Y2Jimmy0 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I was listening to Bruce Levine on with Hub Arkush tonight briefly and Bruce was talking about the Sox having some interest in Mike Leake from Cincinnati. Did anyone hear this or know anything about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Immediately thought of Kelly Leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 His numbers look good. Why would the Reds want to trade him? If we did pick him up - wouldn't that mean one more of our SP's is on the move?? Things ta make ya go hummmm..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyDo Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I can't remember the last time Levine was right about trade speculation. With all the crap he throws against the wall, you'd think SOMETHING would stick. He's the kid who put all Cs on his scantron and still got Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunt Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I'd be all for this depending on what they had to give up for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Leake has been my late round surprise pick in fantasy since 2011. Definitely would want him here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 This makes no sense unless cinci has a young starter they want to bring up. Cinci's outfield seems set so I doubt they would want ADA or Viciedo. Just makes no sense, but it is Levine spewing this s*** so go figure.

Eminor3rd Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Yeah I mean I like it when we get good players, but I can't come up with any reason this might happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I generally agree about Levine. However, I was wondering about the context of the discussion. I missed the whole first part. Are they interested? Should they be interested? What was the context of the information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harfman77 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Only would make sense if they are spinning off another SP someplace else. Leake is second year arb eligible and getting more expensive, he is pretty good, but not really what this team needs now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Feb 28, 2014 -> 11:57 AM) Only would make sense if they are spinning off another SP someplace else. Leake is second year arb eligible and getting more expensive, he is pretty good, but not really what this team needs now. This is honestly my exact thought. On paper, he's a more valuable piece than anybody the Sox would give up, but it's just not a move that makes a whole lot of sense from the Sox perspective.
