Some ink on Gillaspie's struggles this season. https://www.minorleagueball.com/2017/7/9/15...gles-behind-him

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 27, 2017 -> 08:44 AM) Lets not leave anything to chance then. We need to finish off this season' tank job to get #1 overall. Then Soxtalk will have something juicy to talk about all winter/spring. Rick Hahn: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 11:45 PM) Hope he got the ball, knew it was gone off the hit but I was worried it'd fall into some douche's hands who wouldn't have given it back I don't think a fan got to it. It looked like it bounced off of the batters eye too far away for a fan to get it.

The ghost of Connor! Just noticed he has really struggled this year though.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 09:04 PM) The Sox should be taking chances on just about any young player with potential upside they can get off waivers at the moment. This. Grab as many of these guys as we possibly can. Maybe 1 turns into Anthony Swarzak or JD Martinez. If not move them along and go to the next guy.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 05:27 PM) He should be set up for a midseason 2018 MLB debut, he's about ready now but there's no point starting his clock this early. Forget about him until AT LEAST 2019.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 08:23 PM) 107 pitches. 70 for strikes. Really like that his walk totals have come down the last two starts.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 05:29 PM) pay walled, care to copy and paste a few of the key points, that's allowed under fair use. Go to their twitter and use the WSJ's click thru and you can find it for free there. it is what I did.

Siera Santos‏Verified account @SieraSantos 4m4 minutes ago Avisail García says his thumb has been bothering him for a week. He just got back to the ballpark after having an MRI. #WhiteSoxTalk

Dan Hayes‏Verified account @CSNHayes 2m2 minutes ago Avisail Garcia said he doesn't need surgery on right thumb, just time for a reduction in the inflammation. #WhiteSox (pic of his hand).

For the record, the White Sox 40 man roster looks like it sits at 35 right now.

Scot Gregor‏ @scotgregor 4m4 minutes ago Hahn on Ryan Cordell's back injury: Probably take another few weeks to resolve, might be out until Instructional League

Chicago White Sox‏Verified account @whitesox 6m6 minutes ago Leury García will begin a rehab assignment today with the Arizona Rookie League White Sox.

Scott Merkin‏Verified account @scottmerkin 19m19 minutes ago Avi will go on the DL. Out 2 weeks. Corresponding move to come

Fabian Ardaya‏ @FabianArdaya 11m11 minutes ago Rick Hahn said he doesn't feel a demotion to Triple-A Charlotte would prove helpful to Tim Anderson. #WhiteSox

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 04:20 PM) Melky, Gonzalez, Holland and Jennings should all be gone Holland has probably played himself out of a trade. With as bad as the market is for relievers, there isn't much point to trading Jenkins right now.

Daryl Van Schouwen‏Verified account @CST_soxvan 18m18 minutes ago Reynaldo Lopez "getting close," Hahn said. "Will force our hand to bring up soon to Chicago."

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 04:15 PM) Who gets called up? Willy? Willy is the most likely, but it is worth noting that Rymer Liriano has been pretty hot as of late as well.

Chuck Garfien‏Verified account @ChuckGarfien 10m10 minutes ago Hahn says they're still talking deals. Nothing huge but says "something might materialize between now and the deadline."

Relevant. Jerry Crasnick‏Verified account @jcrasnick 55m55 minutes ago The chances of #Orioles Zach Britton being traded are growing slimmer by the day. Market for Britton simply hasn't developed.

Daryl Van Schouwen‏Verified account @CST_soxvan 37m37 minutes ago Holland (Fri), Gonzalez (Sat), Rodon (Sun) for #WhiteSox vs. Indians this weekend. Salazar, Kluber, Tomlin for Tribe.

Daryl Van Schouwen‏Verified account @CST_soxvan 32m32 minutes ago #WhiteSox rotation owns 5.71 ERA over last 55 games with 12 quality starts. Miguel González (with two) only Sox with a QS over last 15 games

QUOTE (SonofaRoache @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 03:51 PM) This is where our disagreement comes from. The Cubs are our closest competitor because they are in our city AND we compete for air time, revenue, business deals, casual fans, city dollars, news coverage, sponsors, concerts, etc. They may not be close in our divisional and wild card standings but those other factors I listed matter too. And yes Cubs and Sox fans don't like the other team and want to see them fail. I live by Wrigley and see the SUX shirts right now. And plenty of Cubs fans at work have been very vocal about our Sox being bad these last few years. Because I have to deal with their crap everyday, I will root for their team to lose. Does that mean I'm not supportive of my Sox first? No. I understand that if the Cubs suck my Sox benefit from it in many ways. Cubs and Sox fans hate each other, but we have to worry about losing Sox fans to the Cubs. Those two things don't go together.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 03:06 PM) Yeah but I thought they were actually paying Clippard. They took him to balance some of the money disparity, but technically the Sox are paying him and Yankees are paying the other overpaid guys they acquired. I thought generally speaking the Sox have a policy of sorts to not pay players who play for other teams. The Sox taking on Clippard is essentially the White Sox sending the Yankees $4 million.

Now the only thing to do is to sit back and wait for the most obvious post ever.
