Final Day Trade Rumor Countdown thread. (Deadline 4 PM)

[Palmoripken]

Oakland has a 63.8% percent chance of winning the division now.

It would be even less if we weren't beating on their division rivals from down in Anaheim. Not to say Oakland isn't a great team- they are- but they're not invincible.

[Roll Tide]

God I hope not Colon he just looks awful physically and doesn't fit with our younger rotation. I wouldn't be proud to see him in our uniform. Okay, Lester is off the board and now Cespedes hits in a band box (yikes) but I hope we pull an unexpected move and go after one of Houston's pitchers and then find the best LR we can get on the cheap.

I'm happy with the rotation if you can't get a #1 SP. They should get a 2B , Becham, A Cabrera, or Bonifacio in that order.

[Reboulet'sStache]

If the cost is right, I'd give him a shot. I'm not too concerned with his physical appearance, just pitch well and I couldn't care less what he looks like.

I don't see how the price could ever be right for him. He is owed like 10 or 11 million next year at 40 years old. I don't think the Orioles are going to pay that, which means they will be asking the Mets to eat a lot of money. For the Mets to eat a lot of money, they are going to be asking for a lot in return.

Waste of time trying to ask questions on the streaming ESPN site. All Red Sox questions pretty much......shocker.

Oakland has a 63.8% percent chance of winning the division now.

They still have 10 games left against the Angels. That's going to be a battle.

No Qualifying offer may be given to either Lester Or Cespedes in this deal.

[Palmoripken]

I'm happy just to get a reliever, LH bat, or 2B possibly at this point. It may sound naive but I really think our rotation is coming together.

No doubt, I don't see it happening. Just saying, if we got a decent deal, I'd take a chance on him.

[weams]

And about like a 1,000% of winning the World Series. Gah.

Be good to get into the playoffs first.

[weams]

How can be arbitration eligible when he wasn't drafted/sign a "rookie" deal? He signed a FA contract.

Which had some very player friendly caveats to it.

[backwardsk]

No Qualifying offer may be given to either Lester Or Cespedes in this deal.

I understand that a QO can't be given to Lester, but why can't one be given to Cespedes assuming he stays on the Sox all of 2015? Is this something that can be negotiated?

[isestrex]

Cespedes could hit 50 homers in Fenway next year.

This isn't a good thing for the AL East.

[davidhusker]

Red Sox got the Oakland Competitive Balance pick as well. Oakland sent money as well.

No, The red sox sent money, not the A's. https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/494846263217516545

[Palmoripken]

The baseball ref facebook page is clarfiying that Cespedes does become a FA after

the 2015 season now btw.

Thank you. I missed that.
