Also... I posed this question in the last Quintana thread and no one chimed in... I'll ask again: how much of a gap in "prospect power" is thee between Eloy and Tatis Jr.?

Quintana also got his wish... he's staying in Chicago.

Holy s*** - I guess poopbutt23 was right after all! What the hell :wow:

Are we seriously giving this Cubs stuff weight?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 08:40 PM) Wetbutt23 and @Danb2310 would conceivably be the same source Good old @Danb2310's source is @themark2306... aka... Richard Little... aka dick little... aka, he of 4 followers. #ThisIsLegit Edit: I'd also like to point out that this post is a supremely valuable contibution.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 08:16 PM) Nice I was hoping KatyPerrysBootyhole would chime in. Well... her source was wetbutt23... so, you never know. And no - this is not me being a jackass... this is Reddit and the reality of the internet yet again.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 07:39 PM) You guys don't think the deleted tweet was a poorly worded clickbait title for his FB post he made 1 hour ago about the Phillies and Marlins talking Stanton? Well... that sure is logical. ( damn )

Please god let this end tonight.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 07:18 PM) i stayed away from this thread for the longest time... BRING ON THE TEASES Good call.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 07:02 PM) He deleted it so nobody can see it. Apparently it was a few minutes ago but no screenshots have emerged yet. I believe he was asking for a link to the discussion about this shananigins. He wants to see what you're seeing. ( so do we ) ( even if it has a likelihood of being bs ) It's something none the less

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 06:51 PM) Patience young padawan Are these "p" words you mention like padthai at all? I'm familiar with that but not patience or padawan.

After waiting since December and having that massive tease thrown at us this is getting tough to take

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 05:03 PM) WSD posted a video discussing Jimenez/Cease/Q but I can't tell if it's sarcastic That's just about as serious as me posting about a banana split. Either that or the dude he's sitting next to is a total goof ball.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 05:20 PM) Rabbit, Are you of the belief that we would never deal Q to the North side? Somewhere in this thread or on twitter he said that's the case ( not dealing )

QUOTE (Enscheff @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 03:20 PM) Really? You honestly think Q's value is going to be higher than it was last off season or this trade deadline? If that offer wasn't available then or now, it won't magically be available this winter. His value is only going to go down as the Sox waste his years/postseasons of control on a losing team. Take it from someone who watched the Braves waste tens of millions of dollars of Teheran's value by letting him pitch for a losing team...Hahn should cash him in now. This past winter another pitcher was the prize, who fetched two blue chippers. Expecting one blue chip prospect for Q is not unreasonable. We've seen reports that a Q deal was set to go down this last offseason but was shot down at the ownership level by the opposing team. Strongly feel we'll get a good young bat ++ for him. There's nothing magical about it. He's worth it.

QUOTE (Enscheff @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 03:09 PM) Demeritte and Riley are garbage. Only the most posi-Braves seriously consider them as players who will ever impact the MLB roster. If I had to guess, I would imagine Coppy has offered 2 pitchers not named Wright (and probably not both Allard and Soroka), plus Pache, plus 1-2 other fungible assets. Hahn has that offer in his back pocket, and if the Yanks, Astros, Brewers, Rockies, or maybe even the Cubs, give in and include an elite position prospect, Hahn jumps. Absent those teams flinching, getting one of Allard or Soroka could very well be the biggest piece available to Hahn. If I were a Sox fan, I would hope he doesn't gamble again on keeping Q in hopes of netting a bigger return at a later date. It almost bit him once already, and he is unlikely to luck out again. I'd disagree with your trepidation of holding onto Q. We'd likely be able to land a top 20 positional prospect ++ in the offseason where Quintana will still have 3 full years of control. Still think we end up with a top 20 position guy ++ before July 31st.

Does it feel like December 2016 all over again to anyone else?

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 02:11 PM) What don't you understand? You initially said that some of those packages are exciting. I think they're all exciting and that's why the sentiment is that none of the other teams would accept them.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 12:31 PM) I wondered where I got the inspiration. Excuse me while I go consider how to become a contributing member of the Soxtalk community.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 02:03 PM) Cool. Well, that certainly clarifies things!

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 02:01 PM) That isn't very good news. Some of the deals aren't that exciting. I do not understand.

QUOTE (whitesoxwinner @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 01:32 PM) Who says no or do they both do it: White Sox: Quintana Yankees: Frazier, Andujar, Fowler White Sox: Quintana Braves: Acuna, Soroka, Gohara +lotto White Sox: Quintana Brewers: Brinson, Dubon, Phillips +lotto White Sox: Quintana Rockies: Rodgers, McMahon, Lambert It would likely appear that all of the opposing parties are saying no... or we'd likely have a deal made. That said, we won't know for sure for at least another 19 wonderfully slow days. Yay. Here's another question... how far away "prospect power" wise are Tatis Jr. and Eloy?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 11:58 AM) To be fair, I am not getting much done, Ha. I don't think it's possible and really have had a hard time dating back to June and the whole Robert Watch shindig... these next 2+ weeks are going to be brutal. Hopefully there's a flurry.
