Rogers can't be right when he implies Tucker is untouchable. I'm sure it's more like....the Stros dont want him to be, say, a second piece. That they're suggesting other names in that 2nd-guy slot, and we dont like them.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 6, 2017 -> 01:42 PM) The idea that's been kicked around ad-nauseum is Q deal to Pirates for Glasnow, Newman, Keller and someone like Diaz while flipping Glasnow and Robertson for Robles. who's kickin' around?

Some clarification on Collins and what goes into him being where he's at on the list: DarthPaul ‏@cronebender More @jimcallisMLB If Zack Collins were unable to be a catcher, could he be still somewhere on the Top 10 first basemen list, theoretically? Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 3m3 minutes ago More Jim Callis Retweeted DarthPaul Sure. I'm not bullish on Collins staying at C, so #Top100Prospects rank is based mostly on offense. Would be No. 4 1B for me. @whitesox

Buster OlneyVerified account ‏@Buster_ESPN Following More Source: Indians closing in on an agreement with Austin Jackson. Would give them RHed hitting center fielder they've been looking for.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 24m24 minutes ago Frazier’s injury has not been a factor in #WhiteSox’s trade talks. Again, he expects to be hitting by mid-February, ready to go in spring. Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 24m24 minutes ago Frazier’s issue arose in final few days of season. Felt it again when he resumed workouts. Had MRI, will undergo follow-up MRI tomorrow. Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 24m24 minutes ago Sources: #WhiteSox’s Todd Frazier wearing splint as he recovers from sprained finger on left hand. Expected to be ready for spring training.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jan 4, 2017 -> 03:59 PM) Current mlb.com rankings. I expect Kopech to rise a bit. Lopez to stay about the same. Moncada will still be top 3. Giolito will drop into teens, most likely. My guess is Collins is closer to 50 than 80. If it's not for sure Collins can catch, then there's no way he can be as high as #50

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 22s22 seconds ago I don't believe #WhiteSox are motivated to move Jose Quintana by spring training. Heard they'll trade him if price is right whenever that is

Hawk is taking the only notable thing he ever did in a broadcast booth and inverting it

raBBit took heat for a few days, but I'm glad to see this: Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 1h1 hour ago The #Yankees and #Pirates currently most aggressive teams in talks with #Whitesox about Quintana, and, yes, even discussed potential 3-way

if we give the best starter, closer available + money, isnt that worth torres+frazier +more?

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 03:41 PM) The Pirates do not want to part with Meadows or Bell, the three team isn't likely to happen and the Pirates need to move salary in order to take on Q's. Yet, the Pirates are still pushing to get a deal done, how? if they want to get a team to pay mccutchen, teams will surely be up for that.

The losing is going to be the interesting thing about this rebuild. Because off trades alone, are we sure we'll churn out value equal to Sale + Eaton? Maybe, but maybe not. And even if we do, that much wasnt enough this past year. Losing would be the least circuitous path to more superstars

During games, I root for the Bears to lose. It's easy. They're bad, there aren't that many games, and football is my third or fourth favorite sport. With the Sox it's more complicated for me. The Cubs turned losing into Bryant, Baez, etc. They may rip off 3 ringz in 5 years, and it happened with losing, smart drafting and THEN free agent signings. But to mimic it, we have to be very bad for at least a few years. To jump right back in in 2018 is taking half measures (but not like the usual Sox 'half measure', granted) Now, the Sox have been cutting guys that those bad Cubs teams had at the forefront (i.e. Mike Olt) so it may be very difficult for us to be THAT bad. Even after a total firesale, we probably still have quality contributors like rodon/anderson/saladino - and then other guys like melky, lawrie and shields who are still veterans and capable of creating wins. So a couple questions: how bad can we be, and can you root for badness, or is it not in your makeup to do so?

Notable for us: Jon MorosiVerified account ‏@jonmorosi Sources: #Mariners have been in contact with #Rays and #Reds recently in an effort to acquire a starting pitcher. @MLB @MLBNetwork

Peter Gammons ‏@pgammo now6 seconds ago When Astros askewd on Jose Quintana, Chisox asked 3 names:Francis Martes, Kyle Tucker, Joe Musgrove

Mark ZuckermanVerified account ‏@MarkZuckerman Sense here this morning is #WhiteSox are comfortable dragging out Sale talks, want to see if any other clubs can top #Nats offer.

Ken RosenthalVerified account ‏@Ken_Rosenthal Sources: Legitimate chance of Sale trade to #Nationals. Robles, Giolito would go to #WhiteSox. Teams haggling over final pieces in deal.

The Dodgers need to add starting pitching, not subtract it. Urias is nearly equal value to Sale due to years of control & MLB performance thus far, and should not be on this list.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 3, 2016 -> 12:56 PM) If Beltran DHs, Gurriel likely plays first leaving Bregman 3B. Gurriel can also play 3B

WIN-NOW

There's no place for this necessarily here, but a friend met Curtis Granderson and asked about him ever playing for the White Sox. His reply was along the lines of-- when free agency comes up 'we'll see'

QUOTE (hi8is @ Nov 23, 2016 -> 01:32 PM) It's irrelevant, as he isn't claiming to be a source. Not sure i get what you mean. He's saying he has a source he goes to routinely. Same thing.

Just curious, what is the track record for Carpe Diem calling trades in the past?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 20, 2016 -> 09:25 AM) Here is a Rick Hahn quote that contradicts the thread title. He really would have no reason to lie. http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/news/article/208...chable-players/ 'we listen to offers on everyone' is a team's way of making it seem everyone is treated and valued equally. Feathers dont get ruffled / roster harmony.
