caulfield12 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Adam Eaton was so great he never managed to make it to the SoxTalk banner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Some reaction from the Winter Meetings: Aaron Fitt @aaronfitt 8s If I were a #Nationals fan, I would be equal parts incredulous and furious. Three ridiculous arms. What a coup for the #WhiteSox. Quote Casey Stern @CaseyStern now Consensus on the floor here from GM's: As bad a panic move as they've seen at the meetings.

TaylorStSox Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Giolito sounds like a Don Cooper dream as he already has a plus 2 seamer and change to go along with a big 4 seamer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thad Bosley Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 06:09 PM) The irony here is that those are the exact sorts of players you will be watching this year. Maybe. But instead of watching such dread with no help in sight from the minor leagues, now we can enjoy the anticipation of this new and talented wave of young players arriving on the scene in the next year or so. We had no such hopes in these previous horrible years under the misguided direction the team went during that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panerista Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) The Nationals are getting torched for this move by the media. Their press conference is clearly indicating they have been completely duped. Edited December 7, 2016 by Deadpool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 We got Quintana for free and Eaton for Hector Santiago. And they're probably going to net us 5 top 50 prospects. That's insane... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Scott Krinch @scottiekrinch The #WhiteSox turned Hector Santiago (a 30th round pick) into the No. 3 and No. 38 prospect, and Nats 2016 first-round pick. Straight heist. Could not agree more. The difference in potential talent is absurd going from Santiago to Giolito, Lopez, and Dunning.

We pretty much dealt Santiago for Eaton which turned into Gilito, Lopez, and Dunning. We shall see how it works out to see if we won twice.

Have a feeling we'll get a headline position player for him, along with pitching. My theory is that you can never trade a TOR guy without acquiring some form of pitching talent back.

caulfield12 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Now Renteria must be experiencing deja vu. The big question is who manages the next White Sox playoff team. Cleveland won't be able to hold their window open for more than two more years, three tops. And we're far ahead of the rest of the division in jumpstarting in two days...not to mention the pot of gold tv revenues that no other divisional team will have access to. This young team will be a much easier sell than the 2013-2016 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offseason isn't over yet. Heck, the winter meetings aren't over yet. It's quite possible, if not probable, that Hahn will convert Q into a similar haul but only of a positional player nature. Then we will have replenished both our pitching and our hitting deficits. Isn't that enough to turn your frown upside down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a smaller deal like Robertson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
