I believe they both have had 2 TJ opps.

Just for s***s and giggles on a late Monday night / Tuesday morning.

For some reason I've really felt that their end game plan is indeed Upton, a Frontend RHSP, and one more bullpen piece. That would make lots of us start to dream again.

Nice quick little read. Thanks and great work drumming up unique content, as always... guys.

Back to feeling like a zombie... the entire baseball world is once again void.

Well why the f*** would anyone in Oaklands front office say that? Makes zero sense. This read is good for a chuckle now and shows which reporters in Oakland have bad sources... http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/11/athl...n-pitchers.html

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 09:12 PM) Lol... He wasn't the only saying it would happen this weekend but it seems as if something feel through. Yep. We'll see. At least it gives us some insight into how "aggressive" Hanh is planning to be and how important winning is again to Jerry.

Well this sure fell off a cliff. Damn you again Pg_benson... Damn you.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 05:01 PM) He used to now he's in Hawaii. Moved back September of 2013 when my wife and I decided to have a baby. White Sox at the big A in 2015?

Damn you Pg_benson... Damn you. Kicking my White Sox OCD into overdrive. Gurrrrrr.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 06:54 AM) Literally, putting money aside is cheating in this one. Obviously more people would rather have the latter on players alone, but come on, it's 3 players and you're saying "putting money aside". One of those will cost $250 million over the next 7-8 years, one will cost $40 mil. Let's try making the money approximately even. Who would you rather have 1. Quintana + Scherzer or 2 Upton, Gattis, Lester. You're absolutely right. Stupid late night sleep deprived daddy brain statement.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 10:45 PM) Yeah, not sure I would do it either. I'm just not a huge Samardjiza fan. If Rick is gonna deal for an impact pitcher he should be younger and controlled, IMO. So... How does one sleep at 3am CST with rumors starting to swirl. -Tony The Tiger

QUOTE (JDsDirtySox @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 09:36 PM) I just got a text from someone I trust that says Samardjiza to the Sox is about to happen. Here's the old Dunn tweet - if anyone's interested: https://mobile.twitter.com/Pg_Benson/status...880965189599232

Yay. Rumors - and wouldnt ga know they're involving Upton and Gattis.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 09:23 PM) It's the one second from the left in the top row. Thanks ptatc! That's something funny mate.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 06:32 PM) I'd certainly rather have Quintana over 1 year of Upton and Gattis who really has no position. Obviously- but I'm stating an Upton extension too. You don't think Gattis can catch?

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 07:21 PM) Juan Pierre bobblehead? Lol Overstock from a bad giveaway day that were better off in season ticket holder hands rather than the garbage... Supposedly.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 04:49 PM) Back to reality. Quintana is not getting traded. That'd be stupid. You're right - it's not going to happen and is stupid... Putting money aside thou, what would you rather have... 1.) Jose Quintana Or 2.) Justin Upton, Evan Gattis, and Jon Lester

QUOTE (Tannerfan @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 03:22 PM) Move the fences back at the Cell. Tell Hawk Harrilson it's time to retire. Tell Rick Hahn to keep doing what he's doing. Start selling Gluten free beer on all levels. You hath prevailed

QUOTE (Tannerfan @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 02:43 PM) I love all my fellow Soxtalk members, but y'all are crazy. Thank the lord none of you run my favorite team. Your turn then or risk being branded as a charlatan - ooooohhhhhh.... ahhhhhh.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 12:17 AM) White Sox acquire: OF Mookie Betts, SP Ian Kennedy And then the Sox sign McCarthy for 3 yr/$36M with a 4th year team option for $15M, $3M buy out. Another nice one. Too bad this isn't MLB The Show 2015, hey?

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Nov 27, 2014 -> 10:03 PM) Viciedo retires from baseball to replace Drew Carey as the host of TPIR Beautiful job. Exactly what this thread is for. Wild, crazy, and wonderful stuff man.
