palesox38 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Jayson Stark was on Sportscenter a little while ago and said as of now, the Sox are involved in just about every major trade. I wonder what this means...Griffey?Wagner?Huff? I guess we will have to wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 1 question, why is it that every thread you start is a poll? Do you just like getting a feeling for what people are thinking through the poll and not reading thier responses in the thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred3535 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I wonder more how deeply involved he means, than in what trades, as I'm sure KW has inquired about the cost of most players on the market. How much further those inquiries have gone is what interests me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause I was just watching sc and Stark wasn't on there. Yeah, I don't remember him saying anything about the Sox. Heck, I don't remember seeing him, but that's because I only caught the last 20 minutes of SportsCenter. BTW, as much as I love Drew Bledsoe(especially now that he's on the Cowboys) I think it's a crock that he beat out John Stockton for best homegrown talent(and I hate Stockton or any former Jazz member).

White Sox Josh Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Huff and Burnett. They need another bat now and Huff would be perfect (especially because he is lefthanded) and Burnett might put them over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad those two might be getting dealt to the Mets/BoSox. If we were to get them, we'd have to overpay unless that deal falls through.

If that deal really goes down, the White Sox are screwed. Especially if it's true that the Red Sox will inquire about Ken Griffey if the deal does go down. We'd certainly have to get Wagner, maybe Burnett and Guardado as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWhiteSoxinNJ Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 from rotoworld: Manny Ramirez - OF - BOS The Providence Journal's Sean McAdam says there are five teams involved in talks with the Red Sox regarding Manny Ramirez and that the three-team trade with the Mets and Rays is the least likely scenario right now. McAdam said two other NL clubs and two AL clubs, one the White Sox, are looking at Ramirez. We're guessing the Cubs and maybe the Dodgers are the NL clubs. The Angels would make sense as the other AL team. Jul. 29 - 9:54 pm et Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Bartman's my idol Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I just read Jayson Starks article on ESPN Insider, where he mentions the top 10 names on the trade market. These are the names he mentions and what he says about the Sox. 1. Manny Ramirez-White Sox not mentioned at all. 2. Alfonso Soriano-not mentioned at all. 3. Aubrey Huff-And there were indications Friday, that the team making the biggest charge is the White Sox, who could use Huff as a DH-first baseman to replace Frank Thomas. It goes on to say that we will have to overpay for him, because that is the way the GM for the Devil Rays is. Says other GMs are weary because of his defense and his slide in home runs and OPS in the last 3 years. However, his stock has risen because of July. 4. A.J. Burnett-The White Sox, after deciding Burnett wasn't a good bet to sign a long-term deal with them, have shown no interest in sweeting their offer for him. Goes to say that no other team has shown interest as well and that the 72 hour window to sign him has past, which will scare off teams. 5. Danys Baez-The Mets, White Sox and Red Sox were still in on Baez as of late Friday, but appears that the Devil Rays are seeking the best prospect for him, which scared away the Phillies, Florida and Washington. 6. Bob Wickman-not mentioned at all. 7. Matt Lawton-not mentioned at all. 8. Billy Wagner-Since the White Sox have stopped calling, it appears as if the Red Sox are their last option. 9. Eddie Guardardo-Several teams have picked up the pace, but it now appears that the Mets and the White Sox have backed off somewhat. 10. Randy Winn-no mention of the White Sox. Out of the top 10: Jose Mesa and J.C. Romero. No mention of Ken Griffey at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpringfieldFan Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Stark's comments are odd. I was watching BBTN around that time and there was no mention of the White Sox at all during the trade rumor talk. I mean none. SFF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UofIChiSox Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I'm starting to think this trade season might turn into the White Sox always being the bridesmaid but never the bride.... You know, close to pulling off a lot of different deals and ending up with none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
