I agree, but if they gave up nothing in return it can't hurt.

they're giving up Nick Masset and Danny Richar. They might as well be sending a bag of balls and some hot dogs.

Yeah I need a Winn-Dixie grocery bag full of money right next to the VIP section...

I'd bench Konerko. He looks cooked.

Wow, I've been awaiting another trade from them all day, but have yet to see anything. If this is their only move I jst don't get it.

Why is it that somebody says this every time any team makes a trade for a big name player?

Now, this one just seems like kind of a weird trade. The Sox already have a DH and their outfield is set, and don't they kind of need PITCHING??? They didn't give much up to get Griff, but I just don't quite see how it fits with their existing roster. Sometimes, in hockey, you get teams that make a trade just to make a trade, so they can show their fans "See? We did stuff, too!" This almost seems like the same thing.

Yea, that's basically what I was thinking too...

I've heard a lot about how Kenny Williams has been trying to get Griffey for years, and he really likes the guy, so I'd bet this was more of a nostalgic trade than one made to improve the team much.
Master of Ale!
Yeah, I would agree with that. Again, it's not a BAD trade...they basically give up nothing. It just doesn't really help the team in any real way, either. It's almost like there was supposed to be a second half to it, where one of the bats was dealt for pitching, but then that didn't end up happening.

It's not really a bad trade because they gave up 2 marginal major leaguers at best. It does create a log jam but from watching the Sox Konerko isn't just in a slump, he has big mental problems at this point and he needs to come off the bench for a little while until he can get back to old form. That means move Swisher to first, Dye in right and Quentin in left. That means (gulp) they nedd to put Griffey in center which might kinda suck. Konerko plays a couple times a week to give Thonme and Swisher a break. There is some question marks with this deal but I think it is a good trade for the Sox. Go White Sox
