ESPN1000 Mark Teahen for Matt Murton?

[CuseCubFan69]

I want:

 

Fukedome RF

Bradley CF

Lee 1B

Ramirez 3B

Soriano LF

DeRosa 2B

Soto C

Theriot/Cedeno SS

[SouthSideRyan]

How about sign Fukudome for CF. Trade Murton, Fox + marginal prospect for Teahan.

 

Then trade Pie, Marshall, Cedeno and maybe another prospect for Tejada.

 

Voila!

 

Soriano LF

Fukudome CF

Lee 1b

Ramirez 3b

Tejada SS

Teahan RF

DeRosa 2b

Soto C

 

That's a line-up I could fall in love with.

 

that's way beyond out budget unless the next move is trade zambrano for prospects

 

Dumping Marquis and Dempster could cover the Tejada contract. Marshall and Gallagher/Hart/Prior to the rotation.

I've run this Teahen-Murton-Fox rumor down with both KC and Chicago sources. Unless people are misinformed or are lying to me, there appears to be nothing to it. KC says that's not enough (even with Fox, and that's presuming talks have been held). Others tell me Teahen is the KC GM's favorite player. I've also been told these talks are news to the Cubs. Rumors are just that. Rumors. Not that they're not fun, mind you.

[Mephistopheles]

good here's another rumor:

 

 

Bruce Miles and Carrie Muskat for Erin Andrews.

Run this one by the Twins people -- Marquis for Santana and cash

Can't argue that. And I'd better comment no further.

Throw in Cedeno for Mauer as well.

[Mephistopheles]

Mauer is too much of an injury risk for us in that deal. They had better compensate us with the oft-injured francisco liriano as well.

Bruce,

 

On the Kosuke thread,theyre saying that someone threw a big offer at Fukudome,Perhaps the Cubs?, and he's going to make a desiscion today..Hear anything about this?

[Mephistopheles]

Do you guys have to ask him in ten threads? dear lord let the man do his job and say something when he has something. he's not a dumbass he reads the other threads and if he thinks there is a legitimate rumor he's going to run it down because that's what he does for a living.

This post gets the dav(e) stamp of approval. Bruce sightings turn into press conferences on here, and it seems 100x worse in the offseason.

[UMFan83]

Bruce, can you tell me what is going on with the Red Sox and Yankees? Also if you could shed some light on the Barry Bonds situation.

 

Oh wait, you don't work for ESPN, nevermind.

Not yet. I'll find out by 5:30 when we meet with Jim. I've put in calls about the White Sox on this matter, too. The Tigers gave them a little ouchie yesterday.

Speaking of your 5:30 meeting with Jim, isn't it about time for the obligatory yearly announcement that Hendry has postponed his scheduled meeting with the media, leading to rampant speculation?

 

That's always one of my favorite December traditions.

White Sox fans are grilling KW up on 670 The Score and have been all day. It's been pretty entertaining.

just a little one.

[David]

The best part is that supposedly KW had told Buehrle and Dye specifically that he was going after Cabrera and Hunter in the offseason (to convince them to sign their extensions). KW was in the middle of an interview when news broke, and supposedly his phone rang right then and it was Dye asking what was up with that. Edited December 5, 2007 by David

Excellent tradition. What was the reasoning for the last postponment?

I know everyone wants to get all of their questions asked. It would be nice if people would read the other threads before posting them in unrelated threads.

I heard that as well. Pretty comical conversations taking place with WS fans. Someone from the Sun Times FINALLY came on and said the WS had 0 chance to come close to the offer from Detriot and even went on to say that they couldn't match the next best offer from the Angels.

 

And they should be thanking their lucky stars that KW didn't get Hunter for the 15 million/per that was reportedly offered by the White Sox. Talk about Soriano's contract looking bad the last few years, Hunter's would have looked worse! Instead, they're all upset that Hunter was suppose to be delivered w/ Christmas wrapping!

 

Classic!

Maybe he told Dye Cabrera meaning Orlando and then pulled the ol' switcharoo

Maybe he actually meant Melky, so maybe he can still deliver...a lump of overrated coal.
