Chicago White Sox

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 11:09 PM) The problem with this is it's basically two relievers (Montas hasn't proven he can be an effective starter and go 7+ innings consistently) and a rental. Maybe the Dodgers would bite on it, but they'll hold out for Quintana. Obviously, we are not in a position at present time to deal both Q and Shark, that would end our playoff run before it even gets started. Or they might counter, it will take Shark, Anderson and Montas for Puig. How many minor league pitching prospects have proven they can go 7+ innings consistently at the major league level? Way too early to write him off as a reliever. He's a legit top 100 prospect. On top of that, they're getting one of the best rental starters available and a very solid setup man with team control left. If the Dodgers have really soured on Puig and believe they have the OF depth to replace him immediately, that's a trade that can help them now plus provide some long-term upside.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 10:54 PM) Oh if we could package Shark for Puig I'd love it. Issue is Puig is cost controlled. Shark is a rental. Doesn't match up. I'd offer a package of Shark, Putnam, & Montas for Puig. You hope that Puig, Erik Johnson, & Nate Jones in aggragate is an upgrade over Avi, Shark, & Putnam. If not, still sets you up nicely for the next few years.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 10:45 PM) It's me connecting the dots. I know for a fact KW is itching. On rundown today Phil Rogers mentioned COL and CWS as a match for maybe Tulo or CarGo and threw out Tim andersons name. Now all the Q talk is coming out after we won. Trading Tim Anderson for CarGo would be a horrific move. I'd do Avi or some lesser prospects if the Rockies ate a little bit of salary, but no way in hell am I trading my #1 prospect for him. As for Tulo, he's got $98M left in guaranteed money after this season, is over 30, & never is healthy. He's way too risky of an acquisition for us, especially if he's going to cost a s***load of talent (Anderson being just one of many pieces).

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 10:40 PM) It was ridiculous for people to deem them as failures less than halfway into the first year of either deal. Cough Balta cough.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 10:32 PM) @philgrogers: With Quintana out of picture, 2016 White Sox rotation would have Sale, Rodon, Danks & 2 from Fulmer/Johnson/Drabek/Beck/Montas/Danish mix. That sounds horrible. If you trade Q, you better resign Shark or sign a free agent in the offseason.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 10:34 PM) My ideal situation is trading Q and M. Johnson for Puig, and then extending Samardzija Quintana > Puig right now IMO, although it's really close. Definitely don't think we'd have to give Micah on top of Q.

What a f***ing game!!

Bullpen!!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 10:05 PM) DeAza was a tough out there. Why no change ups? We in big trouble, folks. Get the f*** out this thread you f***ing jinx.

This is f***ing insanity.

For the love of god get this f*** out!?

Holy f***, bad call right there.

Ok, stop f***ing around boys, let's get this last out and call it a night.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 09:52 PM) Puig is available now it looks like Where you seeing this?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 09:47 PM) I'd rather have Jay Bruce over CarGo So would I, but he will also cost a lot more in terms of talent.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 09:41 PM) Are we seriously going to take on that ungodly contract? Is Manny Ramirez still available? A CarGo deal would have KW's fingerprints all over it. It would also force the White Sox to admit Garcia's not living up to his earlier promise. Two years & $37M is ungodly? Obviously it's no steal financially, but that might help limit the cost in terms of prospects.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 09:40 PM) On Twitter not on here Oh gotcha.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 09:38 PM) Melky and Sanchez are so hot it's amazing. If Sox can hold on and win, that would be nice. Greg, seriously man, can you get out of this thread please? You are like the ultimate f***ing jinx bro.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 09:36 PM) All the salty people replying to that last tweet about Shark is hilarious. Not sure what you mean by this.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 09:36 PM) If you get CarGo, then Avi's probably in the deal Honestly, I'd probably be ok with that if we didn't have to give up anything else or significance.

Nice play Carlos!! Let's get an insurance run here boys!

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 09:31 PM) Bob Nightengale@BNightengale 9:31 PM The Chicago #Whitesox plan to see how they fare vs #Redsox this series before determining Samardzija's fate. If they keep Shark, they almost have to get a bat. f***, maybe CarGo makes some sense for RF, with anLaRoche/Avi platoon at DH.

Who comes out for the 8th?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 09:24 PM) Also, this is the busiest I've seen a game thread since Opening Day. Even busier than the Cubs series. I guess that's what happens around the deadline. I think everyone feels we're at the point where it's "win out or sell".

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 09:22 PM) Odd, his defense has been so good prior to tonight. Thanks. He made an error and I think it shook him up a little bit. He'll be fine, just needs to get through tonight.
