QUOTE (LDF @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 04:30 PM) i want Murph .... and or raburn Murphy is bad

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 03:25 PM) I agree and that's what Ive been saying. If the Baltimore rumors are true, Fowler took 3M less to play for the cubs. How? 11 mil a year from Baltimore for 1 year or 13 mil from the Cubs

QUOTE (LDF @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 04:24 PM) nothing but a token offer to low ball and claim to have tried. or that they thought he sucked on defense and would only take him at a huge bargain?

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 04:23 PM) They absolutely should offer that same deal to Austin Jackson would be fantastic, as even though Fowler is a bit better, the lack of comp pick for Jackson makes him more valuable in terms of salary

FA outfielders left are: Jackson, Murphy, RIOS, DeJesus, Raburn Jackson to the Sox seems like the obvious fit, with the other teams supposedly interested in him looking elsewhere or being rejected. Rangers biggest threat, IMO

QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 03:21 PM) Levine said that the Sox offered him 2/$17mil Time to take that money and sign Jackson

Cubs signed Victorino!

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 03:55 PM) To be honest, I'm not sure that would have been enough to lure Fowler away from a playoff conger and world series favorite. I definitely think, in Fowler's case, it's about more than just money. If I were in his shoes, I would have wanted to return to the cubs too. If he loved the Cubs as much as he says he does, then he would have just accepted the QO.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 03:07 PM) Honestly, the Sox never had a chance. Only way a team was getting him is if they offered something like 3/45, in my opinion

Great that Venable is gone. Didn't want him with the Sox. With that said, it scares me that Victorino is still lurking.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 02:34 PM) We (White Sox fans) get no respect because we suffer from this delusion. You're correct, White Sox fans are the only ones who ever say this about the Cubs. GMAB

Jackson rejects Angels offer of 5-6 mil http://m.angels.mlb.com/news/article/16546...-austin-jackson

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 12:57 AM) Danish seems like an Oakland player. Very non-traditional, but high achieving. I could see there being interest where other teams would be scared off. Well said

Oakland's MLB site has a headline saying Coghlan will be used in utility role.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 01:47 AM) When was the last time a player was traded twice in a relatively short amount of time? All sorts of crazy things are happening right now. Hard to use much from the past as historical references.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 12:40 AM) Why would the A's traded for him then. Would be stupid to trade for him and turn around to trade him. Maybe they trade him later but highly doubt the would now. If the Sox wanted Coughlin then why didn't the trade for him. Maybe the Cubs liked Brooks and targeted him in the deal? Maybe Cubs hate our pitching prospects?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 01:38 AM) Oh I think that was definitely the case. It randomly broke an hour or so before the Fowler news broke and it was a real head scratcher at the time. With Orioles breathing down Fowlers back it made sense to put the contract in ink while they could and not worry about Coughlin's return. Cubs even said trade had to be done before they could get Fowler due to money and playing time.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 12:32 AM) Wouldn't rule out Coughlin getting flipped again. Hope sox would be in on that. The A's have no need for him. They have Davis and Reddick on the corners. It would make sense if they get back a better player than who they gave up. I do wonder if Cubs had to rush trade in order to sign Fowler today.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 12:23 AM) Danish was also the youngest player in AA. He's the trade chip they should use it he has value. Not a lot of projection for him to be a starter. He's my pick for this year's Hawkins where he goes from top ten to not ranked in the system

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 01:20 AM) If you were Oakland, would you take that package for Reddick? Hell no

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 12:54 AM) You can feel however you want. You are being irrational though and people shouldn't take you seriously. I do agree with him in that the organization needs to give hitters a reason to come here. Pitchers come here to work with Cooper, but hitters don't seem interested despite the Cell being a hitters park

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 11:50 PM) https://mobile.twitter.com/excelsm/status/702994353841684481 Wow, Fowler's agent publicly calls out the Orioles. I don't know what to believe anymore. So who did Adam Jones talk to? The whole situation seems like a bad college football recruitment.

At this time, I doubt Cubs care very much about the Sox. They have all the fans they need and they care way more about the Cards, Pirates etc.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 10:52 PM) They have like 7 outfielders now. How are they going to be able to play them all? Burns, Canha, Reddick, Coghlan and Davis. They can just get rid of Fuld and Crisp is still banged up
