There was no way we were getting Schilling. We would've had to have given up NJ and Soriano which meant that we'd have no A-Rod. Cashman would've been an idiot to make that trade, considering who the Red Sox gave up. |

Colangelo has been getting killed in Arizona for the Schilling deal. To make matters worse, Sexon missed most of the year and may not re-sign. Plus Overbay has developed into a very good player. |

I say if Cashman were as great as some of you make him out to be he could've gotten a deal done and still had one of those two guys. |

You have to have the players to land the top players. Plus teams don't want to help the Yankees. Colangelo took sh*t for Schilling. Do you see anyone else significant that the Sox got? They upgraded defensively with players that weren't in demand. |

I understand not getting the deal for Unit done, but looking back at all the trade possiblities the last few months, we should've had Garcia. Instead we're stuck with Loaiza. And still don't have a good lefty reliever. Cashman is not interested in helping this organization. :peace: |

Did you bother to see what Chicago gave up to get him? Jeremy Reed is far better than any prospect we have. Miguel Olivo is a catcher who steps right into the starting lineup. Learn something before you make ridiculous comments. :peace: |

Great move by Theo. Anytime you can trade a great SS, potential HOF'er for two guys hitting 240 I think you have to make that move. |

They could've got Pavano for him and signed Cabrera as a FA in the offseason if they wanted him that bad. |

We had a deal in place for Garcia, then when Cashman pulled Contreras out of the deal the White Sox got Garcia. |

They had to improve their defense. Nomar had become a problem in the clubhouse and had NO intention of resigning in Boston. Epstein had to deal him. |

I understand if you have to deal someone. But they could've got more then they did. |

You just said it. Everyone knew he had to deal him, so he wouldn't have gotten as much as he could have. |

Really, Moo? Who could they have gotten? I think Epstein did the best job he could. No reason to believe otherwise, because he is always looking for ways to improve the team. He did hurt the offense somewhat, but the defense improved big time. |

I'm not saying you're wrong about not being able to get more for Nomar, but it's amazing how you can tell exactly how well Epstein makes deals and how poorly Cashman does. Quite remarkable. :think: |

And alot of people, not just guys on this board but writers thought Arizona had to trade Randy Johnson. I don't think it was a terrible trade, I just think that when you trade away your #5 hitter and the face of the franchise the past few years you can get more then a slick fielding, average hitting 1st basemen and shortstop. I'm willing to bet Anaheim would've given them a nice package of prospects, the Pavano rumor was out there and who knows if they tried dealing with LA. |

It's really not hard. What has Cashman done this season to significantly improve the pitching? He had a deal in place for Garcia, decides not to get it done. Loaiza is nothing more than a slight upgrade over Contreras. Heredia was here for way too long, we still don't have a good lefty reliever. Our focus should've been on improving the bullpen at the deadline because we should've already improved our starting pitching in late-May, early-June. Cashman is lazy. And on top of this, his wife it's his dream to go to Boston and help them win a WS. :wtf: NO WAY that should even be mentioned and I'm sure that didn't just come out of no where. |

Like its been said in this thread, if Cashman makes the type of deals Theo has made and assembles a team like Boston has you would crucify him. |

If he had added Garcia and gotten us a good lefty reliever I would not have crucified him. Hell if he was giving an effort I wouldn't complain about him. Instead, he must be telling his wife it's a dream of his to help Boston win a WS. Why else would she say something like that? If he wants to go, that is perfectly fine with me. |

He had a deal in place for Garcia: Pure Conjecture. Cashman is lazy: Ridiculous. He probably works harder than any other GM it's his dream to go to Boston: read the whole article, dummy. get a GM who will care about helping this team win a championship and not just sit their and eat ice cream: This is the sillyest argument I've ever heard. |

I read the whole article. I wouldn't expect Cashman and his wife to be saying to the paper that the NY Magazine article is true, that would be totally stupid. He knows how to talk to the press. But I bet he really does won't to go to Boston. We'll see in the next few years. |
