QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 4, 2017 -> 11:21 AM) I changed my mind on Q. He's going, and he'll be first- July 26. Only two more weeks. Ok, I'll tell you to who too...Yankees.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 09:38 PM) According to 90% of Twitter Cubs fans, we are being blessed with Schwarber and John Lackey for Quintana! I was kinda half kidding, but wonder if he'd be part of the deal. Honestly, I'm just done with rumors, so I'll be going now... Hope something happens tomorrow.

So, uh, are we getting f***ing Schwarber?

In other news, I think Ken Rosenthal is no longer writing for Fox Sports. Edit: Fox Sports is going to all video.

Courtney Hawkins got a double and homer in a AA game. True story.

I cease to believe this.

Anyone hanging out at the airport, or wiretapping?

Looks like Miguel Gonzalez needs a little time before he comes back. Ha.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 04:22 PM) Does it feel like December 2016 all over again to anyone else? Yeah, just a little. I'm glad people like the at-home GM game, but I just want July 31st to get here and see what's new for the rebuild.

QUOTE (daggins @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 02:59 PM) Gonna be a really long couple days. 19 days from now. 19 long days.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 11:53 AM) Why isn't it fair? I'm not sure I get your angle here. If they're getting close to a deal on the 30th- that's a day game during Hall of Fame speeches- just like last night, you don't want to interrupt that. Then on Monday, yes, you can have somebody in town ready to go that night, but why do that to Q on the 31st? Much easier and common sense to go July 16, 22, and 27. And if he's still here, he'll start August 1st and get a big ovation.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 11:43 AM) He's pitching on seven days rest now. I think a potentially rusty start is a far bigger risk than him pitching a day or two before the deadline. It wouldn't be fair to him or anyone to be on pace for the 30th or 31st. Sunday is the perfect day to schedule him at this point.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 11:36 AM) Pushed back to Sunday. Interesting. Not really. The schedule was set up that it didn't make sense to have him scheduled on the 30th or 31st, when it's crunch time.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 11:27 AM) That means if he stayed until the deadline he'd have three more starts. 7/16 vs. Seattle 7/23 vs. KC 7/28 vs. Cleveland With two off days next week, probably 16-22-27, if he stays that long.

Everything that gets out is by design. It's all posturing until it's done. Said it before- not shocked if it happens today. Not surprised if it happens July 31st at 3pm. Might be a little surprised if he's still on the team on August 1st. I do believe they want to move him this time.

I'm not big on ranking prospects, but I hope Spencer Adams is higher than Carson Fulmer on any list out there.

Chuck Garfien probably chomping at the bit to interview Phillips about his laughing fits.

I need Ken Rosenthal to make this all real. If he says something after the game tonight, then I'll legit think it's happening Wednesday.

Anyone checking minor league lineups tonight?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 06:42 PM) It's going to be the Braves and I am not a huge fan of their prospects There are probably 6-7 teams talking to the Sox. At some point, you just have to have faith the Sox know which package of players to take when the time comes to say yes. They've been scouting these guys for months, so just hope for the best when it happens- at least that's how I'm looking at it. If it's the Braves, I'd be disappointed because Quintana won't be in the playoffs this year, but they just have to take the best deal when it's good enough to pull the trigger.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 05:50 PM) So do you all think the Sox leaked the "Quintana is moving soon" bits to get the 29 other GMs to grab their nuts n get to work? I just think in general, there's a lot of posturing by everyone. He very well could get traded before Friday, but it wouldn't surprise me if he has 1-3 starts left with the Sox either.

15 games before the deadline. 6-9 would be nice...get a couple vs Cubs. 60 games after the deadline...20-40 would be tough viewing, but that could happen depending on who is left. 98 losses would be 2nd or 3rd pick.

Jeez, ya think Judge will win?
