QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 09:22 AM) Giolito and Robles > Moncada and Kopech. And if Basabe is the beset 3rd piece Boston will do then no thanks....no idea why people are so caught up in names here. Just because you hadn't heard of Robles before yesterday that doesn't mean he's not a great get for the White Sox. There's a damn good chance that his time next year he will be the new Moncada level prospect. Kopech did completely dominate the AFL

I'm pretty sure at some point during the last two months I suggested a deal centering around Giolato and Robles could become a reality. That said, I think the package I suggested at the time rounded out like this thou: Giolato Robles Lopez Feede Stevenson I think anyone here would be stoked with that.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 08:46 PM) Same, I'm so tired and want to go to bed, but I don't want to miss anything. I'd be SHOCKED if something happens before Wednesday

Ain't s*** gettin done for days, yo. Why do you all think they'd rush this after planting seeds for almost a year.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 07:42 PM) Gross if that's the whole deal. No way in hell. When this is over (no matter who Sale goes to ) - it will be a 5 for 1 or 6 for 2 deal.

All of this "prone to injury motivating trade" bulls*** from Olney citing a White Sox source is complete bulls***. Why on earth would ANYONE on the Sox say ANYTHING close to that when they're trying to trade Sale. Bulls*** lies bulls*** bulls*** bulls***. Edit: it should also show us all just how much of the stuff out there is all bulls*** at this point. Posturing posturing posturing... misinformation lies and more lies.

QUOTE (Ro Da Don @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 03:00 PM) The Art of Negotiation, a novel by Rick Hahn He's been writing it since 2014. The guys been showing the league that he doesn't fold and says what he does. The price for Sale hasn't dropped for years now. Teams who want him have to know by now that Hahn isn't bluffing.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 02:02 PM) Benintendi was gone when the Sox drafted in 15. Turner would have been a major reach for them in 14 - plus, Rodon looks just fine. Rumor was they would have taken Beni in 2015 if Boston hadn't selected him the pick before we grabbed Fulmer. Tuner was being considered against Rodon with signability concerns being that Boras was his agent. That's all I remember from draft day round one of each of those respective years.

There's was speculation out of the draft room in 2014 that the Sox were considering taking Turner above Rodon. They've coveted him for a long time.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 4, 2016 -> 05:59 PM) JJ Cooper‏ @jjcoop36 Hmm, Lopez/Robles/Giolito/Fedde/Kieboom/Dunning/Neuse/Stevenson...Still hard to see how they could do both, but Nats are creative. Fine, I'll bite: Pirates get: Giolito Espinoza Lopez Gio Gonzalez Nationals Get: Sale Robertson Cutch White Sox Get: Turner, Glasnow, Robles, Feede, Bell, Stevenson

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 4, 2016 -> 05:43 PM) December 8th is Thursday btw. Poop. Duh

If you don't like any of the above options, reply with your own.

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Dec 3, 2016 -> 11:20 AM) If they have Altuve, Correra and Bregman to his right I'm sure his bat would be just fine...add in Springer's power from CF and anybody's bat can play at 1st. I think right now their biggest question could be LF. Are they content with an Aoki/Gattis split there? Beltran can't play LF much anymore and Gattis hasn't really played 1B much in his career. I honestly think signing a true C would be their best bet. C- Weiters/McCann/Gattis 1B- Mcann/Gurriell 2B- Altuve SS- Correra 3B- Bregman/Gurriell LF- Gurriell/Aoki/Gattis CF- Springer RF- Reddick DH- Beltran/Gattis Wouldn't want to face that lineup...if I'm their GM I'm moving AJ Reed, Paulino, and Martes for the best SP I could get and not messing with those hitters. They signed Weiters too?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 3, 2016 -> 09:55 AM) What do you mean "gets through?" If he's non-tendered, he's just a feee agent I thought. Yup yup

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 07:44 PM) I'd literally rather have anyone from our system. Anyone else. It's not like you don't like Avi or something, is it!! Tantrums are real, huh?

Or we could pick up this Erik Johnson fellow, whom was also non-tendered.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 06:00 PM) Tyson Ross non-tendered by the Padres Wow. Pick him up.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 03:51 PM) They are putting the band back together. The band of suck

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 03:23 PM) Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 52m52 minutes ago Nationals non-tender Ben Revere. In-trest-in

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 02:55 PM) Pretty much. I want to be pissed about this, but it doesn't really matter for a team that's going 66-96 in 2017. Maybe he shocks the world and turns into a player...probably not. Yup yup - bring on the suck

QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 02:51 PM) What the f***? Why?!?! Your 2017 DH. Cheap play to establish value. Likely futile but hey, last shot.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 02:41 PM) Avi tendered for $3M We're officially rebuilding

QUOTE (Ro Da Don @ Dec 1, 2016 -> 07:16 PM) Speaking of the Pirates, Jung Ho Kang was charged with "leaving the scene of a DUI accident" in South Korea. That guy is having an awful year. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/12/jung...p;post-id=78752 Drink, beat, repeat...
