This could be bull considering it's a new twitter account but FWIW.

 

#RedSox‬ Kevin Youkilis & Cash Considerations traded to ‪#WhiteSox‬ for Matt Thornton & PTBNL. ‪#MLB‬

Clicking the link, I get that this page doesn't exist. Is this legit?

Better Matty than a young arm, I suppose. Neutral move for the future, risky move for the present.

 

Can't deny I'm happy to see the end of Thornton n a White Sox uniform replacement be damned. #mentalmidget

He might be the best non-closing relief pitcher we've ever had, though he certainly is regressing as he is pretty old now

That plus he is expensive.

From that same Twitter account

 

#RedSox Kevin Youkilis on the trade: "I knew my time in Boston was over; that I wasn't part of the future here anymore."

 

That twitter account has two tweets and 8 followers.

 

Sounds non-legit.

Yeah, but I feel like he offers the team something, even if we had to use him in lower-leverage situations.

 

I am just really afraid Youk will offer us absolutely nothing.

if you go to the twitter page from the radio station, it is spelled differently and mentions nothing about youk

 

I dont see it being spelled differently. But I am listening to the station right now.

It all depends on how much money we get if this is even legit. I have no idea if it is.

Not only that, but you would hope to get more back for Thornton if you trade him at the deadline.

How do the White Sox make a trade for Youkilis if they can't take on cash (in other words, buy him from Boston) and don't have much to offer in terms of minor league talent if they can't just take on the contract?

 

Don't the White Sox have to trade money for money?
