Official Trade Deadline Waiting/Info Room

[Prior4CyYoung]

nice job by hendry this trade deadline. Trade away barrett acquire a worse C than what we had and thats it. Thanks for the good work.

[ConstableRabbit]

I cannot believe Jim is not pulling the trigger here, Gomes and Dye are for sale with 12 minutes left and he is sitting on his hands.

 

Great. So no matter the asking price, he should just pull the trigger...

and the meltdown begins...

[Handlebar McSkullet]

ESPN's Buster Olney says the Red Sox have gotten Eric Gagne to waive his no-trade clause and join the team.

 

Papelbon & Gagne...wow. :shock:

 

and okajima, delcarmen.... oh my

[JBlaze57]

would it be possible to give more $, and therefore give less as far as prospects?

We have Kendall who is a veteran and has great career #'s..plus "brings it" every day. I'm not the least bit concerned.

i cant believe we arnt trying to get gomes.

 

and i want dye, but if I hear buster olney say "the cubs have made a deal for dye for carlos marmol" i will kill you all for willing a hendry trade.

 

Marmol better be untouchable. I'd rather trade Pie.

 

?

yes, may I help you?

 

Marmol more untouchable than Pie? That's a little crazy.

 

it isnt in the slightest.

 

Yes it is. Good bullpen arms arent really that hard to find, compared to a 5 tool outfielder who has been great at every level hes played at, while being under the league average age.

Cannot believe we're standing pat.

 

While status quo might get us in the playoffs, mentioning this team in the same breath as championship caliber (i.e. the Red Sox) is laughable.

 

Jermaine Dye pleasee!!!

[anabiono]

It's already been broughten.

[BleacherBadger]

really shouldn't have been posted 4 times. Sorry all.

[David]

I love how people assume things like

 

a) if no deal gets done, Hendry must be/have been sitting on his hands and not trying to get anything done

 

b) if no deal is announced yet, nothing is done or has gotten done

 

 

You know what they say about assumptions...

 

Can't you guys just wait and see what (if anything) is gonna happen?

[WrigleyinEngland]

Ok i'm prepeared to get stoned for this............ I would roll the dice and trade Marmol for Dye. I'm hoping on 2 things, wood comes back and lasts through the playoffs. I'm also gambling on Dye continuing to hit as he has since the all-star break. He is the best RH bat available and gives us the best chance of winning. We need some pop this year not next year and i'm sick of waiting for the prospects to pan out. I do think we could get better value for marmol in the off season but will we have the chance to win this division as we have this year? Let the stoning begin!!!

If you are in the playoffs, you are championship caliber. You don't have to be better than the other team to win 4/7.
