QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 01:22 PM) Actual complaining about losing Conor Gillaspie? What's it to you ? Oh yea forgot you snuggle with Beckham.

Let US Rock !

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 10:13 PM) Every move Hahn wants to make he has to clear through KW it would get old fast. Exactly. What's the point of being GM if you're not the one in charge. It's an empty title. Ever heard the phrase "too many cooks spoil the broth" ?

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 10:09 PM) KW is in charge. If that's the case , Hahn may resign out of frustration if he can't implement his own ideas on effecting changes.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 09:57 PM) I think Shark to Toronto in a deal that Sox get Hoffman with 2 others. Toronto might have given up the prospects the Sox wanted in the Tulo trade. Don't know who the minor leaguers are yet .

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 09:55 PM) Deals for Shark to TOR and SF in place. The deals are sitting there. KW is still "all in" on '16 and Rick is not so there's that drama right now. I was just thinking KW and Hahn have to be butting heads right now a lot. Who's in charge here ?

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 09:40 PM) Maybe Reyes is in the deal ? Thank you very much

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 09:57 PM) How long before Tulowitzki gets injured on that stadium turf? For all of those wishing he'd get back into playoffs contention, it's not like he was traded to the Cardinals, Royals or Pirates. Without some more pitching, TOR has far from an automatic path to the 2nd WC. You beat me to the punch about the turf. I say he gets inured again before the season is over.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 09:44 PM) Why do the Rockies want Jose Reyes? Dude it's essentially a salary dump trade only they also get back a quality player. Better then putting Tulo on waivers and just hoping someone eats the whole contract.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 08:34 PM) My ideal situation is trading Q and M. Johnson for Puig, and then extending Samardzija Have you lost your mind ? I expect more from you. You give up the younger cost controlled pitcher just to resign the older expensive pitcher who won't be worth the money he'll be paid at the end of the deal? Are you trying to cripple the Sox financially ?

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 09:36 PM) Agreed. Shark stays if Q is gone IMO. And what good is Shark staying . It would only be for the rest of this year . He is not resigning with the Sox. He is testing free agency . Giving up a cost controlled Q and resigning Shark at huge dollars and long years would be wacko !

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 09:34 PM) Where is Reyes going to play? Maybe Reyes is in the deal ?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 09:22 PM) If we're going for it, I don't want to give up any of the four main starters for Puig. If you could build a package around prospects for Puig - I'm 100% in. But otherwise, the Sox need Sale-Q-Shark-Rodon intact to make a push. You want to keep Shark ? If we get any decent ballplayers Shark is going to have to be moved and replaced by Johnson .Shark alone won't do it though . Has to be bigger.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 09:21 PM) I like the Q-Puig swap idea. I don't understand why anyone wants to trade Q with Samardzija also leaving That hurts the staff big time.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 08:59 PM) I don't know. I'm not guessing that teams are lining up to take some of the Rockies hitters and their salaries. Bmags was right on. A few years ago, Cargo/Tulo were primetime players...now, you're looking at being on the wrong end of some of these contracts. I'd take the gamble with Cargo. Not so much with Tulowitzki. Exactly even if a big time trade goes down the Sox aren' t going to take on a lot of salary. That's why Puig is ideal .

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 08:54 PM) Oh if we could package Shark for Puig I'd love it. Issue is Puig is cost controlled. Shark is a rental. Doesn't match up. Matches up with other pieces involved. Weren't we talking about a blockbuster ?

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 08:45 PM) It's me connecting the dots. I know for a fact KW is itching. On rundown today Phil Rogers mentioned COL and CWS as a match for maybe Tulo or CarGo and threw out Tim andersons name. Now all the Q talk is coming out after we won. I don't think there's any way they move Q . And even trading Shark now especially right before his next start tomorrow in the middle of a streak would devastate the team moral I think. This is going right down to the wire. I think its possible to match up with the Dodgers. Maybe Shark , Eric Johnson and others for Puig. It would generate huge buzz around the Sox and their fanbase. Edit: Ok my bad Have to keep Johnson to replace Shark . But I still think IF there's a trade and who the hell knows at this point it could be a big deal with lots of moving pieces but not Q . Losing Shark and Q would be a huge loss.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 08:38 PM) Funny that were on a roll now we're being talked about as blockbuster deal for a bat. Really ? Where you hearing that ? I've suggested a deal could be a blockbuster.

Puig now available for the right deal according to Nightengale on Twitter Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 48m48 minutes ago The #Dodgers have let teams know that Yasiel Puig is available in the right deal, but teams showing much more interest in their prospects.

Dodgers saying Puig available for right deal per Nightengale.

Wild and crazy game .Now the big 3 of the staff starting with Samardzija tomorrow. 9 extra base hits 7 doubles 2 triples. 6 guys in the lineup with 2 or more hits. Didn't miss LaRoche at all.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 08:07 PM) Why are we paying Robertson this much money again? It's almost like he forgot he was once successful with the Yankees against the Red Sox. Yikes. He got the job done. All that matters.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 08:06 PM) What are you talking about? The Sanchez play? He went all out there No he's talking about letting the guys on 1st advance to 2nd base uncontested . Not recorded as a steal but defensive indifference.

Whew ! Yessssss

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 07:43 PM) Or deal him before you have to non-tender him in a few years Hey hey hey ! Uncalled for !
