QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:40 AM) Jones isn't supposed to be back until August And he won't be nearly the same yet after comming back. 2016 is when he'll probably be Nate again.

Alright Jerry. You feel like opening up your wallet? I dare you to open up to sign Scherzer now.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:21 AM) This has been an awesome day for the baseball fan in me. It started out with me and Ken Griffey Jr (my favorite player, other than Frank Thomas, as a kid) having a short conversation on an airplane this morning. And ends with the Sox picking up major needs in Robertson and (likely) Samardzija. Awesome. I've said it many times here. Frank was the reason I became a sox fan. Griffey Jr. was the reason I played baseball (CF, left handed, etc.) I'm super jealous of you right now.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:16 AM) We traded you. We get to keep the wife and kids. Nah he can keep the kids. We will keep the wife though.

Danish was not involved just as I said!! I actually meant to post Trayce's name was rumored for 10 minutes prior.

I'm assuming we had to outbid the Yankees for his services.

46 million? Ew.. but it's a need.

I must admit I haven't even processed the 10 million annually he's going to get. I just saw his name and became happy.

Danish is awesome.

We now have our closer boys and girls!

Just got the link on my phone as well. 4 year deal.

Whoa.. mlb network has been talking about the white sox for over 3 minutes now.

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 11:15 PM) There's no good reason to think Micah Johnson is ready for MLB. He played at a pretty "meh" level in AAA last year. It also remains unclear whether he's an acceptable defender. All indications are that he needs more time. I agree he needs more time, but he played pretty "meh" because he was pretty much playing injured most of it. I've seen him make some highlight reel plays on duck snorts cause of his speed but I've also seen him make some wtf plays on routine grounders. I trust the sox brass on their assessment on him. His speed is game changing for sure.

Chris Johnson is awful, so it should come as no surprise they wanna do that.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 10:55 PM) When I wake up tomorrow this thread will be on page 180 And I'll say half of it will be posters b****ing about the deal led by peavy44.

Brett Favre's first 100 games: 68-32 Aaron Rodgers' first 100 games: 68-32

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 10:48 PM) Poster JDsdirtysox (I think, JD something) posted it, and someone else said he has sox connections. Seem to fit bucket's "some will hate this" narrative well. No he didn't. Just said it was done and Danish is in it. (That was me who said he has a source btw) Someone posted the rumored deal from a twitter guy named rickslat.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 10:41 PM) I still think we will move Viciedo. I'd have to agree.

Someone please look out for wite on suicide watch btw.

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 10:35 PM) So if this is the trade, Hahn keeps Alexei while Anderson develops. Plus a solid rotation, with a closer the next target. I like the Hahn-ster a whole lot. I still think we're gonna be keeping Alexei a year too late after this season. With that said, I'm glad he isn't in this particular deal.

Let's hope guys like Adams and Montas work out then.. since that is who essentially the sox are more or less riding on.

FYI JD also has a source in the org.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 10:18 PM) Danish AND Semien? Sounds steep. If that deal is correct, I can see why bucket said some might not like it.

QUOTE (JDsDirtySox @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 10:17 PM) Deal is done... and Danish is in it. Aw s*** maybe he tweeted that as a good trade for them/us.
