QUOTE (peavy44 @ Nov 17, 2016 -> 02:18 PM) Chris sale will be with the white sox in 2017. I picked the Dodgers, but deep down, I agree. I'll believe when I see it.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Nov 17, 2016 -> 01:13 PM) Sox had better get a real good haul for Sale or you just don't trade him. I'm thinking Sale and Frazier to the Dodgers for Seager, De Leon and Puig. Seager and De Leon are good young pieces to build on and from the Dodgers standpoint: Sale and Kershaw, are you kidding? They'd maybe be able to beat the Cubs next year, they'd have to be tempted even giving up Seager. Seager isn't getting traded. Trea Turner isn't either.

Sale and Frazier to LA. Quintana and Abreu to Bos..but probably not.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Nov 17, 2016 -> 11:51 AM) I don't understand the outrage on this one. This is, at most, a slight snub. I think if you take relievers out of the equation, it becomes easier to determine the winner. One of the Tampa writers turned in his ballot a week early. Verlander went 14+ innings and one earned run after that.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 16, 2016 -> 06:30 PM) That shouldn't happen... Rigged. 2 voters didn't have Verlander in the top 5. Both from TB.

Verlander most 1st place votes, finished 2nd. Porcello won. Britton's votes killed Verlander. Time to eliminate relievers from Cy consideration. Sale finished 5th. Scherzer won the NL easily.

Sox and Dodgers play two 2-game series in 2017.

Micah Johnson back or no deal.

I always feel like when it's talked about, it rarely ends up happening. Maybe this is the Sox sending messages to other teams to get serious with offers. It doesn't guarantee future success, but a tear down would be pretty bold and something to talk about.

That Source stuff is laughable. A non tender wouldn't be official until 12-2. I don't doubt he's gone, but there are people on twitter that know stuff, and some that just want attention.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Nov 12, 2016 -> 08:02 PM) Someone on twitter speculated that maybe the Sox just told Lawrie that he won't be returning to the team because they are going to non-tender him IF they can't find a trading spot for him. So could be that he's not returning, but via what transaction we may not know until the 2nd. Exactly what I'm thinking too.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 12, 2016 -> 06:07 PM) Hopefully there's a possibility of a trade so we can at least get something for him. That would be nice, otherwise it may take a few weeks before they announce it.

He changed his avatar and it no longer says White Sox 2b on his Twitter.

Can you bump something else so we can see something other than Congrats Cubs?

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 08:34 AM) Does Free Agency start today? Yes, players are allowed to sign with new teams now.

I was wrong about Britton. Porcello, Kluber, and Verlander are the top 3 in some order. Announced 11-16.

Albers bought out. Yes, we know this is no surprise. https://twitter.com/ChrisCotillo/status/794230912330452992

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 10:24 AM) Man, some of you guys get way too concerned about tweets. Like I said when people were b****ing about the Cubs twitter account, it's f***in twitter, it doesn't have to be 100 percent serious all of the time. No, it doesn't have to be serious all the time. In fact, some of the tweets last week about not remembering 2005 were funny. In this case, when the Sox are congratulating the Cubs, they should have left it as a simple congratulations.

QUOTE (shipps @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 10:18 AM) Its just a twitter account though. Its not like its the FO official public statement about the Cubs winning it. It's the Sox official Twitter account. That's the organization...period.

Shuck off the 40-man. Outrighted to Charlotte. http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/roster/transactions

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 10:04 AM) More of a shot at the media that forgot about 2005 It was, but if they're really going to congratulate the Cubs, then congratulate the Cubs and end it. To include all of the other stuff that tweaks the media is just petty bulls*** from an organization that sucks right now.

Not sure if this has been talked about, but this is pretty passive aggressive stuff. https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/794038366400413697
