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

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 04:07 PM) Do you enjoy watching the White Sox lose? Trading Alexei makes sense in one scenario - we get a ML ready SS, plus a major league ready SP with mid-rotation upside and a B level prospect or two. You only trade Alexei if you cannot say no. Without Alexei, next year looks much more grim - with him, and a few off-season acquisitions, this team is a contender. Isn't that what we're all here for? I don't see the White Sox contending next year, so perfectly reasonable to sell high on an aging asset who has likely peaked.

I'd hope Alexei is being dangled in the Yankees Danks talks. He would slot just fine in their gaping 2B hole.

If there is indeed a PM out I would be most appreciative if someone would forward it to me.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 06:15 AM) As of right now the Sox are the 11th pick. Not that I support losing in any way, but the Sox can truly benefit from being in that bottom 10. Another first round pick AND some decent FA signings and we will be in much better shape next season. I absolutely support losing in this situation.

RE: Danish. Josh Norris ‏@jnorris427 5m @stoltz_baseball 87-92 Josh Norris ‏@jnorris427 4m @stoltz_baseball 87-90 last inning, but the changeups and slider were unreal.

Josh Norris ‏@jnorris427 2m @johnmanuelba You're missing a show. Danish is FILTHY Josh Norris ‏@jnorris427 3m Tyler Danish has oh my god good stuff tonight. Hellacious movement on everything. #WhiteSox

Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 5m Hasn't been much chatter about #WhiteSox leading up to deadline. Not many scouts here. One said: "It feels like I'm the only one here."

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 28, 2014 -> 06:15 PM) He is not listed as a top 20 of updated Yankee prospects on MLB.com He's likely exhausted his rookie eligibility. Thus not a prospect.

From BA's hot sheet chat: Can't say I disagree really.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 27, 2014 -> 06:32 PM) Talk about a bounce back season. What a year he is having. Hope to see him replace a traded Alexei in the immediate future.

I really hope Alexei is being discussed. Pretty much the only player with decent value they would move.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 26, 2014 -> 11:48 AM) I believe I'm on the list, but if not sign me up for Rock's Rumors. Seconded. Very much appreciated.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 26, 2014 -> 10:56 AM) s***, that's a nice haul for Boston, considering Peavy's poorness. Escobar had a terrific 2012 and 2013 and Hembree should be a really nice reliever. Indeed. It really seems like a seller's market. I hope Hahn has something in the works with Danks/Alexei at this point.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 25, 2014 -> 08:22 PM) MLBTR: Cardinals Working on Deal with Pierzynski Hooray! Anywhere but Chicago!

QUOTE (PolishPrince34 @ Jul 19, 2014 -> 07:24 AM) Even though the Angels system blows that is a nice haul they got for Street. I'm fans of Lindsey, Alvarez, and Rodon. Shocked they gave up that much plus more Pretty nice haul for a reliever.

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 4m #astros made 3 offers friday, the 2nd w/30 mins to go, the 3rd, at $5M, w/5 mins. aiken side: no counters. he just said no

Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan 6m Scary Astros possibility: If Nix wins grievance to pay agreed-upon $1.5M, Houston 17% over bonus pool, would forfeit next two 1st-rd picks.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 04:47 PM) Not sure how that works (I'm guessing you're correct), but I don't mind either way having a protected or unprotected 1st round pick. Odds are very good that the Sox will not sign someone requiring draft pick compensation next year anyways, and if they do, I can pretty single handedly assure you that we as fans won't give a rip because we will either love or hate the signing itself. Top 11 will indeed be protected because of this.
