Deal for Soriano or Dunn close?

[Electron Blue]

I would just love to be a fly on the wall in the war room on trade deadline weekend.

 

They couldn't let you in there, you'd see the big board.

 

Gentlemen, there's no fighting in the war room.

Best movie ever. (By far.)

Per Offman(not sure how reliable he is)- Cubs have shifted gears from soriano and dunn and are now pursuing huff from tampa.

Hold on while I change my now soiled pants.

Maybe this just means Hendry wants in on his own 3-way for Manny w/TB and Boston... :twisted: :D

 

I can dream, can't I? 8)

I am just happy that it sounds like there will be an upgrade in LF. I really do not care who it is because just about anyone being rumored is an upgrade from what we have right now. I just hope something pans out.

If we're talking about someone Dusty will play over Holly, then yes.

 

I still think Murton should get a shot until he proves he can't handle it, unless of course a monster should come our way (Huff, ManRam).

Can't you just see Dusty not playing Huff or someone right away?

 

"We've got to ease the dude in, man. I mean, he doesn't have any experience in our ballpark, and that's big, dude."

[Rooftop Bum]

If Hendry makes a trade for someone to play LF Dusty will have to play that person. Unless he truly wants to be canned.

I say with a fair about of honesty that Dusty would by lynched if he benched Huff. We'd HAVE to find a new manager after that fiasco.

Dusty started Enrique F. Wilson. Nothing's impossible ...

Sometimes I wonder if that isn't what Dusty actually wants.

Bad choice of words, there.

 

But I agree that Dusty would be in deep trouble if he did that.

I am as well however, it must be LF and not 2B as I've read of Walker going to Texas in a Soriano deal. Walker' a consistent hitter, Soriano one day, he'll go 4-4 the next 0-4 with 3K's, the Cubs don't need this type of hitter at the cost of Walker.

Then he'd be (Todd)Walker, Texas Ranger.

i don't really want huff that much.

Same.. I'm just hoping our interest in him is purely to ship him to Bos for Manny...

[CubinNY]

According to WESPN 1050 in NY. Boston and Tampa Bay are close to a deal that would send Huff to Boston for AAA catcher Kelly Shopish

Shoppach. Interesting. I wonder if that's a precursor to another deal if true.

I have a hard time believing LaMar would give Huff up for Shoppach alone. He is too stingy.

Man, first Bigbie, now Huff for Shoppach? Much better the second time around.

[Rusch33]

Will Carroll just updated baseballprospectus and he said that we have basically shut down on trade talks.

Update (Per Rotoworld.com via ESPN)

 

Alfonso Soriano - 2B - Rangers

 

ESPN's Jayson Stark believes the Twins have a chance of acquiring Alfonso Soriano from the Rangers using J.C. Romero, Kyle Lohse and Bret Boone.

The Mets and Cubs also remain possibilities for Soriano, although the best guess now is that he remains a Ranger until the offseason. Jul. 30 - 6:44 pm et

Yeah I heard about that on ESPNews, it'd be a rental for the Twins, and they'd either trade him or non tender him in the offseason.
