They probably want neither big future contracts nor do they want to give up much a deal. Someone like Nate Schierholz perhaps makes more sense to them in RF, although they do need a right-handed bat.

The Sox will definitely take a hit in attendance from making these trades, but considering some of the salaries we pay, we can save a lot of $$$.

Rick Hahn: The Sox would be seeking “high-impact premium talent’’ in deals, with starting pitching, middle infielders, center fielders and catchers in the mix.

Not including what we would owe on getting rid of someone like Dunn, I could see approx. $80 million coming off the books next year between trades and FA losses: Konerko, Peavy, Rios, Dunn, Ramirez, Thornton, Crain, and Floyd. Will we get rid of all of those guys? Probably not. Could we? There's a chance. |

I have never grown attached to Rios. Just never really cared for the dude or enjoyed his attitude on the field like Mags or Dye. The same can be said for Dunn and Alexei. I hope the Sox can get a nice haul for him.

Keppinger is a contact hitter, and we need more of them, not less. Being selfish would be poor hitting due to hacking all over the zone and power swinging for stats which is what we're seeing from Dunn, Viciedo and Flowers, etc. and not what we're seeing with Keppinger's "put the ball in play" approach. Keppinger should be moved for his contract, not for his hitting, which would fit in fine if we had any kind of productive hitters in the order other than Rios. |
