I would think not...
I would be a nice thought, but counter productive. Anyways I dont see this happening, its just Kenny Williams doing what he always does. If it were to happen, I think Gordon Beckman and Jordan Danks would be included. Which is a nice starting point.
Just to be clear...
This IS Chicago media we are talking about. So the truth is probably the exact opposite what they have reported.

Chicago Media?????????
It is a White Sox blog that has been around for 4 months.
Peavy has been in Chicago longer than they have.
So your saying they made it up?

I am saying
that a 4 month old White Sox blog is not exactly the “Chicago Media”.
I am saying that the term MEDIA
gets tossed around too broadly.
Nowhere have I questioned anyones integrity. I simply do not buy the idea that Sox.Net is part of the CHICAGO MEDIA.
Is this link the San Diego media?

I would say they have better coverge than the UT does.

Now it's in the Chicago Tribune, does that count?
NOW we know it really isn’t true.

Yeah but
the Chicago Tribune is using Sox.net as it’s source. That’s like the UT using Websoulsurfer as a source.

Whatever happened to Websoulsurfer?
Doesn’t seem to have resurfaced since guaranteeing that Jerry DiPoto would be hired as Padres GM.

So...
the Cubs, Mariners and Dodgers are talking three way deal involving Lee, Branyan and prospects? That is just crazy talk.
Things that aren't going to happan.
There should be abut 1000 trade rumors involving Gonzo, before spring training.
I have a souce that is saying
the Padres are in preliminary talks with Marlins in a deal that would send Heath Bell to the fish for Dan Uggla. Wow this rumor stuff is easy when you don’t have cite your sources by name.

I started that rumor
Like a year and a half ago.

LOL-- mlbtraderumors Not buying Adrian Gonzalez three-way trade stuff that continues to hit the inbox.
This is so much nonsense even MLBTR, a site that posts RUMORS!, won’t even give it a second look.

Maybe they just dont like three-ways

But... who doesn't like three-ways?

King Jed would not be dealing AG before he meets with Boggs.
i would imagine this didnt happen early this morning and then King Jed got on the phone and is working a three way trade out in the afternoon. I hope Jed wouldnt trade our franchise centerpiece before his nameplate gets posted on the door.

Don't know why or how
Why would the Angels get involved to get Konerko?
Why would the Sox try and get a player who’ll be ridiculously expensive in two years?
What makes the Sox think they could get THE BEST PLAYER we have for a group of prospects that won’t include their best?
Why would the Angels contribute big prospects to get Konerko??
Not a chance this is real
I can give you the bloggy answers to all those questions
1. Angels needed a right handed bat with power and have DH spot open.
2. Sox don’t care that much about two years from now. They are always in “win now” mode and just want to exchange Konerko’s salary for AGon’s salary while getting better at the position. Simple enough, cheaper and better for 2 years, worry about later, later.
3. This article says that they wouldn’t want to include Danks the elder, Ramirez, Beckham or Floyd. Their best prospect is Daniel Hudson so presumably he would be in the deal. They mention that Danks the younger could be included and he’s one of their top prospects and presumable another top prospect in Tyler Flowers could be. Potentially, that is quite a package from them (even if it isn’t quite Adrian-worthy, but it might be better than those Red Sox “deals” depending on who gets included from the Angels).
4. I don’t think there would be a big prospect. It would probably be a middle infielder since they have a few of those lying around. Maybe a lower level guy too.
There is a chance this is real, but its so contingent on some pretty gutsy (and by gutsy I probably mean odd and highly criticized) moves that it has a snowball’s chance in hell of actually working out.

plus didnt we just grab their #1 pitching prospect in Poreda to only see him become an emotional nilly

This post has way too many comments.
This is obviously one of the hundreds of BS hot stove rumors that come out each year. And because of both the substance, and, yes, the source. (sox.net, not Drama…okay, Drama too)
This whole thing was because of a stupid typo.
I was actually trying to link a story from sex.net and everything just went downhill from there.

Isn't that what the offseason is about
Giving credence to ill-formed rumors?

I heard another rumor
word on the streets that Wonko will be traded to Lookout Landings for some upcoming 14 year olds..things need to be ironed out.

That rumor was true
I didn’t pass the physical though and the trade had to be negated.

Just read this
on the Boston Globe site:
No trade rumors, just something to read
Yet another Boston writer wakes up
and realizes that maybe, just maybe, every player in baseball does not want to play for either Boston or New York.
