QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 2, 2013 -> 05:59 PM) Don't the Sox have to announce tendering contracts to Beckham, De Aza, and Viciedo? Maybe somebody is getting traded in the next 5 hours. Certainly possible

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 2, 2013 -> 01:39 PM) If he is a non-tender guy, we aren't giving up anything to get him. It would be a guy that no one has ever heard of, except the kids mom. Just a thought but how about swapping Flowers for him?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 2, 2013 -> 01:33 PM) Flowers is a better player, so the idea of that is preposterous. Indeed....I dont get all the people trying to connect the dots and have him land here. I'd rather just keep Flowers.

Had someome purpose that we trade for Arencibia.....but also giving up Gordon and Flowers....

QUOTE (coco1997 @ Dec 2, 2013 -> 08:16 AM) ‏@Buster_ESPN 3m The Pirates are on the verge of acquiring catcher Chris Stewart from the Yankees. Nice timing....Heard the Mets were interested in Flowers. Maybe we can send him to NY.

Just to throw this out there but Chris Stewart will probably be non tendered today

Well....today is the tender deadline. So atleast we will have a little bit of news.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 30, 2013 -> 03:44 PM) But man, you don't just release people who do have some talent because you're frustrated with them unless there's someone pushing to replace them. Yeah his name is Josh Phegley

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 30, 2013 -> 12:08 PM) Flowers is out of options. Good just release him

QUOTE (woods of ypres @ Nov 29, 2013 -> 04:41 AM) Are we ready to call quits on Flowers, and Phegley, already? Wasn't Flowers playing hurt all season? And Phegley has a small sample size and has adjusted in all levels in the minors. Oh absolutely on Tyler Flowers....his grace period is over.He's been with this organization for quite some time now. Phegley may get a chance to stick around. But I would keep him as a backup.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Nov 28, 2013 -> 02:44 PM) God, I hope this is false. Might as well punt the season, if true. I don't like punting whole seasons. We are going to upgrade at catcher. We are not going into the season with Flowers and Phegley at catcher. Every indication has been made that it is a major priority at this point. Rick Hahn knows it.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 28, 2013 -> 12:18 AM) I don't think catcher upgrade is a huge priority right now. Lol I call major bs on that one.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 10:06 PM) That's cool. I like Hayes. He always replies to tweets asking about the Sox. Yeah he has replied to all my free agent questions so far.

When I asked about Navarro Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 5m I know they had interest but to what degree I'm not sure. https://twitter.com/DanHayesCSN

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 05:37 PM) Dioner Navarro moving towards deal with unknown team per MLBTR Yep....I'd take him

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Nov 20, 2013 -> 08:29 PM) Prince Fielder is 29 years old. If he were a free agent this year, he may demand as much as Robinson Cano. Getting him for 7/138 is a steal. -- Jeff Passan That may be the dumbest thing I've read today

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 20, 2013 -> 08:22 PM) That would make Prince's contract much more reasonable. Would take it from $24M a year down to a little over $18M. That's more realistic, albeit still a lot. Its 30 million

The more you look at this deal the more I realize that Detroit got away with highway robbery.Still cant believe Fielder is getting 24 million for the next 7 years.

http://www.spotrac.com/mlb/texas-rangers/team-payroll/2014/ The Rangers in 2014 have over 100 million in payroll just for 13 players

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 20, 2013 -> 08:05 PM) Choo and Rios both have their best position as RF. Yep and I think giving McCann 100 million would be a mistake

Some say the Rangers are going to still pursue McCann and Choo

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 20, 2013 -> 07:57 PM) In his defense that's a lot of weight to pull. It really is
