QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 9, 2017 -> 10:13 PM) Dick Allen of our board here convinced me Hahn was determined to ship Abreu and Avi of poop. After being convinced of it, it's easy to see why. Like I said it completes the gutting of the roster and the full rebuild is assured. Come back to reality and bask in the sunlight of logic and reason. Your heart rate will thank you.

QUOTE (FT35 @ Dec 9, 2017 -> 08:08 PM) I thought the same thing till I realized he wasn’t talking about Gleyber. Oooohhhhhhh ?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 9, 2017 -> 09:52 PM) Just give me credit for saying the trade 100 percent would happen after it's completed. Sox are determined to completely gut the roster before finishing the rebuild. I love that you never use facts to support your "logic" - it's such an endearing handsome quality, big boy

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 9, 2017 -> 09:00 PM) https://sports.yahoo.com/bryce-harper-go-no...-235551119.html The six favorites for Bryce Harper now, Cubs in top 3 I wonder when the national media is gonna realize that the Sox only have like 13 cents in payroll with arguably baseballs best young class.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 9, 2017 -> 08:53 PM) ...For St. Louis I need Kelly & Flaherty... Hell, for those two I'd include someone like Sanchez and drive Abreu to St. Louie myself... those two seem to be two of the most "can't miss MLB ready" prospects in the top 100.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 9, 2017 -> 06:25 PM) Red Sox still linked to #WhiteSox slugger Jose Abreu, but keep an eye on Cardinals. @scotgregor: https://t.co/zObvTOxJTk https://twitter.com/dailyherald/status/939661213394280449 Setting up for a bidding war... if we get a blue chip haul in the sale, eaton, or quintana mold - then I'd stomach an Abreu trade. Otherwise, just say, "no way, Jose!"

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Dec 9, 2017 -> 07:52 PM) ...Sanchez would be an upgrade over Torreyes... You sure about that?

Station and Ohtani being off the market at just the right time should make for an interesting few days here at the winter meetings. Finally, it is upon us!!!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 9, 2017 -> 01:12 PM) Fangraphs graded him out as an average fielder - better than Avi Garcia in the field, for example. Huh - cool... better than I had anticipated.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 9, 2017 -> 12:38 PM) Really amazed that this seemingly does take them out of the Harper sweepstakes next offseason. They'll have the money to spend but they can't play all 3 of him, Stanton, and Judge. How do the defensive ratings score Judge? I suspect he doesn't rate out as good as Harper and could see New York being New York and getting all three. Hicks Torres Stanton Judge Harper Sanchez Bird Didi Andujar Good god.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 8, 2017 -> 01:21 PM) Jon Morosi‏ @jonmorosi #Cubs fans, know that Theo Epstein and his staff did all they could to impress Shohei Ohtani: Their presentation included a Virtual Reality experience of his possible life as a Cub. @MLB @MLBNetwork https://twitter.com/jonmorosi/status/939240097077190656 Hah - what a trip

Trade for him if you get a 48 hour window to extend him to a 12 year 350 million dollar deal. Yea... that'll happen. ?

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 6, 2017 -> 11:03 AM) I don't think I've said that since the weekend. Sorry my post didn't have the word poop in it. Didn't mean to be judgemental or come off as an ass - I'm just like you and everyone else here... bored by the lack of activity. It happens every year - you know this.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 6, 2017 -> 10:45 AM) It is his new shtick. Uh - nope. Thanks for trying, sweetheart.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 6, 2017 -> 10:42 AM) Was this in reference to my post? Yours and many others. You know how it is when there's an offseason lull like this.

Weeks and weeks of repeating things over and over and over again ??‍♂️ Thank god the winter meetings are next week.

QUOTE (cjgalloway @ Dec 5, 2017 -> 09:47 AM) Cards just signed Mikolas so now they have even more SP depth to trade from. Making Flaherty and possibly even Reyes now available. If Hahn could get Reyes he would have reached his "asking for an arm and both legs" assumption. Totally. I love said repeatedly that I don't see Abreu going this year... BUT if they dropped Reyes in the bucket then you bet your sweet ass he's outta here! ??

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Dec 5, 2017 -> 09:42 AM) Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN 10s The Angels have agreed to terms with infielder Kevin Maitan, who was made a free agent after MLB ruled the Braves violated rules in signing him. Hey!!! Lookee thar!!! Dey getter a prospected! De onle one!!!!!

QUOTE (Donaldo @ Dec 4, 2017 -> 05:29 PM) I'm thinking Seattle.. that city has a large Japanese population, and a favorable climate (he hates heat). Huh - hasn't heard that about weather.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 4, 2017 -> 09:10 AM) It won't be the Rangers/Cubs. It will be a west coast team and I'm predicting Angels / Mariners. My preference is the Ms now, considering the field.

This s*** is so bonkers.

I'm glad people decided to debate the "potential" of him signing with us when many of us constantly stated we had no chance. My odds did go from 1:1,000,000 to 1:1,000 - so I'll give you guys that.

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Dec 3, 2017 -> 03:45 PM) Craig Mish @CraigMish Source : Stanton trade expected to be finalized in the next 2-3 days. Who dat b

QUOTE (oldsox @ Dec 3, 2017 -> 04:57 AM) There you go again. Southsider has to weave politics into another SoxTalk thread. Yea, it's pretty low-brow IMO. Dare I say, p***? Pthhh.
