QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 06:38 PM) Rasmus can play defense and has hit well before. Thou he's struggled offensively in some years too. Corrected.

QUOTE (spiderman @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 03:59 PM) Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan Hahn: Sox have reached $ limit... Still don't believe it. Posturing.

I think we'd match up well here. Grandall to us Danks to LA.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 11:22 AM) He was DFA'd by Seattle last year and waived by Texas. I doubt there is much interest in him around the league. If we made him available - he'd draw interest in my mind. He would also be an attractive piece to bring up in trade talks.... so I guess we just don't see eye to eye on this one.

Michael Ynoa? whoa.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 11:24 PM) Next up...OF move. Yup. Danks and Dayan are gonna be the focal points.

Brooks Boyer should have lots to work with in a vamped up team and a decade anniversary. Fun marketing plays, coming soon... Indeed.

Bassit, huh... He's got the potential to be another young under the radar rotation guy for Oakland but really think he'll end up in the pen. I was looking forward to seeing him in 2015 for us. That said, I ain't mad at all. Think Danish has way more promise and projects far better.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 10:21 PM) This has been an awesome day for the baseball fan in me. It started out with me and Ken Griffey Jr (my favorite player, other than Frank Thomas, as a kid) having a short conversation on an airplane this morning. And ends with the Sox picking up major needs in Robertson and (likely) Samardzija. Awesome. Holy awesome, batman!

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 10:21 PM) I mean, we have to be close to being done right? What do we have left in terms of spending money? People were saying we only had about 20 million to spend... I've been pushing back that they'll have twice that. We're at about 29 so far. I'm thinking we have another 15 now and that they've seriously considered getting Danks off the books if it makes sense for something that requires more.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 10:19 PM) Regardless. This is the biggest news day for the White Sox fans since October 26th, 2005. +1

BOOM! I love it. This is the best offseason night in the history of Soxtalk. So awesome. I KNEW big big things were happening this offseason. Best part is we're not even close to being done. Get ready to dream boys and girls... That is, if you can ever sleep again.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 09:55 PM) I must admit I haven't even processed the 10 million annually he's going to get. I keep tellin folks they gotta just not worry about money right now. Also been saying we're gonna spend big this offseason for ages... Also said we're gonna get a deal done ALA Freddy Garcia back in 2004. LaRoche - 12.5M Duke - 4.5M Robertson - 11.5 Shark - 10M About 29M so far and we're not done yet - boys and gals.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 09:26 PM) I can't believe they can sleep with this stuff half done. They aren't sleeping... It's called "last minute negotiation tactics." This method also includes crack cocaine and seedy prostitutes.

Well lookie there! It's actually gonna happen.

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 04:11 PM) One has to wonder how many of these rumors are true at this point. Is there anybody we are NOT interested in? I really think that this is the first offseason where we're beginning to get a true feel for Hahn and his style of "play". Kenny Williams was pretty easy to read and Hahn seems to be better at holding his cards. A couple weeks back, he stated in an interview that he expects the White Sox to be pretty much associated with every name on the board. That's what we're seeing. Hard to read and gives him leverage in trade / FA talks. Bomb.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 11:24 AM) i have AT&t uverse where you can watch TV on-line. Of course MLB Network wasnt one of the 50 or channels I can do that with. Same here - that was the exact first route I took... to no avail, just like you.

MLB Network talking Sox / Shark after this commercial break.

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 09:36 AM) check your pm Man... why'd you send me a picture of an old grandmother sitting on a toilet?

Yea, any method at all I'm surprised that they don't offer news related media streaming live to paid mlb.tv subscribers... like me.

Hey Gang, Of course the day I decide to move into an office is the day the winter meetings start... so I don't have access to my comfy couch and man cave at home... Anyone know how to watch the festivities streaming on the web?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 07:31 AM) MLBTR needs to step up their game. They haven't put up anything in two hours. Their on the ground at the meetings scooping the first breaking story of the year. Either that or they both got dosed with exlax and have been blowing up toilets for hours ALA dumb and dumber.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 05:23 AM) MLBN live from 11am-midnight ET. It's Christmas!!! It's f***ing Christmas!!!!

I'm of the school that thinks... "It's not my money / supply and demand / baseball economy is rising / f*** it / spend more and put butts in the seat / get a bigger TV contract"

QUOTE (Sockin @ Dec 7, 2014 -> 10:37 PM) White Sox setting their sights on David Robertson Hello first White Sox related tidbit of the winter. Bring him on... Then get me a frontline RHSP and a left fielder who can f***ing rake.
