[BigDan]

I don't see anything anywhere on this

dont know where bronxer got it but i heard it on mlbtv...of coarse they havnt been exactly accurate during all this.

[stevek173]

Yup it's official, actually glad they got him instead of Jimenez. I don't see Jimenez doing well in the AL. Good to see the Indians making a push though.

(Yahoo Sports)
"Jul 30 Harden has been traded from Oakland to Boston in exchange for first baseman Lars Anderson and a player to be named later, according to WEEI.com.
Recommendation: The injury risk is always going to be there with Harden, but this seems like a good chance for the Red Sox to take for a possible fifth starter and bullpen arm in the playoffs. With the news on Clay Buchholz not sounding so good, the team needed another veteran arm. The Red Sox were interested in Ubaldo Jimenez but likely were not willing to pay the steep price that the Indians were willing to pay (four players)."

[Tech N9ne]

Fukk that dick licker. He's nuthin

[oiler]

think harden is a good 4th or 5th pitcher in any rotation

[thejrichshow85]

Redsox Phillies WS

Phillies in 7

[clip1]

go BoSox get better, where are the futures on the winner i'm getting in

[MichaelWaters]

last bet i have to get some of my old mans cash back is a red sox future at 4-1. looked good i figured they would make a move and get a good pitcher. side note the money is not mine at all it all goes to him, not my bet just like i gave up the bruins i really just want to be done gambling

[Ra77er]

Nice move by Boston

[newjerseydevils]

GOOOOOOO SOX!.................................... ..........they winning it all.

[Johnnythunder]

Good move....cant hurt....this sox team is very good.

[shaunovery]

Nice pick up been doing ok recently

[Dirty Sanchez]

Harden so injury prone...I wouldn't trust him. The dude is so fragile he would sneeze and collapse his lung

[raiders32]

Looks like Boston Philly world series.

[Romanianbornwin]

Now it looks like he wasn't traded. Was told he is starting on Tuesday with the A's. "Rich Harden deal falls through." Not exactly sure what happened because most were reporting he was traded and now all of a sudden he wasn't.

This: Uncertainty after a review of Harden's medicals led the deal coming apart

[stevek173]

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)—A trade that had been in the works to send right-hander Rich Harden(notes) from the Oakland Athletics to the Boston Red Sox fell through late Saturday, a person with knowledge of the negotiations said.

Harden isn’t headed for Beantown after all. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the private nature of such talks.

The pitcher said after Saturday night’s 8-3 win over Minnesota that general manager Billy Beane told him he was staying put and would start Tuesday. The Red Sox and A’s had been close to agreeing on the swap that would have sent Harden to Boston and brought Triple-A first baseman Lars Anderson(notes) to the A’s.

Apparently Executive Vice President/General Manager of the Boston Red Sox Theo Epstein was in a late night meeting with Oakland GM Billy Beane when Epstein had a flatulence that was so putrid that it killed the deal. "I'm normally pretty tolerant" said Beane "but that was so putrid I could taste it. Not only is this deal cancelled because of Epstein's lack of professionalism but at no point in the future will I be sitting in the same room as that $%#ing slob."

"It was my mistake. I had some cabbage with dinner and I don't hold that well. I hope Mr. Beane can realize it was a mistake and that we can do business in the future".

Wow, just wow.

[Regul8er]

Sounds like a bit of a panic move myself.

[Romanianbornwin]

Never heard of anything like that. Hahaha

[qsilver335]

The sox have to be the favorite to win win the AL, if not the whole thing.

[unusialsusp5]

yes, it fell through. who needs him when we have john lackey to pitch the 3rd game of any series. they would be crazy to part with lars anderson who they need to replace ortiz soon.

[TobiasFunke]

Harden would have been a nice pick up for them...

[Capybara]

Wow, this thread was a rollercoaster ride.

[kingcheng]

harden would make a good pitcher with dice K out.

[GoldenRichards]

I would love to see a Phillies/Red Sox World Series

[Brock Landers]

Harden was good a few years ago

[memo99]

i cant see anything else than a Sox/Phillies world series

[fsfalcons]

harden would have cemented a ws for boston. still got the yanks
