hi8is

But he Red Sox are happy with their starting rotation and don't need Sale!!

QUOTE (Real @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 12:20 PM) anybody able to summarize the latest news/rumor? something about the yankees being the latest trade partner? any prospects named? No names other than Yanks interested in Q / DRob... speculation they'd have to clear some salary or have us send $ to avoid luxury tax.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 12:11 PM) within the next week if I had to guess. Oh, the agony. Que a bucket bomb, please.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 11:32 AM) Guys, as a personal request please avoid using the term "retard". It's evolved over the years and using it negatively is akin to using "gay" in the same light. I'd like this message board to be accessible to all and stuff like that can give us a meatball persona which belies the incredible insight and intelligence of this board. Noted and I apologize. Maybe moron was the phrase used yesterday. Hummmm. Meathead I am not - idiot, at times. Or is it really masked genius? ( trade, happen soon please. )

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 11:17 AM) It's not like Q won't be as valuable or perhaps even more valuable at the deadline or in June. You must be in the retard crowd. Signed, Retard #46 ( joke from yesterday if you weren't following along )

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 11:14 AM) If the Sox and Yanks make a trade please let Rutherford be part of the mix. You and I both well know he's a name the Sox want. Ruth and Ray were high on the draft board.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 11:00 AM) I can't wait for the post mortem articles on how whatever trade happened went down +1

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 10:48 AM) The NYY prospects are overrated, aside from the guys they received via trade (Frazier, Torres, Tate) and Rutherford. Torres' stats aren't as great because he's so young for the league he plays in. I wouldn't put much stock into his. What's your thoughts on state specifically please - seems like his WHIP has been pretty bad so far professionally.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 09:30 AM) This offseason is f***ing exhausting. The Sox FO is so incredibly predictable with the way they go about their business. Oh really? So you knew they would trade Sale and Eaton. Got it.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 08:57 AM) @BNightengale reports Sox -Yanks expanded Quintana trade talks with D Robby. Pirates /Rangers and Astros still very engaged on Quintana https://twitter.com/MLBBruceLevine/status/813790388221804545 Hopefully a bidding war Makes the leak idea more credible IMO but also has truth. Hahn turning up the heat trying to push a deal across the finish line? Urgggggg

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 08:43 AM) All we need is for the Rockies and a mystery club to jump into the rumor mill and we have full on pandemonium So far Astros, Pirates and Yankees have been strongly connected to Quintana The latest MLBTR post on Q sums up this entire thread nicely ( minus all of the comedic insanity ). Reality has been almost as full of s*** as the mock GM hamfoolery thread.

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 08:31 AM) I just cant do it anymore. Once something seems to be on the verge of happening is when I will care. All these hypothetical's are like listening to someones fantasy team conversations. Clearly you can see I'm losing my mind as well

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 07:02 AM) Why do people assume it's a leak? If these talks are happening, it's not like they wouldn't go to other teams and say they are talking about this deal Because the possibility of it being a leak makes sense logically - especially considering the source has historically been connected to Sox leaks.

On this day in history there have been 3 trades in the last 15 years. However, one of them involved Sergio Santos... so, there's a slightly better chance than yesterday! ( +1 to the poster thinking this could be a Sox leak - I was gonna state the same )

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Dec 26, 2016 -> 09:43 PM) Meadows & Glasnow... instead of... Cutch n Q. Well that certainly puts it into perspective. They wanna win in the next two years - there's a clear path to having a better shot.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 26, 2016 -> 08:38 PM) Sincerely, - The guy who does whatever the f*** he wants, whenever the f*** he wants, wherever the f*** he wants... breaking cheerleader hearts, vacuuming the house at 2am, butt ass naked on a Wednesday afternoon while ball sweat staining the rug. #f***MarriedLife Ok, I'll stop.

QUOTE (Blackout Friday @ Dec 26, 2016 -> 08:28 PM) Would love Diaz. What is it about him that you love? I know little other than the little write up I've read on MLB pipeline. Sincerely, - The guy with medusa for an exwife

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 26, 2016 -> 08:09 PM) Then go back to where ever you have been for the last decade... Or we could all make obscure references to movies made in the mid 1990s while singing Kumbaya. Edit: How complete is a post without including a call to song?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 26, 2016 -> 05:41 PM) Yeah, I couldn't agree more. While generally, 4 years of control is preferable to 3, these trades don't exactly work off a scale like the NFL draft picks do or something. While I think it is optimal to acquire him now if you are another team, I don't think it is that big of a deal if you have to move him in 6 months or even a year from now. One thing I will add though, and I wrote this earlier in the thread, if one of these teams that is kicking the tires on Q now comes back in desperate straights in July, I am making them pay a premium for forcing me to go into the season with Q. Make them pay some consideration for their wait and see approach. +1

QUOTE (BRIRO2017 @ Dec 26, 2016 -> 04:57 PM) LOL and i would care why? Especially your opinion. If you do not want people thinking youre a moron(that i do), stop acting like one. And opposing everything i say, isnt going to change a thing. I like apples and ba-nay-nays. Popsicles, pork tacos, and fruit roll ups. Yay, yay, yay! Wheeeee!! Wheeeeeeeeeeee!!! Whooooo! As the famed farmer said in the prolific film, "Babe"... "That'll do pig, that'll do." Such mastery of film making, that was.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Dec 26, 2016 -> 04:42 PM) Same guy who traded a pretty good, very young prospect (Tatis) for an expensive, over the hill pitcher (Shields) about five months ago. I'm still shaking my head over that one. That deal reeked of Kenny Williams and Hahn has wanted to rebuild for ages. We're finally getting an opportunity to see Rick do his thing with less opposition.

QUOTE (BRIRO2017 @ Dec 26, 2016 -> 04:18 PM) God why cant people see this??? The sox DO have to deal Quintana this off season. This isnt Dwight Gooden. Or Kerry Wood. Hes never getting better than he is right now. He has 4 years of control. 3 is LESS lol. The market is weak. Hes not injured. Hes at his ABSOLUTE PEAK. You are rebuilding and you dont have to deal him now? Thats retarded. There's a lot of retards on this form and in the national media that just don't agree with you. You're not going to sway us. Cheers, -Retard #42

That's it - the Rockies are all in and are certain to trade for Q now: http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/12/rock...p;post-id=81407
