QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 09:48 AM) I like the first 4 pieces. What's wrong with Austin Barnes? With Puig you have two years to turn him around and then trade him as well. Not sure we could expect more.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 09:25 AM) I'd prefer Urias, DeLeon, Lux, Bellinger, Barnes, and Puig as a throw in. A dodger nut friend of mine said, "I'd hate that deal".

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 09:20 AM) Sale AND Frazier? Give me Urias, De Leon, Verdugo, Bellinger, Lux, and Puig/Pederson I'd prefer Urias, DeLeon, Lux, Bellinger, Barnes, and Puig as a throw in.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 07:23 AM) Well to be fair, its all the Sox have done for the past ~15 years. I think they'll rebuild (because they'd be fools not to), but I guess I won't really believe it until I see it. This

Interesting tidbit from Rosenthal from a Fox Sports piece: http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/notes-a...-pitches-111016

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 13, 2016 -> 12:18 PM) Add in back to back top 5, maybe number 1 picks and we're back. Exactly. I just don't know if we could literally get 18 prospects of that level or not. Who really knows what's realistic and what's not... aside from actual front office folks.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Nov 13, 2016 -> 05:45 AM) I like the effort you put into it too much to knock any of the trades. However you did trade for Benintendi but he's not a starter in the OF ? He's arguably the best piece you got from the trades and ML ready. I'd be so freaking stoked if this all happened. I'd gladly watch up lose 100 games in 17 and 90 in 18.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Nov 12, 2016 -> 10:44 PM) I'll toss in another random tweet speculation that I saw.... Someone said maybe the Dodgers cleared Howie Kendrick out of the way to open up a Sale trade in which Lawrie is added in. Find it hard to believe that they'd trade for Lawrie with his injuries but it's an interesting thought. Something more has to be cooking since a non tender announcement is pretty standard, unless I'm incorrect in that line of thought.

I don't even recall what his injuries were... groin and feet? Quad? Edit: it's hamstring, knee, and quad.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 12, 2016 -> 06:28 PM) Rob Hill ‏@real_rob2017 1h1 hour ago SOURCE: #WhiteSox have officially non-tendered Brett Lawrie making him a free agent. Odd

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Nov 12, 2016 -> 05:04 PM) It's cool. Just freeing up a spot for Alex Bregman. +1 I'm not familiar with Hustons farm but is a Sale for Bergman, Martes, Tucker, Fisher, and Whitely: A) Enough for the Sox B) Something Huston would even consider

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 12, 2016 -> 05:01 PM) The idea of watching Carlos Sanchez ground out to 2nd base for an entire season makes me want to vomit, but hey....rebuilding! Oooooooooor, they'll be getting some top prospect 2b stud back in a trade.

If you're rebuilding, play Garcia as the full time DH. At least we have an ambiguous White Sox rumor from a credible source. Lion feasting and all. Love that kids intensity ?

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 08:18 PM) *One rival executive’s read on the White Sox: “I think they’re in the exact same place they were in during the summer. They’ll listen on everyone, but I think they’ll focus on trying to move the short-term guys first and then listen on the big guys — and ultimately not move the big guys.” The “short-term guys” are Frazier, second baseman Brett Lawrie and outfielder Melky Cabrera, all of whom are entering free-agent years, and closer David Robertson, who is signed through 2018. The “big guys,” of course, are left-handers Chris Sale and Jose Quintana. --per Rosenthal I'll literally vomit out of my asshole if we half measure this either way AGAIN.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 11:59 AM) I think he was the one who had a falling out with his source. Or maybe it was someone else. That may have been Rock Raines

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 11:20 AM) I don't think he is either. My preference is Swihart in all honesty and he might be the Sox preference as well. Who knows. Based on scouting reports I saw last year, this is accurate.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 05:55 PM) MLB ready players in these trades, or trying to cause more confusion by not fully saying that the Sox are gonna rebuild. They're gonna try increasing payroll and making the big signings they never did before.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if "long term" success translated to large free agent contracts that this organization has never given out before. Sign Cespedes and fill all the other holes... or sell it all and walk away with the best farm system in history.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 03:29 PM) He actually said he would be surprised if it was centered around him. Incorrect. He said he would expect a Sale / Boston deal to center around AB. https://twitter.com/barstoolwsd/status/796122487914369024

QUOTE (Username @ Nov 7, 2016 -> 09:29 PM) Merkin saying they probably won't be big spenders, regardless of the path chosen. Not sure how much stock to put into it, but it's interesting. Get ready for months of misinformation and posturing. We won't know what's gonna happen until it happens. We have enough history with Hanh now to know that. With Kenny it was easier to read between the lines and know what was bulls***. Not so much with Rick. In that way and that way alone, I miss KW.

The article also lists us as interested potentially in: Fowler Desmond Bautista Ramos Wieters Reddick Gomez Saunders Napoli Morales Wood Cecil Moss Jay Holliday Give me 4 of those top 7 or sell it all.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 7, 2016 -> 06:08 PM) Ya but what's his WAR? Could it be magic?

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 7, 2016 -> 05:55 PM) There's been talk Devers may be the best of the bunch. I want him in any deal. Moncada, Benintendi, Devers and Rodriguez or Kopech? Just give me Barry Manilow straight up and I'm good.
