Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 17m17 minutes ago Dipoto in statement, “Over the course of last few weeks it became clear Josh wanted to return to Texas.” Also clear Moreno wanted him out.

Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 4m4 minutes ago The #Rangers officially say they acquired Hamilton for a player to be named later or [additional] cash considerations.

Something that would almost be too ideal would be a deal with Danks going to Miami, with the Sox picking up no money

He really has fallen off of a cliff the last two years. Would a change of scenery help? Heck for minimum wage, it couldn't hurt.

Jesse Spector ‏@jessespector 24m24 minutes ago Edinson Volquez pitched yesterday and dropped his appeal today. How convenient.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 7m7 minutes ago Eric Surkamp cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A Charlotte. Also, Javy Guerra begins rehab assignment at Charlotte tonight.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 12:54 PM) If the Angels picked up a little more of his contract, I could have hired Josh to be my kids nanny. I'd have to put nanny cam on him to ensure he wasn't doing drugs, but with any luck my kid would become a sober version of Josh Hamilton at the plate, haha. If the chance was out there, I would have endorsed taking a chance on Hamilton for the type of terms that have leaked so far, for sure. I think it has more to do with where Hamilton wanted to go, then what kind of market there was for him.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 12:30 PM) I wish the Sox would have made this deal. Angels have handled this whole thing horrifically. My guess is that Hamilton didn't really want to go anywhere other than Texas.

Chicago White Sox ‏@whitesox 3m3 minutes ago LHP Eric Surkamp, who was designated for assignment on Sunday, cleared waivers and has been outrighted to @KnightsBaseball.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 12:29 PM) He has been playing OF for at least 7 years (BR) and probably much longer than that. Shouldn't he be comfortable by now? After seeing how badly Jose Abreu played 1B when he got here, that isn't necesarily true.

Tracey Myers ‏@TramyersCSN 4m4 minutes ago Corey Crawford starting series vs. wild. #Blackhawks

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 11:30 AM) If Versteeg sits, then who will gain the blue line, reverse ice to create room, create no room in doing so and then get stripped of the puck for an odd man rush going the other way? Who? Tell me Q, who will take up that role? Judging by his play in game 4, I am going to guess Derrick Rose.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 10:23 AM) Whether or not our bullpen is "elite", can we at least all agree that so far this year's version has been a heck of a lot better than last year's dumpster fire? This is probably the most accurate post of this thread. The pen is assloads better than it was last year. Already we can see a different in that ventura has multiple guys he can run out there that won't hurt the team on a regular basis. In fact the team has been able to take 9 inning games from last year, and turn them into seven inning games with Duke and Robertson on the back end. It also is helping that guys like Petricka and Putnam are pitching in the 6th and 7th innings instead of the 9th like last year. And while the numbers don't say "elite" yet this year, I do believe this could be an elite pen by the end of the year.

What is crazy is that Gordo leads the team in DWar with how little he has played.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 09:27 AM) That's why you keep me around for my hard hitting analysis! He's not the best color commentator in hockey for no reason!

Jerry Crasnick ‏@jcrasnick 3m3 minutes ago Pennsylvania, USA There's a "good chance" Josh Hamilton deal will be finalized today, says one source. Let's hope so.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 09:16 AM) I think it will happen regardless, and there is merit to some of the complaints, but I just saw Wainwright as an injury that could have happened at any time. When you watch it, it was such a harmless move. He just planted and started to run, and pop I just dont get people pointing out Wainwright hurting himself and saying "SEE?!?! PITCHERS SHOULDNT HIT" like it was proof of the harm that could happen to you while hitting. People who say pitchers shouldn't hit after Wainwright's injury are very highly likely saying it anytime the topic of pitchers hitting it brought up. This is just a chance to say it when people are actually listening. I like it better when the averages of the pitchers are brought up.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 09:06 AM) I think its kind of dumb that Wainwright is using his injury as a reason the pitchers shouldnt hit. It isnt like he broke his hand getting hit by a pitch or anything. What happened to him could have happened fielding a grounder off the mound, he didnt even do anything crazy, he just started running and it tore It isn't the only way get hurt, but it does increase the odds of getting hurt when you make someone do something they are terrible at.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 26, 2015 -> 07:53 PM) Nothing official yet. But I'm hearing/reading Love could miss at least two weeks. This combined with what will no doubt be at least a 1-game suspension for (what a f***ing idiot) J. R. Smith gives the Bulls absolutely no excuse not to beat Cleveland. It's not like they have the best player on the planet or anything.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 08:36 AM) Haha St. Louis!!! Worst playoff team ever? Haha! And how fitting that Vancouver gives up 7 in an elimination game. The Wild will be a tough series for the Hawks. Hopefully they can avoid giving up 3 in the first again, I don't think they can depend on coming back from that twice in this series. Good call

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 07:41 AM) I'd bet the Cubs would actually just give them Edwin Jackson. In a heartbeat... plus a vast majority of his contract.
