Bob Nightengale‏Verified account @BNightengale 3h3 hours ago The #Orioles would love to trade Manny Machado within next 24 to 36 hours, team execs say, but could take longer process to assure there is no back channel to the Bronx. All teams making offers are under premise that it could be one-and-done deal.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 09:49 PM) Well that will shut us up for a few days, nice road win. especially against a team that has beat their asses pretty consistently over the last few years.

Very nice read. Love getting a feel for the mentality or personality of these kids.

Scott MillerVerified account @ScottMillerBbl Machado a free agent after 2018 season. Would #Orioles grant a potential trade partner negotiating window to sign him long term? Duquette: “I don’t see that as a viable option.”

Joel Sherman‏Verified account @Joelsherman1 4m4 minutes ago ICYMI http://nyp.st/2zalinz Teams interested in Frazier at 3b, 1b and even 1b. Here's why. #Mets #Yankees #SFgiants #Angels

The focus remains on the long term. "Now, we may take some calculated risks along the way." Rick is just trolling now.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 09:15 AM) https://twitter.com/scotgregor/status/941324786361397248 This has been the one guy that I think of when talking about how sox are out in front, and would be really silly because what are the odds the orioles take on an injured player? The Orioles are the worst team in MLB for nixing trades at the ownership level for extremely petty reasons, yet Carlos Rodon would be the primary target? Yeah, that doesn't add up.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 09:13 AM) Scott Merkin‏Verified account @scottmerkin Following Following @scottmerkin More Hahn: "Over the last year or so, you guys know how many of our transactions actually leaked out in advance vs. how many were perhaps a surprise or announced on White Sox letterhead for the first time. You can respond accordingly. That sounds like a denial to me.

QUOTE (Tony @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 06:47 PM) Which from a public standpoint, is EXACTLY what they should be doing Yeah believing what Rick Hahn has to say in public isn't always the most prudent thing, especially when their maneuvering tells something different.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 09:09 AM) This class is pretty much done. I would be very surprised if we sign anyone else this period. There are at least a couple of Cubans left.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 08:17 AM) GarPax would sell this pick. Build up some capital with/for ownership. Ironic in retrospect.

Also of note, the Sox don't lose anyone in the major league portion of the draft. Guerrero, Peter, Walsh and company all stay put.

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 04:36 PM) Sox should be all over Yelich. I don't know the logistics though. Think Adam Eaton package.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 02:59 PM) It appears not. Typically in a very early extension like that, this is not something that is usually there. No trades come in with players that are closer to 10/5 status.

Henry SchulmanVerified account @hankschulman #sfgiants are listening to offers for their No. 2 slot in Thursday's Rule 5 draft. Usually those are swapped for cash. Giants have not decided to deal it or not. 1 reply 1 retweet 1 like James Fox‏ @JamesFox917 18m18 minutes ago I've heard that #WhiteSox have their eye on two players tomorrow. They could be in play here.

Jon Heyman‏Verified account @JonHeyman 1m1 minute ago Marlins are regrouping now and plan to talk to Christian Yelich about how he feels about staying. He’s frustrated to see 3 best friends/top players go. So he may say he wants to go, which may trigger trade of him, too.

Scott Merkin‏Verified account @scottmerkin 1h1 hour ago Rick Hahn talked briefly about the recovery of @Carlos_Rodon55 yesterday and both the White Sox GM and Scott Boras, who represents Rodon, expressed he's progressing well in the rehab/recovery. More will be known when he throws during Spring Training.

Bob Nightengale‏Verified account @BNightengale 25m25 minutes ago The #SGiants have Jay Bruce atop their free agent wish list but they have yet to make offers to any free agent impact bat

Cleveland Indians‏Verified account @Indians 22m22 minutes ago We've traded Shawn Armstrong to Seattle in exchange for international bonus pool money. Thank you for you strong contributions to our club, on and off the field, @SArmstrong90!

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 01:43 PM) White Sox seem to be better negotiators than the Marlins This is what happens when you HAVE to make a deal, versus being willing to sit on an asset for months if need be.
