Rumors are that Boston doesn't want to move Moncada or Benintendi. Hahn probably hung up on them if that's the case.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 10:17 PM) If we can get Benintendi for Q, I'll be estatic. He better be the minimum that they get. Q is 6th in fWAR in baseball for pitchers since 2013. He's awesome and locked up for 4 seasons. He costs Benintendi +

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 09:46 PM) Well, except for the fact that they suck ass with them...yes, they need to hit big if they do move them, but they aren't exactly lighting the world on fire with them. Not sure what is so hard to understand about that. He was advocating that they take less and compromise. f*** that.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 04:40 PM) Probably. But if they really wanted to get rid of him they would have to compromise which I must say sounds better than keeping both going into the offseason. Hahn trying to keep his job trading for other various bandaids. This is a really bad post. There is no compromise. THey need a franchise altering haul for Sale and Quintana or it's not worth trading them. Not really a debate. Not sure what is so hard to understand about it either.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 05:56 PM) Reasonable looking prospect too. If Gonzalez and Shields are still here Tuesday we riot. There's no reason to trade Gonzalez unless they get something of value

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 04:43 PM) Easy answer, he doesn't. Horrible job as a GM, as both big league team and farm system suck. His last 3 drafts have been better than pretty much any draft under Kenny Williams from like 2003-2009 though.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:36 PM) Dodgers looking at Archer today. They obviously want a top shelf pitcher. Work out a deal, please. Sox scouts are apparently at that game. Can't figure out why though. Keuchel getting rocked today already. Another team who could use a pitcher. The Dodgers don't have enough positional talent to acquire Sale.

I'm sure the Sox think he has the ability to possibly start in CF. Duke didn't have much value. This is fine.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 03:08 PM) What about 50 of your closest relatives and friends? IMO many middle class people are walking on eggshells trying to stay afloat. I got paid under Obama.

I went to camp today. Kevin White is a freakshow. Looks as advertised. Tweets from camp in my twitter timeline: @JamesFox917 if interested.

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:39 AM) To summarize the Sox trade deadline talks: There isn't one team that wants any player we have other than Sale and Quintana, and there are no serious talks involving either one of them. Get ready for a slow slog until the end of another disappointing season. This is just flat out not true.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:26 AM) Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 3m3 minutes ago The Dodgers, like Boston, has the prospect firepower to get a Chris Sale deal completed -- but they would need to ante up to make it happen. Who are the position players? Bellinger and Verdugo? I'll pass on that. I'd love Urias but trading Sale for a package centered around pitching doesn't make sense

QUOTE (Two-Gun Pete @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:30 AM) I'm dying to hear how anyone can justify a strikeout machine like Micker Adolfo being worth anything at all at this point, let alone a top 10 prospect for an MLB organization. Yes, "he's young." But he's striking out to a 37% clip to the October, 2016 class of Jewel grocery baggers in Single A. He's completely made of glass. And the dumbest pile of short-bus types in this front office once again went for batting practice power in this so-called "prospect" when they wasted good money on him. That said, him being stupidly placed in Single A, where he is as out of his depth as I would be in a doctoral-lever astrophysics class is clearly not helping him. It isn't helping his team mates. And it isn't helping this organization. So at least half of my irritation at his utter failure should be directed @ the front office, I suppose. Don't say short bus types. Stop being an asshole.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 08:42 PM) Rea left his start today with an injury, maybe the Marlins come crawling back on Gonzalez. They have literally no prospects that are even worth trading Gonzalez for.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 02:00 PM) I really don't see a point to moving DRob if they are planning on going for it again next year which they are if they aren't moving Sale or Q Jones is better than him though. They have a replacement in house and can use the savings on something else. Burdi will be in back end at some point as well.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ May 26, 2016 -> 07:16 PM) They didn't try very hard, considering some of the stiffs on the 40 man. Cooper didn't want a thing to do with Guerra....but he kept Noesi around for a year and is always willing to pitch Scott Carroll This org. can't even properly evaluate its own players. s*** like this happens. They lost this guy. They also signed Quintana and Miguel Gonzalez for nothing.

QUOTE (daggins @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 02:43 PM) They want to win and unlike the Sox they have the resources to do so. 2 years of control for a stud reliever that throws 70 innings a year or 6 years of control of a young #1 starter? It's decision for me. I don't understand hanging on to Miller

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 05:15 PM) What is the deal with Shields? Can he opt out next off season? If so, then Sox can offer him a 1 year QO at approx. $16-17 Mill? Which, if taken by him, the Sox will be on the hook for the entire amount and Pads are off same hook? Then, if some team signs him, Sox get draft pick? No. He can opt-out this offseason and the Sox get nothing in return. I'm not sure anyone will pay him more than the 2 years $44 million he's owed though.

I will still be pretty surprised if the Sox move Sale or Quintana. I just don't think that teams will pony up what it will take in return.

Obama is one of the greatest orators of our time. He is a considerate, decent human and I will miss him when he's gone. People have absolutely taken him for granted. He should've dropped the f***ing mic tonight. He was excellent..
