http://texas.rangers.mlb.com/news/article....rticle_54972194 Just the usual bull before a trade deadline

Only a matter of time before Texas concedes and trades for Rios. Terrible offense and Cruz had some issues in the OF today(not to mention suspension).

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 07:14 PM) Wasn't he just scratched due to an arm injury? Neck

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 06:57 PM) Phillies willing to listen to offers for Cliff Lee according to Jerry Cransick. Could affect Peavy's value Willing to listen but not yet trade. Unless the offers are sky high they probably wont trade him.

Yeah I'm going to nitpick here....thats not what the tweet says.

Joel Sherman ‏@Joelsherman1 2h B4 traded for Soriano #Yankees checked in with #chisox on Rios were told on his no-trade and would not waive it so moved to #Cubs Soriano https://twitter.com/Joelsherman1

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 03:58 PM) That's why I said THEM... :D Ah s***...I need an energy drink

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 03:56 PM) Then you simply move on. But for them to say they aren't interested is a bit of a stretch. I didnt say it

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 03:52 PM) Nice to see Rangers struggle offensively this week vs the Yankees. They've been struggling for quite a bit now...only a matter of time before Cruz gets suspended.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 03:53 PM) Corbin....Stud Kennedy....PUKE Miley....Really Shaky Delgado....Big Time Question Mark Skaggs....Is he ready? and they would probably have to give up quite a bit for Peavy. I doubt they are willing to do that.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 03:50 PM) lol? did something change between now and a week ago? there is a limit to everyone's interest, but what their management says on TV isn't going to affect the way I perceive the Peavy trade market I never perceived the Diamondbacks to be in the market for him. Not when they have guys coming back. No need to give up assets when you have free help coming.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 03:48 PM) I sure wouldn't believe any of that around this time of year Oh I would especially when they have pitching coming back and in the minors. They really dont need to do anything except add bullpen help.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 03:46 PM) Why's that? Diamondbacks President on MLBNetwork radio basically all but ruled out needing starting pitching(injured pitchers coming back/young help in minors)

In other news you can basically cross the Diamondbacks off the list for Peavy...not really a surprise.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 03:36 PM) It's like Robin doesn't want anyone to be traded. He probably doesnt...but in the end he may not be managing this team beyond this year.

Yeah Robin everybody knew he shouldnt go out there but you....what an idiot

http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/blog/danny-kn...lers-and-buyers Royals interested in Rios

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 07:41 PM) Maybe, but you aren't going to give up anything of significance to find out, and that is what matters for the Sox. Heyman said Rios has a good reputation around the league...so I would throw that report out the window

Bruce Levine ‏@ESPNBruceLevine 1m Pirates and Rangers have been watching Rios for more than three weeks. https://twitter.com/ESPNBruceLevine

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 06:20 PM) What's the delay? Trade Rios and trade him ASAP. Get what you can for him. I'm so glad you arent in charge greg....

Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 5m Any chance the #WhiteSox can include their lip synch Saliva video in one of these deadline deals? #GottaGo Expand Reply Retweet Favorite More @ImDaBaron 4m @DanHayesCSN We wouldnt get anything back for that Expand Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 4m @ImDaBaron bag of balls https://twitter.com/DanHayesCSN Yep thats about right lol

JIM BOWDEN ‏@JimBowdenESPNxm 35s Yanks/Cubs still talking Alfonso Soriano; Tex/CWS still talking Alex Rios;Cards - CWS still talking ARamirez; SEA/PHIL still NOT selling https://twitter.com/JimBowdenESPNxm
