Just a thought... Maybe the A's and Sox have a deal in place already, but they're trying to get the Braves or other teams involved in a bigger trade. And if they can't get it done, they'll just deal with each other and move on. Sounds like the A's and Braves are talking Upton and Gattis too, without Samardzija, so who the hell knows anymore.

I'll give Bloomington guy his respect and see what happens before Monday. To me, getting Smarje for one year, but not giving up the farm is right up their alley. Anderson isn't going anywhere unless it's a much bigger deal.

Merkin is talking, so there's that.... http://m.athletics.mlb.com/news/article/10...tar-on-the-move I've officially crossed over to 'Call me when it's done Land'.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 11:44 AM) If this is what people are talking about.......it doesnt look like a pal of Tim Anderson's. His prior tweets look like he's some Sox fan hoping for a trade soon. j @jimturano22 · 52m 52 minutes ago @TimAnderson7 sad. Best of luck in Oakland bud This is the downside of Twitter. Geeks--please stop bothering the players.

QUOTE (Jake @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 11:37 AM) Samardzija WAR by year: 0.5 -0.4 -0.5 0.6 2.8 2.6 4.1 This would be like trading for Gavin Floyd in 2010/11, except Floyd was better I know you love WAR, but start valuing 33 starts and 215 innings too. It helps the bullpen, and you know, the team.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 10:53 AM) If he's involved, I better see Samardzija and Justin Upton in a Sox uniform..... Agreed! They say a watched pot doesn't boil, so....

What I like about Bloomington guy is that he doesn't say anything until he "knows" it, and then he doesn't fan the fire with other stuff. Still optimistic something happens.

I think Noesi is locked in to the back of the rotation. He made his starts, and he has room to improve. Getting a full spring training with Cooper should be a good thing. Sale, Samardzija, Quintana, Noesi, Bassitt would be fine if they're able to move Danks and improve the pen.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 11:43 PM) Hopefully Anderson goes nowhere. I would be fine if Danish is main guy going to Oakland. I could see Beane liking Semien. I don't think Anderson would be involved for a rent-a-player. I actually don't think Danish would be either. Semien, sure. Maybe a package of Semien or Sanchez, a lower level guy like Michalczewski, and a decent but not great, pitching prospect like Beck.

When there are rumors of a 3-way trade, you certainly can't rule the White Sox out.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 12:35 PM) The thing is, these guys they signed are in the same boat, or maybe in one leaking more water. Losing Jordan Danks isn't going to matter, but neither is Shuck or Campana. They suck just as much. I agree, but that's just the way it is. Bench players and run of the mill bullpen arms bounce around. Danks hasn't bounced yet, but it's probably mostly because his name is Danks.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 12:28 PM) I believe Danks has an option left, so he can be sent to AAA if he does not win the 4th OF job. He could, but at this point it might be that time to move on for everyone involved. 28. Not that good. 5 years in Charlotte. If he's going to be a journeyman, it's about that time to move along.

Probably a minor league deal with a spring training invite. It's in the minor league section.

Belisario has opted for free agency. He gawn...

10 days until they vote. This man belongs in the Hall. https://twitter.com/SoxNerd/status/538699012443234304

Sox have signed Tony Campana. https://twitter.com/Zach_Isler/status/538358078618730496 http://instagram.com/p/v8sXWMs68W/

Cricket player Phillip Hughes, age 25. Hit in the head playing a few days ago in Australia. Terrible.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Nov 26, 2014 -> 08:17 PM) I wouldn't mind seeing BelisaRio back as a spring training invite, he was pitching a role he wasn't used to out of the bullpen and he had a lot of bad luck. Nah, he'd just be late anyway.

Hopefully he still has to get non-tendered next week. Not sure if that's how it works now that he's off the 40-man. Anyway, be on your way.

December 10- Alexei to the Dodgers. Just wait.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 26, 2014 -> 09:34 AM) And if he gave 133 PA's like he did last year? Or the .303 OBP he put up during that stint last year? Victorino "if healthy" would be a great #2 hitter. Season ending back surgery. That's a no.

Definitely rooting for him to stay in the organization and get a ST invite.
