QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 10:08 AM) This has been one heckuva fascinating offseason, what with getting so intimately familiar with the farm systems of Boston, Houston, Texas, Atlanta, Washington, Dodgers, Yankees, Colorado, and now Pittsburgh. Did I miss anyone!! +1

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 06:21 AM) Don Cooper calling into MLBN Hot Stove this morning to talk about the new pitchers the Sox have got. Damn it... I missed it.

Well... it's Wednesday.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 20, 2016 -> 06:06 PM) But why would the Yankees trade Frazier when they need him in 2017? Also, if Benintendi was "untouchable," it's hard to imagine turning down him and Kopech for Q (and NOT getting him for Sale)...that doesn't make any sense, because that makes it seem as if the entire deal hinged on Basabe being included as the 3rd piece AND the choice between Benintendi vs. Moncada (ceiling/floor). Rumored Beni deal was at the deadline

BOOOOORRING!

The twitter ping pong conflicting reports game is at level 3. Goooooood.

QUOTE (ozzfest @ Dec 20, 2016 -> 08:46 AM) I'm starting to think this rebuild is BS. They are just trading the guys that KW didn't get along with (Sale and Eaton) and Robertson (i dont believe Robertson had an issue w management, but i still think they will trade him). This is classic Reinsdorf. Nothing new. More of the same. They aren't going to trade Quintana, Frazier, Melky, Abreu etc... They are branding this as a rebuild so that fans get sucked in. But this is not a change in organizational philosophy. This is just Reinsdorf allowing his life tenured executive(s) to get rid of players they don't get along with. Poop. Yawn. Wipe.

I've been yearning for Q to the Yankees. Fraizer, Torres, and Ruth - that'd make me poop.

They got something for him? Wow

QUOTE (FLsouthsider @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 05:04 PM) I just like the idea of raiding a team's farm system in exchange for a guy that they cut five years ago. Yup Regardless, I hope hahn is telling teams that the price goes UP if he's traded in July.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 11:27 AM) You start your request by asking for Torres, Frazier, Sheffield and Andujar Torres + Frazier is not crazy considering three seasons of Sale got the White Sox Moncada + Kopech as a centerpiece This

Is it Wednesday yet?

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Dec 18, 2016 -> 03:25 PM) I mean anyone who would allow 155 walks in a season has no business pitching in the big leagues. But it's JAMES SHIELDS!!!!

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 18, 2016 -> 02:45 PM) Anyone think the Mets could have interest in Robertson or Jones? A lot of people will have interest.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Dec 15, 2016 -> 04:42 PM) Both are light. If it was allowed, I'd say: "you're nuts!" Since it's not thou - I'll just give you hurumph!

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Dec 14, 2016 -> 08:19 PM) Unfortunately I have no patience. I'm in Thailand at the moment and my gf is starting to get angry at me for waking up at 5am to check my phone to see if any trades went down. I relate to this so freaking hardcore ?

Next wednesday it is then.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Dec 14, 2016 -> 06:27 PM) I still expect half of you that are okay with us losing to be b****ing in the game thread about Avi and Shields and whatnot People gotta start learning how to laugh at 0 - 4 with 4Ks and 1 IP with 8 ER
