July 23, 200521 yr There was talk yesterday on ESPN that there was talk between the 3 teams saying sox would trade for Burnett then trade him straight up for Wagner and then do the Minny trade to get a Starter(joe mays?.) There would be prospects involved probably but the main players would be: Fla gets: Arroyo, Prospects Bos gets: Lowell Wagner Mays? Minny gets: Mueller prospects ? Philly gets: Burnett what do you think the validity of that
July 23, 200521 yr That would be a decent trade if Mays hadn't gotten bombed in 4 of his last 7 outings!!!The sox are more interested in Romero and are not going to give up Mueller for Mays.
July 23, 200521 yr If the Sox actually get Burnet, they are Not, repeat not flipping him to any team, they are keeping him. This idea of flipping him is silly.
July 23, 200521 yr Author Yes this trade was what the baseball tonight guys said they heard rumblings about, but if the sox did get wagner, why get another lefty.
July 23, 200521 yr So we get Arroyo and prospects for Burnett,and Lowell?that's nothing,i ratehr trade Burnett for Arroyo straight up.But that's just me i'm a fan of Arroyo.
July 23, 200521 yr If the Sox actually get Burnet, they are Not, repeat not flipping him to any team, they are keeping him. This idea of flipping him is silly. 871573[/snapback] Schilling says he's "ready" to start, and for little Theo, if that's true, he's going to trade AJ in a heartbeat to Philadelphia if he can get Wagner. His allegiance is to the Red Sox, not to the Marlins. (see: http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/reds...tart_right_now/ Today's Boston Globe Red Sox notebook titled "Schilling ready to 'start right now' ")
July 23, 200521 yr Author I mean fins could get shoppach, alvarez maybe even anibal sanchez and maybe some from minny and philly.

July 23, 200521 yr Not happening. Teams don't get involved with 3 or 4 ways with teams in their division.
July 23, 200521 yr Author idk, they were saying do a straight trade to boston and then do a 3 way with boston, philly and minny, could happen, granted this seems a bit out there but it could happen.
July 23, 200521 yr If we completely clear Lowell's salary and Beinfest has a second deal with Cinci set up to get one of Griffey/Dunn/Kearns, I'm all for it. :thumbup
