Hector Santiago turned into Gio/Lopez/Dunning

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 08:45 AM) Yes, yes, yes! But we already cleaned out their system lmao. So who do they have left that the Sox would want? Severino? Stevenson? Turner? I see what you did there

QUOTE (Ro Da Don @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 07:51 PM) The #WhiteSox kept asking for #RedSox 3B Rafael Dever in Chris Sale trade, but the RedSox refused. Compromise: Victor Diaz and Luis Basabe. Check out @BNightengale's Tweet: https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/806...0049196032?s=09 Glad that's clear now

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 07:18 PM) Larry Himes. Took over for Hawk. Sent Harold away. Traded all the starting pitchers.i think Fisk, Ozzie, and Ivan Calderon were the only guys he kept. He even traded Kenny Williams. Ah, right before my time of fandom. Around then I was in my baseball pull up diapers. Thanks for the insight.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 07:13 PM) Himes did. He traded everybody. Himes?

Guys... they've NEVER rebuilt like this. In fact, of Q is traded I won't be able to remember any team doing something like this before.

My prayers are being answered- finally - after years!!!

QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 02:12 PM) Robertson, Jones, and Frazier can bring something back too. Not anything top 50, but something. I beg to differ.

#3 and #38 prospects in MLB and their 2016 first rounder. Good return, too bad we couldn't get Robles.

Anyone know how I can stream just the audio from MLB network or some other radio station with coverage? I'm stuck driving all day.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 11:14 AM) And there we go... Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 5h5 hours ago Chris Sale on Boston: "Realistic chance of winning the World Series. Dedicated ownership, front office guys committed to winning annually." Not a single thing wrong with any of that statement.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 04:13 AM) At this point I think Benintendi is more of a sure thing. OK you can peg me as one of those who liked the SSS of his ML debut as opposed to Moncada's. Moncada is the toolsier guy and we've seen how the Sox have coveted and failed with those types. Just wanted more of a sure thing for Sale. Moncada will have to prove he can hit change ups and curves. If he can though... watch out. If he can't... yikes. Exactly my thinking as well.

You're funny.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 09:34 PM) Apparently the Nats increased their offer to Robles, Giolito, and Lopez this morning. Tough to turn that one down, that's a lot of faith in Moncada and Kopech turning into stars. Tough to pass that up and I'm surprised they couldn't use that nationals offer to get more from Boston. Kinda call bulls*** on that one.

QUOTE (Two-Gun Pete @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 09:28 PM) "Big Game" James should be the Opening Day starter... Just to make this team's tanking intentions perfectly clear. By the time this firesale is over, this could be a 120 game losing team. I fully support James Shields in this way and hope for him to royally suck for us.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 08:04 PM) Imagine if he hits Syndergaard level..... Yea. The Sale trade has a chance to be a new age Cano and Syndergaard for us at best. A complete f***ing s*** show at worst.

Once we're done with a lot of the main pieces being sold this offseason, I nominate myself to make the next banner. See my signature for a reference. Hell, use that s*** as the signature for now.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 05:52 PM) Funny, considering I was the only person who called Shields being worse than Latos and Gonzalez. Well, I did literally say repeatedly: "if I can hit him anyone can - he's horrible".

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 07:23 PM) Right. The question I have is does Moncada have a higher possibility of busting than say Bregman/Swanson/Giolito? Yes, yes, no

QUOTE (South Sider @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 04:35 PM) Joel Sherman ‏@Joelsherman1 13m13 minutes ago Short chat with #Whitesox owner Jerry Reinsdorf: "Boston knows what it got (Sale). We hope we know what we got." #Redsox Kind of a cryptic message from the chairman. What a sunny comment, Jerry. Sour Sally.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 04:02 PM) So did Engel a year ago. Touché, thou - obviously different evaluation in play between the two with vastly different pedigrees.

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 02:47 PM) It'll be interesting to see what they do with Frazier now. Do they offer him a four-year deal? That would keep him here through 2020. Hell no he's the next guy traded IMO

A poor mans Mike Trout is always a positive too

For those of you pissed off - consider this possibility: Moncada's cieling comps are Robinson Cano and Manny Machado Kopech's cieling comp is Noah Syndergaard Then you've got another prospect with a cieling comp of a starting center fielder Round it off with another guy who you're gambling on development no through your system to a strength and into another high end starting roatation arm. You hit on this and you've turned 3 years of Sale into 7 years of Robinson Cano and Noah Syndergaard... ++.
