Sox Going after Dunn and Myers...

[waldo7239117]

The Sox reportedly have made a offer to the Nats which would send Edwin Jackson and another player for Adam Dunn. No one knows if it's close or what not. But, the Nats did lose interest in Jackson a little bit. We just have to wait and see, if a trade goes down.

If the White Sox trade Jackson for Dunn, they will focuse on another SP, Brett Myers. They will also be join by Minn. The Astros have stated they will not trade Myers because he's cheap. However, you will never know as they could get a good offer and take it.

If no Dunn, Jackson will be the only Sox trade. That means, no Myers also.

Thoughts?

This would work nicely for the Cubs, should the Sox get Dunn and should the Cubs pursue him in the offseason.

But Myers to the Sox has very little chance of happening.

Heard from a good source: Brett Myer is untouchable, won't be traded by Astros

You never know. No one saw the Oswalt trade happeing but the Astros lower there price. I think a trade can happen if the WS or Twins are willing to pay.

Earlier this week, a trade of Astros right-hander Brett Myers seemed unlikely — particularly if the club dealt Roy Oswalt.

Late Friday, however, one major-league source indicated that the Astros have become more open-minded to offers for Myers, their ace-of-the-moment.

It’s possible now that Myers, signed to a one-year, $5.1 million contract in January, will be the top right-handed starter moved in the final hours before Saturday’s 4 p.m. ET non-waiver deadline.

Perhaps Astros officials are embracing the ideas of saving money and getting younger, as evidenced by trades of Oswalt (to the Phillies) and first baseman Lance Berkman (to the Yankees).

The Twins are among the teams involved in the Myers talks, one source said.

Minnesota has a need for starting pitching and may want to counter the addition of Edwin Jackson by the rival White Sox. The Astros would probably ask them for one of their young starters — Scott Baker, Kevin Slowey or Nick Blackburn — as part of the package. — Jon Paul Morosi
