Baseball Winter Meetings: Red Sox trade rumor

**I Are Baboon** · 12-12-2003, 11:02 AM

A late rumor indicates the following:

Red Sox send Manny Ramirez to Texas and send Nomar and Trot Nixon to Philadelphia.

Texas sends A-Rod to the Red Sox.

Philly sends Bobby Abreu and Jimmy Rollins to the Red Sox.

Just rumors.....I'll post more if I hear them.

Wow, I don't know about that!

I don't know much about the two players from philly but looking at there stats, I am not to impressed with that deal.

Well, these rumors have leaked in the last couple of hours. This was reported by a Philadelphia sports writer.

Looks like strictly a salary move by the Red Sox. I understand they may have to trade Nomar, but I expect an All Star caliber player in return. These two guys (Rollins and Abreu) just fill voids.

**IainDaniel** · 12-12-2003, 11:29 AM

That was my thoughts exactly, I hope these rumours don't pan out! I think that would be a step backwards, with alot of potential for this season.

**I Are Baboon** · 12-13-2003, 08:44 AM

I have not heard anything else on that Philly rumor.

Latest word is that the A-Rod talks have been called of for now and the Sox are focusing on signing Nomar. The Dodgers apparently are intensely interested in Nomar, so if the A-Rod trade does happen, there is a good chance Nomar ends up there. Of course, this is all rumor and speculation.

Keith Foulke is expected to announce his decision today.

I love the Winter Meetings! Always a bunch of trade talk going on.

**I Are Baboon** · 12-13-2003, 11:01 AM

Did you hear the rumor that Roger Clemens may come out of retirement to join Houston and Andy Pettitte (his best friend)? Crazy stuff!

**I Are Baboon** · 12-13-2003, 11:28 AM

ESPNEWS is reporting that Keith Foulke has signed with Boston. 3 years, $21 million with a 4th year option.

FUCK YEAH!

Sorry, oaktownboy. (really)

well i knew it was going to happen...whenever a player on the A's gets good enough to be caliber, they demand more money which the A's organization just does not have

**I Are Baboon** · 12-15-2003, 06:51 AM

The A-Rod/Manny trade rumors have supposedly "heated up" within the last 24 hours. They are saying this trade could be finalized at any moment.

I just want closure, one way or the other.

**I Are Baboon** · 12-17-2003, 08:21 AM

The latest rumors have Nomar going to Chicago AL in exchange for Magglio Ordonez. Interesting.....

Flex · 12-17-2003, 08:53 PM

yup...

Nomar to Chi and Manny to Tex, with Magglio and A-Rod to Boston. Give us the latter please!

Flex · 12-17-2003, 09:34 PM

as of right now (11:30pm et) the players association has rejected the contract. supposedly A-rod wouldnt benefit enough from restructuring.....

BUT, selig just said he may overturn their decision. if so, it'd go to a super arbitrator guy that would decide what wuold be able to happen.....

selig said there has to be a decision by 5pm tomoorow, its heating up....

ponyboy · 12-18-2003, 05:13 AM

A-Rod wouldn't benefit from restructuring

The guy makes 25 million dollars a freaking year. For the amount of time he is on the field either fielding and hitting he makes roughly $250,000 AN HOUR.

Imagine if the league took half of his contract and used it to buy tickets for underpriviledged or disabled kids around the league so they could attend games. Don't even get me started on basketball salaries.

This whole thing has turned into a frikkin mess.

Bud Selig getting involved would be about the only good thing he's ever done. The players' union SUCKS. I guess we'll finally know by the end of today what's going to happen with this.

	Chuck Norris once lost his keys and couldn't remember where he put them. So he tortured himself for half an hour until he gave up their location.

	Today I can do what others will not so that tomorrow I will do what others cannot. The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things that losers don't want to do.
