QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:38 PM) Was told the same as @Ken_Rosenthal: No trade happening with Cody Bellinger and Alex Verdugo, two Dodgers prospects out of their AA lineup. https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/759804716826128385 See, Kenny and Rick aren't the only ones who lie to the media. Otherwise a lot of top prospects keep getting off days at funny times.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:17 PM) ALL. THE. GARCIAS. 11 HR, 50K, 16BB in 130 PA's as an 18 year old in high rookie ball.

MLB ranked Tilson #5 behind Fulmer, Collins, Adams, Burdi, respectively.

I totally see the Sox trying to get Dermis Garcia in a deal with the Yankees.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:08 PM) Probably something that should've been addressed 2 months ago Did I miss the great market on CF's?

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 11:46 AM) Should tell you everything you need to know about the direction this organization is about to take. That 4th OFer you just traded for immediately is your starting CFer. Because the 3rd OF is on the DL.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 11:43 AM) If Rodon's return brings the roster to 25, then another move is necessary to for Tilson to be on the MLB team. DFA of Shuck, or send down of Sanchez are the two most obvious ones./

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 10:54 AM) Looks like he used to block a trade unless Cleveland would void his option for next season making him a free agent. Don't know if we're on the list or not, but even if we wanted him, he'd do the same here. That makes a lot of sense. His option only gets him like $5. He is worth 10 times that on the open market, at least.

Roster spot opened by Duke trade, presumably to start today.

Since no one has said it, I am scared of the historical overrated nature of Yankees prospects.

QUOTE (Two-Gun Pete @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:30 AM) I'm dying to hear how anyone can justify a strikeout machine like Micker Adolfo being worth anything at all at this point, let alone a top 10 prospect for an MLB organization. Yes, "he's young." But he's striking out to a 37% clip to the October, 2016 class of Jewel grocery baggers in Single A. He's completely made of glass. And the dumbest pile of imbeciles in this front office once again went for batting practice power in this so-called "prospect" when they wasted good money on him. That said, him being stupidly placed in Single A, where he is as out of his depth as I would be in a doctoral-level astrophysics class is clearly not helping him. It isn't helping his team mates. And it isn't helping this organization. So at least half of my irritation at his utter failure should be directed @ the front office, I suppose. EDIT: And I write all of my irritation at seeing the next K-king failure in the SOX org, even while I appreciate and admire all the great work that Future Sox do. I know you are "New" here, but honestly, with the arrogant commentary that goes with your point makes it hard to read. I know you probably have a point somewhere, but it is so lost in agenda and name calling, it loses its meaning.

He had 46 steals last year.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 08:28 PM) I would say most people have given up on this s*** team.. Except when they are losing, then it is all in.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 06:54 PM) Ideally one of Shields/Gonzo is dealt. The Sox might as well capitalize on how well one of them have been pitching. Yeah, when the conversation is trading guys at their "peak", when it comes to Shields and Gonzalez, we are probably talking about AOL in 2001 in terms of peak.

For those that don't know the area, Kentucky is quite literally the first exit south of the ballpark, and it is WAY cheaper to live in than Ohio.

QUOTE (ecupittfan @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 11:26 AM) Hawk was talking last night its about a manager bringing the most out of their players. Robin is not very fiery and he is not an old baseball man like a Joe Maddon or a Terry Collins. Someone like Rowand is very fiery, we were better under Ozzie and he had that type of persionality. Baseball is not a hard game to necessarily understand. Could be a better match then Ventura. Hawk is the guy who fired Tony LaRussa. Not sure what his advice on managers is worth.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 08:54 AM) I've said this year Quintana will never win a Cy--and he may not. But I was wrong for saying it. He's definitely in the mix. ERA under 3 now. AL leader in Pitcher WAR. http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/...ue_pitching::18 Sale, Quintana, Hamels, Tillman, a few others. 11-12 starts left for these guys. I know who I'm rooting for. He can win it../ If he goes to Boston.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 12:41 AM) Luis Curbelo has 16 errors this season. Two tonight got him there. Yikes. Hopefully that means he has great range, but bad mechanics.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 08:34 AM) False. If a player opts out of a contract, he can be offered a QO (see Alex Gordon). However, Shields will not opt out. And if he did, Sox would be dumb not to offer the QO of around 1/16 mill when the guy rejected 2/44 million lol The Sox didn't have him for a full season, so they cannot offer the QO.

God bless you and your entire family Jer. We all were pulling for you guys so much. We are all so sorry.

The box score doesn't look like he was pulled. https://twitter.com/SoxNet/status/759222655539183618

Aaron Leming ‏@AaronLemingNFL 21s21 seconds ago Multiple reports of Yoan Moncada being pulled out of his game tonight & seen hugging teammates. Interesting. 0 retweets 0 likes

I have to imagine with the way the Sox like the power tool, Dermis Garcia has to be on their ask list from the Yankees.

Jeffrey Flanagan @FlannyMLB First diagnosis for Luke Hochever confirmed Thoracic Outlet Surgery. Will have 2nd opinion but surgery likely and season prob over. #Royals

Can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, but... Dayton Cripe @daycri83 @barstoolWSD got any news for us today? whitesoxdave ‏@barstoolWSD 26m26 minutes ago Chicago, IL whitesoxdave Retweeted Dayton Cripe Quintana to Red Sox for moncada ++
