QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 10:44 PM) The net of our two biggest trade chips and we got one future star position player (at best) for one current one. We got a lot of pitching. There is no reason to celebrate this as a "plan". Pitching depth in org was way overblown. Both Fulmer and Adams saw their stock plummet.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 10:25 PM) See that's the fun part. We would need an insane amount of luck just to get the staff back to where it was, and then you still don't have any position players. That isn't helping this franchise at all. Did Moncada die

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 10:20 PM) I've b****ed about the Sox more than anyone the last year but there's no reason to b**** about these guys just being pitchers right now. We still have a lot of pieces to move and one is an elite one. Now that we actually have a f***in direction for once lets let Rick finish this off...and he's doing a tremendous job gathering talent so far. Don't stop now boys. For now get best possible talent. Remember when people complained Cubs had too many SS

You all realized who is still beloved by the Nats? Yep, a Eaton/LaRoche reunion will be magical

Have fun playing eaton in CF

Nice trade

QUOTE (Soxnfins @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 11:01 PM) Would be so sweet if STL comes in and snatches him up with a deal including Kolten Wong. Someone being used as leverage besides us for once. I would lol hard if it happened twice. Wong was awful last year and expensive

Maybe Robertson in deal?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 10:50 PM) Still got Q to trade for bats as well. Clean up on arms with the Nats if you need to. Yep to Astros for Tucker, Reed, etc

Just hope Giolito is in it. Lopez can't be main guy

Watch Taylor be in it

Yep that amazing speech made it so heart of Cubs order was up against an average reliever. Heyward must have forgotten his speech when he had a horrible at bat with bases loaded.

I will be shocked if Q is still on the Sox come midnight

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 06:39 AM) I'm just throwing it out there as a discussion point. I think you can make a fair argument for either package of players. Wouldn't shock me in a year if Kopech is a top 10 prospect and considered to have more potential than Giolito

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 05:12 AM) If his physical checks out, it better be Soler++ Seems like a 1-1 deal

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 02:51 AM) I want them dealt separately or with Robertson attached to either. Agreed, unless Turner is available

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 02:33 AM) Rumors that Vic Fangio will be on his way out at the end of the season. That would suck, that's been one of the few bright spots. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/colum...206-column.html Fox just needs to go

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 05:12 PM) Cub fans think that Soler should bring back Wade Davis. Deal is close

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 07:15 PM) Hadn't thought of it that way, but if he steps out of line he will be fried there. The White Sox and the Chicago media really protected the guy. That won't happen in Boston. And if he tanks against divisional foes or melts down in the 2nd half, their fan base will destroy him

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 07:20 PM) i dont think thats the comparison he is making at all. That gang rape allegation/case didnt really happen until Rose was out the door. I think what fathom is talking about it Rose's general ignorance to his importance to the team, how he talked to the media, the "need to go to meetings" type stuff Yeah not referring to legal issue at all. More the stuff about not playing so he can walk at his kid's graduation, etc

Sox also reached out to Derek Holland according to reports

QUOTE (MEANS @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 07:12 PM) Dodgers showing interest in Frazier....keep it going RH Would love to find a way to get Bellinger

Just another player, feel nothing for him compared to PK and Buehrle. He is similar to D. Rose where he should have been a legend in Chicago but immaturity got the best of them

That won't go well for Boston

Funny how Chicago media loves this, but I'm sure it's because they think it's what Theo would do
