QUOTE (Baron @ Jan 10, 2017 -> 05:02 AM) What would you rather do if you were the opposing team Overpay for a pitcher on the open market plus not giving up your 1st round pick. The free agent market has some really good names next year. or Trading a huge amount of prospects for a very good pitcher but your emptying your farm our quite a bit Pirates could never afford to pay for a top FA starter

It is funny that probably the 3 players that were most upset about the LaRoche fiasco are the only ones to get traded. The longer this goes, the funnier the conspiracy gets

Based on rumored packages, I'm fine with Q being on the team until the deadline

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 10, 2017 -> 03:21 AM) Guys if Meadows was already on the table Q would be a pirate. Agreed just hate the idea of Newman being the 2nd best bat we get in return for three best trade chips

D. Rose missed the game tonight and people don't know where he is. Hope he's ok

Would be pissed if it's Glasnow,Newman and a prospect not Bell (assuming no meadows)

QUOTE (OnlyGillis @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 10:42 PM) Two years ago suspended for amphetamines and last year broke his hand when slugging his roommate. What stupid thing is next to delay his development. Everyone says he was justified in regards to fighting his teammate

Getting Newman as main hitter in a Q trade would be disappointing. Also, watching video of Martes pitch, he sure looks like a future reliever.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 5, 2017 -> 09:45 PM) I think it's relevant in this thread, but the Rays turned down a Martes, Tucker, Paulino ++ for Archer. That is crazy. Makes me think there could be a deal between Sox and Astros

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 5, 2017 -> 01:16 AM) So "indefinite" means 1 game in Duke. Clearly intimidated by GT after their UNC upset

One of the contributors on the Garfien podcast yesterday sure seemed to think/know that the Hammel is interested in the Sox

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 25, 2016 -> 10:34 PM) WSD tweets that Yankees backed out which I'm fine with. I think Pirates nut up and trade for Q and keep Cutch Want nothing to do with pirates trade unless Meadows is main piece or Bell is second piece.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 06:05 PM) Why doesn't it make sense for the Pirates? And maybe the Yankees think McCutchen is likely to bounce back into a 6 WAR player and quickly become more valuable than the players they gave up. I think people tend to overreact too much to one bad year. McCutchen could be an excellent buy low candidate for certain teams at the right price. Pirates giving up Cutch, Glasnow and more just seems like a lot. Yankees don't have much need for Cutch this year either

Just want to predict the 3-way trade blows up. Doesn't make sense for Yanks and Pirates

Rutherford was a top 5 talent in the draft

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 04:29 PM) Yeah, I'd rather not get back Keller and get back more bats. This team needs position prospects, otherwise we are just pushing the rebuild even out further down the road, assuming the pitching actually works out. Keller is way more valuable than Newman, IMO

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 04:19 PM) Would you guys be happy with Glasnow/Diaz from the Pirates, and Rutherford/Andujar from the Yankees? Probably, as Rutherford might be better than Meadows. I will go and cry as I look at the Josh Bell poster in my room.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 04:13 PM) Rutherford and Keller are the most exciting pieces of the names mentioned IMO. I might like Keller as much as Glasnow. Read a couple of scouts saying Keller is definitely better than Glasnow

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 05:08 PM) I think the White Sox end up getting Glasnow, Rutherford, Andujar, Keller, and I really like that package. If they could somehow swing getting Diaz as well, it would be an outright fantastic package. I just can't see Glasnow, Keller and Cutch being traded for Q

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 04:02 PM) Nope, it seems like it would have to be just Glasnow. Yankees should have to give up a little more. Something like Glasnow from Pirates, Rutherford, Judge, and Andujar from the Yankees. Wonder if Robertson could be sent to Yankees here. Those three are a lot for Yanks to give up for cutch

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 04:57 PM) Glasnow, Rutherford, Keller, Newman. Agreed but more likely is Glasnow, Rutherford, Andujar and Diaz

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 04:56 PM) We should play a game of pick 4. If Pirates are getting rid of Cutch, I can't see them giving up much more than Glasnow

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 04:55 PM) Shields was a typical Sox move that a blind man from another dimension could have predicted. Anderson's call up was easy to predict because everyone knew the Sox signed Rollins to work with Tim on his defense as well as to hold SS so the Sox could wait on the callup to be the exgra year of control. Your examples further back up what I'm saying. Also not going to take trade rumors serious from a guy that loves to post the most random and meaninglsss nonsense. Pizza plug from his favorite spot down the street, how drunk he got last night or about the size of the dump he took this morning. Yep, he's a good source alright. He called the exact Shields deal a week before finalized

Seems like an awful lot for Sox to be getting back. Can't see Glasnow and Keller being involved
