Dave Dombrowski in the dugout.
Both Jackson and Smyly are in the trade. This is crazy.
Wow. I was just gonna say... Smyly and Price two really nice lefties to have in the rotation together.
Sad state of affairs for the Sox when the team that needed OF help the most traded for Chris Denorfia instead of De Aza or Viciedo.
So it looks like the Sox will have 3 non-tenders this off-season.

Smyly? More like Frowny.
EDIT: I wish there was an emoticon that better expressed how stupid that joke was.
Needs more Ys in there.

That wouldn't be a bad plan if Gordon wasn't set for a big raise.
My God the Sox would destroy him in that arbitration hearing.

Seeing as they just added 2 OFers I'd say they were in talks for Viceido...As it was reported.
Viciedo for Andrew Miller, then re-sign Miller to an extension. 3/18
Book it.

The Sox have to scratch Danks, don't they, if they have any interest in making a deal.
if they do, who pitches? bullpen day?
QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 10:13 AM)
Score just said Levine saying Danks may go just 4-5 innings, to allow time for a trade.
So that means he won't be traded.
Rick Hahn NOT making any trades doesn't mean he did nothing at the deadline.
He has 5 or 6 players he realistically could trade. If the return isn't fair, why make a trade for the sake of making a trade.
Sox fans: "...for the sake of Pete! Trade somebody! Anybody!"
I hope the Oakland A's win the World Series so all the 50 year old grumps on WSI will STFU and GTFO about how Billy Beane and his spreadsheets can't win a post season series.
Ok, I'll bite...
Yes, the Sox will make 3 trades.
John Danks to the Yankees for JR Murphy and Angel Rincon.
Dayan Viciedo to the Mariners for Brandon Maurer.
Gordon Beckham to the Giants for Barry Bonds' O-ring bat weight from the 1998 allstar game.

$12-14 AAV is pretty standard fair for a #4 these days. It shouldn't be, but there are a lot of teams paying crummy #4 pitchers quite a bit.
Sup, Dawg?
