Buehrle>Wood Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Yeah, 0% chance of that actually happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) Cuz Konerko could never hit a postseason grand slam. Edited October 6, 2011 by Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because someone is claimed doesn't mean he'll get traded (obviously). What if AZ had claimed Konerko and offered a package that couldn't be turned down?

Kenny submitted a list of who he wanted to Arizona. That is a step past Arizona just making an offer. You don't do that unless you are actually willing to move the guy.

That would have been a brilliant trade if he could have gotten Goldschmidt to go along with some of the great pitching the Diamondbacks have in their minor league system.

Konerko understands the business, and if he were traded for an awesome package he'd understand. Captain or no captain, if you can get some good, young talent, you do it.

Captain or no captain, if you can get some good, young talent, you do it. And I heard he has a 16,000 sq ft. home in Scottsdale, so he would be heading home. He thought about going to AZ last offseason anyway, so I doubt he would be too upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain or no captain, if you can get some good, young talent, you do it. The interview with PK showed he understood that. And if Kenny wasn't at all willing to deal him, he would have just pulled him off of waivers and not talked to the Dbacks at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am crushed but I accept and respect your opinion and right to post it I have no problem with everyone posting their own opinion, but posting in a thread about Konerko on waivers how "KW should be placed on waivers" just derails the thread. No beef with you personally though elrockin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 6, 2011 -> 02:09 PM) Kenny submitted a list of who he wanted to Arizona. That is a step past Arizona just making an offer. You don't do that unless you are actually willing to move the guy. It would be interesting to see the list, to see if there was actually a chance AZ would say yes. Just about any other team, Reading the article, any other team other than AZ, even if they agree, Paulie probably uses his no trade rights.

kitekrazy Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I don't know why people freak out over this. Imagine if you could see the lists from every team, some names you would find it surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev211 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I'd be more upset with Kenny if he didn't put Konerko on waivers and see if he could get something for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
