#RedSox aren't among the teams on Wandy Rodriguez, source says. #Astros

 

2 and a half hours to go...

[BornToRun]

Garza talks heating up

We already got Avila, who should be a good back up for Pedroia, Scutaro, or Youk.

Garza talks heating up

 

What? I haven't heard Garza mentioned anywhere.

[BornToRun]

What? I haven't heard Garza mentioned anywhere.

 

Guys on SOSH are talking about it. Apparently NESN mentioned it along with MLBN radio.

[AtWork]

What? I haven't heard Garza mentioned anywhere.

 

That's because Garza talk is non-existent right now.

[Thunder]

No Garza!!! Please.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

No Garza!!! Please.

 

Um, why? Unless it's because you can't stand his constant spitting on the mound then I really don't understand.

[AtWork]

Nick Cafardo on NESN: "Shocked if Buchholz pitches again this year." #redsox

 

We need a pitcher, not a belly itcher!

[Cocos Disciples]

That doesn't surprise me. So if the Sox don't add a starter, Lackey is a lock to be in the playoff rotation, with perhaps a #4 of Wakefield/Miller. That's brutal.

[Dojji]

If I was the Sox, I'd give another look to a couple of the AAA guys, especially Doubront and Weiland, to see if they could help in the playoffs if called upon to do so. Maybe even go as far as to give Tony Pena, Jr. an audition, I've heard good things about his stuff down in Pawtucket.

[BornToRun]

We will land a top pitcher, Theo won't sit here scratching his balls for the next 2 hours.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

No thanks.

[Rdsxmbnt]

I like Garza but I wouldn't trade WMB for him

[BornToRun]

I would give up Will for him.

[BornToRun]

Bell to Rangers it seems.

[AtWork]

Crisp and Willingham are staying in Oak.

[SoxFanForsyth]

This trade deadline sucks

[BornToRun]

Seems we're looking more at bullpen guys. I hope this isn't the case.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Apparently you better score on the Rangers in the first 6 innings.

[redsoxbeatz]

Who are the Red Sox going after? I've lost track after all these fails.

 

Buchholz, please come back! Hopefully he'll make a September 1st debut.

[BornToRun]

What are the odds we hear about a "Holy s***" Nomar-esque deal?

Not entirely far off, with the lack of movement and the lack of options, this is the kind of deadline where that s*** happens.

If someone can do it, it's Epstein. I can see Theo gutting the farm for a grade A pitcher, and I can see myself being fine with it.

[AtWork]

This is starting to feel like the 2006 trade deadline.

[BornToRun]

We're still in on Bedard apparently.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Rangers get Adams, not Bell.

[BornToRun]

Verlander stealing the deadline's thunder.

[Dojji]

Considering all the truly fatal damage in 06 happened after the deadline, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

 

I don't think picking up a true #1 SP woulda helped us that year.

 

Dark horse acquisition: Carlos Zambrano. Cubs want to clear the contract, he's an innings machine, won't kill your prospect pool because his stock isn't at its highest.
