Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Rick Hahn NOT making any trades doesn't mean he did nothing at the deadline. He has 5 or 6 players he realistically could trade. If the return isn't fair, why make a trade for the sake of making a trade. Sox fans: "...for the sake of Pete! Trade somebody! Anybody!"

Chisoxfn Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 08:43 AM) Nada. Holding my phone in case. Just saw Dodgers say they aren't unloading Kemp. Yeah right. I have long said I want Kemp but I don't see the Dodgers putting enough cash along with Kemp for it to make sense that they move him.

Well shouldn't they just give Beckham to whoever wants him? (Assuming no one wants to give anything decent) no point in keeping him. Unlike the other trade candidates, Beckham is blocking 3 other players Edited July 31, 2014 by Melissa1334 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 It would seem that Alexei is staying put. Plan to keep him around until Rondon is ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike the other trade candidates, Beckham is blocking 3 other players Except the three players he is blocking aren't really ready, so moving him just accelerates someones timeline and puts them in a situation where they may not thrive. The only reason to do that is if you get something of value back that makes such a proposition worth your while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a nice young core and a lot of flexibility and while the Sox can't blow it all in one off-season, not by a long-shot, there just isn't much value in having your payroll tied up with bloated payrolls. Keep it flexible so we can continue to target young assets, potentially even ones who we can get and then sign to longer term deals (+ allow us flexibility to extend guys that show that they fit into the new core). I really am surprised no one is out there making a decent offer for Dunn. And by Decent I mean like a #10 prospect in your system or a low A arm or bat or two. Maybe Sox don't see enough value there and figure he's off the books anyway this off-season (and in theory, you can keep him while still giving it the ole college try this year).

If you think hes getting traded, you dont put him out there and risk a freak injury. The Red Sox scratched Lester yesterday for that reason, the White Sox scratched Peavy a year ago for the same reason. If he starts, it means they are not close to a deal and he more than likely won't be dealt at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Assuming no one wants to give anything decent) no point in keeping him. Unlike the other trade candidates, Beckham is blocking 3 other players Agreed. If someone is willing to take Beckham he should be gone regardless of the return. He is absolutely terrible and is blocking some talented players at AAA. Dunn should also be traded if there is a taker because the Sox obviously aren't making the playoffs this year and he won't be part of the team going forward. With respect to the rest of the players you don't make a trade just to make a trade but if a team is willing to take Danks' contract I wouldn't need a very high return to part ways with him.

southsider2k5 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 The Chicago Homer @TheChicagoHomer 20m What if Robin Ventura walks out to the mound in the 2nd inning and just hugs John Danks for like 20 seconds and then walks back to dugout? South Side Sox @SouthSideSox 19m @TheChicagoHomer Moises Sierra would want to get in on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Even if Danks isn't traded today, it does not mean he won't be traded in August. Calm down Sox fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he starts, it means they are not close to a deal and he more than likely won't be dealt at all. This is true, the other stuff you've been saying isn't. If Danks goes out there it means they are not close to finalizing a deal. IF HOWEVER the Yanks cave and say "Okay we'll take that contract off your hands" then if John Danks is on the mound Robin will go out there and get him immediately. As long as the deadline is in effect he has a chance to be traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
