For the right price, that's a solid pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it could mean that Thornton was being looked at as the closer and Ozzie wanted 2 lefty setup men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 06:30 PM) He didn't exactly leave on the best of terms. He walked out on the team after a really bad performance (wasn't it the Cameron 4 homer game?) and pretty much burned any bridges he had in Chicago.

hogan873 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Yesterday on ESPN radio Buster Olney said he expects the Sox to go after Heath Bell for the bullpen. Obviously just his opinion, but he said if the Padres re-sign Hoffman, Bell would be expendable. I thought I heard that Hoffman may retire though.

Obviously just his opinion, but he said if the Padres re-sign Hoffman, Bell would be expendable. I thought I heard that Hoffman may retire though. Hmmm Two things, now both Putz and Konerko said one of the things that will matter to them this offseason is playing for a competitor, with the two moves made yesterday Kenny has guaranteed just that. Supposedly there is a $5m offer out for Putz. If Konerko comes back, we have a huge trading chip in Dayan Viciedo, can he get us Bell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
