Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 1m1 minute ago Sources: Deal for new CBA is close, could happen tonight. Because of course.

Brian Bilek ‏@BrianBilek_ 5m5 minutes ago Source: Edwin Encarnacion to sign with #Astros tomorrow. Brian Bilek ‏@BrianBilek_ 20s20 seconds ago Since all my mentions are still #WhiteSox related: It seems this could affect a potential Sale trade with Houston.

Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 1m1 minute ago Sources: Progress being made in the labor talks. Still work to be done for a new deal, but hope is emerging on both sides.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 2m2 minutes ago One rival exec theorizes #Astros trying to load up on offense so they can trade a young hitter (Springer? Bregman?) for an elite starter. Hmmmmm.

Jerry Crasnick‏ @jcrasnick Just heard the #Astros are still a potential option for Edwin Encarnacion.

Bob Nightengale‏ @BNightengale The #Mariners acquire RHP Rob Whalen and RHP Max Povse from #Braves for OF Alex Jackson and player to be named later.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 28, 2016 -> 07:36 PM) If this has happened, a deal will get done or at least I would think it would. Nothing else is out there that I would see being worth the owners locking out the players and dealing with the PR that comes with it (especially following such a highly rated post-season). Yup. Way too much for both sides to lose to risk a lockout at this point.

And as noted a possibility in the article I linked. 3m Ken Rosenthal‏ @Ken_Rosenthal Sources: Owners have backed off the international draft as a requirement for a new collective-bargaining agreement.

Pretty good article summarizing the CBA situation. http://www.sbnation.com/2016/11/28/1376401...ba-negotiations

Bulls***. They'll get it done or get an extension. Winter meetings are going to happen.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 21, 2016 -> 11:18 PM) It's safe to assume they're not as sensitive on issues like sexual assault. Why is it safe to assume this? It's kind of sickening that you are trying to downplay this as not a serious issue.

I wonder if this is why we got the Nationals tweet via Nightengale.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 07:56 PM) Still want Schwarber plus others for Sale.... Is this a hint?

QUOTE (gosoxtim8 @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 07:52 PM) didn't somebody just ozzie guiien son was talking sox and dodger deal as well? Yup.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 07:44 PM) He followed up by saying he heard this fro 2 separate sources who are not connected. So maybe this has some legs. I would interested to know if they BOTH just told him at the same time, or if he heard it from one source, and then asked another source to confirm before tweeting it. whitesoxdave ‏@barstoolWSD 7m7 minutes ago Heard it from two separate sources today from two separate organizations - not sure how advanced talks are at this time whitesoxdave ‏@barstoolWSD 4m4 minutes ago I wouldn't have tweeted this had the second source not preemptively reached out to me. Also please stop asking if Seager would be involved
