SoxFan562004 Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 WSCR is reporting that the Sox and KW may keep Nomar now and that Jose is gone, most likely to Seattle (no names with that) AM 1000 is reporting that Nomar to Dodgers is still on (But for AM1000 wait until they attach Bruce Levine to any story to take it seriously) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Showtime Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 The whole Nomar to LA thing is based off of the Trib report. I think Reinsdorf is gonna get a deal done to lock up Nomar. But all of this still lies in the hands of Alex Rodriguez. Lets not forget that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 And the players association, which still has to approve the restructuring of his contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have approved that, what's gonna happen is the Union and Gene Orza will present both parties with a contract that has been changed and approved by the Union.

This is a San Diego station, but Luchino has deep ties with San Diego. They said he will be on whether or not a deal for Arod is done. Could be an interesting listen.

LostInBoston Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 I was just listening to the Boston stations out here and they said that the Red Sox met with Texas last night and they ran into a "major snag" regarding how much Texas wants the Red Sox to pay of Manny's remaining contract. Apparently there's still a lot to be worked out here. Also, Bud Selig called for a Thursday deadline for getting this deal done. Hopefully Boston/Texas can work their stuff out...

I would think at this point they have to work it out. It would be a train wreck of a situation if these guys all returned to their current teams.

This morning Jayson Stark said he expected the deal to go down no later then tomorrow morning..but in all liklihood it will go down today.

Chisoxfn Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 For sure. No way you can bring those guys back to their current teams. I think you could. Rumors are just that, they go on and on. Now I don't think Ramirez could be brought back, but Magglio, no doubt in my mind you could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Sox cannot bring back Nomar, after what has gone down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Sox cannot bring back Nomar, after what has gone down. Another bargaining chip for the Sox. Sounds like they are the only ones that can take their chips off the table and walk away right now.

Magglio definitely could be brought back, but ARod, Nomar, and Manny need new homes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
103 mph screwball Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 It was reported that KW talked to Juan Gone's agent at the winter meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Has anyone heard any rumors of Juan Gone coming to town? Only that the Sox have done some background checks. I don't think Juan Gone fits unless the Sox move Konerko to the Dodgers and hold onto Nomar (A distinct possibility) and then the Sox would have a few options: Option A: Keep Lee in left, let Frank play first, DH Juan Gone Option B: Move Lee to 1st, Juan Gone in Lf, Frank to DH Option C: A mixture of all of these. The one problem with Juan Gone is the Sox would have a very very right handed lineup. Carl Everett would be a great option because he would be more then capable of playing right field and would provide lefty pop (switch hitter). The question is could the Sox deal a lesser type prospect to get him??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 I think with Lee. JuanGone, and Nomar... plus Frank I think we would be ok with the righthanded lineup.. Our pitching was the strong point last yr and if we improve them I think the hitting will regain its form and everything will be good for us on 04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
