Both Brian Giles and the Red Sox were unsure and unhappy about the circumstances surrounding the news of the waiver claim being made public. There are significant fines for discussing waiver claims.

Maybe Giles needs to be upset with San Diego, the team he chose to stay with.

Where was Mr. Bill Belechick when all this was transpiring ???

Several millions a year will probably smooth things over.

The only party that's not upset is the Padres.... hmmmmm.... perhaps he might not be so quick to exercise the clause next time..... makes him look like he wants to play for a loser and is just in it for the cash..... which is, of course, true...

Has Giles played a full 5 years for SD? Can he veto a trade?

ljmel... He has a limited no-trade, and the Sox were one of the teams lined out in it. I think he has played 5 years for SD, but I would have to check.

Someone within the Red Sox has loose lips. In 2007 or 2006 the Braves put Andruw Jones on waviers or they talked to Boston about a trade and someone leaked it; had to because no one thought he would be traded.

This year the whole Tex for Youk deal also. The deal wasn't turned down, it wasn't even made. It was a- if we decide to trade Tex to you we won't Youk.
