He wants to be THE guy that brings a team to glory and doesn't mind a rebuild. Know any teams like that? https://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20171201...9-nksports-base This article in Japanese indicates that Otani has narrowed his list to 5 teams: the Dodgers, Yankees, Padres and two unnamed teams. Not sure if either of these things mean anything, but just putting it out there. I have to imagine that Seattle is in there somewhere.

A again?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 1, 2017 -> 01:22 PM) Oh f*** Chicago Blackhawks‏ @NHLBlackhawks Goaltender Jean-Francois Berube has been recalled from the IceHogs and the #Blackhawks have placed goaltender Corey Crawford on injured reserve. #Blackhawks Ugh. Hopefully it isn't bad.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 1, 2017 -> 01:32 PM) He would be added to the 40-man after the deal is official (after physical?). We'll definitely cut a few people by the end of the day I would think. Yep, if it wasn't certain in my mind that Putnam was gone, it is now.

Patrick Nolan‏ @SSS_pnoles 41m41 minutes ago Welington Castillo's framing numbers dramatically improved in 2017. The #WhiteSox, with a young pitching staff, are making a big bet that it'll continue. Castillo framing runs by year: 2014: -14.2 2015: -10.1 2016: -9.4 2017: +3.7 Castillo is also good at blocking and throwing.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 1, 2017 -> 12:40 PM) 2 years/$15 million, $8 million club option in year 3 @JeffPassan Sources: Welington Castillo's deal with the White Sox is for $15 million guaranteed. It's a two-year deal with a club option for $8 million in the third year. @Ken_Rosenthal had the deal done first. Not awful, especially since the team has a zero payroll

Bob Nightengale‏Verified account @BNightengale 16m16 minutes ago The #SFGiants still have not been told whether Giancarlo Stanton would waive his no trade clause and accept a trade to SF, if they get a deal done with #Marlins

One big positive is that it allows us time to not rush Collins and Zavala.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Dec 1, 2017 -> 12:18 PM) Due to the misspelling, my thread shouldve gone over this one. I bat a goddam 1000 dammit. Merges go by timestamp.

Ken Rosenthal‏Verified account @Ken_Rosenthal 3m3 minutes ago Welington Castillo deal with #WhiteSox is for two years with club option, source tells The Athletic.

Not a bad fit. I like having another major league level catcher. How is his defense and framing?

Well Donald Trump disagrees with you.

Unfounded accusations will get you everywhere.

Referring to yourself in the third person is always a terrible idea.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 1, 2017 -> 11:13 AM) for sure, they are passing this "win" before the hammer drops on Trump I am 100% convinced that what the rush to get all of this stuff done is. Then if something bad happens, they can just blame it all on him.

Jon Morosi‏Verified account @jonmorosi 1h1 hour ago Sources: Evan Longoria's name not seriously involved -- yet -- in ongoing #STLCards/#Rays talks centered on Alex Colome. But Cardinals could look to add bat at 3B if they fail to land Giancarlo Stanton. Stay tuned. @MLB @MLBNetwork

Click the link, it is worth it. John Trupin‏ @JohnTrupin 12h12 hours ago Shohei Ohtani obliterated the Philadelphia Phillies, alas https://twitter.com/JohnTrupin/status/936463342859726848

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 1, 2017 -> 09:20 AM) Currie out at Tennessee lol. He tried to hire Leach without the approval of the President I believe. Now there are rumors that Leach doesn't want to go there anymore. Damn, what a mess. Brett McMurphy‏Verified account @Brett_McMurphy Sources: John Currie was prepared to hire Mike Leach but university officials wouldn’t allow him to do so. Phillip Fulmer has been sabotaging search process in hopes to become Tennessee’s AD

Now this is a guy I wouldn't have minded back into the Sox fold. Glad to see Dave doing well. Dave Wills @davewills34 Happy to announce that @RaysBaseball is allowing me to continue to do what I love! A new multi year deal is done! Thank you to everyone in the #Rays organization for your confidence in me! @RaysRadio

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 1, 2017 -> 10:18 AM) Michael Flynn pled guilty and will testify against Trump, his family, and his campaign including that Trump ordered him to make contact with Russians. Could be related to that. Just saw that, wow.

Did the tax package just die? The Dow went from green to down 225 in like 5 minutes. Hooray for volatility!

In terms of full disclosure, I would love to see Jose be a lifetime White Sox. He represents everything that you want in a face of the franchise type of player.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Nov 30, 2017 -> 05:16 PM) 5 years from now or 5 years when he's a FA? I don't want them locking up guys in their mid-30's to giant contracts, especially at 1b where the Sox may have a logjam of hitters at. Now.
