QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 29, 2014 -> 10:00 PM) The potential 3-4-5 of Rizzo, Bryant and Soler is scary. You add Castro, Russell and Baez to that....uh oh Yup. Going to be some fun Chicago baseball to watch next season. I already find myself flipping back and forth to catch some of Baez/Soler at bats.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 02:00 AM) I don't want us signing old players coming off career years (like Victor Martinez). Couldn't agree more. I'm taking this with a huge grain of salt considering it's a Levine report.

Awesome! Long overdue. I can finally unmute the TV for some broadcasts. Hopefully him retiring is not too far off. This makes me so happy.

Cubs. Easily.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 26, 2014 -> 07:46 PM) 2-2 with HR for Anderson He's scorching hot. Excite.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 07:26 PM) How do you guys have a handle on next year's draft already? We're talking 10 months from now. I wouldn't call it a handle. Just an awareness of some of the likely top guys. Everything is clearly subject to change this early, but as a prospect guy this is the stuff I'm interested in. I saw both Mateulla and Kirby pitch a few times last season and was impressed by both.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 06:54 PM) I prefer Matuella. I'm with you. Also really like Nathan Kirby.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 19, 2014 -> 06:41 PM) I would agree with that and to that matter, I don't really like the idea of bringing him up to the majors this year. Nor do I. I'm wondering if it was a handshake agreement during negotiations. If so, I sure hope they delay his call-up next season to account for this year. I'm not prepared to lose an extra year of team control for a possible TOR pitcher who has Boras as an agent. I'd like to assume Hahn is more shrewd than that.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 11:46 PM) Yea, but Sale wasn't represented by Boras. There will be no extension. Wasting the precious service time with bullpen pitching or in another Ventura lost September, is foolishness. This. No reason whatsoever to have him in the bigs this season.

Stop hurting yourself Grindy McGrinderson.

His agent is Scott Boras. You can absolutely bet that Rick is going to do everything he can to maximize Rodon's team control. It makes no sense whatsoever to call him up this year. Dumb thread.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 10:05 PM) Spencer Adams is 4.0 IP, 2H, 0R, 0BB, 7K. I know it's early but I so love that draft pick.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 10:18 AM) Yup, I also think it was Grandal, with Viciedo likely the player we would have shipped out. Even if we had to include a decent prospect, that's a deal I make 10 out of 10 times. Yep. Still one of my favorite players in that draft class. I really hope Hahn can acquire him somehow.

Posting what I posted in the trade deadline thread regarding this. Any guesses? I wonder if this is the reason Yasmani Grandal was pulled on Thursday and nothing came of it.

Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 16s Rick Hahn said #WhiteSox were working on 3-team deal to get someone they've long targeted on Thurs. No other details provided. Any guesses? I wonder if this is the reason Yasmani Grandal was pulled on Thursday and nothing came of it.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 09:15 AM) The Red Sox get draft compensation which is pretty big Indeed. That is the part I do like.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 09:11 AM) That is an INSANE haul for Lester I like Oakland's side much more on this. Not super high on Cespedes for 1 year.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 08:31 AM) Not entirely true. Teams like SF have an interest in Beckham. Any other balls in the air? Dunn? Alexei? Appreciated.

We won't, but the White Sox will.

QUOTE (woods of ypres @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 09:16 PM) I wonder what a realistic return from MIA could be. Considering the Marlins don't spend money, I would hazard a guess that the Sox would be picking up money and getting a better return. That is if this rumor isn't bulls***.

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 14s As I just reported on @FOXSports1, Marlins and White Sox have discussed a possible John Danks trade. #MLBWhipAround

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 07:30 PM) With Rienzo warming up, it makes it very unlikely Danks is traded IMO. That's silly. They can call up any slop to make a spot start tomorrow.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 12:34 AM) Law watched the Dash play and commented on 2 Sox prospects. Says Hawkins' hit tool is still awful, despite improved stats (he whiffed all 3 AB and couldn't lay off BBs in the dirt - sounds familiar in these parts). Says Rodon's range is "unbelievable" with a plus arm and he thinks he'll be able to hit well enough, albeit with no power. http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/keith-law/...e-sox-prospects
