QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 10:09 PM) I guess Andrew Miller went from some bum who couldn't figure anything out to a guy who turned into the best reliever in the game overnight. Not like a slight mechanical tweak could make that difference. Oh, and Jake Arrieta, he was just some back of the rotation fodder to Cy Young winner with what amounted to a slight mechanical tweak. Hell, let's go back 12 years. The White Sox claimed a fireball pitcher off waivers named Bobby Jenks. He worked with Coop a bit in Spring Training, converted to a reliever, and closed out the most important game in White Sox history in 88 years. No, a slight mechanical tweak doesn't mean s***. Matt Thornton was pretty terrific pre White Sox and mechanic adjustment as well.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 10:06 PM) Sale sells tickets. As confirmed by the fact the team has better attendance this year.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 10:02 PM) Thank you. Literally anything we get for players we don't need and salary we can dump is a win. There's literally 0 reason to salary dump at this point. And Drob and Kahnle both have value whether it's to the Sox winning ball games or not. Should have traded Sale for nothing since he had no value to us.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 09:54 PM) I don't understand why Clippard is such a negative. He isn't owed much money. What's the problem? No problem with him except the fact he's not another top talent. I think most want one more other top talent back, everyone is ok taking Clippard on.

If we take the lead, the deal is off so DRob can close, right?

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 09:44 PM) Alec Hansen, no no thru 5IP. That happened like 5 hours ago.

Obviously no issues taking on money but that better mean there's some more talent coming as well.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 09:25 PM) Have we decided he's bad now? I hadn't paid attention since the "anyone is better than Ventura" days Every manager we'll ever have we'll be considered bad here. That's not a shot at anyone, that's just sports message boards in a nut shell.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 09:20 PM) 1) Maybe Kopech 2) Who f***ing cares? 1. Definitely no 2. Correct

In for the forfeit.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 08:58 PM) What the hell?! I've been trying to follow this at the gym. I should have just stayed home. That's what you get for trying to be healthy.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 08:41 PM) Lol, Torres was acquired for a bullpen arm. I'm not saying it's going to happen, but let's not use relievers being the reason why. One of these years people will learn not to say so and so isn't being moved. Certainly not saying we'd get Torres in this deal but who the hell knows.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 08:39 PM) US??? We don't overreact here. Non Sense, Fathom, NON SENSE

Wouldn't be shocked if the hold up here is how much money the Sox are picking up of Rob's contract. EDIT: As i type this I realize it's the f***in Yankees, so maybe not.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 08:30 PM) Call me crazy, but what if Hahn and Cashman have been having ongoing conversations about Robertson and it came up as "what would it take for us to get Torres?" And Cashman said Frazier and Kahnle? The Yanks still have Gregorious through 2020 and he's turned into a pretty damn good player. I don't think that would happen BUT for all 3 I don't think it's completely 100 percent out of the equation either.

Caffeine up everyone, we might be in for a long night.

Joel Sherman says hold up. Not there yet.

This is fun and god awful all at once. NEED DETAILS

Be quite the game playing by Rick if he yanked Todd and then leaked the Yanks info to Bruce with out anything in place. That probably didn't happen but hey who knows.

QUOTE (Username @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 06:12 PM) Did they re-release lineups? What's online is just based on earlier I think. Ya they just fixed a misspelling according to Fegan.

Todd still in the lineup.

Maybe Todd Frazier made a base running mistake in pre game today. Had to be yanked.

Be funny if Rick is just trolling.

QUOTE (yesterday333 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 05:51 PM) Correct me if I am wrong but wouldn't it be who is hugging whom? Ha fair enough.

My buddy texted me that maybe with kershaw pitching they just didn't want to embarrass any of the trade chips ha.
