Nightengale is really wringing out this sweet sweet rumor he was given.

QUOTE (rowand's rowdies @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 08:51 AM) So which 2 wins last season do we blame for not getting Burdi? Picking an OFer to trade for cash to an AL team with a wide open bullpen and a few bech spots open as well? Can anyone explain this logically? What am I missing? Yeah definitely concerned about losing to prop up our rule 5 position give me a break.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 08:51 AM) Meghan Montemurro‏Verified account @M_Montemurro 3m3 minutes ago More The Phillies traded RHP Nick Burdi, their Rule 5 draft pick, to the Pittsburgh Pirates for international slot money. *please use that international slot money to sweeten up your deal to *looks down* baltimore*

What a brutal 24 hrs.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 08:27 AM) I could see us trading Tocci plus something to the Giants for Burdi. Yeah this would be great, but I would guess it’s to someone that was behind us right?

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 08:25 AM) Now I hate this. You were so in love with it before!

QUOTE (cjgalloway @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 08:25 AM) What does this mean? Means we kept Peter / Guerrero

Probably kept Guerrero right? Confirmed.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 08:22 AM) Problem is, the 72 hour window doesn't fit the "sell him on Sox culture" narrative, unless Sox culture is significantly more potent than I thought it to be. It’s a great PowerPoint.

Yay more outfielders. Thought we were short on AAAA guys there.

Just hoping for that good ole Orioles trade canceled at ownership because phantom medical issue.

I miss when this is what I was most excited about

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 07:13 AM) This makes sense and was my original plan/scenario. However, the more I think about it, I think trading him at the deadline would be counter-productive unless it were to a team with no chance of extending him. I mean, I guess from Sox perspective if they had to trade him at deadline it’s acknowledgement he ain’t coming back.

The yanks portion of this may be a “if he’s not signed by deadline” discussion, but still not with it imo.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 06:19 AM) STL is getting after it this winter, are willing to trade from a deep farm and are linked to both Machado and Abreu. Let's have a threesome! If we trade for Machado I think it would be crazy to trade Abreu.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 06:16 AM) Shiotinbfg sounds painful Kyyihgnke, you have no idea.

You know who just did a lot to differentiate themselves in a marketplace? The mariners with ohtani. Shiotinbfg ourselves in the foot really badly here.

I was very confident going to bed we wouldn’t do something stupid and now I have lost that and am just at a loss. Trading Kopech for one year of Machado? What on earth could they be thinking. Please, please let this fall through.

The giants farm system is garbage.

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 09:15 PM) I can assume BAL favors a deal with STL, SF, CWS, PHI, and NYY in that order ? Why’s that? I’d prolly rank philly first.

I really respect how hard Lopez plays every night.

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 08:36 PM) Any speculation on what the offer was? I saw many said O's like Rutherford I hope it was 3-4 players that would obviously fail a physical.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 12, 2017 -> 04:03 PM) Mentioned that in the Abreu thread. Hahn and Hostetler were hinting that since this past draft for 2018. They hinted at it for last draft, but I do think with the new allotments it will be harder to get those 2nd 3rd round high schoolers when you are only 10th. Will be easier with our budget this year.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 08:31 PM) If Hahn truly feels having him for a year will make it easier to sign him, why has he been affected by others contract status who actually have longer terms? Why would he be concerned about Chris Sale, he would know the culture and fall in love with resigning for less. The 2 years left with Avi and Abreu wouldn't be an issue. Because he isn’t interested in the second contracts with those players

I miss dealing with the Nats where every offer leaked immediately.
