Sounds like Cubs might be going the hardest after Lackey. I don't think that would be a great fit for them.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 07:14 PM) Four letter first and last-names have done well on sox, fyi. Jose Abreu, Joey Cora. Good sign,imo. Should have signed Paul Bako instead of Avila

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 07:08 PM) If like, Jason Coats could land us Nova, wouldn't you do it? Yep, and then get the best deal for Erik Johnson if you hold on to Q.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 07:49 PM) That article doesn't even say that the White Sox are interested. Just that they have been in the past. It's all speculative. Interesting that it says Sox were interested in Chavez

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 06:44 PM) He's still not better than anybody in the rotation currently, imo. If they trade for him, likely means Q or Johnson is gone

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 01:52 AM) I'm hoping for Frazier Thing is, if you go all out and trade the farm for Frazier, then you better be willing to spend on more upgrades as well. It makes no sense to have Sale/Q/Abreu/Frazier the next two years if you're surrounding them with junk (outside of Eaton and Rodon).

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 12:49 AM) I'm on the Lawrie bandwagon right now. Took a little bit but I'm on it pending the cost. Ideally, I'd love to see the Sox get away with trading Sanchez/Danish for him and giving Johnson the chance to play 2nd base. That would be the best chance at possible difference makers on the infield for the future.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 01:46 AM) I have that same feeling. I'd much rather take a chance on Lawrie remembering how to field again. He had been a strong defensive player until last year. It just seemed like him and Semien were in such a funk defensively.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 01:40 AM) That would anger me so much. Not only is he pretty mediocre, but I also feel like he's Crede-esque in terms of consistently being banged up.

My prediction is Freese on a 3 year deal...and it won't go well.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 01:32 AM) CarGo can hit outside of Coors. Sit down with that nonsense And will cost way more than most project on here.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 05:47 PM) He was projected to make $1 million in arb so I don't understand this. Common theme seems to be that arb projections are way too low

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 03:54 AM) But they still suck. No offensive threat at the PG spot. They play 4 on 5. Unless they hit shoits like in the first half they have no chance Not sure how Groce survives another for another season.

QUOTE (daggins @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 03:52 AM) Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes Right after Tyler Flowers was non-tendered, scout: "He should tell them thank you. Bet he gets more than his arb raise in this market." This is the main reason that it makes no sense. Chances are excellent that the guy they replace Flowers with is either worse or similarly bad. They clearly are looking for more offense from the catching position. Sounds good to me

Or who knows, maybe they didn't like how he called games when Sale pitched

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 03:49 AM) I hope it's just conditioning I'm sure you have watched him more than me, but from my POV it seems he has no idea how to play without fouling

I thought Leron Black would be so much better. That injury has made him pretty worthless

I'm excited for the change

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 03:10 AM) Ben Simmons and Deangelo Russell were on the same high school team Simmons sucked tonight

I would be very nervous about getting Lucroy after his head injury last year

Mesoraco is a good hitter, but he would cost a ton

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 02:30 AM) Sale loved throwing to Flowers, wonder how he feels about this Based on how he performed last year, I think a new personal catcher might help

Pretty happy with this, as I won't miss watching Flowers go weeks without making good contact. With that said, the plan seems to be to go for it instead of trading guys away
