July 16, 200521 yr The Yankees (Pavano/cash for Leiter/Burnett), White Sox (Contreras/ Marte/McCarthy/Anderson for AJ/Lowell) and Blue Jays (Burnett for Chacin/Gross/League) are all good deals for the Marlins, but I like the Sox deal the best, especially if they take on Lowell's contract.
July 16, 200521 yr Forget the Dunn pipedream folks. They're gonna trade him because they can't sign him, so they're not going to take a SP who is a free agent at the end of the year. They want kids.
July 16, 200521 yr There is no way that the White Sox are going to give up that much for a SP that has been on the DL so many times. This is from the Chicago Sun-Times: There were more indications Thursday out of South Florida that the Sox have been the most aggressive of six teams interested in Burnett. The Marlins are said to be looking for a left-handed reliever with closing experience -- Damaso Marte fits the description -- and an outfielder who can help jump-start their offense -- Carl Everett could be a fit there. Both players also would be desired because of their relative affordability. A top prospect likely would have to be included.

Reds may want him to be their ace of the future, but I am not sure the Reds are looking for a guy who won't resign there.

July 16, 200521 yr Dunn's home runs would go out anywhere. But you're right about the rest. Contreras is due $4M the rest of this year and $9M next year 857008[/snapback] i say we get dunn :whistle :notworthy
July 16, 200521 yr That rumored deal with the Blue Jays sounds outstanding 857932[/snapback] I'm definitely all over the bandwagon for the Blue Jays deal.
