QUOTE (GoGoSox2k2 @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 01:13 PM) what you puts the odds on Q and/or Robertson being moved this week? thanks man as always! He and others have already stated: high. My guess is we go through a quiet period for a couple days here leading up to the deadline frenzy... Which the White Sox will be at the center of.

QUOTE (Sox Fan In Husker Land @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 11:54 AM) It's the Dodgers call. Do they want to win this year, and have another ace to go with Kershaw (who can opt out after 2018) for the future or do they try to hope to make the playoffs with their current rotation and hope Kershaw is able to pitch again this year? Here's a fun fact the Dodgers are 42-42 in games not started by Clayton Kershaw. They are 14-2 in Kershaw starts this year. They currently have a 2 game lead for the 1st WC, and a 2.5 game lead on the 2nd WC. Their current 4 man rotation is Maeda, McCarthy (coming off TJ surgery), Kazmir, and Norris. Urias, is back at AAA and on an innings limit. If they plan on making the postseason they need another quality starter point blank. Again looking at the free agent market available in the winter, there is nobody they can go out and buy remotely close to the caliber of Sale or Q for next year. If they want to win this year they better be prepared to dish out a lot of top prospects/young players for Sale or Q, and that includes Urias and De Leon. Exact-a-mundo

Horrible horrible read worth it for the laugh: http://nypost.com/2016/07/25/could-yankees...s-sale-pursuit/ Sale to the Yankees, with them taking Robertson in order to give up less prospects. Yea... Sure. Moron.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 09:08 AM) What an insane seller's market. And of course our major obvious tradable player completely s*** the bed right before the deadline. Irregardless of Robertsons statements - I blame Robin.

Also, we've heard this is a sellers market and all the trades so far have indicated that. Hope Hanh can extract maximum value on all fronts. It's time we clearly WIN a trade or three.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 08:40 AM) And McKinney wow. And I saw Warren as a name going back to NY. I bet the Cubs plan on extending Chapman though. I really hope that once this Cubs deal is done we see some major action... Sadly thou, I feel it's going to be a week of pressing the refresh button. Sell, sell, sell, and then sell some more.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 07:10 PM) Just turned on the espn sunday night baseball game and they are talking about the White sox possibly selling off pieces And?

Patented "White Sox False Hope Winning Streak™" officially underway.

s***s gonna hit the fan around 7/30/16 I can't flipping wait!

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 04:34 PM) I don't think he will. Nor should he. Has a chance in a weaker AL to put the sox up on top with adding Sale/Q and Robertson. I think they still get Robertsom as well in the package. Your statements are pretty contradictory, as they read currently.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 03:57 PM) When the Sale s*** is on the local news in St. Louis you know it is bad. My aunt, who lives in a shotty house and groomed dogs from her bathroom for a living, knew about Chris Sale today at a brunch I hosted. He's a cry baby house hold laughing stock nationally, who just so happens to also be one of the most talented baseball players in the world.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 03:57 PM) I've followed Moncada since he came into the league. Wanted us to sign him, so my hearts set on him lol. Same here.

Pure speculation here but I don't see anything happening with us until next week. Likely a quiet period after this storm and a hold out to extract maximum value if possible.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 09:16 AM) NL scout on Sale: 'I've been in pro ball for 40 years and never have I seen something so stupid and selfish." https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/757247837092454400 This. Yes spot on.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 08:30 AM) I know Dave is usually right this year, but I don't know if I trust him on this. I mean, this is a guy who is still maintaining that the uniform cutting thing never happened, so Welcome to the Darkside

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 12:51 AM) I still don't think the Sox will trade Sale. I doubt they will get what they are looking for and it'd be incredibly stupid to deal him for less than he's worth. Three days ago I was buying into the likelihood being at .001%. Now I'm split at 50/50.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 12:06 AM) Cmon. You think his teammates feel let down? This is millionaire baseball. They know Sale's a f***ing stud and KW and the rest of the suits are clowns. This team proved long ago this season it's not a "team." They don't give a f*** what Sale did. He backs it up with performance. He's the best player on the damn team; he can do whatever he wants. I agree with ptatc. He's gotta be embarrassed when he comes to his senses. There are 24 other grown men that he abandoned and put in a spotlight of stupidity. This is a national story now and it really shines a lite on them all. The team did a good job of picking up his slack but the dude selfishly put everyone under the bus. Throwing him down there with them all had to happen. Like I said, agree with ptatc... Hopefully he sees how dumb this all was an is sincere in his approach to his teammates.

Bwhahahaha https://www.yahoo.com/amphtml/sports/news/t...-041326686.html

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 11:58 PM) I'll back a player like Chris Sale over our s*** management team anyday. He's produced. They haven't. Except for what sadly turned into that one year wonder called a WS title. I will always shake KW's hand and Oz's hand for that and Jerry but this organization blows. More power to Sale. Those uniforms do suck. This has nothing to do with production, tantrums, or uniforms. It's all about song choice and dance off epic failure moves.

Great article about this whole thing: https://theringer.com/chris-sale-chicago-wh...cf6d#.i3pco7j40

Watch this and tell me you don't want him traded. http://m.tmz.com/#video/0_ior3ya9i/

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 10:51 PM) I hope this is not the case but the possibility that there may be a racial element to Sale's dislike for Kenny Williams has crossed my mind. I hope you get a ban for this stupidity.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 09:35 PM) Shows a consistent pattern and not all animus simply aimed at KW. You're half way to an Aenima. Nice.
