QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 30, 2016 -> 02:17 PM) Yep. If he remains healthy and productive, he's just as valuable IMO as a trade piece in 2017 and 2018. Even two years of Q would bring in a haul. While this is true, I think the Sox are motivated to move him now. Between now and spring training, and perhaps during spring training, they'll find a deal. I don't think he's here at Soxfest though.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 30, 2016 -> 02:11 PM) I'm beginning to think he's a member of the 2017 White Sox. If I'm starting to think it - maybe opposing GM's are as well... which could be just what hahn wants. In a rebuilding Hahn and Hostetler I trust. You're gonna poop when he's traded in the next couple hours.

About 1/3 of the ballots are public. Bagwell and Raines are locks. Ivan Rodriguez will be close. Vlad will fall short. After Raines gets in, I'll probably not care about this anymore. I've got my opinions, but screw it.

Free agent catcher AJ Pierzynski turns 40 today. He's a man, he's 40!

You say Navarez, and I say Narvaez...

Sox signed Jorge Rondon to a minor league deal. I would assume he'll be an NRI. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/rondojo01.shtml

QUOTE (Tony @ Dec 28, 2016 -> 07:49 PM) Debbie Reynolds, brutal. That's awful. So sorry for that family.

If a trade happens tonight, it would qualify as a Festivus Miracle.

If the Pirates get Quintana, it's going to be a 2-team trade. The Yankees stuff seems off. They can make their own trade after the fact,.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 01:15 PM) Awesome news for raBBit! Do you know the time by chance? Rosenbloom sounded like they were trying to coordinate a time still. He wasn't specific with any of them. Pirates dude is on now. And no, I will not summarize.

Brian Bilek on the Score later...look at you. Rob Biertempfel (Pirates' version of Merkin), and Levine on later too.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 12:56 PM) Personally, I hope the Yanks and the Bucs start fighting over Q if this falls apart. Or the Astros just pay up.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 11:22 AM) He's just tweeting and re-weeting what rabbit and WSD are saying. He threw in a few other things, but I'm not sure if it's BS. This is where I wish Rosenthal picks up on it, and confirms it himself. Just happen today...enough already.

Not sure if this guy is legit, but maybe keep an eye out here on the Pirates side... https://twitter.com/PiratesFaithful

QUOTE (Mattchoo @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 11:13 AM) I did not realize how YOUNG Rutherford is. Watching some of the pre-draft stuff last year, I was semi-hoping the Sox would have taken him at 10. If they get him, that's a lot of players from last year's draft to get excited about.

McCarthy/Danks trade was 10 years ago today. It was a Saturday, and early evening if I recall correctly. So you never know.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 08:09 PM) They are both rebuilding if this offseason is any indication. It's the Indians division to lose, no question. The Royals will definitely try to contend, but if they are done by the break, Moustakas, Cain, Hosmer, and every pitcher will be out there.

Decent deal for him, but I expect he'll fire his agent next week.

Tomorrow is Festivus. Just sayin'.

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 05:07 PM) Heyman on MLB tonight right now. Says Glasgow plus others would have to go to the Sox, but not Meadows or Keller. So nothing new or dramatic. If it's not Scottish, it's crap!

Hayes and Merkin are fine in their roles if people understand they're an extension of the PR department. They won't be breaking news the Sox don't want you to know.

QUOTE (Saufley @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 11:09 AM) Wow get up on the wrong side of the bed!!! Sorry my life has other things to do except watch TV all day! Get a life! Now, was your response really necessary? Just saying it's a rebroadcast. Wasn't trying to be a dick. Sorry.

I keep recommending Spotless. It's on Netflix, but will also be on Esquire Network if you have that.

QUOTE (Saufley @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 11:02 AM) Rosenthal on MLBN just now says with the signing of Nova that the Pirates could be more inclined to add Glasnow as a piece to the White Sox. When you say "just now", you mean two hours ago when it was on the first time.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 09:35 AM) I'm still not ruling out a 3 way trade involving the Mets. If the Sox did actually ask for Conforto, I could see him coming to the Sox with prospects from Pirates as well: Mets get McCutchen, Robertson Pirates get Q Sox get Conforto, Glasnow, Keller, Smith, Dunn I like the 3-way trade thought, but that's a lot going out from the Pirates only to get Q. If they're trading McCutchen, they probably want multiple young pieces themselves..and keep them.
