Sources tell Butchie, that the three team deal rumored at the deadline was between the Sox the Pad's and Seattle. Now get this. Where Theo would have sent Clay and  two prospects to Seattle, they would send two of those three prospects and one of their own and Russell Branyan to San Diego. The Pads would have sent Adrian Gonzalez to Seattle. And we would have taken King Felix !! Butchie’s sources tell him that the Mariners nixed the deal the morning of the deadline

WOW !!!

and no this would not have affected, the deal he did make
