QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Nov 12, 2016 -> 10:44 PM) I'll toss in another random tweet speculation that I saw.... Someone said maybe the Dodgers cleared Howie Kendrick out of the way to open up a Sale trade in which Lawrie is added in. Find it hard to believe that they'd trade for Lawrie with his injuries but it's an interesting thought. Something more has to be cooking since a non tender announcement is pretty standard, unless I'm incorrect in that line of thought.

I don't even recall what his injuries were... groin and feet? Quad? Edit: it's hamstring, knee, and quad.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 12, 2016 -> 06:28 PM) Rob Hill ‏@real_rob2017 1h1 hour ago SOURCE: #WhiteSox have officially non-tendered Brett Lawrie making him a free agent. Odd

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Nov 12, 2016 -> 05:04 PM) It's cool. Just freeing up a spot for Alex Bregman. +1 I'm not familiar with Hustons farm but is a Sale for Bergman, Martes, Tucker, Fisher, and Whitely: A) Enough for the Sox B) Something Huston would even consider

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 12, 2016 -> 05:01 PM) The idea of watching Carlos Sanchez ground out to 2nd base for an entire season makes me want to vomit, but hey....rebuilding! Oooooooooor, they'll be getting some top prospect 2b stud back in a trade.

If you're rebuilding, play Garcia as the full time DH. At least we have an ambiguous White Sox rumor from a credible source. Lion feasting and all. Love that kids intensity ?

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 08:18 PM) *One rival executive’s read on the White Sox: “I think they’re in the exact same place they were in during the summer. They’ll listen on everyone, but I think they’ll focus on trying to move the short-term guys first and then listen on the big guys — and ultimately not move the big guys.” The “short-term guys” are Frazier, second baseman Brett Lawrie and outfielder Melky Cabrera, all of whom are entering free-agent years, and closer David Robertson, who is signed through 2018. The “big guys,” of course, are left-handers Chris Sale and Jose Quintana. --per Rosenthal I'll literally vomit out of my asshole if we half measure this either way AGAIN.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 11:59 AM) I think he was the one who had a falling out with his source. Or maybe it was someone else. That may have been Rock Raines

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 11:20 AM) I don't think he is either. My preference is Swihart in all honesty and he might be the Sox preference as well. Who knows. Based on scouting reports I saw last year, this is accurate.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 05:55 PM) MLB ready players in these trades, or trying to cause more confusion by not fully saying that the Sox are gonna rebuild. They're gonna try increasing payroll and making the big signings they never did before.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if "long term" success translated to large free agent contracts that this organization has never given out before. Sign Cespedes and fill all the other holes... or sell it all and walk away with the best farm system in history.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 03:29 PM) He actually said he would be surprised if it was centered around him. Incorrect. He said he would expect a Sale / Boston deal to center around AB. https://twitter.com/barstoolwsd/status/796122487914369024

QUOTE (Username @ Nov 7, 2016 -> 09:29 PM) Merkin saying they probably won't be big spenders, regardless of the path chosen. Not sure how much stock to put into it, but it's interesting. Get ready for months of misinformation and posturing. We won't know what's gonna happen until it happens. We have enough history with Hanh now to know that. With Kenny it was easier to read between the lines and know what was bulls***. Not so much with Rick. In that way and that way alone, I miss KW.

The article also lists us as interested potentially in: Fowler Desmond Bautista Ramos Wieters Reddick Gomez Saunders Napoli Morales Wood Cecil Moss Jay Holliday Give me 4 of those top 7 or sell it all.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 7, 2016 -> 06:08 PM) Ya but what's his WAR? Could it be magic?

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 7, 2016 -> 05:55 PM) There's been talk Devers may be the best of the bunch. I want him in any deal. Moncada, Benintendi, Devers and Rodriguez or Kopech? Just give me Barry Manilow straight up and I'm good.

Welcome back to June of 2016.

Welcome to last month

My signature says clearly which camp I'm in ? Good article idea. ??

QUOTE (SonofaRoache @ Nov 6, 2016 -> 03:41 PM) We went the youth route a few times and that failed miserably as well. When was the last time the White Sox rebuilt?

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Nov 6, 2016 -> 10:51 AM) https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/redsox/2...hdSK/story.html Chicago White Sox — More than one GM has said that White Sox GM Rick Hahn is open for business on just about his entire roster. That includes Chris Sale and the rest of the rotation, Jose Abreu, third baseman Todd Frazier, and closer David Robertson. Please be true. Sell em all.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Nov 6, 2016 -> 02:29 AM) Sale and Rodon for Mike Trout Sale for Trout + $. Gives the angles the ace and starting pitcher they need with enough offset financially for them to still throw in money to us and sign a FA OF bat. They'd have an overall increase in WAR. We'd get the best possible solution known to man for our OF and line up, with some cash thrown in to help us sign a FA SP or pick one up in another trade which requires more salary. One can dream.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 5, 2016 -> 07:43 PM) I saw today we're interested in Bautista and Encarnacion. Also need to find a catcher. Where'd you see that?

Oh god no MLB Trade Rumors... god no! Their offseason plan for us is basically the same "solution" we've been seeing for the past 8 years

QUOTE (Donaldo @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 05:27 PM) If you try to rebuild and contend at the same time, you will fail at both. In other words, that's EXACTLY what I expect out of this front office. Say hello to the last 4 years. They've gotta do something different this year. They've got to! Right? I mean... there gonna do something different... please tell me they'll do something different!!!
