Does anyone think Pedro Alvarez could be had in the offseason? He has struggled at 3B recently because he has basically forgotten how to throw and he can't get past it. I'd love Alvarez as the full-time DH.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 4, 2014 -> 05:06 PM) It's nice to see the Cubs have decided to give a s*** about their fans and just try to put one of the organization's better players on the field. I mean, it's not nice because f*** the Cubs, but I wouldn't mind as a fan of theirs that they made this decision without considering the Super 2 bulls***. Ehh. I bet he signs a below market extension. Soler is already signed. The only one that won't be doing that is Bryant with Boras as his agent.

LOL if the White Sox had Baez, everyone on the board would love him. This Cubs thread on the WhiteSox message board is a real treat on a bad day sometimes.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 10:20 PM) Adams 5.0 IP, 4H, 0R, 0BB, 9K 40 strikeouts and 2 walks in 27.2 IP. Ridic. I loved the Spencer Adams pick at the time and I love it still. Any chance he will get promoted to Great Falls soon?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 09:34 AM) Possible, yes, but extremely unlikely. All involved players would have to clear waivers, or be included as a PTBNL. Danks is likely to clear waivers, but we don't really know what other teams and players were involved in the deal. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-he...still-be-traded

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 08:05 PM) Anyone mention James Loney? That's who I always envision Ravelo as if he sticks/makes it to the bigs. Loney is a great Defensive 1B. I brought up Nick Johnson and somebody else brought up Casey Kotchman. Daric Barton played for a long time for Oakland without much power.

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 06:40 PM) Callis gives 5 extra prospects in addition to hit top 20, still no Ravelo: http://jimcallis.mlblogs.com/2014/08/01/bo...ts-nos-21-25-2/ Man, I've always liked Callis but it's such an awful list with no Ravelo or Rondon. Just bad.

Mark D. Robertson ‏@GFTrib_MRob 18h Two roster moves from the #Voyagers today, LHP Chris Freudenberg promoted to Kannapolis, RHP Luis Martinez promoted from AZL. #mtscores So Chris Freudenberg to Kanny Luis Martinez to Great Falls.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 05:50 PM) I'd be curious to see what details he has here? Teams? Player? Could this be revisited in the off season? Hahn was on 670 this morning and said that it was for a long targeted player. He also said that it "could" be revisited in the offseason. I'm going with Yasmani Grandal. He was in the lineup and warming up and then was scratched for no reason. Sox have been interested in the past.

Steve Gilbert ‏@SteveGilbertMLB 53s #Dbacks getting power-hitting catching prospect Peter O'Brien from #Yankees for Martin Prado.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 02:03 PM) Milone for Fuld.... De Aza couldn't be traded for him? Fuld is a better player than De Aza. Fuld has an bop of .370 and plays great defense.

Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 3m The #Pirates claim RHP Angel Sanchez from #Whitesox Open 40 man roster spot.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 04:39 PM) Yeah, Hahn's job is to figure out where the sweetspot lies. As for Lackey, he'll be a tough get I think...the Red Sox hold an option on him next year for the league minimum. Reports on twitter though that Lackey will definitely be moved because he asked to be traded. Only making $500,000 next year.

U-God @SBN_UGod · 2m The Yankees are potentially interested in Viciedo AND Danks? What's your game, Cashman?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 03:07 PM) Probably not much of a chance they'd make him a qualifying offer anyway. Masterson will be a true free agent without compensation attached now. He's a guy that the White Sox could realistically sign without giving up a draft pick.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 03:20 PM) If the Marlins want to send up this year's competitive Balance pick and a B prospect I imagine they'd get a nice amount of salary relief in return. Not sure why they'd do that but hey it's the Marlins. How about Danks and $$ for Competitive Balance Pick and Jacob Turner? I'd be ecstatic.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 02:34 PM) If the Yankess arent in play for Danks why do they keep calling? What would the holdup be, Rock? Prospect package or $$?

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 11:28 AM) Very good chance that Lackey will be part of Lester deal. Rosenthal clarified that he meant separate deals. It read funny the first time.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 11:04 AM) http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/07/top-...2015-draft.html Okay. I stand corrected. I didn't see this. I was actually going off of Tim Dierkes's original report from the day that Aiken didn't sign. MLB did something about it and rightfully so. Sorry guys.

When is Chris Sale pitching again?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 08:22 AM) It will be 11 due to the Astros incompetence. It is normally the top 10 that are protected. If a team does not make a qualifying offer, the free agent is not subject to a first round pick. This is not true. Why do people keep saying this? It's still the top 10 only. I've said this like 5 times on this site already. A couple years back, the Mets couldn't sign Bourn for the same reason. It's the top 10 picks even though the Astros have 2 of them.

Peter Gammons ‏@pgammo 1m SF, A';s, teams needing 2B sifting through Valbuena, Cabrera, Hill, Prado, Beckham...

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 11:36 PM) Only if we get a protected pick right? Yeah if they aren't in the top 10, I don't think they'll be signing a protected free agent. Just doesn't make any sense.
