Clay Buchholz of the Red Sox has an appointment with Dr. James Andrews Monday that will help determine Boston's level of interest in trading for a starting pitcher at the deadline, reports Scott Lauber of the Boston Herald. Buchholz, who has bursitis in his right shoulder, has not pitched since June 8. If Andrews says Buchholz can start throwing again, the Red Sox will be less likely to trade for a starting pitcher like Bud Norris or Jake Peavy this month. Here's more out of Boston.

Another factor in the Red Sox's decision about whether to add pitching is the "readiness" of younger pitchers Drake Britton, Brandon Workman, Rubby De La Rosa and Allen Webster, writes Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. The Red Sox must weigh their goal of being competitive in the future against their goal of competing in the present, and are unlikely to blow up their farm system, particularly not for a rental. Rosenthal also mentions Peavy, who is under contract through next season, as a possible choice for the Sox.

Based on the Rangers rumored deal, one has to think Peavy will be cheaper than that...and might actually be the better trade option...as he's signed through next year...

Brandon Phillips addressed the reaction to his recent comments in a Cincinnati Magazine article, which quoted him as saying the six-year, $72.5MM contract extension he signed with the Reds in 2012 was a "slap in the face" and that GM Walt Jocketty and owner Bob Castellini lied to him during the process. "Do I feel like they lied to me? If someone tells me they don’t have no money and you find $200 million somewhere, what does that sound like?" Phillips told C. Trent Rosecrans of the Cincinnati Enquirer, referencing the ten-year, $225MM deal first baseman Joey Votto completed with the Reds about a week before his own deal was announced. "I’m very happy for Joey, don’t get me wrong," the second baseman added. "It was basically, if you think about it, I was saying I thought I wasn’t going to be a Cincinnati Red ... if y’all want to take that to the negative way, be my guest, that doesn’t bother me."

What a whiney little bag of shit...also talks like he was riding shotgun for Aaron Hernandez...

Perhaps someone should mention to him that he wasn't obligated to sign that contract extension....it was a voluntary choice...dumbass.

"As longs as I getz minez...I dontz give a fuckz if we'z can signz Joey and haz a hopez ofz competenz..."

Shields to the Rangers for Mike Olt

 

[Down38st8]

anyone else hear Keith Law waxing poetically about Bogaerts on EEI over the weekend?

"Talked to multiple pro scouts, had dozen's of guys throughout MLB giving me their top 50 lists...every single one had Bogaerts top 5, every single one said he's a superstar..."

Shields to the Rangers for Mike Olt

Done deal? Or wishful thinking? Olt's value has slid, but he's got the potential to add the pop that team is desperate for...

Shields to the Rangers for Mike Olt

I think Olt has Moustakas written all over him

25 I believe?

Not buying that guy, especially for Shields

 

[Mike Oxlodge]

Mike Olt is an over glorified Mat Laporta.

So we have a "die-hard" Red Sox fan trying to make us believe he watches plenty of Reds games. Why do people lie about things like this?

 

[Mike Oxlodge]

Some where in the deep hollows of New Hampshire, there lived a man who was born a die hard Red Sox fans. As he stood there that one sultry day in July with a Reds fan at Logan Airport, with his Big Papi jersey and Green Red Sox hat, he got into a heated argument with that Reds fan.

"I watch plenty of Reds games, plenty"

 

[RedSoxWorrld]

since when do we have to qualify expertness in here?

 

[Mike Oxlodge]

"I watch plenty of Reds games" said no one outside of Ohio and Kentucky. I only watch the Reds when they play Atlanta.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

since when do we have to qualify expertness in here?

The answer lies in whenever I logged in this morning

 

[Mike Oxlodge]

Mike Napoli up with the bases loaded, bottom of the 9th, Sox down by 3, 3-2 count...."oooh wait hold on Joey Votto is up"

Alfonso Soriano of the Cubs is on the Yankees' radar as a possible trade target, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. If any deal were to take place, though, it might not happen in July, since the $25MM remaining on Soriano's contract means he's sure to pass through waivers in August. Soriano has a full no-trade clause, but says he will consider a trade to a contending team. Wittenmyer writes that the Yankees view another Cubs outfielder, Nate Schierholtz, as more of a platoon type.

The same reason Down lies when he's caught saying something ridiculous...

They can't just say "I was wrong" or "I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about" in New England apparently.
