Dont even get me started on the Chavez thing. I would like to go back to that thread and see who all was saying he was done, mentioning roids..nobody around him to hit...etc etc. Chavez is, and will always be god. Lowell could at least give Joe a break as well as Kong too. He would be a nice addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 didnt see this posted... from the Miami Herald Burnett options narrow BY CLARK SPENCER [email protected] The Marlins have apparently narrowed their focus to the Chicago White Sox in discussions for A.J. Burnett, but there remains a chance the pitcher won't be dealt before Sunday's trade deadline. That's because the White Sox aren't sure they can sign Burnett, a free agent after the season, to an extension that would keep him in Chicago beyond this year. Burnett said he's content to remain with the Marlins through this season but would rather test the free agent market to gauge his value than agree to an extension with a new team if the Marlins are able to work out a trade. ''If it's the right team and the right place, why not?'' Burnett said of signing an extension if traded. ``But I'm still pretty key on seeing what's going on in the off-season.'' The White Sox could likely give up minor-league starter Brandon McCarthy and left-handed reliever Damaso Marte to get Burnett. If they trade Burnett, the Marlins might also look to acquire a starting pitcher from some other team.[/b][/size] it's all us, boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both very fishy at the moment. Hopefully they will be very pale in the next couple hours. Anyway, Lowell is a salary dump. They just want to get rid of him so they can move Cabrera to 3B.

Ozzie Montana Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 (edited) I guess we have the best chance to land him now but a deal is still not guaranteed. Nothing new except for the Marlins focusing solely on the White Sox now. Jul 25 The Miami Herald's Clark Spencer reports the Florida Marlins have apparently narrowed their focus to the Chicago White Sox in discussions for SP A.J. Burnett, but there remains a chance the pitcher won't be dealt before the July 31 trade deadline. The White Sox could likely give up minor-league SP Brandon McCarthy and RP Damaso Marte to get Burnett.

And they wont have AJ past this season, so its either get nothing for them, or some good players, including our #1 prospect and one of the most dependable lefties for the last 4 years in the AL.

nitetrain8601 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Don't know if this has been posted yet. The White Sox are still waiting on the Marlins to accept or reject their offer of Brandon McCarthy, Damaso Marte and maybe Jose Contreras for A.J. Burnett. Although previous indications were that the White Sox would insist on a contract extension with Burnett to complete the deal, the Chicago Tribune suggests GM Ken Williams may soften his stance if he receives assurances Burnett would put the Sox at the top of his list during the winter. ''I'm kind of both ways with it,'' Burnett said Sunday about signing an extension before the winter. ''If it's the right team and the right place, then why not? But I'm still pretty keen on seeing what's going on in the offseason. But, like I said, if it's the right place and the right team, absolutely.'' The Tribune believes Burnett might be more likely to agree to an in-season extension with the Red Sox than with the White Sox. Jul. 25 - 12:49 pm et Source: Chicago Tribune via rotoworld.
