QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 03:07 PM) I want the Sox to get Youk but I don't think I'd give up Matt Thornton for him. Is he under contract for next year too? Kevin is under contract for next year for 13 million I believe

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 03:04 PM) One thing regardless this is gonna happen by Monday IMO. Its going to happen today in all likelihood

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 03:03 PM) Yeah, I don't think they're going to be too picky and I don't think they believe he's going to contribute anyway. Kevin thought that his swing was getting back to where it needed to be. But it doesnt help when he isnt playing everyday.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 03:02 PM) I still think Pirates will get him, Boston wants him traded to the NL. They want him traded period. They dont have many choices right now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:53 PM) Red Sox trying to play rivals against each other? Quite possibly....if they are even interested. I will never trust what Bowden says after that Dunn mishap. He got blasted after that one.

Jim Bowden says the Indians are in the hunt. But keep in mind this is the guy who said we acquired Adam Dunn a few years ago.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:44 PM) Is it the guy with the European-sounding name? He's the only guy on earth that knows s*** about the Pirates Yeah it is lol

QUOTE (chisox2334 @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:42 PM) say trade is immiment but metions rosenthals rumors with pirates A well known Pirates beat writer said they are out of it. All thats really left is us and the Dodgers.

Yep just called. Its bull.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:37 PM) are they talking about it or what??? Nope Im about to call them.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:36 PM) Yeah, but I feel like he offers the team something, even if we had to use him in lower-leverage situations. I am just really afraid Youk will offer us absolutely nothing. It all depends on how much money we get if this is even legit. I have no idea if it is.

QUOTE (rackemup @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:34 PM) if you go to the twitter page from the radio station, it is spelled differently and mentions nothing about youk I dont see it being spelled differently. But I am listening to the station right now.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:33 PM) He might be the best non-closing relief pitcher we've ever had, though he certainly is regressing as he is pretty old now That plus he is expensive.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:31 PM) Clicking the link, I get that this page doesn't exist. Is this legit? https://twitter.com/98_5SportsHub Im listening to the station right now

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:29 PM) Is this legit? This is the most I would have given up without being angry. Leyson Septimo anyone? http://boston.cbslocal.com/category/sports/ Its a legit radio station thats reporting it

Yeah that is a legit radio station.

Pirates are out...looks like Youkillis is ours

QUOTE (Sockin @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:22 PM) This could be bull considering it's a new twitter account but FWIW. #RedSox‬ Kevin Youkilis & Cash Considerations traded to ‪#WhiteSox‬ for Matt Thornton & PTBNL. ‪#MLB‬ https://twitter.com/98_5sportshub/status/216610937690537986 Its a sports station in Boston looks like

Well if we lose out to the Pirates for Youkillis Ill be ok with it. In the end I think the Pirates will have to give up a good prospect to get what they are asking for.

^^^well thats just silly. Ofcourse they wont have to give up a top prospect. No one will unless there are more pieces to the deal.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 12:08 PM) I think the Red Sox throw that out there to try to get others involved. I still think Pittsburgh and Arizona are possibilites since the cost shouldn't be much. I think all offers being the same, they would prefer to have Youkilis on a team that is not an AL playoff contender just in case he rediscovers his performance. Arizona is apparently out of the running. Pittsburgh doesnt want to take his money and give up a decent prospect.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 12:02 PM) I think he winds up in the NL. While its always exciting the Sox may upgrade from a guy like the ODog, if Youkilis doesn't come here, even if the price was close to nothing, its really not a big deal. Its either us(more likely) or the Dodgers at this point.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 11:42 AM) What's their site again? Would be fun to read lol Just look at the PSD one.

Red Sox fans think that they are getting Gavin Floyd in this deal
