QUOTE (peavy44 @ Nov 18, 2014 -> 08:55 PM) Mets called to did a deal get done no unless RH is blow away no deal will be done. Wat.

Badler.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 29, 2014 -> 07:03 PM) I know I'd be excited if the White Sox hired him. Yep. Another nice move for the Cubs.

Congrats to the Royals. Awesome run thus far and has been incredibly fun to watch. Pulling for them in the World Series. Playoff baseball is so great.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 2, 2014 -> 05:39 PM) https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/506932754811191296 Fantastic. Hold him off a bit next year too. Makes no sense at all to lose a year of team control for a potential TOR starter who has Boras as an agent.

He's joking.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 07:35 PM) I think it's very likely. Who else would be getting dealt that would result in Wilkins getting called up? Its likely just notice for a Sept 1st call-up. Doesn't have to be trade related.

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.
