QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 11:14 AM) We can now put to bed the "soft rebuild; get rid of the clubhouse cancers" conspiracy theories If Sale and Eaton were as well liked as Buehrle and Konerko were, you have no idea what Reinsdorf would have signed off on last fall. This issue is closed. Let's be happy today.

Should have quit while I was ahead... So who's next? I'll go Frazier to Boston. Just makes too much sense.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 10:47 AM) Q has always been a favorite. Now go suck for the Cubs and return to the Sox in four years I want Q to be Q for the next 10 years, no matter who he plays for. I just don't want the Cubs to make any more World Series.

Sox will face him in two weeks too...more than likely.

Bottom line, if they're doing this with the Cubs on July 13th, it wasn't going to get better. Be happy with this deal, and look forward to 5-6 more trades in the next couple weeks.

Happy. Very happy.

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.
