QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 01:54 PM) "Athletics trade Samardzija to White Sox." "Pitcher Michael Ynoa also traded to Cubs." Lol SportsCenter. If it isn't about football, they get confused.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 01:33 PM) If he is in the pen for the whole year, that won't happen, at least not effective innings. That's my point.

Bottom line--I don't care what they do with Rodon next year as long as he's ready to go 200 innings in 2016.

So much can happen over the next 4-5 months. I'd be surprised if he's in the opening day bullpen. He needs innings.

Eaton on the Score. Legitimately pumped. These guys are going to show up to Glendale ready to win a championship, and that's exciting.

2013 White Sox had 47 players. 15 remain. Viciedo, Ramirez, Flowers, Gillaspie, Sale, Quintana, Jones, Danks, Danks, Rienzo, Garcia, Garcia, Petricka, Webb, E Johnson Well done, Hahn and Co.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 11:35 AM) Such a White Sox minor leaguer to get. Sounds like a project, but hey, it's something.

Ravelo being included makes me think the Sox will get back a minor league pitcher that has a legit chance.

Maybe Phegley goes in this.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 11:19 AM) Crossing fingers for Reddick. If Reddick was coming to the Sox, we'd know it already. Guarantee this will be meh.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 11:18 AM) what the f*** is going on? Slusser is saying we'll hear it all in the next 20-30 minutes.

Should hear the full trade details this hour.

I'd guess it's nothing to get excited about. Probably just a low level guy to cushion the blow in case Samardzija leaves after one year.

Still wouldn't be surprised if an Alexei trade to the Dodgers is coming.

It would be nice to get Luke Gregerson on a literal Hometown Discount.

Surkamp, Guerra, Webb, Duke, Petricka, Putnam, Robertson

In my opinion, the best course of action with Rodon is to assume he's not in the 2015 plan. Start him in the minors and make him force a decision if it comes to it. If Noesi is on the team in March, he has a spot in the rotation. Probably the 5th.

On with Kap and Haugh now. 87.7. http://thegamechicago.com/

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 08:50 AM) Levine said it's going to be a minor league pitcher going as the third guy. Seemed like he just found out on the air, but won't say a name. He doesn't know anything.

Bassitt's fine. Decent arm, but not going to complain. Third guy? I'll go Andre Wheeler since nobody has said him.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:33 AM) @markasaxon: One of the prospects A's got for Jeff Samardzija is Trayce Thompson, younger brother of Klay Thompson, son of ESPNLA's own Mychal Thompson He could just be piggybacking the ESPN tweet. And more than likely is.
