Trade Rumors

Red Sox looking to acquire Uribe in deal with Chicago

July 23, 2008 By Danny Knobler CBSSports.com Senior Writer

The Red Sox are deep in conversations with the White Sox on a trade that would send infielder Juan Uribe to Boston, according to sources. Uribe is batting just .225 in limited playing time this season, but his three home runs are one more than all Red Sox shortstops have hit. Boston shortstops are 28th in the majors in runs scored and 23rd in RBI.

Here's what a couple White Sox fans have to say about Uribe... kind of the same thing our fans have been saying about Lugo for quite awhile. Please don't do the trade!!

July 23, 2008 11:01 pm the BoSox want Uribe, they can have him! This would give us the opportunity to get Ozuna back.
July 23, 2008 8:00 pm I'll drive Uribe to Boston if the Red Sox want him, hell, I'd be a happy man if some one took him, he's got a good glove at SS, but he's just so stupid at the plate, all the potential he could ever want and he's a .230 hitter, pathetic.

MLB Trade Deadline Approaching - July 31

The deadline for trades is quickly approaching. Just a week away.

Names being tossed around:

OF Matt Holliday, Colorado Rockies: He has one year and $13 million left before free agency, and after 2009 the Rockies will have little chance to keep him.

1B Mark Teixeira, Atlanta Braves: He's a free agent after the season, but if they're in the race, how can they move him?

LH reliever Brian Fuentes, Rockies: He's a free agent after the season, and Manny Corpas is the future closer.

OF Jason Bay, Pittsburgh Pirates: The Pirates are asking a lot, but why not?

RH reliever Huston Street, Oakland Athletics: When GM Billy Beane makes up his mind to trade someone, it's a done deal.

Others: 3B Adrian Beltre, Seattle Mariners; OF Xavier Nady, Pirates; RH starter Livan Hernandez, Minnesota Twins; 3B Garrett Atkins, Rockies; 3B Casey Blake, Cleveland Indians
