Yet, I heard that the Sox turned the Rays down on the deal. I don't understand. To me that seems like a darn good return for Dye.</p> <p>If the Sox want more I think they should ask for Balfour also. If they have to throw in a prospect it would be worth it because he could either give the Sox a lights out bullpen or become the closer and allow Jenks to be moved for a nice haul.</p> <p>Anyway, I would still rather have a sure thing in Sonnanstine than a big ? in Homer Bailey.</p>
