Better be Dylan Bundy or Kevin Gausman

 

[MakMan44]

Weird turn of events

I'd guess Hunter Harvey. Still far away, hurts the least for the O's.

 

[glennhoffmania]

I'm going to Ubaldo.  He has the kind of contract this FO can stomach.

That better be a joke.
 
Edit:  I mean Gonzalez being a piece.  Should only be a throw in to make the money work or something.

 

[SouthernBoSox]

Things are getting weird.
 
Who saw Lester being flipped for pitching???

 

[jsinger121]

No thanks on Miguel Gonzalez. Been there done that.

 

[StuckOnYouk]

Ubaldo? Miguel? Hell no

 

[BornToRun]

We better get more than friggin' Miguel Gonzalez.

 

[nvalvo]

Gonzalez has some ugly FIPs. 

 

[Red(s)HawksFan]

Anyone else thinking there's probably a third team involved here?

 

[PaulinMyrBch]

Anyone else thinking there's probably a third team involved here?

Marlins in a few months...

 

[StuckOnYouk]

I'd prefer a pitcher to hitter as 3 of top 4 prospects are hitters, it would diversify things a bit

 

[Sox and Rocks]

I'm hoping the "could involve" part of the tweet is mere speculation

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Hell no. If he stays in the division to kill us 5 times a year, it better bea huge haul. Adam Jones or Machado huge.

 

[SouthernBoSox]

I actually think it's probably encouraing they are going inside the division, you'd assume it means they got what they wanted.

I am told #Orioles do not have deal for Lester or anything close. Still working mainly on small things

 

[Red(s)HawksFan]

Hell no. If he stays in the division to kill us 5 times a year, it better bea huge haul. Adam Jones or Machado huge.

 
The Red Sox have two more series with the O's this year.  So at most, he'll kill us twice.  Then probably move on elsewhere.

[StuckOnYouk]

I love the theory though that u take a prospect from a division rival and it hurts the Yankees and the orioles won't be signing him

 

[MakMan44]

Yeah, which is why Miguel is such a weird name to be thrown out there. 

 

[SouthernBoSox]

Hell no. If he stays in the division to kill us 5 times a year, it better bea huge haul. Adam Jones or Machado huge.

Seriously? This is for 2 months.  They are in a GFIN mode with the Yankees and Red Sox down, but Adam Jones and Machado? Take a time out.

Dizzying stuff I'd love to see behinds the scenes on this

Phones must be slow if Cherington has time to troll SOSH.

 

[nvalvo]

Probably press speculation?

 

[MetSox1]

The Bowden tweet makes me feel like a deal with the Orioles is already done.

So in other words, your last three threads suck.

Is his source Brian Cashman standing on a ledge?

If it's the Orioles, it's not a 2 month rental. The holdup could be the extension.

I really hope so.

Or you know once at most since we have only 1 series remaining against the Os.

boo hoo buddy

He's just screwing with us.  The bastard.

Guy. Seriously. Stop. If they're trying to win the WS this year, which is what acquiring Lester means, they're not going to trade their best MLB players to do so. 

 

[Paradigm]

Agree with all of this.

 

[Eck'sSneakyCheese]

Would love Gausman.

Wrong New York-based writer.

 

[Jaylach]

I had a dream last night that the Sox acquired Bundy+ from the Os for Lester, and then flipped Bundy + Lackey + Good Prospect + Small part or two for Stanton.
 
My crazy ass dream still has a chance....
