QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 12, 2016 -> 01:20 PM) Cabrera or Rollins at 2. Hopefully Abreu and Frazier are 3-4 about 150-some times. I think Lawrie will definitely hit 2nd vs LHP.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 12, 2016 -> 01:42 PM) Bears sign Jerrell Freeman, 3 years This is a huge move. Such an upgrade. ILB is now a position of strength.

Chicago White Sox ‏@whitesox 14m14 minutes ago Rob Brantly has been claimed off waivers by the Mariners. 54 players remain in Major League camp, 40-man roster down to 39. 6 retweets 11 likes Seems like White Sox tried to sneak him to minor league camp. Claimed by Mariners.

I wasn't looking at twitter but I got a BleacherReport notification about the trade happening and freaked out. How are these corporations getting this s*** wrong? Just look for the check mark. ESPN put it on their air again too. Just so stupid.

Broncos are trading a late pick for Mark Sanchez

Bears are hosting DL Akiem Hicks, TE Jermaine Gresham, and ILB Jerell Freeman today. Freeman is almost 30 but could potentially give the Bears the best ILB tandem in the NFL if signed. He's a really good player. Very interesting.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 10, 2016 -> 11:43 AM) I'd rather bring back Jenkins than keep Washington. Washington has proven nothing since coming into the NFL. Jenkins at least provides good depth. I'd bring back Unrein as well. Washington is an excellent special teams player though. I'd much rather keep him than Jenkins.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 10:55 PM) What are we missing here? Does the rest of the league think he was overrated? That seems like a steal? On a sidenote, why the f*** are we backloading the deal? Why, when we have a bagillion bucks in cap space, wouldn't we front load the deal a bit more (I realize it poses some risk if a player stinks, but still, we have tons of cap space). It sets him up to have barely any guaranteed money in the last 2 years. I expect him to be good and play out the contract but most of that $12 million is in the first 2 years.

87-75

Trevathan signing is for 4 years $28 million. Nice.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 12:17 PM) Tim Spencer is the RB coach. Former Ohio State assistant. Coaching Eddie George from 1994-2003. Any info on Spencer, Rock? Tim Spencer was also the RB coach in Chicago under Lovie.

http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2016/03/08/lev...-has-been-busy/ Levine is still mentioning Jay Bruce. Says Cincinnati has been scouting Sox during spring training. Also said Hahn would still like a LHH.

Mario Williams is signing with the Dolphins.

Who gets DFA'd? I'll go with Kevan Smith.

QUOTE (ozzfest @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 05:08 PM) So whats the lineup going to be? Eaton Jackson Abreu Frazier Melky Laroche Lawrie Navarro Rollins Or does Jackson bat 7? Vs RHP 1. Eaton RF 2. Cabrera LF 3.

The White Sox eat John Danks' contract and trade for Astros OF Preston Tucker

Ryan Baker ‏@RyanBakerMedia 1m1 minute ago Chicago, IL Some credible sources are telling me Lovie Smith will be the next #Illini head football coach. @cbschicago Ryan Baker is usually solid.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 5, 2016 -> 02:13 PM) I'm not really sure about that hire, he doesn't have a wow factor for me. Probably won't get a wow factor at Illinois in March.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Mar 5, 2016 -> 01:05 PM) It makes me laugh every time somebody tries to defend a move the Illinois administration makes. Has any program ever willingly fired and hired a new coach in March? It's truly amazing all of the crazy things that this program has done in the last year or so. Beckman being fired a week before the season, Thomas being fired a few weeks before the end of the football season, Cubit being inexplicably retained for another interim year, and Cubit being inexplicably fired in March. I guess we'll see how it all plays out. I agree with the premise but Whitman was just hired. Him deciding to move on is fine. It sounds like he has a coach ready to take over. Rumors point to Leslie Frazier at this point.

I was at the Glazier Football Clinic in Oakbrook last night because I'm a HS coach. Cubit had a presentation last night. Probably completely blindsided. Good for Josh Whitman though. Cubit wasn't his guy and there's no reason to pretend like he was and waste another season.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Mar 5, 2016 -> 12:34 PM) Saw a tweet that Nightengale was on ESPN 1000 and thinks the Sox "have another move up their sleeve" in regards to the OF, but doubts it will be CarGo or Bruce. Yes that was my tweet. Nightengale was on and pretty confident that they'll be adding an OF. Said he thinks they have "another move up their sleeve". The hosts asked about CarGo and Bruce. Bob said Baltimore is the only team he's heard interested in Bruce. He also doesn't think it'll be Cargo to Sox either.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 04:24 PM) Levine is just a mouthpiece, period. I can't remember the last time he wrote about a rumor that actually came to fruition. I've noticed that when Levine writes about something, it's usually after another writer has written about it already. Levine broke the Melky signing but I'm pretty sure KW gave him the story. I believe he broke Fowler as well.

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 12:34 PM) I am sure this has been brought up multiple times but with Anderson going down for LAD, doesn't that make a Danks for Ethier swap even make more sense? No. They have a ton of pitchers, some of which are better than Danks. They have: Kershaw, Kazmir, Maeda, Ryu, Wood, McCarthy, Beachy, Bolsinger, and Yaisel Sierra.

QUOTE (shipps @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 12:14 PM) I think they said specifically that they are not going to acquire "big money" FA's. I think they are looking to get some of these bigger name guys at a moderate cost. They aren't going to be big spenders when it comes to making huge splashes on individual players. At least going by what Pace says. Bennett on a 1 year deal would be a nightmare. They want to move on. They'll either move him for a late pick or cut him.
