Decent veteran arm. Will surely depend on who we gave up to evaluate this deal. Myers himself should be a useful arm out of the pen. Closing experience, starting experience and still only 31 years old.

That would have made sense, but I think the fact that they just promoted him makes me think he's not involved.

Yeah, I forgot that they just promoted him. I am just hoping it's someone I don't care about. For some reason, I love Saladino and would hate to see him traded.

Rosenthal is about as good as it gets in baseball. I couldn't care less if CSN says the Sox haven't confirmed it.

Doesn't mean the deal isn't done. All it means is that the White Sox have yet to make an official press release.

I'll guess Andy Wilkins and Matt Heidenreich.

That's awfully optimistic. I don't expect Myers to hold much value, but what would be the point of them trading for those two? Maybe Heidenreich and someone with a bit more value than Wilkins. The Sox have a history of trading guys soon after a promotion to try and improve the player's value though.

Somebody tweeted that Myers father told him his son got traded to the White Sox. It's happening.

Well, I'm 100% sure KW talked to Gavin about him.

 

 

■11:$7M, 12:$11M, 13:$10M club option ($3M buyout)

 

A commitment of $6.5-7 million dollars, with that buyout. One would think we didn't give up much at all to clear that buyout from their payroll obligations.

 

So we have buyouts now for Peavy, Youkilis, Thornton and Myers now.
