QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 13, 2016 -> 12:21 PM) Quintana listed on SoxFest, while DRob isn't I'd read nothing into that either way.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 13, 2016 -> 10:26 AM) Nightengale said he would be surprised if Q wasn't traded sometime this week, so I'm still holding out hope. That being said, it's been awfully quiet lately. Calm before the storm buddy. It's not Wednesday yet.

825 pages of "tucker and martes" Urg. It's 'that' time of the offseason now.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 08:14 PM) Just go back and read the thread from about 10 minutes before the trade happened. We were speculating it had to be Giolito/Lopez and while we didn't guess Dunning, folks definitely were not pleased with that return. I'm not sure Dunning changed that, but I doubt it. There was one person who was against it. The speculation you talked about was when the trade initially was speculated as Q and Eaton for potentially Turner, Robles, Gio, ++ The only real reason for this post: I can't sleep. Tallyho.

Is it Wednesday yet?

QUOTE (heirdog @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 05:07 PM) Quintana and Frazier to Astros for Bregman, Martes, Tucker Robertson to Yankees for Justus Sheffield Abreu to Rockies for Rodgers and Pint If only

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 02:10 PM) Why on Earth would you want to reduce anyone's return by packaging Shields with them? Let Shields suck here for the next two years while eating some innings since the team is going to suck anyways. Duh

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 12:07 PM) DRob for Severino and Stevenson. Yes? No? Maybe so? I'd be stoked

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 08:11 AM) Calm before the storm? Give it till Wednesday

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 12:08 AM) No matter what we trade Quintana for, it will end up being considered by fans and ESPN/MLB Network as just as big of a steal as the Adam Eaton trade was. I say this because Q and Eaton are underrated players due to playing for the lowly White Sox. People think of them as average players. So when we end up getting someone's top prospects again, people will flip their lids thinking we got all that for a "solid #3 starter". Just you watch. Bring it on

QUOTE (daggins @ Dec 11, 2016 -> 07:58 PM) I love the idea of signing Mr Handsome, Colby Rasmus. He seems like a good bet to bounce back and have a decent year. He'll never strike out less than ~30% but he can field and has some power. Good candidate to flip. He might not want to play for Nadir Sox though. I think Q does end up going to Houston, although I could see the Cardinals being strong bidders. I think once Turner signs with the Dodgers, Dombrowski and Hahn hook up again to send Frazier to Boston. Robertson goes to the Nats I think. Not sure what his market looks like. CF Tilson RF Coats/Avi LF Rasmus DH Melky 1B Abreu 3B Lawrie SS Anderson 2B C. Sanchez C Hanigan or trade IF Saladino OF May or Engel C Narvaez Rodon Gonzalez Shields Covey Holland or trade Jones Jennings Putnam Petricka Brian Clark Ynoa Minaya/Kahnle That should be good for 60 wins or so, accounting for any deadline moves. It's pretty awesome when a 102 loss season sounds amazing. I really wouldn't mind it if we were the worst team in baseball for 2017 and 2018. Doubtful thou.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 05:53 PM) A good analysis of the Chris Sale trade from Big Three Sports. Likely the best write up I've seen yet, kudos.

In fact, based on this entire report my guess is that Hahn originally asked for Benintendi, Devers, Kopech, and Swihart this winter. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/12/gamm...p;post-id=80326

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Dec 11, 2016 -> 05:53 PM) The amount of anchoring people have to the BA 100 list is crazy. I wonder if even the clubs themselves are influenced Well it's pretty much a consensus evaluation of players across multiple publications - so I don't think it's odd nor do I doubt teams using it as a reference. In fact, what's so crazy about it?

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 11, 2016 -> 04:54 PM) I couldn't find the old thread where we made the predictions for the off season. Now that things have died down a bit, and Sale and Eaton being traded. Who else do you think will be traded? Where are those players going? What free agent signings do the Sox make to fill the MLB holes? SP Jose Quintana and RP Dan Jennings to the Rockies for SS Brendan Rodgers, SP Riley Pint, OF Raimel Tapia, and 3B Tyler Nelvin RP David Robertson to the Nationals for C Pedro Severino and OF Juan Soto 3B Todd Frazier to the Cardinals (miss out on Justin Turner) for 3B Jhonny Peralta (potential flip at the deadline, 1 year remaining), C Carson Kelly, and SP Dakota Hudson OF Melky Cabrera and 2B/3B Brett Lawrie go at the deadline FA Signings: SP Derek Holland 1 year/3 million SP Jhoulys Chacin 1 year/6 million SP Tom Milone Minor League contract RP Drew Storen 1 year/5 million RP Brian Matusz 1 year/2 million OF Colby Rasmus 1 year/8 million Thoughts? And your ideas? If all this poop when down - I'd be a very happy man.

Yahoo!

From MLB trade rumors citing Gammons.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 11, 2016 -> 03:34 PM) Also need to find a young catcher. Who's this Stubbs I'm hearing about? Is he all glove? Astros number 30 prospect. Not all glove, 50 hit tool with no power. High defensive marks. Severino from Washington is more elite all glove type. I'd target em both... Robertson and Q.

Would people here rather have Pint or Hoffman as a second piece behind Rodgers?

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Dec 11, 2016 -> 12:32 PM) Ahhh thanks. It's another millennial thing, like bae.
