QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jan 21, 2012 -> 07:10 PM) Floyd is proven in the AL. Oswalt is not. Floyd would cost more in terms of added prospects. Yep. He's younger, less of an injury risk, and going to give you workhorse innings. I hope someone trades for him with a decent prospect package.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 21, 2012 -> 06:04 PM) Well if it made sense, then Phil Rogers wouldn't have said it Pretty much. I'm most amused by Red Sox sites/commenters taking his speculative tweet as a legitimate option.

Phil Rogers proposes the Sox trade Floyd + Alexei to Boston. Which makes no sense considering Boston just dumped Scutaro for almost nothing because of monetary issues.

alexspeier Alex Speier Obviously, moving Scutaro's $6M would liberate resources for #redsox to pursue starters. Oswalt and Floyd (among others) have been on radar 35 seconds ago Favorite Retweet Reply

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jan 21, 2012 -> 04:52 PM) Per MLBTradeRumors Rockies close to acquiring Scutaro. Bidding war between Jays and Red Sox for Floyd? I really hope so, but I bet the Sawx are going after Oswalt.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jan 21, 2012 -> 11:41 AM) I am unfamiliar with their farm system. Who do they have that we can make a difference for us in the near future? Probably not many that would help in the near future. Maybe Middlebrooks. Most of their guys are a year or more away. I'd wager guys like Workman, Ranaudo, and Brentz are players Kenny would like. Maybe Jacobs. Though it shouldn't matter much. Kenny can't be picky about only getting AAA guys. He needs solid prospects period.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 21, 2012 -> 11:38 AM) And that's what you hope for. If the Sox trade Gavin they're all out anyways, pick up some of the money and hope to get overwhelmed with a prospect package... Pretty much. Who cares if they pick up a portion of the contract? It will help them in their rebuilding effort. The Sox would be even further out if they trade Gavin, so it hardly matters if they are "helping" Boston win.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jan 20, 2012 -> 05:22 PM) Talk about a team that doesn't have clear direction right now... I'd imagine they are trying to move salary in order to sign Oswalt. Not sure who they would have had playing SS though. Aviles? Iglesias with his no offense?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 20, 2012 -> 05:15 PM) I'm glad Ozzie is going to speak some more. I hope he makes Jerry and the front office look so bad. I mean grown people are acting like Ozzie was welcome back one more year, the final year of his contract, etc., cause that was the company line and they say Ozzie "quit" with two games left with the Sox 29 games out of first place. I've maintained all along KW won this war. So what if Ozzie technically "quit" with 1-2 days to go, to take a much better job w/job security? Please. The 2 hated each other. Kenny won. Case closed. Speak, Ozzie. I want to hear more about this. p.s. The difference between the Ozzie lovers and haters IMO is we lovers don't give a f*** what Ozzie says publicly. The haters tend to look at all his sentences (of which there are a zillion) and study them religiously. I took Ozzie's statements as great theatre, great fun. Many of you took them and got mad. This is just awful.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jan 20, 2012 -> 04:37 PM) Rockies close to acquiring Scutaro from the Red Sox. And now talks are dying supposedly. Maybe the Red Sox now realized they need a SS worthy of starting?

Rockies close to acquiring Scutaro from the Red Sox.

While I'm no insider and can't read the article, I'm pretty excited about Soptic. Even if he's likely a reliever. I had a hard time deciding where to place him in my top 30.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 06:00 PM) Why does anyone believe anything this twitter account posts? He already said the trade was a done deal, then said the Sox had medical concerns then said Toronto ownership nixed the deal because they don't want to add payroll. Of course Paul Beeston said Rogers has never said no for that reason. He's just throwing crap out there. I don't think anyone is taking what this guy is saying for fact. Speculation is fun though during a slow winter for a quasi-rebuilding ballclub. As far as the Jays valuing Syndergaard highly, it was also mentioned by credible sources that the Jays weren't willing to package him as part of the Gio or Latos trades.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 03:57 PM) Deck isn't even the best one, right? I don't think he's the best one. Probably the safest one, but without huge upside. The Jays just have a huge glut of "B" pitching prospects, a few with "A" upside. Syndergaard is one of those. Sickels has Deck their 4th best pitching prospect behind Syndergaard, Nicolino, and Norris. If Kenny could get Deck and Hutchinson for Gavin, I would be elated.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 03:46 PM) I want Syndergaard really badly, but I'm not sure of how much of it is because I think he's good and how much of it is because I want to get a shirt with his name on the back. The Jays have so many promising pitching prospects to choose from in addition to Deck. Hutchinson, Syndergaard, Cardona, Nicolino, Sanchez, Wojo, Jenkins, and Osuna. I really hope a deal gets done.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 03:42 PM) FarrellBall FARRELL BALL #Jays are still interested; Just don't want to give up Nicolino or Syndengaard along with Deck RT @FarrellBall Anything more on Floyd? I love Syndergaard. Not surprised the Jays want to hold on to him.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 18, 2012 -> 02:35 PM) Is this a joke, or is there a Rob Lowe who is someone? jorgearangure Jorge Arangure Waiting for confirmation from Rob Lowe about Gavin Floyd trade to Blue Jays It was a joke. I was fooled too. But I had no idea who Rob Lowe was.

QUOTE (southsidetony @ Jan 18, 2012 -> 02:43 PM) I'd more likely trust if Sam Seaborn confirmed it. Yep. Went over my head. I'm no pop culture guy. I assume he's joking.

QUOTE (TheHugeUnit @ Jan 18, 2012 -> 12:29 PM) Why do you want Larvanway? He makes Montero look like a gold glover. They are both awful catchers.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 18, 2012 -> 11:49 AM) Brandon Jacobs would be a nice pickup for the Sox Kenny probably wants more pitching. Workman, Ranaudo, and Wilson are candidates.
