QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 05:33 PM) I'm fine with Tilson keeping CF warm until Andrew Benintendi is ready to come up and take over the position. (See what I did there? The power of wishful thinking!!)

White Sox trade Zach Duke to the STL Cardinals
Trade deadline article citing Tilson as the Cards best potential trade chip who could be moved. Suggest he could have been felt for a rental starting CF or 1B. http://www.minorleagueball.com/2015/7/28/9...deable-prospect

Sox are going to blow this, aren't they?
QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 05:12 PM) A post from 20 hours from now... Well, sometimes trades come in right under the wire and they don't get announced until now... Waiting... Waiting... Nothing.

White Sox Listening on Sale
QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 04:31 PM) How many of you would pay $250 to see Hahn's text messages in real time over the next 20 hours? Just 250? Ten times over!

One thing Hahn has shown in the last 3+ years is a lot of patience. He's set a precedence with other GM's as someone who won't fold or budge much from his demands, I imagine.

Non White Sox Trade Rumors
QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 03:56 PM) Reasonable looking prospect too. If Gonzalez and Shields are still here Tuesday we riot. 27 year old prospect who got lit up in the MLB and has a 3.38 ERA in the minors

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 03:48 PM) Agree. As I said yesterday, I am afraid Hahn is still going for it in 2016. Why?

The Second Wildcard
QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 03:03 PM) If the Red Sox lose in Anaheim, they will be tied with the Tigers for the second wildcard. Only ahead by a percentage point. They really really need to f***ing pony up and get a package from us for a SP, OF, and RP Dumb ass mofos

Is there a plausible argument for competing next year?
No.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 02:23 PM) How about hitting seven home runs in a game and losing...just sayin' Only two more months of this s*** left to go! Out of all the disappointments this year (and there have been a lot) Rodon has been one of the biggest. This guy now looks like he has no idea what he wants to do out there. Mark Not even a shade of the bulldog we saw at NC

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:42 PM) Doziers homer looks like an infield fly compared to what Thome did http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/0/v11084089/c...mer-in-the-10th That's a crime. He should have been arrested Oh I remember. Very well. Before Thornton threw the pitch I walked up to the TV and turned it off. My dad asked what the hell I was doing - to which I replied, "Thome is hitting a walk off." He says something like, "you don't know that - turn it back on!" I turned it back on and the crowd was going nuts which Thome circled second. I turned the TV back off and said, "see" My dad was looking at me dumbfounded.

White Sox trade Zach Duke to the STL Cardinals
QUOTE (spiderman @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:32 PM) Definitely appears to be a more well rounded player, but is there enough there that he maxes out an everyday CF? We'll see - Brett Gardner is his ceiling. I'd say that's a good comp - maybe he's a little faster than Brett with less pop. Scouts still think that he will grow into more power. Gotta like the speed, batters eye, contact skills, and defense.

- White Sox trade Zach Duke to the STL Cardinals
QUOTE (spiderman @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:17 PM) Sounds like they acquired a possible starting OF/CF if he maximizes his potential, but is more likely a 4th OF. To be honest, I'm underwhelmed, but I'm no expert. Duke is a good middle reliever, and there seems to be a premium right now on quality pitching. How does this return compare to what Seattle got for Montgomery? Vogelbach is a more one dementional player where as this kid we picked up has a good 3 or 4 tools in the plus column. More well rounded. I personally would have rather had Vogelbach thou.- White Sox Listening on Sale
QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 11:32 AM) I feel like the GM, the senior vp of operations and the manager holding a meeting the day before trade deadline would suggest something is up. Naw, they're all just comparing notes on poop reports. Talking about color, consistency, foreign objects visible, etc. Trying to determine if team diet should change or not.- White Sox trade Zach Duke to the STL Cardinals
QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 11:51 AM) Sounds like Shuck 2.0 Way faster and more athletic. And he's already a Cub Killer http://wreg.com/2016/07/23/charlie-tilson-...r-the-redbirds/- July 30th Game Thread - White Sox at Twins
QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 05:42 PM) The idea behind that signing was great. Too bad 70% of this roster blows. And too bad he couldn't have been healthy since May 8th- Misc. Sox Quotes & Tweets
Just heard the Washington Nationals announcer say that the White Sox have the most blown saves in all of baseball.- Sox are looking at catchers in Yankees/Red Sox farm systems
QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 03:14 PM) Christian Vazquez is an unbelievable pitch framer. I'm sure the data agrees, because I just marvel at how quickly and smoothly he snaps every pitch in to the zone. Wow- White Sox Listening on Sale
QUOTE (Soxnfins @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 03:34 PM) Robertson maybe? I'd do a happy dance if we got those two for Robertson- White Sox Listening on Sale
QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 01:28 PM) @Ken_Rosenthal Sources: #WhiteSox scouted #RedSox’s AAA, AA and High A affiliates last night. Sox “highly doubt” deal will occur due to asking price. Blanketing of #RedSox’s system by #WhiteSox was first mentioned by @pgammo. Some believe CWS simply laying groundwork for off-season trade. More leverage for trade talks with other teams... "We can just trade with Boston this offseason. We're already getting prepared for it." Use Rangers against Boston, "Look, the Rangers are being very aggressive. Unless we get something done before Monday - we might not have the assets you want around still this offseason." - White Sox trade Zach Duke to the STL Cardinals
