QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Nov 21, 2016 -> 08:51 AM) John Hart just said on @MLBNetwork that #Braves "not close" on any big SP, added team is mindful of not accelerating rebuild too quickly. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/800707216915496960 Translation: They just heard what teams want for pitchers like Archer, Gray, and Sale.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 20, 2016 -> 04:13 PM) Apparently Wade will sit out tonight to rest. Seems a bit odd to me. Thibs head just exploded.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 20, 2016 -> 01:58 PM) Link To be fair that is a quote from the agent, and not Samardjiza.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 20, 2016 -> 08:25 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/ Yeah, that is as simple as this team isn't going to tell the fans the same thing they tell other GM's, for obvious reasons.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 19, 2016 -> 06:55 PM) He will clear waivers. They could always sign him then, but he is awful now. If they didn't release him that only clears him to the minors, right?

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Nov 19, 2016 -> 03:42 PM) I wouldn't be surprised to see Rodon traded. He made a comment before the season ended about how it would be a sad day if Sale was traded from the White Sox. I was under the impression that Hahn wasn't too thrilled with Rodons comments about Sale being traded. The team might have a situation where both Sale and Rodon will be traded. We'll have a Triple AAA pitching staff if those two are moved. Rodon is probably talked about because the White Sox know he will never extend.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 19, 2016 -> 05:01 PM) Definitely the type of guy to put on an MLB team that is rebuilding. You hole to catch lightning in a bottle with cast-offs. Yeah, he strikes me as a nice bounce back play.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 19, 2016 -> 05:04 PM) He is owed $4-5 million, and hit .202 in AAA. $2 million a year for the next two years is nothing honestly.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 19, 2016 -> 01:07 PM) Jake KaplanVerified account ‏@jakemkaplan 48m48 minutes ago Hearing the Astros placed Jon Singleton on outright waivers, the first step to removal from the 40-man roster. The Sox have to claim him if he makes it this far, no?

Yeah, I am not surprised by this at all. The Sox know they don't have the time or resources to burn this down

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 18, 2016 -> 09:35 AM) If they actually put forwards a plan to require muslims to register or require people to present their papers to verify they're legally here, will you stand against it? I have always been against all of that. Unlike some, I can criticize anyone, and not just the other party.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 18, 2016 -> 09:36 AM) Well, I guess we'll take Aaron Sanchez. Edit: well hey that farm isn't bad. Lots of youth though, would be severe wildcards but would love to have two guerreros in system. Yeah for me, any deal has to start with Vlad Jr.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 17, 2016 -> 06:52 PM) No way you give up three good to great trade chips and not get Sanchez back With the trade of McCann, the Yankees aren't dealing Sanchez.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 17, 2016 -> 04:18 PM) As I said in the other thread, I didn't know who Bannon was until this week. I have done no research on him and I have no interest talking about something I don't know about. So you can follow me around, accuse me of things I didn't do try and "get me" in multiple threads (to many others' displeasure I am sure), but I am not going to partake in something I have nothing to offer to. I know you want to project all of your knowledge on right-wing media guys (I believe that's what he is?) but I am not your dance partner here no matter how many times/threads you try. 99.99% of the country didn't know who the guy was until the media told them he was racist.

Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 2m2 minutes ago The Yankees are kicking in $5.5 million of the $17 million McCann will make each of the next two seasons.

I will be sad when it happens, and even sadder the next few years watching him in another uniform. Hopefully eventually the guys that replace him make me happy.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Nov 17, 2016 -> 03:15 PM) I would expect that most of the established regulars in the union are opposed to it, might be an issue of division within the union. Are players on the 40 man considered part of the MLB union or not? If they are, they probably like the status quo. If they aren't, (well they don't get a vote so not really up to them) but they would prefer a 26th spot to get more guys into the union and more MLB paying full time gigs. Realistically six call ups for the month of September is the same as one call up for the entire year when it comes payroll.

For starters, if the Lawrie rumors are true, he also has to be spun out by tomorrow if the Sox are serious about trying to protect as many of these guys as possible. Then again, there are a whole lot of C level prospects on these lists, and I can see all of them not getting picked in the major league portion of the Rule 5.

QUOTE (Baron @ Nov 17, 2016 -> 02:50 PM) Listening to that Podcast it seems like the host is trying to suggest the Braves sell the White Sox on quantity instead of quality. That's not happening. With Chris Sale on the block, you are getting both quality AND quantity.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 17, 2016 -> 02:27 PM) The problem is that no one wants to hold themselves accountable anymore. A lot of the same people have posted on this board for a long time, almost everyone of them I have argued with about something at some point. It didnt matter if they were Republican/Democrat, what mattered is if "I" thought they were right or wrong. If a Democrat says something that is wrong, out of line, not supported by the evidence, I dont just turn a blind eye. But what is the point if no one else is willing to do it? Now I know its not every Republican, but when someone like Bannon is picked, EVERYONE should be shouting it down. I understand that trying to convince people about free trade, restriction of movement of labor is not that easy and I even understand that there can be a difference of opinion on policy. But there are people on this board who dont even acknowledge that there is a problem with Bannon, and at some point each party needs to start self policing. Because at the end of the day, we are all judged by the company that we keep, and right now for the Republican's that company is Bannon. I can only speak for myself, but Bannon is a deal breaker. It is amazing how on election day this literally changed in an instant of who talks about taking responsibility and who makes excuses for people. One minute the question is taking the election results no matter what happens, then five million people less vote, and there are protests in the streets over who won. One day the talk is about Obama getting preached to by radicals, people make excuses, then the right wing gets in office, it is all OK again. It is insane.
