Dick Allen Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 10:20 AM) I would say have every indication you are planning on starting him, but ask for team's final and best offers Tuesday morning. If not what you have looking for, have him pitch and be done with it. If someone blows you away Wednesday before the deadline so be it. Sox could always trade him this winter to a team that doesn't want to part with the king's ransom that Price will demand. Actions speak louder than words. A week or so ago, Peavy not being a rental was one reason being pointed out he was more highly thought of than Garza. Now teams want the Sox to throw in money yada, yada...those are just words, negotiating tactics. Actually putting Peavy on the mound tomorrow if no team has stepped up enough is a clear indication if they want Jake, they better not screw around anymore as the games they are playing already cost them a start, and the White Sox won't settle.

LittleHurt05 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 10:12 AM) You are doubling the risk factors, not necessarily the total amount of risk. However the risk of him busting is pretty low as he already has made it to the majors. It is a legit top 10 prospect, top of the rotation type of guy that if you have a chance to get you have to take it. His floor now is back end of the bullpen and he could fall anywhere between there and the moon. It is pretty moot anyway as I dont think there is anyway that the Orioles would give him up for Peavy. To be fair, he's only faced 6 major league hitters so far, so that tells you very little. I realize how talented he is, but with Peavy being the top player available, I don't like taking on the risk of having to recover from surgery and being the same pitcher.

GreenSox Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) I like the Pirates offer. Hell, we can throw in Rios too. I'd like to get St Louis' back up first baseman. He'll never start for them, but we could use him in the meantime. Edited July 29, 2013 by GreenSox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 The A's offer in the BP scenario is about what I expect as a realistic return for Peavy. I'd love to get Gray though. Just keep your fingers crossed someone gets desperate and overpays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I am guessing this meant the Sox would send $4 million with Peavy? Maybe to cover the pro-rated buyout that was pushed forward from last off -season? Steve Burns @StvBurns 15h The White Sox wanted Russell, Gray and $20m for Peavy? What alternate universe are they living in? #Athletics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorStSox Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I just hope we get more for Jake than the garbage we gave up to get him. I hate prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 In my opinion, if Dylan Bundy were on the table, Peavy would already be in Baltimore. Tommy John or not. Last year he was the best starting pitching prospect in all of baseball. He's still going to be a stud. I'd take that chance and be really excited about it.

We didn't give up a single A prospect to get Peavy, except perhaps for that A ball pitcher whose control was so bad the Padres cut him a year later (and I think we resigned him). We have up the A prospects for Edwin Jackson, however, and then gave him away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Gonzales is saying the Sox are listening to final offers for Peavy, which sounds like they have no intention of starting Peavy tomorrow night. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,4850804.story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could potentially get one of the best pitching prospects in all of baseball. TJ has an 80% success rate. Bundy is a potential ace.
