I would also take Ian Kennedy back if I had to

I agree. Plus, Kubel and Kennedy are both guys who have shown success in the past, so its not of the question that they both remember how to play good baseball again next year either.

 

I actually really love the idea of Kubel and Kennedy coming back to the Sox as throw ins to balance out cash in the deal (Overall, I think the D-Backs would have to add 4-5 million to their payroll which is certainly doable for them regardless of what they say). Could turn out to be moves that really help the team next year, and if they suck, it's only one year of Kubel and you can dump Kennedy.

I think the D-backs can keep their cash and up the return in prospects.

This might be a bad suggestion, but would it make any sense to package De Aza in a package with Peavy to ARI if it got Adam Eaton back as one of the prospects? Something like:

 

Peavy and De Aza for Kubel, Kennedy, Eaton, Owings, and Holmberg

 

I don't know, probably unrealistic and I am just coming up with random ideas because I've fallen in love with Eaton as a prospect.

I like Towers as the guy we can get to overpay.

 

He does have some major league ready pieces with not place to play them. Owings and Davidson should be up but are blocked by Hill, Gregorious and Prado for the forseeable future.

#Pirates and #WhiteSox have at least discussed the parameters of a trade in which Jake Peavy and Alexei Ramirez

would come to Pittsburgh in exchange for Jameson Taillon, Alex Dickerson and at least one other prospect. #MLB #BUCN 29 minutes ago

Anyone report this yet. That would be one hell of a get!!

finally a reason to be excited again.

 

Something is going to happen other than the games.

 

Quite frankly, the Sox are in a better position right now than being an 83-85 win team, "competing".

Really, I don't buy this at all. Go watch a game and repeat that.

In a sense I think we are, the years of KW "rebuilding on the fly" left this club (at least IMO) feeling like there was no direction. It was watching the ChiSox dwindle in mediocrity and without no hitters and perfect games and deadline deals they were actually really disappointing to watch for repeating the same mistakes in player choice. At least now there is a direction of finding guys that are talented and close to the majors and attempting to ACTUALLY rebuild.
