Stretch!!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 09:29 PM) The ironic thing is, for Samardjiza's value, you need him to pitch well. If he pitches well, that lessens the odds he's dealt. I hope the Sox win 12-0. The draft pick is always a fall back option. It will be interesting to see if he isn't traded, if some of the proposals are ever leaked. I think if they were for future HOFers, he would have been traded by now even if they don't want to wave a white flag. I think if they could have gotten MLB-ready offensive prospects for him, he would have been gone. As we talked about after the Kazmir deal, most of the better hitters traded at this time aren't close to being ready in a year, which wouldn't fit Hahn's plan.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 09:36 PM) I'm calling the unprecedented 75 page game thread tonight. Including an epic meltdown if Samardzija pitches poorly

I can only imagine the overreaction in this thread tonight if Samardzija gets torched and the Sox lose.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 06:44 PM) Sean Manaea going to Oakland Wow

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 07:18 PM) What's the story on Wheeler? I'd do this trade, I'm not sure the Reds do it though. Sox would have to take on Bruce's entire contract, as Reds are trying to cut costs.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 07:16 PM) They gave a top 100 prospect (not top 50) and a couple of other interesting pitching prospects and got to dump Reyes' contract in return for Tulo. Those interesting pitching prospects are the type we gave for, oh, say the rent of the mediocre Brett Myers in 2012. Hoffman has a chance to be a top 10 type prospect in a year if he stays healthy.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 06:06 PM) So, do people still feel like Samardzija gets traded at this point? It feels like they're just going to stand pat to me. They'll probably wait until the 31st to make up their mind, which is the right thing to do given how things are going.

Jay Bruce for Montas, Avi Garcia and Andre Wheeler

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 05:28 PM) Q for Norris, Sanchez and Alford. Throw in Pentecost, and you have a deal

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 05:17 AM) I wonder if this TOR deal for Tulo effects that now They for sure will acquire a pitcher.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 06:11 AM) I'd sooner have my nose smashed Cena style. U Can't Smell Me

Morosi reporting Norris not in deal

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 05:07 AM) Not sure they even know as of tonight. Doubt the deal parts are changing before Friday. Giants have very little in terms of hitting prospects. Tor will be desperate for a starter now.

Almost guaranteed that they now trade Reyes, IMO

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 05:34 AM) Where is Reyes going to play? Back to Mets maybe for pitching?

https://twitter.com/rockiesump Check out the ball 2 to Fowler

Just brutal, seems like a possibly season-saving win for them. Cubs bandwagon back in full force, I'm sure. No Chicago sports radio for me tomorrow.

f***...Bryant walkoff cause the umpire's blown call

I wonder if Fowler's wife will go on twitter saying he got saved by the ump on what should have been strike 3?

It's nice to see that Eaton and Melky's contracts don't look like horrible deals anymore.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 04:32 AM) @philgrogers: With Quintana out of picture, 2016 White Sox rotation would have Sale, Rodon, Danks & 2 from Fulmer/Johnson/Drabek/Beck/Montas/Danish mix. My ideal situation is trading Q and M. Johnson for Puig, and then extending Samardzija

CarGo just destroys the Cubs

I'm going to guess the Cubs trade for Papelbon in the next few days.

Boom, easy win
