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.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 09:26 PM) +1. Reed was a hitter and Morse was a SS. Hint hint

Reed, Olivo and Morse for Samardzija.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 09:20 PM) Some here are not gonna like the package sent. Hmm.

This gonna be a long night.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 08:25 PM) Scared was the wrong word. I thought he was reporting a real deal. I thought the same when I initially read it.

I'll call Marcus a cab to the airport if this deal goes through.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 07:08 PM) Looks like a Shark segment is coming up on MLB Network. Let us know if anything new is said

Loch ness monster too?

I'd give it to FSU's kicker.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 04:48 PM) Just noticed this, Iowa State and UNI don't play each other this year? For some reason I thought the 4 DI Iowa schools (Iowa, ISU, UNI, Drake) always all played each other every season, Kind of a shame that isn't true. There used to be something in place where they had to play each other, that's obviously gone. I'm sure Heads can give us a good answer.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 05:21 PM) I'd much rather have KRod on a short-term deal than Robertson for $50 million. Yup.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 12:48 PM) Meh. He doesn't have much of a track record and that's probably above market value for a #5. I think they could lose this deal quite easily. Surely could go either way though. It's only 2 years though, it's not like it's going to kill them.

I also LOVE the idea of somehow getting Reddick added to this. Not sure what that would do to the cost to bring Jeff in but I believe adding a top defender in the outfield would do wonders for this team.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 10:04 AM) Crap, so I can't hang around with hippies anymore? Don't ever hang out with hippies.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 03:10 PM) Shields is not the pitcher that JS is. Having him at the top of the rotation makes the Sox a much better team. I like shields but he will command too many years at his age. If the sox could get shields on a 3 year deal, i would agree with you. Makes it difficult when they have the same initials.

As I've said before, besides Wite I'm probably Marcus' biggest fan but he's gone in a heartbeat if he's the main piece in a deal for JS.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 02:59 PM) So basically trading for Samardzija makes sense if Billy Beane forgets to call 28 other teams and gives him to us for a huge discount. If you "fully expect the white sox to make a run at signing him to an extension", why on Earth would you give up anything in a trade for that guy unless you have a competitive roster this year? Again hitting my point, this makes no sense. If were going to blow 9 figures on a pitcher, just go add Shields. If the Sox trade for Shark they do plan on being competitive this year, you keep skipping that fact. Not only would they add a top of the rotation starter but the low cost of Samardzija's contract this year leaves them extra money to fill other holes.

How many times has everyone watched "A Christmas Story" ?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 1, 2014 -> 12:37 PM) 5th in my main league because we decided to split into 2 divisions this year and the other division is god awful. I hate you fantasy football. So this is going to happen. I'm going to finish 9-5 with the 3rd most points and not get in while that other division winner has the 7th most points in the league. I hate you fantasy football but I still love you Odell Beckham.
