Mark Lazerus ‏@MarkLazerus 50m50 minutes ago Source says #Blackhawks have been trying to figure out a way to re-sign Johnny Oduya, but the sense is it's still a long shot.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 03:27 PM) I actually assumed his biggest competition was Archer. FWIW, Sale is second in the Bovada Cy Young odds to Kuechel.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 02:38 PM) Why did we let Buehrle go again? Miami offered him stupid money.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 11:48 AM) @ESPNChiPowers The Blackhawks and forward Viktor Tikhonov have agreed to terms on a one-year contract, according to a source. Slava Malamud ‏@SlavaMalamud 5m5 minutes ago Viktor Tikhonov, signed by the #Blackhawks for just over $1 mil, is coming off a $3.3 million deal in KHL. Kid really want to give it a go.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 02:13 PM) He should have been first. Much prefer to see new players get a chance rather than proven stiffs. He exists only to be Danks' caddy, and he's not very good at that. Speaking of which, 2 roster spots to accommodate the necessity of Danks in the rotation. Love the heroes. He is the one guy in the pen who can give the team 3/4/5 innings if needed. That is why here is hear over another RHP who can't.

Mark Lazerus ‏@MarkLazerus 2h2 hours ago Brandon Saad said he left the negotiating up to his agent entirely: "As a player, I try to stay out of it as much as possible." #Blackhawks

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 02:02 PM) Don't even think of moving Scott Carroll. Relax. He'll be next.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 01:47 PM) Obvious Bron, Love, Kyrie is the new big 3 for years to come, all just gonna opt out to get more money in the long run. Can Bulls compete with that? I dont know. Not without big break.

Jayson Stark ‏@jaysonst 2h2 hours ago Chris Sale's last 8 starts: 97 strikeouts versus just 37 hits. And 183 swings and misses. That computes to 22.9 per start. Mind-boggling

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 01:40 PM) Wow, I'm surprised Love wanted back in for the long haul. He'd leave a ton of money on the table by doing anything else. It is hard to say no to that. At worst, he could force a trade later.

Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 3h3 hours ago Possible AL Pitcher of Month @scottmerkin In June, Sale has pitched 41 1/3 innings. He has struck out 72, walked eight and allowed 25 hits.

MLB Stat of the Day ‏@MLBStatoftheDay 3h3 hours ago Chris Sale K’d 75 batters in the month of June. The only pitcher to have more in one June? Nolan Ryan (87 in 1977).

MLB Transactionist ‏@MLBTransactions 2h2 hours ago Chicago, IL CHICAGO WHITE SOX: Activated pitcher Dan Jennings from the 15-day disabled list; optioned pitcher Junior Guerra to Charlotte (IL).

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 12:51 PM) Quintana is clearly more valuable than Samardzija at this point. But guys, GUYS, seriously -- stop using the Addison Russell trade as a frame of reference. EVERYONE thinks/thought/knows/knew that was a drastic overpay. If you're starting there as a precedent, you're just being delusional. There is no good reason for the White Sox to trade Quintana unless they receive that sort of a return.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 12:22 PM) Just don't see it. Top, yes; elite, no. Getting a top 10 for Shark was just a lucky Cubs fluke. Of course, I am not overly bullish on Quintana, so that's my bias. (wasn't bullish on Shark either). he may be statistically worth what you guys suggest; I don't see teams paying that. Then we keep Quintana until next decade. No biggie.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 11:39 AM) Thankfully two other GMs thought Erik Johnson and Jordan Staal were better than Toews. To be fair, that was the concensus at the time of the draft. Same with Kane at #1.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 12:13 PM) Meanwhile, Cubs fans believe Starlin Castro is fair trade value. They wouldn't be equals if they didn't have the respective contracts. Throw that in, and it is a joke.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 12:11 PM) Everyone see what Samardzija brought back to the Cubs last year? The #7 prospect on the BP list before 2014 as the key part? Compared to Samardzija at the time of that trade, Quintana is: Cheaper Under team control for 4 more seasons at an affordable rate Younger Left Handed (nice bonus) More consistent Has put up better seasons than Samardzija ever did. I'm on board for trading everything and then trading everything again and then trading the scraps from that...but if you don't get "Elite prospects" back for him (note the plural) then you don't trade him. This.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 11:58 AM) Seriously though, I would try to move Quintana. He's not worth an elite prospect, but something like the Royals' 2, 4 and 5 would work. I think you can get full value for him and lord knows we need young talent infused into this org. I see Santiago is outpitching Quintana. Not terribly surprising - he just needed to get his walks under control. With his performance, and his contract, he is worth a top prospect. If not, you keep him.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 11:16 AM) Leaving one of the premier cities on earth for a college town in the middle of goddam ohio. I'd be crying, but at least I could wipe the tears away with dollar bills. About 40 MILLION of them.
