Reds...

 

[ConradCervantes]

Well, that happened.

Don't worry @raysbaseball we look forward to seeing you in Tampa in September for our home games at the Trop.

Probably late but lulz

If their evidence is so strong why are they flailing so desperately in public to get him to take a plea deal? Also, are we supposed to forget that Melky got 50 games despite obstructing that investigation?

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Feels good seeing the Dodgers have a better record than the Yankees.

Greinke and Kersh going for Azul..

Punish the pinstripes! No mercy!

I don't think I could take Kuroda beating us.

Selig is probably a member of the Tea Party.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

If Selig is ale to ban Arod for life I will forgive him for what he is doing to the As. But not the Expos.

Home-plate umpire Jerry Meals called Nava out and the Rays escaped the inning unscathed.

"Daniel Nava clearly was safe," said Red Sox manager John Farrell, who was ejected for arguing the call. "It's unfortunate. We should still be playing right now."

After seeing the replay, Meals agreed.

"What I saw was: Molina blocked the plate and Nava's foot lifted," he said. "But in the replays, you could clearly see Nava's foot got under for a split second and then lifted, so I was wrong on my decision. From the angle I had, I did not see his foot get under Molina's shin guard."

Red Sox schedule should be easier for the next 2 weeks.

Seattle, Arizona, Houston, Kansas City and Toronto.

Careful, the O's and Yankees both thought that too!

 

[The Elite]

Toronto on the easy list.

 

[Windu]

Sooo A-Rod is fucked.

don't like selig using this clause though. Hope there is not another work stoppage.

Sanjuro is in charge of the Red Sox twitter account confirmed.

 

[RumblingRosco]

I think the Cards are on their worst losing streak of the season. Make it stop bros

 

[jbug617]

Even though the ump blew the call, the Sox shouldn't have been in that position because how can Nava not score from 2nd on a double by Drew.

Edit: Peavy probably going to be scratch from his start tonight. I think more of precaution rather than a deal being close.

@JonHeymanCBS: Peavy a likely scratch for #chisox tonite reports mark gonzales of chicago tribune. makes sense w/deadline tomorrow

 

[McNei1y]

Tigers vs Nationals was my preseason World Series prediction.

 

[darkside31337]

Well my prediction of Rays - Braves WS still lives.

My predictions of the Giants and Angels winning their divisions not so much. And I get the feeling the Pirates aren't going to finish last in the Central.

 

[Malvingt2]

any hint where Peavy may land?

 

[BFIB]

Doesn't help that the bats fall silent in the toughest part of the schedule that can completely change our standings. We could be in third and down some games before this is all said and done.

First they came for Braun and the Union said nothing. Now Selig is going to shit in their mouths with a b.i.b. suspension. This is all so much better than the long drawn out legal battles I anticipated!

 

[jbug617]

Dodgers are the leaders to sign Brian Wilson.

@BNightengale: The #Dodgers have now moved ahead and are the frontrunner to sign Brian Wilson

As of right now White Sox and Cardinals are not talking Peavy

@Ken_Rosenthal: Sources: No current discussions between #STLCards and #WhiteSox on Peavy.

Phillies want Bogaerts

@nickcafardo: From every indication Phillies won't settle for anything less than Bogaerts at the head of any package for Lee

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Boegards for Lee would basically be Hanley for Beckett all over again. Wonder how the Sox will feel about that. Can any other team put together a better prospect to dangle at Philly? Who do the Dodgers have? Zack Lee probably doesn't match up to Boegarts. What Would Oakland be able to take on Lee's salary in any universe?

 

[jbug617]

Phillies call up Asche so Young probably going to be traded soon.

Also Astros scratch Norris and there is speculation he may be traded to Pittsburgh

Who do the Dodgers have? Zack Lee probably doesn't match up to Boegarts. What Would Oakland be able to take on Lee's salary in any universe?

According to Jayson Stark, the Phillies are asking the Sox for Bogaerts, Workman and a MLB ready OF (Bradley Jr probably)

Damn I thought my RTTS season was going to be right.

Phils want Bogaerts, and two more top prospects, plus the Red Sox to take the remainder of the contract?

Been a while since the Red Sox FO made a boneheaded move, do it Boston!

Pirates and White Sox talking

@thekapman: Sounds like White Sox and Pirates are getting close on a deal for Alex Rios. Cash being worked on. Not sure if they can find a middle ground

hmm

edit: beat....

 

[BFIB]

Seeing how ridiculous the White Sox GM has been the past few days, I'm guessing they'll want the Roberto Clemente Bridge thrown into the deal.

lol at being "ridiculous"

I dont see it as boneheaded at all. They would be getting a great pitcher back for 3 totally unproven guys.

 

[BFIB]

Is it worth giving up 3 top prospects and taking on the salary?

If the Phils are eating some of the money, then that changes things.

 

[jbug617]

Rangers latest

@jonmorosi: Rangers are willing to listen on "anyone," sources tell @Ken_Rosenthal and me. That includes Elvis Andrus. @FOXSports

 

[Malvingt2]

wait!!! Rangers are sellers now? the hell? lol

 

[Syrinx]

Rangers latest

Didn't they just sign Andrus to a massive contract? Who would take that on?

 

[yankeehater]

Yeah I hadnt considered the money. I still remember when the Redsox could just spend as much as they wanted to win. Does anyone know what happened to change that?

 

[Dominican Power]

Rangers are so dumb for extending Andrus when Profar is staring right at them.

 

[Dominican Power]

Boston would be dumb if they trade their top prospect.

 

[jbug617]

Bob Nightengale just said the Dodgers might be players for Cliff Lee.

 

[Syrinx]

Yeah I hadnt considered the money. I still remember when the Redsox could just spend as much as they wanted to win. Does anyone know what happened to change that?

I think they probably could if they really wanted to. I think it's just after some really bad contracts they've kinda gone against the mentality of spending indiscriminately and are trying to stay on a budget.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Brian Wilson to the Dodgers. LOL

 

[Dominican Power]

Dodgers want to buy everything. Smh

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Better than Marmol.

 

[jbug617]

D-Backs are interested in Peavy

@Buster_ESPN: The Diamondbacks have been considering Peavy for weeks, and if they get cash adjustment,they could make a deal. Towers/Peavy history strong.

 

[The Artful Dodger]

Dodgers want to buy everything. Smh

Lol

 

[BFIB]

Angels are "willing to listen" on Kendrick and Aybar. Want cost controlled pitching in return.

Wonder if the Cards are lining up something for SS? Especially now that the Rangers are putting Andrus on the market?

 

[HerbertFish]

D-Backs are interested in Peavy

And have now emerged as the favorites. They have Kubel and Kennedy to balance out the cash so assuming they have a couple top prospects they should be the favorites if cash is holding everyone else up.
