Trade Deadline Thread

[PissedPrincess]

As you guys know, my home computer is still down, so I need someone to keep the trade news going on in here for us. I can't believe I won't be able to post this weekend!:angry:

Please post any news. Anyone. Thanx.:)

[BostonRedSox58]

I'll post what I find.

Apparently that whole Lowell for Peavy thing was a crock, unfortunately. We would have sacrificed some defense for a great young pitcher having a bad year.

[Blue56]

Lidle and Leiber have been mentioned plenty of times, Nixon may be moved, but I doubt Boston pulls any crazy moves, like landing Willis or even Zito.

[I Are Baboon]

Apparently the Phillies want Jon Lester or Craig Hansen for Leiber.

:laff:

Are the Phillies out of their friggin minds? No wonder they suck.

[Royce]

They want Hughes (or other top prospects) for Leiber from us even though supposedly we'd pick up his entire salary, same with Abreu.

[Eva]

Does Pat Gillick have any idea what he's asking for? Asking for Hughes for Abreu when it's obvious Abreu a salary dump, which mean you won't get the same amount of talent for Abreu. Who would want that salary, including that ridiculous option and give up their top prospect(s)?

Lieber and Lidle stink. Lieber has lose velocity on his pitches while Lidle a journeyman pitcher, who took a shot at Barry Bonds earlier this season. That was the highlight of Lidle's career. Two worthless pitchers that nobody should give up top of the line prospect for. I sure hope neither of them end up on the Sox.

So far the only interesting rumor I heard would be the Sox's interest in Rockies' Ryan Shealy. Otherwise, I hope no deal happens with the Phillies since they got junk beside the young players, who are not moving.

[Blue56]

Coco Crisp has been made available.

[BostonRedSox58]

Coco Crisp has been made available.

Crisp for Buerhle was denied by the White Sox

[Thedatch]

who would we put in center if coco gets traded?

bring someone up from AAA?

[Blue56]

I think they would want a CC and a 3rd or 4th starter pitcher in return.

[Eva]

Heard of Pena? ;)

[Thedatch]

Heard of Pena? ;)

pena play center field? I dunno about that. He doesn't really have great speed to catch up to balls like crisp does.

How good is his defense anyway? I've seen him play like 3 times in the outfield.

[Royce]

Crisp for Buerhle was denied by the White Sox


Why would the Red Sox do that, Buerhle has been TERRIBLE recently.

[Eva]

He actually played quite a few games in CF while Crisp was down earlier this season and he did a solid job out there. RF in Fenway is the toughest RF in all of MLB. Pena looked silly out there this year and don't think he'll get better. Pena's defense is not great or good, but for the type of bat you expect him to have. Plug him into CF and you might get average fielding from him there.

[Blue56]

If you thought Manny was bad as an outfield, then you don't want to see Pena play out there every game.

[Blue56]

I doubt it'll happen but what about landing a pitcher like Maddux? too old? What about Miguel Batista? Too unconsistant in the AL? Livan Hernadez, Tony armas jr??

[Blue56]

I read somewhere today that Pittsburgh asked about Youkilis, like thats going to happen.

[Eva]

I doubt it'll happen but what about landing a pitcher like Maddux? too old? What about Miguel Batista? Too unconsistant in the AL? Livan Hernadez, Tony armas jr??
He's bad enough in the NL. Let's not even discuss how bad he'll be in the NL.

Livan Hernadez got nothing. Just like the rest of the pitchers you mention.

Like everyone said, there's nothing good out in the market. Since it's supply and demand, teams are asking for a ridiuclous amount of players in return for these medicore level pitcher. No thanks, I rather go with medicore pitchers in organization. At least that won't cost us prospects.

[BostonRedSox58]

Red Sox acquired Bryan Corey from the Rangers.

BOSTON -- As Red Sox Nation gears up for a potential blockbuster deal leading up to Monday's 4 p.m. ET trade deadline, general manager Theo Epstein made a much quieter transaction on Sunday, acquiring right-handed reliever Bryan Corey from the Rangers for right-handed prospect Luis Mendoza.
Corey was designated for assignment on July 25 so that the Rangers could clear a roster spot for Adam Eaton.

