QUOTE(Beltin'Bill @ Nov 12, 2007 -> 03:47 PM) Any reason why you think it will happen so quickly after the negotiation window opens? They met twice already, it shouldn't take to long to talk dollars and years.

he'll be signed by tomorrow....

From MLBtraderumors.com: "Peter Gammons says that before the Astros got Michael Bourn, the White Sox pushed for a Chad Qualls for Ryan Sweeney swap." The article is from ESPN Insider so I have no link to it.

Close it down.

Some stats: http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/Y/y...ko-yabuta.shtml

From Rotoworld: Yasuhiko Yabuta-R-Player Nov. 7 - 7:44 pm et Yasuhiko Yabuta filed for free agency on Wednesday and indicated that he planned to seek employment in the United States. Yabuta should be ranked right behind Hitoki Iwase and Masahide Kobayashi among Japanese relievers possibly making the jump. The 34-year-old right-hander is already receiving interest from the White Sox. Source: Kyodo News http://home.kyodo.co.jp/modules/fstStory/i...?storyid=346822

We re-signed our SS, there will be no deal with the Astros, thank god.

Just say no to Eckstein.

So I am guessing this thread is the official White Sox rumor thread for the offseason?

Damn, no more Rally Crede?

I'd rather have Hunter or Rowand anyways....

hope this isn't in the wrong forum. http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/102...07-1422472.html

I am ok with this.

Jim Thome......YES!

Signing Eckstein would officially make us the laughing stock of baseball...

It's a rain out...

I think there going to play because at this time during the year, its hard to find make up dates without having doubleheaders...

Thome will be a White Sox in 2008, book it! (Especially since the Phillies are paying for majority of his salary)

Javy now >>> Young now.

well this maybe the end for Scotty... "Podsednik was claimed Thursday by the Cubs on waivers, according to ESPN-AM 1000 in Chicago." From Rotowire.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Aug 9, 2007 -> 11:31 PM) yahoo! I wonder if the Sox pulled Scotty back from waivers or not.... or

According Rotowire, Scotty was claimed off waivers by the Cubs. http://www.rotowire.com/baseball/player.htm?ID=6733

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 6, 2007 -> 10:59 AM) im pretty sure if you are taken off waivers you can't be placed back on....so tejada will be an O until the offseason for sure correct, your only placed on waivers once and then thats all...

QUOTE(forrestg @ Aug 5, 2007 -> 11:58 PM) Isn't there one more rule on the waiver trade. Let us say whoever the sox decide to trade back to Baltimore for Miggy must go through waivers also. Like if the sox decided to send Pods back for Miggy any other team with a worse 06 record than the Os could claim pods. the sox would have to pull back Pods and the whole deal would be off. Am I wrong about this ? Yes, read my post on the first page about thr waiver rules. Any player must clear waivers before they can be traded to whoever that is on the 40 man roster.
