Ya I don't think Favre is near Rodgers.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 09:05 AM) In hindsight that was literally the single best decision in human history. I was so damn mad when he got left off the roster. I wanted him on it instead of Damaso though but either way, no complaints in hindsight ha.

Refresh my memory on Nate, isn't he supposed to be out some of this upcoming season? What's his deal again?

Strange.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 08:39 AM) The Yankees, with Robertson and Betances, was 69%. The Yankees were middle of the pack in that number. What the hell is this supposed to prove? Robertson was at 89 percent on his own.

He belongs in the rotation right out of spring training imo. I don't think that's going to happen but I think it gives us the best chance of winning and long term I think it's best for his development too.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 08:20 AM) While I'm not a huge JS fan, his presence makes the rotation significantly better and the Sox really didn't give up much unless one of the top pitching suspects is in with Bassitt. He is the Gio Gonzalez of the trade. I know you like Bassitt but he's no where near the prospect that Gio was. He was never pegged as a long term starter for this organization to begin with and that's one of the reasons they had no problem getting rid of him I'm sure.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 07:45 AM) I'd imagine that the odds of Alexei getting traded now are pretty slim 0 chance at this point. We're trying to win this year, Alexei isn't going anywhere.

Agreed that Q is better but I couldn't care less at the moment as we have both in our rotation now!

I bet they're not maxed out, people have been under stating the amount of money they've have to spend all offseason imo. I bet they're also counting on this offseason buzz to sell some tickets.

Oh hey guys we're a pretty good team.

Great news to wake up to! Welcome Shark!!

Not worried about the payroll at all. I think we have more money to spend than people were predicting anyways but if Hahn wants Melky and Robertson/KRod then they'll work out the payroll issues.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 10:34 PM) ? He meant Danish.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 10:28 PM) Jose Abreu being an MVP type player changed the plan. Absolutely.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 10:25 PM) Andy Martino @MartinoNYDN Not only Are #WhiteSox getting Samardzija, source confirms, but theyre not done making moves. All in. No surprise there. We still got money to spend and a core in place. Go time.

Ok I'm getting impatient now.

What do we think Billy is having for dinner?

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 10:08 PM) Hahn's clearly watching the end of Raw before finalizing the deal. This potential deal is keeping me awake and making me watch this stupid end of raw

Thanks for nothing mlb network.

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 09:57 PM) mlbtrtaderumors is fun...someone said the A's should ask for Montas,Danish and Semien Well they should. Anderson too.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 09:52 PM) Even if a Samardzija deal is close to being finalized, it doesn't sound as if the #Athletics are planning to announce anything tonight. https://twitter.com/susanslusser/status/542164238467231744 Lame.

So how's everyone's night going?

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 09:38 PM) Kinda funny to see everyone on twitter talking about how great Sale and Samardzija would be as a 1-2 when there's no doubt in my mind Q is the actual 2nd best pitcher. Some people are entirely forgetting about Q. Saw a tweet that said "Sale, Shark and Rodon possibly in season, quality arms." Ridiculous.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 09:29 PM) Ding ding That's what I was thinking too.
