Jake Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:10 PM) Pretty s*** good deadline to be honest. Meh Good return for Peavy. No money kicked in at all so we have saved 20 million dollars and neither Rios or Alexei moved yet. Edited July 31, 2013 by Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:11 PM) I'm fine with the Peavy trade, but a few weeks ago, we were all excited to have the best starter, reliever and outfielder on the market. Only ending up with Garcia, 3 lower level guys and future considerations is not what any of us had in mind. No but the returns were also pretty unrealistic that we were thinking of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:11 PM) I think they are better players than this board or this fanbase give them credit for. Not sure why teams dont think they would be valuable to have in a playoff run. Rios is fine, but depending on the year, his bat is either near All-Star or a total noodle. That sort of thing will inspire more confidence in buyers when they're stuck with just .5 to 1 yr of paying for it.

hi8is Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 What would you all have wanted more - because these where our options... 1.) Rios + cash for nothing. 2.) Keep Rios, hope to trade him in a waiver deal, this offseason, or sometime next year. I'd been told a few days prior to the deadline that we would have to "give away" Rios. It's sad... but true.

Dick Allen Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Not a lot of deadline dealing. The Cubs did most of their work early. Other than that, really kind of quiet. I reminded me of the winter meetings when they always say this is the year there will be 1,000,000 trades and there never are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I think we'll find the market to be far more hospitable in the offseason. I assume we won't see much of Avisail this season, though, which is sort of bummer but probably a blessing in disguise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine not moving him, I've maintained that all along, he has been one of the few bright spots on offense this season and he atleast gives them a chance at something next year if his bat decides to show up.

witesoxfan Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Since this has become the deadline catch-all, the biggest loss amongst the whole deadline is not getting anything for Lindstrom.
