Flash Tizzle Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 (edited) Breaking News segment on Sportscenter claims talks between Orioles and Marlins have sped up recently. Sidney Ponson could be included in any posssible deal to offset Lowell's salary. In addition, a desonated time period could be placed aside for Orioles to work out a long term deal for AJ. A deal, in principle, could be completed soon as tonight. Edited July 22, 2005 by Flash Tizzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 QUOTE(letsgoarow @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 11:44 PM) f*** Are you kidding? I don't see how getting Burnett would hold us at all! An offensive weapon or a closer would be a much bigger addition for this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 It seems KW didn't want the Lowell contract, neither did the O's, but swapping Ponson's contract may be the only way this goes down... for the sake of the teams involved Burnett has to be moved by this weekend or the Fish have to tell him he's staying, probably f***ing up the atmosphere in the clubhouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 It's done, somehow Texas gets Ponson too. Details emerging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 (edited) http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2114524 I would much rather see KW go after Wagner than overpay for AJ Edited July 23, 2005 by EvilJester99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankensteiner Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I'd easily take AJ Burnett pitching for one of the Cubans over a bullpen acquisition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Why would Tampa Bay want Ponson? Texas I could understand, but Tampa Bay? SB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAfan Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Burnett to Baltimore cannot hurt us. The O's have little chance holding on for a wild card, and does anyone think they will beat out the BoSox and Yankees in the stretch run? Personally, I never really wanted Burnett for the price they were seeking. I guess we'll soon find out how cheaply he came. (But we also couldn't afford to be burdened with a bad contract for Mike Lowell.) If he could be flipped for Wagner, maybe, but I think that was a pipe dream.

EvilJester99 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Total pipedream here but if the Sox could swing the deal with Toronto and then get Burnett and Lowell and then swing Burnett for Wagner...this team wouldn't need anything else...IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