After being recalled from Triple-A on June 9, Corey, 32, put up solid numbers. In 16 outings, he was 1-1 with a 2.60 ERA. Over 17 1/3 innings, Corey registered 13 strikeouts and allowed 15 hits.

"I got my first win [at Fenway] and got my first loss there. I'm excited," Corey said. "I'm going to miss it here. But they're excited to have me. I really wanted to stay in this [playoff race] atmosphere."

To make room for Corey on the 40-man roster, the Red Sox shifted Matt Clement to the 60-day disabled list.

[I Are Baboon]

World Series here we come. That will put us over the top just like the Mike Remlinger and Chad Bradford trades did.

[Royce]

:lmao:

[Mr. Met on Pot]

Sean Casey just went to the tigers

[redsfan]

The Reds made 2 moves so far this morning. They traded Justin Germano for Rheal Cormier. They also picked up Lohse from the Twins for Zach Ward. I hope they did not make a mistake by giving Ward up for a sub par pitcher. Ward was tearing up in the minors.

[PissedPrincess]

Well, the deadline is about over. Thanx guys for taking care of this thread. I'm not getting my hopes up for anything.

[Thedatch]

I wasn't really expecting much...:notme:

with so little out there, the sox would have to give up way too much to get something halfway decent. I wonder if the sox were at all in negotiations with the phillies for abreu and...crap, I forgot the pitcher's name?

[PissedPrincess]

Lidle. Not likely.

Unless we coulda got Andruw Jones or Willis, it's better to keep our prospects. We won't go far this year, but we will better next.

[Baseball Guru]

Sox are apparently close to getting Kip Wells before the deadline.... Not sure why?

[PissedPrincess]

I'm hearing Kip Wells rumors. God help us. If we get this guy, we can break out our football jerseys.:angry:

[PissedPrincess]

Sox are apparently close to getting Kip Wells before the deadline.... Not sure why?

Jinx.:)

I will seriously walk up to Fenweay right now and kick Theo in the balls if he trades for this stiff.

[PissedPrincess]

Wow, WEEI just said this is a done deal pending a physical. OMFG.:no: Has Theo completely lost his mind? There is no word on compensation yet, but a bag of balls would be too much.

This is a complete and utter disaster.

[Baseball Guru]

I dont get it either:notme:

[BostonRedSox58]

Kip Wells is kind of useless, but not much worse than Corey Lidle.

Clemens has said "I wish I went to boston" damn right you did, dummy.

The Andruw Jones trade is DOA, Red Sox will not part with Lester/Hansen.

[PopTop]

Clemens has said "I wish I went to boston" damn right you did, dummy.When and where did he say this? Got a link to some article are were you reading that Jimmy Megliola 'crap on Houston' article in the Boston Herald last week? LINK (http://redsox.bostonherald.com/otherMLB/view.bg?articleid=150123)

[PissedPrincess]

Kip Wells is kind of useless, but not much worse than Corey Lidle.



Corey Lidle is a freakin ACE compared to Wells.:(

[BostonRedSox58]

Corey Lidle is a freakin ACE compared to Wells.:(

Not really, they're about equal, look at their past stats.

Wells is having a bad year, but so is Jake Peavy and he's a great pitcher.

and PopTop, it was said by friends of Clemens in other articles, not that one.

[PopTop]

and PopTop, it was said by friends of Clemens in other articles, not that one.Oh, ok, 'friends of Clemens,' now I know it's hard fact.

:hmm:

[PissedPrincess]

Oh, ok, 'friends of Clemens,' now I know it's hard fact.

:hmm:

Listen my fellow Scorpio, lighten up on the guy. For some unknown reason, the Clemens regrets not going to a contender rumor has been all over the news here like every second for the past 48 hours.

He is just talking in a Sox thread about what he has been hearing. Sean Mcadam has been screaming about it all morning, trying to get attention.:)

[BostonRedSox58]

Oh, ok, 'friends of Clemens,' now I know it's hard fact.

:hmm:

Relax.

[Baseball Guru]

The Wells deal (luckily for Sox fans) may be in jeopardy at the moment... Not sure why but thats what they are saying on ESPN news...

