Please take a shot at Fabian if he is there! Take HS pitching after that.

I’m on the Fabian bandwagon. Hope he falls and the White Sox select him. Still young...

Need some RHP relief help. Marshall, Foster, and Heuer (least of three) have struggled.

Did Steve Stone say on the Score today that Engel could be back tonight?

Leury playing CF gives me Mackowiak flashbacks.

I would crap myself if Sox signed Cruz and Wainright will all the other moves. Just putting that out there. Let’s not be down.

Agreed. Sign Cruz and Richards. Amen!

I believe, in Hahn's mind, Kelley is untouchable as well. They just went overslot on him for $3 million. Further, that proposed trade is better than what the Padres had to give up for some of their recent acquisitions..

I know you have to give up value to get value, but I do not want them to give up Kelley. He's going to be a beast, give up quantity over quality like the Padres................

Any concern that Vera has not signed yet?

Please don’t trade Kelley.

I could not agree more with this statement. Some of been critical of my comments, which is fun and fair, for articulating this point, not as succinctly. I also must admit that I am an addict, I would not want to know how many times I have visited this thread over the last month!! Starting for some news...............

Interesting, but being passive does not seem to be the way to go here when an offer has been out there a while but we will see. No need to debate it but we could replace Beane with other names.

I hear you but in negotiations, one looks week if a proposal is floated with no timetable for response. At some point his interest in Hahn’s offer has to be commented on. Billy Beane would never let this happen. But, we live in glass houses on this because they are not bound to transparency AND it’s not like hundreds of other free agents are signing right now that leaves us without alternatives. Lots of babble from my end, just want some moves to break the January monotony.

Let’s hope. Dare to dream. Don’t be held hostage.

Hahn and Sox need to push issue and not get used by Hendriks for two months. I would love to have him but don’t be a pawn. Move on or give an ultimatum.

I get the Colome love, but he made $10 million last year. I would be surprised if Colome gets a deal for $10 million + this year.

Agreed. Sign Richards and save assets.

Would have loved Snell, but now it's up to the Sox to make the next move to take control of the AL. Any other Rays players we would want?

Good post. Maybe I should have said that the precedent is there to get young players extensions early if they perform to entice them to sign now.

I would bet that the Sox have quietly discussed an expedient effort toward a long term extension like with some of the others.

Merry Christmas! #NeverCubs

I’m confident the Hahn signals are a smoke screen. More moves will come.

The BA prospect chat was a complete yawner.

Hendricks and Quintana would be amazing. Let's be positive team!! Go Sox!! Finish these deals Sox!
