Post Sox-related rumors here.

Tim Hudson for Bronson Arroyo and Abe Alvarez.

Is this a real rumor? or are you making shit up. This would suck. I like Beer Canyon.

Don't do it. Cornrowyo is our good luck charm...

It's a rumor- read it online someplace. For the record, I'd make this trade in a heartbeat, much as I love our Canyon.

Never. Arroyo is arguably better and two years younger. If the Sox can get Hudson with someone maybe, but as it stands, no way...

Tim: 92-39 lifetime, 3.30 ERA, 1.22 WHIP Bronson: 19-23, 4.63, 1.39 WHIP Bronson did have better ratios for K/BB (3.02 to 2.34) and WHIP (1.22 to 1.26) Hudson, though, had fewer pitches, and fewer pticher per inning. Stats are at http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/stats/pitching?league=al&sort=WHIP&type=pitch3&qual=true)

The other shortstop besides Visquel (Cle) to sign was Cristian Guzman (Washington!)

From Dave Phelan, bartender at the Ritz, talking to Johnny Damon: Tek will resign here. The signing of Damian Miller (2 years $6.5 mil) was simply because the Sox will lose Mirabelli (he wants $5 mil per year somewhere) and trade Andy Dominique. Shoppach is indeed not ready, and will play all of next year in the minors unless someone gets hurt. Tek's contract will likely be three years with an option at 9 to 10 million per. Higher than the 3 year 8 mil per deal the Sox gave him, but way down from the 5 year 55 mil deal agent Scott Boras claimed was needed. No one knows why Boras iced Theo Epstein with a "no trade clause" as the Red Sox will not do this by team policy, and it will have to be dropped. Phelan is pretty legit too...

"Your not Welcome Back Kapler" The Japs want the Jew! Kapler headed to the Yomiuri Giants for 1 year at a reported $2,000,000. See [url=http://www.bostondirtdogs.com/]dirtdogs[/url] for details...

Sox will go four years for V-tek...

'Belli = resigned. Sox have offered Pedro 3 years/ 38 million. Meanwhile, he's out talkin' to the Mets.

Posted by tgl on 2004-11-29 15:33:37 +0000
Dude, I'd sign for 3yrs/38mil. Where do I sign?

Posted by dawnbixtler on 2004-11-29 15:45:42 +0000
Dude, 2 years - $3 mil? Ain't that low for Mirabelli?

Posted by frame609 on 2004-11-29 19:02:29 +0000
He got $825,000 this year, so it's almost a 100% raise. Not too shabby.

Yankees are closing in on Jaret Wright and have offered Lieber aribitration.

Sox signed Matt Mantei today, per SoSH. Setup guy from Arizona who will fill the Williamson role. Right on.

Posted by frame609 on 2004-12-09 05:20:51 +0000
Lieber to the Phillies (!) and Woody Williams to the Padres.

Look out Atlanta Braves. Here comes Filthadelphia!

Posted by frame609 on 2004-12-09 05:33:18 +0000
SoSH thinks that Pedro re-signs, and picks up a solid #5. Millwood's name is being tossed around a lot. Hmmm.....
