Thank you Josh Bellamy.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 11:37 PM) Hahn sure does know how to nail interviews. Can listen to him all day. Just fantastic.

QUOTE (beautox @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 04:43 PM) I like the alleged Pirates offer but that seems steep even after seeing what Sale and Eaton got, i could see one of Glasnow or Meadows + Bell or Newman + Mitch Keller. Either package and I would be happy. Yes please. Big fan of Meadows, much moreso than Bell and I really like Newman. Don't know about Keller much, but his peripherals in the minors look damn good.

Forrest Whitley is another interesting prospect the Stros have. 1st round high school pick in 2016. He's risky as a young pitcher, but he's got enormous upside. I still want the sox to acquire young position prospects in a Quintana deal however. Doesn't have to be ALL position prospects, but 2-3 would be ideal.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 9, 2016 -> 11:01 AM) Seattle does not have the prospects for a Q deal. I liked Lewis in the draft, but he took a big injury during the season and who knows how the recovery will go? Torn ACL. He should be just fine for this coming year. He's ahead of schedule in his rehab. (Must feel good to be young and heal quick)

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 9, 2016 -> 10:33 AM) It is going to take more than Tucker to land Quintana. Yea I put Tucker + in my post so I don't know where you were getting at there. As iamshack said, they are lukewarm in including Martes as well.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 9, 2016 -> 10:39 AM) So did I. Wanted him with the pick we used on Jace Fry I believe. A few of us did. I think Dirty was the first one on that bandwagon at the time.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 10:44 PM) f*** them. They're also showing a reluctance to move Martes. They already cost themselves Sale by not including Bregman. Now they might possibly cost themselves Quintana by not including Tucker +. If I was an Astros fan, I would be pissed at my GM.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 10:48 AM) Fedde. Still got your boy Robles too, but that's probably unrealistic.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 09:35 AM) I hate to sound like Caulfield but Seth Beer would be Brooks Boyer's wet dream. He would have no problem coming up stuff for him. His jersey sells alone would be incredible here if he pans out.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 09:34 AM) For the outfield, I think you need to get rid of Avi. But I have no problem with guys like Tilson, Coats and Liriano getting playing time (along with Melky of course if he's still here, which he shouldn't be). That's three guys who can play competent defense That's what I want to see. Help out this pitching staff this season the young guys and the vets. Hell, I'll throw out Carlos Sanchez' name too. Sure he might hit .200, but he is excellent defensively at 2B. Get a catcher who is at least average back there and a solid pitch framer, outfielders who aren't Avi bad out there, etc.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 09:22 AM) I hope you are open to us directing all of your conversation with this coworker. Ask him if he prefers lostfan or ezio auditore :lolhitting

His Twitter for the Twitterheads here.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 08:28 AM) Dang I wanted in on the Yankees raiding They could've picked Tyler Webb, but passed on him. Covey looks like an interesting bullpen option to me. Let the kid air out that sinking fastball from the pen.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 08:04 AM) Hector Rondon was rendered useless by his injury too. Did they "overpay" for Chapman? Sure. Was Chapman a bit disappointing? Sure But they HAD to have another reliever and flags fly forever. Bingo. Well said.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 11:09 PM) They in spite of Chapman, methinks. Or at least, they paid for shutdown innings and they got blown saves and shakey successful ones. They don't make it that far without him bottom line. Unless you think Pedro Strop was the answer it was a clinching move for them.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 09:40 PM) I don't understand anyone's anger at the direction we are taking. We are finally doing something with a distinct plan. It was mostly one poster who I'm still hoping had his account hacked.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 11:04 PM) Yanks aren't going to spend that much money on a closer and set-up guy. No way. You dare doubt the evil empire?!?!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 11:00 PM) The Yankees are insane. Next, they'll be taking Robertson back again (well, they already tried that once, if not twice)... I mean Robertson was a pretty sweet SU guy for them when Mariano was around.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 10:36 PM) Wow, so the Yankees loaned Chapman to the Cubs for a couple months for Gleyber Torres, Billy McKinney, Rashad Crawford, and Adam Warren, and then got him right back. Mastery by Cashman. More like good deal for both teams since Cubs got a World Series ring out of it.

I actually like this deal more than the Sale trade. Very happy we got Lopez. Big fan of his. Giolito was an obvious get for Eaton but didn't think we'd get BOTH of them. Dunning is just icing on the cake.

A tad light, but absolutely love Moncada and Basabe looks damn good from what I've read.

I wonder if the Sawks offer that up for Quintana as well if the Sox prefer the Nats package.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 09:06 AM) But at the same time, if you're the White Sox and you're trading Chris Sale, you just can't settle. Either you get your guy (Turner) or you hold on to Sale/trade him elsewhere. Someone will bite eventually. If they don't (unlikely), then we have a HOF-caliber pitcher on our team. Completely agree. That's why to me, Trea Turner needs to be in this deal. Guys like Chris Sale are not traded like this, especially at 27 with 4+ years of control left. But with our incompetent organization, we have to. This is a franchise changing/saving/etc. move. They absolutely cannot afford to mess this up. (Similar to the Bears draft this coming offseason)
