kdhargo Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 (edited) Not that this is a shopping list for the White Sox, but here are some big-named players that have successfully cleared waivers: Pedro Martinez, Carlos Beltran, Ken Griffey, Jr, Jorge Posada Full list of NY players to have cleared waivers.

Whitesoxfan56 Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I know it will never happen, but KW needs to do whatever he has to do to get Pedro and Griffey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoArow33 Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I'd be happy with just K-Grif. He's a big bat we need badly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 So just between thetwo NYC teams that was about 30 players that got listed... Yeah, I guess everyone doesn't hit waivers :rolly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That funky motion Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I'm sure KW will get someone. This team needs a jolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Good thing the Sox don't have David Wright on their team. KW could have mixed his name up with Danny Wright, and just let a team pick him up without any compensation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wsox08 Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I would say we need someone but everytime we lose two or three in a row everyone says we need someone... We are just playing flat.. When we win a few in a row everyone is satisfied in the team.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox_Sonix Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I noticed this tidbit in the article: Of all the unrealistic trade requests (three top prospects for Jeremy Affeldt, two top prospects for Kent Mercker, two established top starters and a top reliever for Billy Wagner), the worst might have been Seattle requesting top White Sox prospect Brandon McCarthy for journeyman reliever Ron Villone.

I'm glad when they string a few together,but now I'm also thinking about starting pitching. I wont be satisfied until we are in the WS. :banghead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, since they have cleared waivers , it means all that has to happen is the Sox and whatever team have to work out a trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Fireworks Man Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 01:50 PM) But can't other teams somehow block the trade? No. If they wanted to block a potential trade, they would have had to claim the player in the 72 hour period after he was placed on waivers. Once a player clears waivers, he can be traded to anyone. The only way for a team to block now is to offer a better deal in trade for the player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 12:54 PM) So when they say "player X" cleared waviers, does that mean he cleared and now its over, or does that mean he cleared, and now any team can make a trade proposal to him?? Once a guy clears waivers any team can make a trade for that player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
