Fires of Heaven Guild Message Board - View Single Post - Baseball Trade Deadline --Red Sox making moves

The Red Sox are trying to get Gagne and Dye before the trade deadline, this would be HUGE for the Sox:

The Red Sox, who like to aim high, are still trying to beat the Dodgers, Angels and Diamondbacks for White Sox outfielder Jermaine Dye as Tuesday's trade deadline approaches.

Boston is offering talented, but underachieving, outfielder Wily Mo Pena and a reliever for Dye, who is likely to be dealt somewhere before the 4 p.m. ET waiver deadline. The Red Sox appear to be the favorite -- except they are one of only four teams covered by Dye's no-trade provision.

Dye's agent, Bob Bry, said by phone on Monday that Dye would prefer to remain with the White Sox. However, the strong possibility still exists that Dye could wind up changing Sox.

Red Sox close in on Gagne
The Red Sox and Texas Rangers have agreed in principle to a trade involving Eric Gagne, and the Red Sox are now negotiating with the former Cy Young winner to get him to accept the trade.

The Rangers are set to receive prospects in the deal. Boston is not on Gagne's approved list of 12 teams to which he can be traded.
