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.

QUOTE (daggins @ Nov 19, 2016 -> 04:05 PM) They could also trade absolutely nobody and end up buying. Basically, we still have no idea what is going on. waking up tomorrow to a multi-year offer to Fowler rumor is low on my list of Surprises

per Olney http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/11/whit...of-control.html So to clarify, 4 years (or more) is off the table everyone else (shorter term guys) are on the table
