QUOTE (SCCWS @ Feb 7, 2017 -> 03:31 PM) Soon = 2017. They better not blow this. I'm thinking the Astros and Sox need each other right now.

Dear god, please let him get traded soon...

Chris Carter to the Yankees. This week should be very active for remaining free agents. Maybe a trade or three too.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 7, 2017 -> 12:03 PM) They'll do better than that. I hope so, but Robertson hasn't been a lights out type closer in a Sox uniform. He's good, not great, with a pretty hefty contract left. So it's either eating salary to get a better player, or just speculation on a couple guys that haven't played above low A.

Robertson would be a good salary dump / way to get worse. Get a low level, lottery ticket.

If the Sox maxed out with a good bullpen, no more trades, and near perfect health, they could get there. Obviously none of that is going to happen. 68-94

I don't like seeing them have the Astros winning the division by 6 games. They need Quintana...now.

It's a nice thought that the 75th pick is eligible to be moved, but that seems too low to get excited about being part of a trade with Houston for Q.

All of this reaffirms my belief there's little chance he's with the Sox in two weeks. They're dropping more media bombs to force the issue and make the best possible deal before spring training.

Nah, I still feel like Quintana gets traded in the next 10 days. Hopefully six months from today, we're liking the 7-8 trades total they've made.

Only six more months of this.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 31, 2017 -> 12:53 PM) Well, we have an ace for the first half of 2017, it seems. Cue the James Shields gif.

Or that.

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Jan 30, 2017 -> 01:09 PM) Rays released him. Still a chance all you Coats fans! A flat out release might mean he's headed to Japan or Korea. He's kinda at that age where he could go over there and make some money.

Royals sign Brandon Moss 2 years

https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/825758005794738176 Davidson and Tilson are switching numbers. 24 for Davidson, 22 for Tilson. Kopech will wear 34. Kinda surprised they're giving him a big league number already. Not even on the 40-man.

Listening to McKnight today is a reminder why I never turned on WLS last season.

Tim Anderson changing to #7 this season.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 27, 2017 -> 05:46 PM) Kopech and Giolito just got interviewed together. Kaplan is a terrible interviewer. Dan Hayes is with him to save the day now. Davidson now Just watched that. Nice to see Giolito and Collins interviewed. They both can string a sentence together without sounding too programmed.

Giolito will wear 27

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 27, 2017 -> 02:54 PM) He's there, he's just going to be there on Friday now. EDIT: Q that is. Ha. In other words, nothing to see here.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 27, 2017 -> 02:50 PM) Can anyone confirm if he was with the team at all yesterday? Maybe a family emergency came up. Hahn is going to be on The Score at 3:40 for anyone interested. ESPN 1000 in 10 minutes

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Jan 27, 2017 -> 02:47 PM) There has to be abother reason. I just cant see this as a trade. On the other hand they have to know this is going to raise many eyebrows. So why is he not there? All they have to do is play the Family card, and there's not much more you can ask. We'll see.
