QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 02:59 PM) I do not like Rick Hahn. I feel sorry for Rick Hahn. He inherited this crap.

That captain question was in jest, I believe.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 02:46 PM) It would be very, very dumb for us to just let him go to save money. He's a good player that will have value at the next deadline if we're not doing well next year I don't think it would be dumb at all. If some team wants to take on his 12.5 mil, the Sox can lose games with or without him.

Pretty obvious teams aren't giving up anything for Rios. Hopefully a team will just claim him in August and they can get the payroll cleared. But even then, I'll believe it when I see it.

Hayes: Alex Rios seated at a table in #WhiteSox clubhouse. Looks pretty calm with deadline 24 minutes away.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 02:24 PM) My favorite part about Rios is that he really brings out the mouth-breather in fans. I can only imagine this must be what it's like to be a Bears fan. If you don't get what you want. Hold on to him and trade him next deadline when he will have more value. Yeah, that'll happen.

On Rios...just get this bum out of town. If a team will take him in any form, just do it.

It would be sad if Konerko's last game with the Sox is the 100th loss of the season. I hope he gets traded to a team that could win, or if he wanted to take an early exit and retire, I wouldn't have a problem with it. He deserves better than to be on team like this.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 11:07 AM) Why would we trade Beckham? He's finally showing something offensively. Selling high, and the Sox are starting to produce some middle infielders--Micah Johnson and Marcus Semien are getting closer to legit prospects. And Carlos Sanchez is still in the picture, but needs another year.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 11:04 AM) Royals still looking at Rios and Beckham according to Knobler. I want a "holy s***" moment today. That would qualify.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 10:52 AM) I think some of you guys might be undervaluing the SS, Rondon. From what I've read, he's an elite defender. If that's the case, he doesn't need to hit a ton to play MLB baseball. Eh, that would be like getting overly excited about a guy that has played 39 games at Kannapolis. He could be ok, but let's see where he is a year from now. The three Boston guys are all lottery tickets. Some upside, but nobody will be surprised if they don't even get to AAA someday.

Man, the experts really have differing opinions on Garcia. I just hope the plate discipline improves. If that happens, he's got star potential.

I guess Rondon is ok with the trade. Already updated his twitter background. https://twitter.com/CleuluisRondon

Rick Hahn sound on 670 in a minute.

Montas looks like a big boy. https://twitter.com/fmpiedra71

Garcia, and a few lottery tix for Peavy. Ok, I'm good with that. Let's see what tomorrow brings.

JB Wendelken and Francellis Montas of Greenville in the deal

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:52 PM) Makes you wonder about Mitchell, Walker, Thompson and Hawkins' future if they're trading for outfielders like Jacobs and Garcia. I think we know which way that's heading.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:44 PM) Garcia's upside = Alex Rios? How about Rios, but hustles?

Garcia at Comerica this weekend would be fun.

Brayan Villareal involved?

Surprised somebody hasn't pinned down the whole trade yet. C'mon man! I need sleep!

Remember the rumor was the Sox wanted pitching in any deal. That's what I'm expecting.

I hope he turns out great for us. Pretty bold move for Hahn.
