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

WSD nailed like three moves during the season.

Good thing we aren't trying to compete next two years

Common belief was they drafted safe college pitchers so they could use them as trade bait

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 01:23 AM) I've been traveling all day, anything new? Or just still a lot of speculation? Just that Pirates still interested despite signing Nova

Bell will end up as a DH

Don't think there's any way Meadows is available

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 12:58 AM) You really like Bell. Are you concerned that a deal that did not include Meadows (but did include Bell) would leave us without enough premier hitting prospects after moving our top 3 pieces? A little but can't fault them for getting best possible talent

Just a feeling but I don't think Pirates will give up Newman. I'm guessing Glasnow, Bell and Hayes is the structure of the deal

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 11:09 PM) Fine with me Better include Bell and Newman then

Josh Bell please

No way should Rutherford be the main piece coming back.

Mateo stock is going down. Deal would have to include Torres and Frazier, which seems unlikely

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 02:06 AM) He's not getting fired. They're competing almost every week with 3rd and 4th string players. Less about results and more just a feeling that ownership isn't pleased with him and Pace

Nice loss, Fox is so getting fired

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 17, 2016 -> 04:27 PM) Wasn't the weather getting bad already at that point? Nothing terrible.....Just amazing he could get three outs without Hearing the greatest speech ever made

Still don't know how Indians top of the order didn't crush him in the 9th

KLaw also raved about Carson Kelly and thought Sisco could be a solid starter at catcher

Fwiw KLaw mentioned in his chat today how awful the rumored Astros package would have been for Hahn. He also said he's not sure if that was the actual trade discussion.

Assuming this team can't compete, I will absolutely root for core players performing well primarily each game. If they end up losing that game, that's fine. If on a given night Rodon dominates for 7 innings, only to have Petricka blow it in a game that Anderson gets 3 hits.....well that's a good night. It's going to be a long two years for people on here if you let losses upset you.

Wonder what college team gets Hoiberg next year? Iowa St should bring him back

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 13, 2016 -> 03:06 AM) http://www.csnchicago.com/chicago-white-so...rks-brian-kenny Highly recommend this Eaton podcast with Chuck Garfein. Adam is honest and funny. Makes a LaRoche snipe at front office and also discusses the Sale jersey stuff. But most of all was very appreciative of sox front office and people. Thanks for recommendation. Really great interview

QUOTE (thedoctor @ Dec 13, 2016 -> 02:01 AM) this thread needs a rumor badly. You mean my idea of keeping Q and trading Rodon for Happ and Jimenez?
