Not really at all. Not for the Sox anyway, not without getting something else of very high value back with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I don't think Jenks is going anywhere. The Sox would have to be overwhelmed for that to happen. It won't be as simple as Figgins for Jenks, which is a bad trade for the Sox to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Well the Reds adding $3M in payroll with the Ramon Hernandez deal can't help the odds of a Dye for Bailey swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that deal is dead, and has been. How much payroll have we dropped so far? We could realistically add less than 20 million to our payroll as it stands right now and have a better team than we had last year. And thats with adding ONE arm and ONE bat.

caulfield12 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 05:10 PM) Our current payroll is about $88M. But essentially, it's less becase of the money coming from Philly still for Thome, yes? So around $82 in actuality? Then $70 million if Dye is traded...

caulfield12 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 The Twins have had internal discussions about San Diego’s Kevin Kouzmanoff, Houston’s Ty Wigginton and Florida’s Jorge Cantu. What I couldn’t clarify is if the Twins have talked to these teams here or have scheduled talks yet. All it takes is a phone call to get something going. Cantu is only 26 but isn’t strong defensively. Was told some Twins think Kouzmanoff is fine defensively while others are skeptical. And the Twins were very interested in Wigginton in 2007. There is one report that Nick Punto met with the Phillies yesterday. If that’s true, Punto could indirectly help the Twins because he could be insurance for Chase Utley and Pedro Feliz, who are coming back from surgeries. That might help the Twins’ efforts to pry Jason Donald away. Just my theory. Was told that Phillies manager Charlie Manuel is very fond of Punto. Jack Wilson remains somewhere on the Twins radar, although the Pirates are in no rush to move him and likely would want a couple decent young players in return. And the Twins aren’t the only team grimacing at Wilson’s salary. Ron Gardenhire will meet the press at 6 pm CST. There are a lot of people here who think Twins’ first-round pick Aaron Hicks is an uber prospect. Some still think highly of him as a pitcher - he did hit 97 on the gun as a senior in high school. The Twins drafted him as an outfielder. Boof Bonser has hired a trainer again this offseason and is working out - again. The Twins’ medical staff is being kept up to date on his progress. Several teams have asked about Bonser, who could get another shot to start if traded. Torii Hunter will hold a press conference here at 1:15 pm - with Andre Agassi. The two are hooking up on a youth charity initiative. Can’t wait to see those two bald heads next to each other. startribune.com The market for Ben Sheets apparently is 2 years, $26 million, guaranteed, and the Yankees are preparing to make an offer in that neighborhood. Anyone interested? That's a bigger commitment than we had on the books to Javy for a much better pitcher (when healthy), but one without Javy's durability.

caulfield12 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune....-wood-appe.html Has this become official yet?

Well, at least it's only two years. I certainly wouldn't sign Jon Garland to that same contract, even though that's probably what he is asking for, too. I guess the positive with Garland is that he's Type B...but still. And either one of these deals would be better than taking on Peavy's contract. By the way, when is Ozzie's press conference with the media? It was moved back to today from Monday.
