SuperSteve Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Talked about a three way trade with the Dodgers and Yankees. Something like Brown to NYY, Thomas to LA, and Weaver to CWS. f*** you Gammons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonxctf Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 that would be hilarious... can we even trade Frank with his contract agreement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 ROTFLMAO!! Let it out Steve. Don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Godfather Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Im not to sure that weaver is that bad of a gmble I know the history we have with the guy and all but before he went to the Yank these he was having a decent year for the tigers. All im saying is it is something we should explore if the compensation isn't to overwhelming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Thats terrible. How about Thomas to NY......Brown to CWS...and Weaver to LA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSteve Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 ROTFLMAO!! Let it out Steve. Don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel.. Seriously. That deal would suck for us. Why the hell does he even mention it? Lose a 40-100 guy last year for a minor league pitcher who makes alot of money. Let's just f*** over the White Sox, huh? I think not.

Texsox Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Say what you will about Gammons but any trade rumour that lands Frank in LA may have some basis. We've heard a few times that Frank wouldn't mind LA and getting him there probably wouldn't be an easy trade so some three way, 8 player + cash thing might be the way it goes down. This doesn't make sense with Daubach being released. I figured that was a clear sign that Frank was here for 2004. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more about us getting Weaver, and well, we all know Weaver sucks and is a prick. Moving Frank would help us alot, but I don't want Weaver.

Ishmookie Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 MR GAMMONS THAT IS THE MOST STUPID COMMENT THAT YOU HAVE EVER MADE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spataro51 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 gammons must be on chemicals!!! That is terrible, in fact isn;t that adding payroll to our team for a pitcher i do like and i do believe a change of scenery would be nice, but thomas for weaver is to much, throw in and or soriano and you have a deal.

Flash Tizzle Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 But if Thomas is traded it only creates more problems. We have a pitcher in Weaver but are still lacking a DH. And we cant even place Daubach in a DH scenario because he is gawn. KW better get this f***ing team figured out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Godfather Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Thats terrible. How about Thomas to NY......Brown to CWS...and Weaver to LA. The sox would never have the balls to add brown 2 reasons he is owed 30 million dollars over the next two season , and number two he has been to injury prone for the sox liken. That being said I would love to have brown here he is a great pitcher and would make us a hell of alot better. One way I see this trade going through would be if the dodgers or yankees were to eat some of his salary. For the yanks to eat his salary they might as well take him for themselves dont you think??

Flash Tizzle Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Its probably true.....makes sense that theres a deal in the works that benefits every team except the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spataro51 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Hey i would take giving up thomas and say danny wright or a decent prospect to the dodgers, with kevin brown going to the yanks and us getting Weaver and Perez. That would be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Its probably true.....makes sense that theres a deal in the works that benefits every team except the Sox. I am almost at the point that I think we are dismantling the team for a run at a AAA pennant. On one hand we are trying to stay positive as 5 or 6 free egents leave the team and then something as ridiculous as Thomas for Weaver comes up. The Big Hurt who hits 40 plus homers and drives in 100 plus runs and has won the MVP twice and we get a bonafide goofball headcase? PLEASE let this be a nightmare...

Harry Chappas Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I could see Lee (pitcher from NY or Chi) going to LA, Brown to Yanks, and Perez and Weaver to Chicago with the Yanks giving Sox $2M in cash. Weaver is a salary dump and we take a risk. If he pans out we have a solid rotation. If he doesn't we have Perez. I think LA would need pitching in return, maybe we get Mota.

Gene Honda Civic Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 First of all frank is a 10-5 guy.... He can veto any trade... Second what would we want weaver for? :fyou Gammons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 First of all frank is a 10-5 guy.... He can veto any trade... Second what would we want weaver for? :fyou Gammons The problem is Cheat that Frank might be tired of all the BS happening with the team this off season and he agrees to a trade. I hope not and I agree with you that we don't need Weaver unless he comes in a waiver deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Going based on memory here, correct me if I'm wrong, Didn't we selct weaver as a first round draft pick? Then he souldn't sign. And wound up the next year as a tiger? and the quickest to the majors from that draft? He said something to the effect of "I would never play for chicago, I don't like that towN? That's paraphasing that's clearly deteriorated over the years but, you get the idea. :fyou Weaver Why would we ever want that guy around?

CSF Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Anybody know where the Jaws of Life are at? We need to extract Gammons' lips from the crack of Steinbrenner's ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
