QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 02:37 AM) hello dodgers..... do you want a cost contol #2 sp in and al should be a weak #1 in the NL. it is going to cost. Seager, Holmes, Peraza and Farmer, then Urias

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 02:36 AM) As much as I hate to say it, Quintana needs to be put on the block now. The return for Miller (who isn't even as good a Q IMO) is amazing. hello dodgers..... do you want a cost contol #2 sp in and al should be a weak #1 in the NL. it is going to cost.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 02:30 AM) Hearing from multiple sources Ender Inciarte, Aaron Blair and Dansby Swanson are involved in the Shelby Miller deal. https://twitter.com/Buster_ESPN/status/674399598451023873 wow, they just got fleeced in my opinion.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 02:27 AM) Let's see how the Dodgers respond, because they have to. Seems like the Cueto market has been very quiet since he turned down Arizona's offer. dodger will need to make 2 very big moves.... a rp and a sp. cueto... in the NL maybe, but for more than 20 mil per??? i don't know. but the dodgers don't have a choice now.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 02:23 AM) f***...I wanted Inciarte on the Sox. this i am at a lost, overpayment for miller...... wow.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 02:19 AM) You like him as a player?! nope, but he tried his best. it just wasn't enuf. as a human being, i wish him the best.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 02:17 AM) This is like the White Sox signing a LH SP. more like the sox signing carroll and penciling him as a #3.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 02:13 AM) Lol. I think the Sox FO is smarter that. These last two moves the cubs made make no sense at all. Luckily it shouldn't take too long for cub fans to regret this. Edit: it does make some sense seeing as how the cubs got a starting pitcher in return from the Yanks but still... sox owner making the infamous 1 side trade...... it was horrible. then jr took over.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 02:05 AM) No kidding. The cubs sign a 35 year old for all that money and trade a 25 year old 3x all star to make room for the 35 year old. I don't think Hendry was that nuts. shhhh don't wake up the FO, i think the owners are doing a jr move.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 11:55 PM) Agreed. Obviously Levine's ass is not talking properly today. dang, i had to think about that. now i got it.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 01:18 AM) Dodgers trade: Yasiel Puig Julio Urias Joc Pederson Dodgers receive: Jose Fernandez Adam LaRoche John Danks Marlins trade Marcelo Ozuna Jose Fernandez Marlins receive: Julio Urias Carlos Rodon White Sox trade: Carlos Rodon Adam LaRoche John Danks White Sox Receive Yasiel Puig Marcelo Ozuna Joc Pederson Thoughts?? i really hate giving small answer without any extended explanations. but no. dodger will not do it, give up too much. sox give up rodon for the best of ozuna and puig.

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 01:46 AM) Maybe they have some of the PEDs he was using in the minors so he can boost his batting stats a little that was harsh. but i like him as a player, came everyday, no fan fare. i hope the best for him.

the musical Hamilton who would have thought a musical on alexander hamilton.... then again, who would have thought a musical on 1776 and that had a lot of great music. i hope the music is just as good or better. i am envious of not being in chi. for this.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 11:17 PM) Show me where I said that? Improving this team doesn't mean we're burning it down to go all in lol. I'm tired of watching a mediocre to crap product every year. then it is up to the owners to get it done. b/c they are the one that cause this problem.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 11:17 PM) Bruce Levine ‏@MLBBruceLevine 5m5 minutes ago Robin Ventura - " floating Chris Sale as trade is not a good idea. Chris Cwik ‏@Chris_Cwik 9m9 minutes ago Ventura says Mike Olt and Matt Davidson would be the current internal options at third. No surprise there. Bruce Levine ‏@MLBBruceLevine 3m3 minutes ago Ventura - Saladino could be our shortstop if we have pieces around him this really makes me depress.

the old day concept of destroyers protecting the aircraft carriers and having 4 and 8 inch gun to fire... i guess it is no more.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 08:53 PM) It goes like this: -Bowman calls Saad to offer him $5m a year -Saad is fishing but his dad answers -Saad's dad said that's a lowball offer and to make it work they should trade Kane -Bowman says "that's not happening" and hangs up -Saad comes in, talks to his dad and calls Bowman back to accept -Bowman says "sorry you're on your way to Columbus already" All that for $1m extra annually and people talk about Colby Rasmus father being a bad person to interfere in his sons business life.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 11:07 PM) What are you talking about? You want the Sox to stand pat? I don't. I want them to improve. one way or the other, the 2016-17 FA's doesn't look all the great for good power hitter who can play decent defense. no decent 2b, ss, or 3b.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 10:57 PM) Danks would be in the rotation probably carroll. or depending on what part of the season, if it is in july aug maybe Fulmer.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 08:59 PM) BTW what if it were the Marlins asking for Tim Anderson for Jose Fernandez. Sale Fernandez Quintana Me ChiSoxfn if the marlins are looking to send fernandez somewhere, then gordon and pardo will be traded as well i would send a nice pkg starting off with anderson to marlins for gordon and pardo.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 03:09 PM) Rick Hahn on MLB Network Talked about "untouchables", Chris Sale, Jose Abreu, and Jose Quintana Interesting note, while Hahn was talking about the untouchables he said "Carlos, err... Jose Quintana". Rodon is not an untouchable? Or maybe he has Cargo on the mind? even cl - Robertson wasn't on that list.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 09:38 PM) Yep, I've been suggesting this for a while now. He can be a bench bat and late inning defensive sub at 1B. Who knows, maybe at some point he catches fire and gets more atbats but otherwise, he rides the pine while cheerleading his teammates. Adam LaRoche: bench bat, late inng defensive replacement and jock holder extraordinaire. Maybe the Sox should look into a Melky trade. Platoon the DH spot with LaAvi, Eaton LF, Thompson CF and FA/Trade for RF. and most importantly, help give Jose A a really good time off when needed. defensively, the sox will lose nothing but gain, and well, who knows about his offense esp if Abreau is hurt.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 02:24 PM) Man they have some dumbass fans you mean you never figure it out, when they mention that they are sCrubs fans, then the answer is right there. go no further.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 04:59 PM) Eaton should go to LF and Trayce to CF in they could somehow move LaRoche. and here is me stirring the pot. yup, move him to the end of the bench.

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 04:08 PM) Ok, this shows how old I am, but in 1960 Veeck traded away terrific young talent - Johnny Callison, Earl Battey, Don Mincher, for veterans who were on the downside. With horrible results. i too do not know the answer, but could that have been generated by what the cost would have been if they would have held on??? i know veeck is no angle but i can look back and remember fondly of him.
