What Quintana is going to be trade to Mudhen's yet this morning?

Duh. How could I forget!! He's almost guaranteed to be traded tomorrow then. In the last 21 years 5 trades have been made on December 28th - including Tim Raines being sent to the Yankees in 1995 and Chapman going from the Reds to the Yankees last year. All of these quantum mechanic elements added up lead to a near certainty of tomorrow's Q trade to New York.

QUOTE (Special K @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 04:13 PM) Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale The #Yankees have expanded their Jose Quintana talks with #Whitesox that would include closer David Robertson, if Sox eat part of contract Been in a K hole, have you?

When it comes to white sox trades - today sucks. Otherwise, it's been a pretty kocher day.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 02:30 PM) I would not rule out getting three top 50 prospects due to Quintana's surplus value Moncada was not just a top 50 prospect, but arguably the top prospect in baseball. Kopech had seriously trended upward from the #70's to being #30, perhaps higher as well. You do not part with players like that except for an elite player such as Sale Quintana could net the White Sox something like Glasnow or Keller, + Bell + Newman + maybe one more prospect Without Meadows, I've come to my preference for a Pirates deal being Keller, Bell, Newman, +

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 02:25 PM) Levine says that every major league team remains heavily engaged in talks for Q, so take solace in that my friends. Every team is on him - sick wid it

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 02:18 PM) Would have worked better as a Rick Roll. But Quintana wants to ride his bicycle

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 01:32 PM) @ChrisRongey What I'm gathering from Twitter is Yankees fans have no idea how good Jose Quintana is. I really really want to see the Yankees get raked by Hahn in a Lion King "Circle of Life" kinda way.

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.
