Just throwing this out there, but wonder if Cubs could be in play with the possibility they trade one of their young stars. If they want to sell low on Russell as part of a package....yes please

QUOTE (shakes @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 06:05 PM) Hahn is definitely a good negotiator. I trust he is getting good value on trades. It can be hard to be as patient as he is, and when you get a group of teams interested one the GM's will be less patient and give in. If Q goes first, the market will get real interesting. Not sure the effect it will have on Gray's value, but if it is a big enough return I would bet a couple of new names will hit the market that otherwise wouldn't have. What I have found telling is that Houston seems to be kicking the tires on some pitchers that don't seem to be available. That tells me that the Sox and A's have a high price tag and they figure if they are willing to meet that package they might as well see what else they could get for it. I don't think Astros believe Q is a good fit for their park

I did think it would be quite funny if the Sox took Torres, Fowler and Kaprielian and let Herm work his magic

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 06:03 PM) Hopefully its just the ridiculous trade scenarios that have been bandied about around here that are off the table and not the reasonable offers that we have discussed on here that contained an elite prospect or two. You mean no Torres and Frazier?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 05:59 PM) I'm basing my opinion off what rabbit has said. To me, it's less about the Sox settling and more he's implying some of the names discussed on here are off the table.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 05:53 PM) I can't imagine anything happens today with the all-star game. MLB wouldn't be happy to have it overshadowed. If anything happens, tomorrow would likely be the earliest, or I guess late tonight. Unless you're ARod

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 06:47 PM) Would something big actually happen on the day of the AS game? Nope but could be announced tomorrow or Thursday. When WSD had the shields info, it took about a week to be completed

Awesome game for Collins. Nice to see the slam came off a LHP and it was a belt high fastball

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 04:14 AM) Wtf was that tease? Steph? DIXIE? Brothers first guess was gable is his son

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 10, 2017 -> 05:40 PM) This could be very interesting. If the Sox were willing to back off of the two top guys, and take say 1 top guy plus 4-5 B guys instead, is the deal still worth it? Quality over quantity for me.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 10, 2017 -> 02:35 PM) Quintana and the bullpen pieces fit what the Brewers are doing rather nicely. Send them Shields and Swarzek with the Sox eating the remaining salary for Shields as well. Why would Brewers want Shields?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 10, 2017 -> 03:59 PM) Tatis gets brought up in every other thread about how great he is, and how stupid the Sox are. It is the cause of the day. He was actually called a "super prospect" the other day. Yep he has all the makings of a top 5 prospect in a year or two. Some scouts suggested to the Baseball Prospectus expert that he's a top ten guy right now

Another setback for Jones...really disappointing they couldn't flip him this year http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/news/article/241...ooked-at-again/

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 10, 2017 -> 03:40 AM) Put the title on Braun for a long time. Yes

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 10, 2017 -> 02:02 AM) So Zack Burdi got pulled from the game with an apparent arm issue.. Yikes. That's concerning, hope it's not another TJS for the Burdi family.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 9, 2017 -> 09:10 PM) Not very impressed with Hader or Ortiz but Trent Clark fits the mold of what the Sox are looking for in hitters. I know Milwaukee wouldn't trade three outfielders (Brinson/Phillips/Clark) in the same trade but one can dream right? Clark has shown the last two years his hit tool is mediocre

Why are they throwing so many fastballs? Keep getting two strikes on lefties and then throwing fastballs.

Awful pitch selection this inning

Joe Ross just left with an injury for the Nats. Velocity was scary low for him today

Well that was great

That might be the worst pitch call of the year. 1-2 count and you throw a fastball?

Timmy!!! 5 hard hit balls this series

Wish Kahnle threw his change up more. It's his best pitch by far

Seems like Kahnle allows a run every outing of late. His trade value has definitely plummeted
