Somone is Boston is reporting the pitcher is Zach Stewart.

Kaplan is reporting the same thing. Beautiful.

:lol: Wow. I know Youkilis isn't what he used to be, but getting any MLB level player for Stewart is pretty goddam good.

I wonder who is paying what on the remaining salary. Obviously trading a batting practice pitcher and a utility guy ain't shit so maybe the Red Sox are paying most of the money...

KW isn't doing this for show. He has a team that can win this division and has just upgraded the team's weakest spot. He seems to have done this giving up almost nothing in return. Just another to add to the list solid moves for Kenny Williams.

Youkilis would have to be half dead not be a big upgrade over Hudson.

Still not as good of a move as drafting this guy.

Supposedly Jordan Danks, Zack Stewart, and Lillibridge for Youklis.

Now that is an original, hilarious joke. Well done UMN.


If that is the deal, Peeps, I don't really like it.

The joke is that Kenny won't release him.

Didn't Lillibridge pinch run after they announced Youkilis was traded.

It's not Eduardo Escobar either. 8)

Yeah, but Escobar pinch hit for him in the 9th. Jordan Danks was on the field after they won.

It's probably as good a move as he could make to shore up 3B, while not depleating the major league roster much. Another great effort by Quintana today.

BOS clears way for Middlebrooks, adds a power arm in Stewart, a utilityman who can play all over, while saving $2 m. of sunk cost in Youk.

All Sox hating aside....this is a good trade. You are getting a highly motivated guy whose basement is still better than what you had at 3rd and his ceiling is extremely high. He won't be the miserable piece of shit he has been in Boston this year.

This is a great move by the White Sox. You give up basically nothing, have the Red Sox pay most of his salary and even if Youkilis plays exactly the way he was playing for Boston, would still be a massive upgrade at 3rd base. Plus I think with a new environment you will see him improve his play.

Kind of surprising this is all Boston could get....unless the scouts see something we don't.

yes....he was just "there". that stack of burgers that adam ate was nasty looking. Most of the food challenges look good but that one looked terrible.

Love this trade for the White Sox, which means it will probably blow up in their face.

Nice move if media reports of Boston picking up most of the salary. The Good Guys gave up virtually nothing.

Nice move by the Sox. Youk can't be any worse than what they have at 3rd and they only gave up two end of the bench guys.

Worse case scenario, Zach Stewart somehow gets his head out of his ass and becomes a dominant reliever and Youk's numbers don't improve. And that scenario is not really that bad.

Sure. I thought there were others interested in him. I was foolish for listening to media reports.
