz. If the Cards package of Wong, Martinez, and Kelly is true what would Oakland be offering to top that? Sonny Gray, Ynoa and what else? I'm just not a big fan of their position players in the minors with the exception of Russell.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 10:14 AM) Looks like Boston has some interest in Lindstrom. http://www.mlbdailydish.com/2013/7/28/4564...ires-jake-peavy Good, I'll take Jackie Bradley straight up for him.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 10:13 AM) Could be more misinformation, but this article claims the BoSox interest in Peavy isn't what it seems, they are just "kicking the tires". They are more interested in Lindstrom according to this guy. Take it for what it's worth this time of July. Also if anyone could provide a little info on the prospects they mentioned on Boston's side. http://www.mlbdailydish.com/2013/7/28/4564...ires-jake-peavy I was always skeptical of Chris Cotillo because of how young he is but he has had decent info this deadline. Remember though that he is a Red Sox fan as well. It's hard to believe what is true from anyone in that Red Sox media network because they always think they have the best prospects and should keep them all. To them, they'd be upset if Red Sox traded Ranaudo for Peavy straight up. They overvalue their own tremendously.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 02:36 PM) He was so bad yesterday. I don't see how any GM would give up anything of value for this guy. Hate to be so negative, but Lindstrom? He's just another Boone Logan type of pitcher IMO. Just another guy. I've been sitting home all day, checking sox talk, waiting for someone to make the Boone Logan-Matt Lindstrom comparison. Everytime I see him pitch, I think of Boone Logan.

Ken Rosenthal had a snippet on the Fox Sports website today saying that the Rangers interest in Alex Rios is overblown. It appears as though SF is listening on offers for Pence as well.

Peter Gammons ‏@pgammo 1m If what GMs say the pricetags on Peavy, Norris, Lee and Santana hold, Wednesday is going to be very quiet.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 09:34 AM) I think a package of Peavy and cash to the A's for Ynoa, Gray, Boyd, and Bostic would be on the high end of where I would start the talks. Not that they'd only be getting guys KW is scouting but it looks like Ynoa and Addison Russell are only guys of note on High A. He had to have been scouting Ynoa and maybe someone on the Giants team.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 09:38 AM) Jon Heyman tweeted, "Rios atop of Rangers OF list for today, Texas may wait on Pence and Stanton." I think Pence would like to stay in SF, but if they keep losing, I could see SF trading him. I posted the article. He also mentions that Sox and Rangers aren't close. We kind of knew that though.

These articles are all getting repetitive but here's another Heyman story on Rios being Texas' top target. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/blog/jon-heym...giancarlo-pence

http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/red-sox/pos..._medium=twitter The executive in this story thinks Sox will accept a Pitching prospect and one other prospect for Peavy.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 12:01 PM) I think a package of Webster, Cecchini, Marrero and Britton would be a good package for Peavy and Lindstrom. I'd really like Brentz in the deal. Something like Webster, Brentz, Cecchini, and one lesser piece would be a great return in my opinion.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 10:20 AM) He just paid $18 million for a Jeff Soptic type prospect. True but would you rather pay $18 million and get a lottery ticket relief prospect or just pay the full $24 million and have him potentially block someone else from playing through next season? It's fine. It is a sunk cost. Junior Lake isn't that good but he can now go to LF every day until Kris Bryant is ready to play there.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 02:02 PM) Gregor says Sox are pushing Dunn. Gerry Fraley ‏@gfraley 2h Rangers have multiple scouts at ChiSox game today. Alex ``One Speed'' Rios being watched, and White Sox pushing Adam Dunn, too.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 09:54 AM) There is no debate that Peavy and Rios are better players with better contracts than Garza and Soriano No but there is a debate as to whether a lot of the contenders can pay those future salaries. Peavy at $14.5 next year is below market value but it's still not a price that Arizona, Colorado, Baltimore, and some teams want to pay. Luckily, it sounds like Boston and St. Louis are involved. As far as Rios goes, while $12.5 million for him next year is market value, a team like Pittsburgh may have trouble taking that one. If the Sox are going to eat $$ then they need better players in return. I think that's what makes this so difficult. I do think we see action soon though. Hahn is not an idiot.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 09:49 AM) Basically, Alexei is right at the top of the list of "guys who, if we trade, makes it inevitable that 2014 is a rebuilding season". He's about the most difficult guy on our roster to replace next year. That means the price for Alexei should be high, with enough return to warrant "Throwing in the towel for next year despite a solid pitching staff". Good point Balta. Personally, I don't care how they replace Alexei because I don't think the Sox can compete next year. Those of you who are in the competing in 2014 crowd, it is understandable why you wouldn't want to dump Ramirez. I really hope they can get a useful piece or two and dump the salary personally though.
