Mark Buehrle

Rotoworld says Mark has been made available and the Jays will have to eat some of his $19 million salary.

 

Why not let them take John Danks off our hands for Mark, straight up, for one last season for Mark, much like Paulie's last year.

 

These last year type years will help bridge the gap until Rick and the boys can.

 

Thoughts? Any prospects match up?

It's pretty obvious and will likey be posted here 15 times... We've already got 3 LHSP, after Rodon... Four.

Hence, Mark really can't have a place with us.

 

Your solution seems to be swapping Danks for him but why on Gods green earth would Authopthos do that?

Funny this was posted on MLB Trade Rumors today...

 

The White Sox would love to move John Danks, but the $28.5MM owed to him over the next two years will be a deterrent to teams. Meanwhile, pitching coach Don Cooper still believes Danks, who has lost some of his heat, could become the second coming of Buehrle and pitch effectively in the mid-to-high 80s.

No one wants John Danks. No one. People need to get this through their heads.

What's more important, the hand a starter throws with or getting hitters out?

 

Buehrle put up a 3.39 ERA in a tough ALE division last season but hey, f*** that idea, better to sign Peavy or Masterson because they are right handed... :huh

 

I would gladly take Buerhle back depending on the cost and I can give a toss if the Sox ended up with four or even five lefties as long as they can get outs.

the sox wants pitchers or better yet, mlb players. if it is in the sox interest to get Buehrle,

they would and I would welcome it. only if Tor sweeten the deal. the sox accept the whole

Buehrle salary and plus prospect for a player who may not be in the sox future.

 

Tor need salary cap room, however they will have 87+ mil on the books. subtract Buehrle

19 mil that will put tor at 67 + mil. that is what I am hoping would entice tor to make this

trade.

Danks has just got to work on standardizing his release point, which it hasn't happened yet, isn't going to happen. He just seems to have all kinds of mechanical issues that come and go both in games and throughout the season.

Holy crap, I didn't realize how backloaded his contract was. He probably negotiated that in hopes of not getting traded. Didn't quite work out.

 

I'd be happy if the Sox got Mark back as long as the price was right, lefty/righty be damned. When Buehrle was warming up as a visitor this year, a drunk guy offered to trade Sale to get him back. That would probably get it done.

Actually, that's exactly what the Marlins have done with several people in order to get a cheap season out of them and then trade them. I still can't believe that Mark didn't see it coming.

To be fair, his claim is that ownership lied to him about not trading him.

The White Sox did this with Maggs. He was underpriced until 2004, then they tried to trade him for Nomar once he was getting paid what he should have been. It started the bad blood, but it is a pretty good strategy assuming a team is willing to pick up the contract. It can easily blow up in your face.

The sad part is the worst blood came when the Sox tried to offer him a contract even though he was injured, and then lied about not having surgery in Europe, without telling the team.

He turned them down before he was injured. When he hurt his knee and was down on the field, Ozzie told him he should have signed the extension.

 

At that point, Boras was his agent. He was done with the White Sox.

Yeah but big difference there, Ordonez was on his rookie contract so he had no real control of where he was going anyway. The White Sox could have traded him to the worst team in baseball and there's nothing he could have done about it, that's the "its a business" part.
