Maybe he's going to LA since Rodriguez turned them down?

Ed Rod wants to go to the Red Sox as well.  Do the Sox need a starter?  I honestly dont know off hand.  I guess everyone does in reality.

I mean this is meaningless right? You just sub them if a trade happens.

Probably so. I think it’s just to point out that nobody is being left out of the lineup now.

Tons of rumors that White Sox are asking for Holliday..  hang the phone up! 

Of course they are, as would we in their position. I'm trusting Elias knows such a demand is simply a negotiation tactic to let us know the WS are serious and can't be bulldozed.

That’s the Orioles Twitter rumors. They seem like morons.

I imagine that he leaves the White Sox clubhouse fairly often.  There's a field outside the clubhouse that he plays on, and then, after games, he's been known to go to hotels or his house.

I was just thinking that. The moment the failed Dodgers trade to get ERod was announced, they posted a statement that the price for Cease had gone up. No way they could know if that were true - pure speculation.

Really? I thought he lived there.

The ERod situation is an extremely intriguing opportunity. The Tigers should be highly motivated to sell him, and you have a very clear bargaining chip given that it is now in the public domain that we're only one of a few teams you can trade him to. Plus the O's have tons of in-house information on him that is usually a question mark when acquiring a new player. Very unique situation to get outsized value that doesn't come around all that often. And it's really only a reality because the O's have waited this long.

Boston's just 2.5 games back in Wild Car. And five games over .500. Probably could use an arm.
