QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 09:26 PM) Just curious, does anyone else besides me feel like the Sox could compete next season just by unloading Quintana and Robertson for some young major league talent? Let's say...Quintana to Red Sox for Benintendi, Shaw, Groome, Kopech. And also....Roberston to Giants for Joe Panik Sox go out and sign Rich Hill and Lucroy Rotation is.... Sale Hill Rodon Gonzalez Shields/Fulmer Lineup is.... SS Anderson RF Eaton DH Abreu C Lucroy 3B Frazier LF Melky CF Benintendi 1B Shaw 2B Panik Saladino and Lawrie are your backup IF. Or maybe you even give the Giants one of those two along with Robertson until Christian Arroyo is ready to come up for them. Narvaez is your backup catcher. Nate Jones becomes your closer, and you obviously sign a couple MR in there to replace deadweights like Albers. I think that team is certainly better in 2017, even though you lost Quintana and Robertson. 1.) How would we sign Lucroy when he isn't a FA until 2018? 2.) You really think Boston would include Groome and Kopech? 3.) You really think SF would trade Panik for Robertson?

I'm crushed.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 10:12 PM) I initially bet 2k on the giants, then live bet another 2K, when they were down 3-0. Good call ?

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 09:04 PM) I'm not convinced the Cubs are winning this tonight. Good call.

Cubs / Blue Jays World Series

QUOTE (dpd9189 @ Oct 9, 2016 -> 09:20 PM) I expect Frazier to be in a different uniform on Opening Day 2017. If so then you should also expect to see Sale, Q, Abreu, and Eaton in a different uniform as well. No reason to sell off a low salary high power infielder unless you're going full rebuild. I'd find it more likely that Frazier gets extended than sold in the offseason.

What a strange f***ing game

Wonder what kinda injury Hendricks has... this could change the dynamic of the entire playoffs.

Funny Samajideziasjjjjjjjyyyyaaaaaa lasted just two innings. Bum. Come on Giants!

Giants are toast. Edit: Hendricks with a bases loaded single for 2 RBIs

QUOTE (oldsox @ Oct 8, 2016 -> 12:02 PM) What happens in December? Will Southsider then be able to accept being corrected without accusing others of having "an attitude"? Winter meetings, yo.

Is it December yet?

QUOTE (shipps @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 12:07 PM) I am going to refresh this thread every minute from now until December when some other team signs him for less than expected.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Oct 5, 2016 -> 08:45 PM) If the Sox could pry Benintendi and Moncada I'd do that asap. Just those 2, no one else is necessary. For anyone other than Sale - hell yes... But Sale... For those two alone? I'm not so sure.

I've never seen Conor that stoked. Awesome. I'd say Goants and White Sox fans are the only people in the world who were stoked on that smash.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 5, 2016 -> 06:02 PM) Mlb replay everyone That s*** was almost impossible to call.

QUOTE (dpd9189 @ Oct 4, 2016 -> 09:01 PM) I agree, I think a rebuild is coming. After hoping for it for so long and being let down repeatedly, it's kinda like the new TOOL album: I'll believe it when I see it.

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Oct 3, 2016 -> 01:17 PM) Yeah, Chris is a fine clubhouse guy until his sensibilities are offended, and then he throws a temper-tantrum and embarrasses the organization. If he weren't exceptionally good at what he does, he would've been shown the door earlier this year. I've heard from a very reliable source that Sale is not that great of a guy, in more ways than one.

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Oct 3, 2016 -> 09:48 AM) ... I don't see the downside in waiting until July instead of January to sell off and rebuild. People have been saying that since 2013... Almost like clockwork. Then, in July... It's, "we can wait until the offseason to sell." That cycle needs to just stop with some definitive action... Finally.

QUOTE (shipps @ Oct 3, 2016 -> 09:34 AM) Hahn says that they absolutely under achieved this year. They dont think there is a problem with this team. They're so much double speak and bulls*** flying. For all we know, reports of JR wanting to "win now" and reports of us wanting to buy could all be BS meant to drive up the value of our trade assets. They're not going to just come out and say, "We sucked. We need to fill holes at catcher, DH, Centerfield, and about half of our bullpen... as a start. We're in desperate need here." Who knows what the f*** they're doing. Kenny should be gone. Bastards.

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Oct 2, 2016 -> 10:04 PM) I trade Quintana and Melky to Boston for Benintendi, Moncada, Kopech. Good luck with that. QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Oct 2, 2016 -> 10:04 PM) Trade Lawrie(he can be there new Utley) to the Dodgers for Puig. Good luck with that. QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Oct 2, 2016 -> 10:04 PM) In a trade of contracts, Robertson to Colorado for CarGo. Good luck with that. ?

Do something different. It's too early for me to come up with something comprehensive. For now all I can say definitively is: Something different.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 2, 2016 -> 06:28 PM) Because Drew Pomerantz has an injury and Shields apparently doesnt. Are you sure about that?

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Oct 2, 2016 -> 02:10 PM) Sigh, I wanted to believe so much. I don't understand how Kenny isn't canned. They've seen the results of the two of these guys butting heads for at least 2 years now. What. The. f***.

Report just out that the Commissioner offered Boston the option to undo their trade with San Diego in August. Wonder why the same opportunity wasn't afforded to the White Sox regarding Shields.