[PissedPrincess]

Relax.

Hey! I just stood up for you, let it go. Pops is a good guy.:)

Let's save our energy for being pissed that we haven't done shit to upgrade this team. :Puter:

[PissedPrincess]

The Wells deal (luckily for Sox fans) may be in jeopardy at the moment... Not sure why but thats what they are saying on ESPN news...

Please Oh God let this be true.

[BostonRedSox58]

All they need right now is:

1 more reliever
1 solid starter

We got a reliever to replace Tavarez( I hope)

Why haven't they traded Clement/Foulke? Maybe everyone hates them as much as I do. Those 2 need to go.

Yes, but we didn't get that reliever or starter. They haven't traded Clement or Foulke because they SUCK. No one wants them.

[Baseball Guru]

Isnt Foulke still on the DL?

[Thedatch]

Isnt Foulke still on the DL?

so is clement.

and who would want them? seriously

[PissedPrincess]

Isnt Foulke still on the DL?

Woohoo! Wells to Texas!!!!!!!!!!!! :cheer:

Oh, about Foulke, yeah. He had a rehab stint cut short yesterday.

[PissedPrincess]

so is clement.

and who would want them? seriously

Well, someone wanted Kip Wells and his 6.69 ERA. :laff:

[Thedatch]

Well, someone wanted Kip Wells and his 6.69 ERA. :laff:

but people who want kip wells have nothing to offer anyway :tongue:

[PissedPrincess]

I wonder where Soriano is gonna end up?

[Baseball Guru]

Kip Wells went to Texas?

Hearing that the Yanks just got Craig Wilson from the Pirates for Chacon..

[PissedPrincess]

Kip Wells went to Texas?

Hearing that the Yanks just got Craig Wilson from the Pirates for Chacon..

Yep. Jesus the Pirates got raped there.

[BostonRedSox58]

How do the Yankees keep fleecing teams? Craig Wilson for Shawn Chacon!

Does Steinbrenner have thugs with guns at Pittsburgh and Philly's GM offices!?

[PissedPrincess]

Apparantely. :angry:

[BostonRedSox58]

Wow, it just baffles me. They should have at least got a prospect, due to how bad Chacon is.

[PissedPrincess]

Well goddamn it, it looks like we didn't do a goddamn thing. :Puter:

[PopTop]

Listen my fellow Scorpio, lighten up on the guy. For some unknown reason, the Clemens regrets not going to a contender rumor has been all over the news here like every second for the past 48 hours.Hmmm, and not one mention in Houston.

But you're right, I'll lighten up in the Sox58 guy. Forgot this was the "Anything Goes Against Clemens" Message board ;)

[PissedPrincess]

:doublefin

[PissedPrincess]

THANX FOR NOTHING THEO!!!!!!!!!!:angry:

[BostonRedSox58]

Trades are still being reported, maybe Theo did do something.

But there will be the waiver lines, where we can get another reliever.

[Blue56]

So much for upgrading our pitching staff....

[PissedPrincess]

Well, I'm on my way home now where my Computer is down. See everyone tomorrow. I am truly disgusted and disappointed that the Sox did nothing to help improve this team.:(

[Blue56]

And for the record, I would not go for Clemens even though he really wants to come to Boston. When he had the oppertunity to come when he was a free agent, he choose Houston, so too bad.

[Thedatch]

are you kidding blue? clemens' ERA is like 2.02 or something! even if his era takes a hit in the AL, it would still be 3.00ish realistically. I would take him for sure.

only problem is, we would have to give up too much to get him, so that's why I wouldn't do it.

but if clemens wanted to come here, I'd friggen take him.

Exactly my point, Houston would want to much. Would you be able to give players like Lester, hansen etc for Clemens?

[Thedatch]

oh, I thought you were saying something like: I wouldnt want Clemens because of spite...aka, he didnt come here before, so he hurt my feelings, lol.

I agree with you, I wouldn't make a deal for clemens if that meant giving up lester/hansen.

[I Are Baboon]

It sounds like every team the Sox spoke to wanted one of your three young pitchers. I'm glad to we didn't part with any of them only to end up missing the playoffs anyway.

