QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 01:53 PM) Wait, what? Red Sox are paying all of the money left on Moncada's deal. $31.5 mil.

Wow. Levine saying Red Sox are paying everything left on Moncada's deal. $31.2 mil https://twitter.com/MLBBruceLevine/status/806223520543965185

Basabe and Diaz are the other two names according to Nightengale.

FWIW JJ Cooper says Moncada could play CF

Trade Quintana to Nats now and get Giolito

I have massive mixed emotions, but I am very, very happy about Moncada. Please tell me Devers to.

RED SOX GET HIM. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/806199479120654336

THIS IS EXCITING

Rosenthal on MLB network saying Red Sox are really in on Sale and have built a lot of momentum! HERE WE GO.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 10:08 AM) I don't necessarily disagree with you, but why? I see it like this. The Sox clearly have trouble developing position players and don't have much of a problem developing pitchers. Robles is good but he's raw and a few years away and while Giolito is nice, the org is almost barren in any MLB ready position player prospects. You could use any of the other guys to trade and get a top 100 pitching prospect that the org wouldn't have trouble developing into an MLB pitcher, you can't say the same about good position prospects.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 09:36 AM) This. This I could get behind. I'd like Devers to be included as well but I'd still prefer this over Washington's offer even without him. This. Add Devers and I'm in.

I don't think this is official. Gammons tweeted that a GM thinks Hill has a deal with the Dodgers not that he for sure had one.

FWIW Todd has been vocal today about the Sox direction. He was on Casey Stern'a show today saying he thinks the Sox are close to intending and you can't trade a guy like Sale. He also has retweeted someone saying the Sox need to keep and extend Frazier.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 04:49 PM) Seems like nothing will get done until the Winter Meeting Not sure about that. Seems teams want to get stuff settled before the new CBA.

I'm firmly in the rebuild camp, specifically because of the market conditions. They have a real opportunity to get MLB ready players into the system/roster and potentially get back into contention fairly quickly with sustained success. Not trading away some of these guys with the way the market looks on paper will be a massive missed opportunity. I don't want to hear "lets retool and if things dont work out theres always July!" That comes up every year and every offseason we're back at this discussion. I just don't see a way for this team to compete with the FAs on the market and the fact that the Sox have nothing to trade any other team to improve. Cespedes/Fowler does not put you over the top.

Buried in Heyman's notes from today is the Sox have offered an extension to Cooper. http://www.todaysknuckleball.com/inside-ba...b-playoff-teams

Well at least WriteSox is making this entertaining.

https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/770810856904929280 The #WhiteSox were one of teams who put waiver claim on #Dodgers Puig,but didn't get him,meaning NL club or lower-ranking AL club won claim

Nightengale says Sox did put a claim on him but didn't get him.

Frazier has the flu.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 01:29 AM) Well damn, sold out already. These are going to sell out quickly. There's a White Sox pre-sale that starts in 15 min. General sales start Friday at 10.

The Rangers weren't that good of a trade partner for Sale before Fielder went down and now they'll need Gallo to replace him.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 04:10 PM) If anyone listening can let us know that would be great. Basically that Sale's trade value hasn't slipped at all and the Sox don't have any motivation to move either him or Quintana unless they get a huge package.
