        <body>I don't mind trading Dye and Vasquez but not Jenks? Who'd be the closer if Jenks is gone? Unless they trade for another closer or sign a free agent.</body>

        <body>I'll trade the the with the White Sox. The Royals will give you exactly what we got for Jermaine Dye 7 years ago... Unfortulantly, Neifi Perez is now 36... er... I mean 39 and he's not on our team any more. Would you take Tony Pena Jr? He is the equivilant to Perez.

Frustrated Royals Fan.

I miss our 2001 outfield of Damon Beltran and Dye!</body>

        <body>It would be a Merry Christmas for Reds Fans if we could dump that overrated, cocky bum Homer Bailey for a proven Power Hitting Right Handed Bat like Dye. Walt, I am Begging You, Pull The Trigger on This Trade. I am Tired of waiting for our young prospects to come around. LETS WIN NOW!!!</body>

        <body>There is no way Kenny Williams could pry more than one prospect away from the Mets for a 35 year old outfielder in Dye, a pitcher who has already not exactly thrived in NY, and Bobby Jenks. If he would be stupid enough to take Heilman,Neise and Murphy I'd do it...but Williams isn't stupid.
K-Rod will eventually be a Met, whether he is overpaid or not. Kinzer is giving the Mets every opportunity to sign him.</body>

  <body>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; The White Sox should be one of the more interesting teams this winter, as they appear to be one contending team taking offers on some of their better players, including outfielder &lt;strong&gt;Jermaine Dye&lt;/strong&gt;, closer &lt;strong&gt;Bobby Jenks &lt;/strong&gt;and pitcher &lt;strong&gt;Javier Vazquez&lt;/strong&gt;. Sox GM &lt;strong&gt;Ken Williams &lt;/strong&gt;has historically been the most aggressive GM, and word is that he and manager &lt;strong&gt;Ozzie Guillen &lt;/strong&gt;would like to make the team younger and faster.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The Mets are a team that could use all three of those Sox players. However, talks with the South Siders have been slow. While the White Sox presumably have some interest in the Mets' top four prospects -- outfielder &lt;strong&gt;Fernandez Martinez &lt;/strong&gt;and pitchers &lt;strong&gt;Jon Niese&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bobby Parnell &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;Eddie Kunz&lt;/strong&gt; -- teams that have dealt with the Mets say the team from Queens is clutching tightly to them, leading to speculation they are more likely to fill their needs via free agency. While Jenks and Dye would help any team, the Mets don't appear to covet Vazquez, an innings eater who is drawing interest from other National League clubs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The Reds have shown an interest in Dye, and the report in WCKY in Cincinnati that a deal of hard-throwing pitching prospect &lt;strong&gt;Homer Bailey&lt;/strong&gt; and another prospect for Dye was discussed has not been denied. Bailey's stock has to be down, but the Sox are one team that seems to be able to harness the talents of hard throwers (see Jenks and &lt;strong&gt;Matt Thornton&lt;/strong&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;</body>
