The Andy Wilkins tour around the league continues. This time...Seattle.

Gordon Beckham- Braves 1.25 mil

QUOTE (Saufley @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 06:37 PM) If their trade value will sky rocket, why not trade Q? See what teams are willing to overpay for him in a deal. I believe this would be the time to sell high. I agree. Obviously there's no gun to their head....it's not like Quintana will be a free agent after next season. Should be an interesting next 9 days for a ton of teams, including the Sox.

Nice to see the free agent pitching dominoes starting to fall before the Winter Meetings. Could work in the White Sox favor next week in the trade market.

MLBtraderumors has a non-tender tracker for tomorrow night's deadline. They have six Sox players that qualify for their tracker-- Avi, Flowers, Jennings, Jones, Putnam, and Turner. I would doubt any of these guys gets non-tendered. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/non-tender-tracker-2015-16 Could be some minor trades over the next 36 hours.

Any guesses on non-tenders this coming Wednesday? I could see Webb, Carroll, and Brantly non-tendered, but not sure if they really have to given their current 40-man.

QUOTE (Baron @ Nov 25, 2015 -> 11:36 AM) Unfortunately I think they got worse at this position. Here's the thing. Who gives a s*** if he's a pro? He couldnt hit away from Detriot last year especially at the Cell. He's a part time catcher. It's not a bad signing or something to have a strong opinion on. This place is a f***ing joke anymore. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Good signing if he's healthy--good leadership skills...he's a pro. And yes, if he wants to keep wearing 13, they should let him.

He can show his own base running from the World Series of what not to do.

Today is this day. Probably nothing too earth shattering, but here is the transaction link: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/transactions/?tcid=...1&year=2015 Here's a good link to follow too... http://www.baseballamerica.com/majors/rule...ine-whos-added/

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Nov 18, 2015 -> 12:07 PM) Honestly would be shocked if Arrieta doesn't win it, I don't think it will be as close as people think. It just depends on the 30 individuals voting. Individually, it's a tough call between the two. But maybe 24 of the 30 individuals will pick Arrieta. We'll see. Also, I'll take Keuchel in the AL.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 18, 2015 -> 10:52 AM) I keep going back and forth between Kershaw & Arrieta. I bet Arrieta wins it because CUBS! and Greinke may take a few votes from Kershaw. Kershaw should get 30 3rd place votes. I'm going to guess Arrieta will get about 18 1st's and 12 2nd's. Arrieta is going to win because he and Greinke are too close to call, because of the dominant 2nd half, the no-hitter, and because he's never won a Cy before. When it's very close I think some voters will give it to the guy that hasn't won before. It would be cool if they both got 15 1sts and 15 2nds, because it's that close.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 03:47 PM) If he doesn't respond and just ignores, I presume that means he didn't accept, correct? Or is it assume you accepted unless you reject? I presume more than anything he just wants the sox to sweat it. That could very well be the case. Maybe short of accepting before the deadline, it's a default decline.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 03:45 PM) 15 mins... I'm getting worried I'm not worried until they say he accepts. Even then, I don't think I'd be pissed if he comes back for one more year. It can't get worse, and they could always have a chance to win with the guy, or trade him in July. We'll see...

Wonder why this is going down to the final 30 minutes. Seems like an easy decision for Samardzija to try to cash in on an NL team taking his innings.

Solo homer for Engel to lead off tonight's game. http://mlb.mlb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?si...gddwin_srrwin_1

https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/664490052261535744 A couple exhibitions in San Diego to end it. Good to see they're staying out west before playing in Oakland, and not going to an affiliate.

Renteria and Sparks are now officially added. https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/664185838964641792

God no on a 2-yr guaranteed deal. If he can get a two-year deal from somebody else, let him walk.

I hope he's gone, but it really comes down to whether they have any better options. If the answer is no, he'll probably be back at a reduced price.

Sox have purchased the contract of Zach Phillips.

Joe Buck

Albers, Beckham, Samardzija, and Soto filed for free agency. 40-man is at 34. Free agents can start signing with new teams on Saturday.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 10:31 AM) http://www.sbnation.com/lookit/2015/11/2/9...-speaking-oh-no Saw that live last night. I laughed. Frank suffers from verbal diarrhea. Overall, it was really hard to watch Fox coverage of the postseason. Joe Buck doesn't do it for me, but I'm kinda whatever on him. 3-man booths suck. Verducci seems like a douche. Harold Reynolds is terrible...so stupid. I read something about Harold that's true...he would be twice as good if he said half as much. And really...I stayed away from the pre and postgame as much as possible. Pete Rose and Arod? Fox sucks.
