White Sox Waiver Deals Thread

[DewsSox79]

Supposedly the Phils were asking for top prospects and weren't going to pay any of that ridiculous buyout or any other part of his contract. So yeah no surprise that this didn't happen. Really not surprised that a team claimed him because he still is a top of the rotation pitcher and as bad as the contract looks the price of pitching is catching up to it fast.

thats crazy of amaro to even think that top specs plus all salary. he could have easily let him go and get his payroll down and re tool.

Where are the Tweets saying that we did?

There is none... all speculation.

The Phils have money to burn with a new TV deal. Plus given the fact that he hasn't won a ring yet with that roster I am not sure how long he will get to retool the roster.

The Phils were ridiculous with what they wanted for their pitchers this year.

Given what any pitcher with a sub 5 ERA went this deadline I don't entirely blame them.

5:06pm: The Phillies don't see a trade as very likely, reports Jon Heyman. The Phils also aren't likely to just let Lee leave to the claiming team without getting anything back in return.

He may not have been pulled back yet. I want to know who claimed him

GM Williams spoke. About waiver wire he said: "I think it's a mistake to sit in this chair & feel like there's not one more move to make."

dodgers were the ones that claimed cliff lee.

Dodgers have crazy money. The McCourt days are over, and LA is going to be a top 5 payroll from now on it seems.

I agree. magic johnson doesnt give a ****. they will be the yanks of the NL

 

[DewsSox79]

seems like there are deals being made. not much news or rumors leak out except for cliff lee and that fell through. If KW does anything we wont hear shit until its done, probably not even a single tidbit.

He'd be a big upgrade over James Loney.
