Didn't mention White Sox SFGiants and Mariners have discussed Brandon League, sources confirm. Still not clear where he is going. MLBONFOX Morisi still trying yo find where confirms talks between SEA and SF. Guess well know for sure once this game ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitekrazy Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 02:55 PM) The one man rumor mill lives on! If Floyd is going somewhere it better be for a substantial piece back, I would be nervous with our current rotation minus Gavin. But who knows, the Liriano move could mean the Sox are offering Humber or Floyd to the highest bidder. That could backfire. Coop has to fix Liriano on the fly instead of Spring training.

The Ultimate Champion Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I wonder how many M's fans like to rearrange the letters in Mike Carp's last name to spell Mike Crap. I'd prolly do that if I rooted for the Mariners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams was quoted as stating that the Sox have identified some quick modifications to make that will yield immediate results. Seeing Cooper work his magic before ( since... What... Loiza??? ) I wouldn't doubt it one bit. Bring it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightengale?...Buster?...Rosenthal? Night has very good sources within the White Sox organization. Not as good in other areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the big points of Liriano is he provides the Sox with a lot more depth in the rotation. He might also provide them with a front line pitcher (depending on if he pitchdes up to his capabilities). But the big thing is he's a quality arm that gives the Sox the ability to rest Q/Sale and/or sustain another injury to the rotation. In a perfect scenario, the Sox have 7 good starters (with Humber, Liriano, Q, Floyd, Danks, Peavy, and Sale). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Morosi @jonmorosi Brandon League warming up, per @shannondrayer. That would suggest no trade imminent. 5:18pm - 29 Jul 12 Shannon is a beat writer for SEA. Maybe if this doesn't happen soon, Seattle is waiting to see how Gavin does tonight before they pull the trigger on the blockbuster that brings Felix and League!! The more it drags on the better maybe. And clearly this is wishful thinking but who the heck knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank_Thomas Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Per MLBTR: 2:36pm: The Giants have serious interest in Jonathan Broxton, Jim Bowden of ESPN.com and MLB Network Radio reports (on Twitter). Interest on Broxton is picking up and there's a 60-70% chance he'll be traded by the deadline, ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick reports (on Twitter). Maybe they have moved on from League, either because of his outing today or maybe cause they told him he is no longer available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) Could a deal be structured in such a way that a player would be included after the season ends? They sometimes have the "Player to be Names later", so couldn't they structure a deal for "King" Felix that included Quintana, but not until after the season. The sox would have Danks back next year, and if they resigned Liriana, they would have 3 lefties in Danks, Sale and Liriana. They wouldn't need Quintana. Quintana is exactly the kind of cost controlled young pitcher that should appeal to the Mariners. What good in Hernandez to them now that they aren't competitive? He will cost them $39 Million, over the next 2 years. The Sox could afford to pay him that money, if they don't pick up Peavy's option. It isn't nearly such a big risk to pay a stud pitcher that kind of money for a couple of years. The contracts that are scary are the long term deals, especially for pitchers. Do you think that the Mariners would be intersted in Floyd and Quintana for "King Felix"? Edited July 30, 2012 by Lillian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 PTBNL can't be traded within the same league. For some reason I always thought they couldn't be on the major league roster, but I guess they technically can be. It turns out on time, a player was traded for himself (he ended up being the PTBNL).