[redsfan]

It sounds to me like a lot of the Sox fans are getting too worried too soon. Your pitching may not be great, but your hitting is. You have 3 solid starters which is what you will need in the post season. And don't forget you still have Ortiz. He can carry a team with his bat. He has done it before and can do it again. They are still my pick to come out of the American league. I would like to see a repeat of the '75 series.

[Thedatch]

im not worried.

im also not convinced the sox will miss the playoffs.

[Blue56]

im not worried.

im also not convinced the sox will miss the playoffs.
You mean your not worried at this point that we have tavaerez, seanez in our bulpen who are always put at the wrong time?Our starters; Curt Schilling :thumbsup: Beckett--doing pretty good, Wakefield--doing good, Lester---good but control problems, and our 5th starters;
Clement :eek: Wells--hurt too many times, Snyder :eek: Johnson :eek: If we don't win this division we may say goodbye to the playoffs. Then again there's the waiver deals.

[Thedatch]

should I be worried?

aren't we leading the division?

haven't the white sox struggled a lot recently, all but giving up the wild card?

no, I'm not worried, because we have Hansen, DelCarmen, Papelbon, and Foulke coming back soon.

[Blue56]

LOL, we're leading by like half a game, and if we lose tonight, we're tied.

[BostonRedSox58]

I'm sure Tavarez is going to be gone, and Seanez's ERA is below 4 now, so he's doing better.

We also have Kason Gabbard and Craig Breslow.

[Blue56]

The fact is, this is not a team that can win it all again.

[Thedatch]

The fact is, this is not a team that can win it all again.

and it won't be, regardless of what deal we would have made this trade deadline.

[BostonRedSox58]

Yeah, I have the feeling the Red Sox may fall out of it now.

It's okay because at the beginning of the year, I was 100% content with the Red Sox getting rid of all the veterans and building a team of rookies (like the Marlins)

as long as we have ortiz, we are always in the game.

im not giving up on this season just yet, as it seems like some of you may be.

[Yankeesfan27]

Their giving up because they see the Yankees coming. Not to mention the Twins. And if the White Sox can pull their **** back together. ;)

But in all seriousness, I was really surprised Theo didn't do anything.

[Blue56]

Even with the waiver-wire, the pitcher/player has to pass like 28 teams before reaching Boston, no? And don't you think that the yankees will try and snatch anyone that interests Boston?

[Royce]

I've been hearing that there was a trade in line that would've sent Clemens to Boston barring clearence by Houston's owner; he said no. Also I heard that they were going to get Andruw Jones to trade to Houston for Oswalt. None of these trades went through, obviously.

[milky_way]

im not giving up on this season just yet, as it seems like some of you may be.
And you shouldn't. The White Sox are falling on thier ass in an epic way.

It'd be great if both the Yanks and Boston make the playoffs just so everyone can point and laugh at the Central :laff:

[Eva]

milky, don't forget the Twins.

I find it funny most Sox fans are saying the Sox are done, because V-tek down. How about we act that way if Mann or Ortiz went down since their offense would be a gaping hole in our line-up.

Main problem at the moment is how awful the bullpen been lately. Hansen let the game out of hand again. That's one of the major problems in recent weeks. Heck, Jason Johnson did ok by going 5.2, basically 6 innings, and allowing 3 runs. Can't ask more than that for the six starter.

[Thedatch]

apparently the sox were in talks with just about everyone, trying to get a major deal going. Like...seriously everybody! but everyone was asking for lester and hansen, and papelbon, and the sox, correctly, said screw that.

I'd rather we make no trades now than mess up our club for the cuture. because lester, hansen, delcarmen, papelbon...all these guys are gonna be amazing really soon. lester has already shown it, so has papelbon. these guys are our future, and we shouldnt trade them away just so we can maybe win this year.

[Thedatch]

And you shouldn't. The White Sox are falling on thier ass in an epic way.

It'd be great if both the Yanks and Boston make the playoffs just so everyone can point and laugh at the Central :laff:

I would laugh so hard if that happened...it's very possible too
