southsider2k5 Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 22, 2011 -> 03:32 PM) I doubt Thome even wants to go back there. 1.) The constant boos when he's returned 2.) He will want a chance to win a World Series What would be hilarious is if the Sox claimed him so that Cleveland couldn't. He is only going to cost $600k for the rest of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Buster_ESPN Buster Olney For what it's worth: Indians' organization relationship with Thome is still good, so that would not appear to be an impediment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Really impressed the Indians have been fighting to the last moment...claimed Harden on waivers but couldn't work out a deal with Beane. Wonder what happened since the Red Sox deal for him blew up over his assorted health issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whtsoxfan Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 22, 2011 -> 03:26 PM) f*** Cleveland. They don't deserve him back. How about the White Sox?.....Dunn to DL? If he's going to be put on waivers....it would tell me that he's probably going to retire after the 2011 season. If so, Cleveland would be his most likely last stop w Philly second.

Twins waive Thome; Sox could have interest Take this for what it is worth. I would love to see Jimbo back for a few games, but I hope he goes to a team with a legit chance of winning a title.

southsider2k5 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Buster_ESPN Buster Olney Early speculation among rival teams is that WASH is the team that placed claim on Wandy Rodriguez; they need a veteran SP for '12 rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Buster_ESPN Buster Olney In Rockies' internal discussions, fact that no FA will in COL came up. So they claimed Wandy, hoping he could be rotation stabilizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
