Bruce Levine ‏@MLBBruceLevine 17m White Sox determined to get catcher at these meetings .

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 07:19 PM) So people really think Santiago should have netted more than an mlb starting cfer and lead off man that is cost controlled for many years? Jeez. I think it's a suitable return. Some Soxtalk members severely overrate Hector.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 01:31 PM) Vet MI, and an OF bat was always the course. Dealing SP to acquire was definitely something that was going to happen. I dont see them modifying the pen much if at all. Nothing on C or 3B?

I really hope Davidson is involved somehow as well. I'm okay with no Kendrick.

Me likey.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 05:01 PM) Anyone getting the assumption that if Sox do somehow deal Danks that Hahn will go hard after Tanaka? Nope. Not even a little bit.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 02:18 PM) Not. Gonna. Happen. Aww. I like trade rumors.

Please continue Sale talk in the Sale trade thread.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 09:32 AM) Jesus Christ let's put this to rest, Sale doesn't need to go anywhere but out to the mound on Opening Day wearing a Sox uniform. There will be no rest so long as there are rumors.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 09:31 AM) They actually have prospects at positions that make the most sense, but this can't be what Hahn would consider to be a fair trade. He has to feel he won by a wide margin. The Dbacks are one of the few teams I feel could meet a Sale asking price.

Garfien: When Rick Hahn arrives here at MLB Winter Meetings, it sounds like GMs will want to talk with him about Chris Sale.

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 07:03 AM) Oh look Jon Morosi pushing another Chris Sale trade rumor article http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/chicago...santiago-120813 Rosenthal: Asked GM about Sale this morning. Said, "Think teams are pushing Chicago to consider." @jonmorosi said #WhiteSox will listen.

Stop-gappish trade chip signing?

David Vassegh ‏@THEREAL_DV 9m The White Sox are trying to sign Juan Uribe. #dodgers #whitesox Details

QUOTE (scs787 @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 09:34 PM) I would rather work out some kind of 3 way deal with the Dodgers to get Joc Pederson in here in any kind of Sale deal. A left handed middle of the lineup bat that can hang in CF? Sign me up. Putting my GM cap on.... Sox Get Pederson-Julio Urias-Matt MaGill-Paco Rodriguez-Matt Davidson Dbacks get- Matt Kemp-Corey Seager Dodgers get-Sale-Owings Something like that, I just want an impact LH bat to start if I'm trading Sale. Sox have a few guys who could end up being impact RH bats (Abreu, Garcia, Viciedo, Davidson((in this trade)), but nothing on the other side of the football. Super underwhelming return. Any Dodgers deal would start with Pederson Seager and Lee.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 09:00 PM) Trading Quintana for Headley would be a horrible move IMO, even if he agreed to an extension since you're probably talking about at least 5 years at $15M per season. If you trade Quintana, it's got to be for a young, cost-controlled bat, someone like Castro, where you retain most of your surplus value while filling a major need. Glad to see that Hahn agrees with that logic. I'd still love to get Headley, but the price would have to come down quite a bit for a deal to make sense for us. Jason Castro has 3 years of control left. I'm not 100% sold on him. We'd be buying high. I'd much rather go after Grandal if he's available. I think he's a better overall player and has 5 years of control left.

A Rock/Bucket appearance would be nice right about now.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 08:31 PM) http://www.csnchicago.com/white-sox/white-...ley-if-they-pay Dan Hayes mentions the White Sox longstanding interest in Chase Headley. San Diego wants Quintana in return. What does everyone think? Quintana is a very important part of the White Sox future but I could get Chase Headley with an extension along with Yasmani Grandal, I think I could part with Quintana and a young reliever. Any thoughts guys? Headley plus an extension along with Grandal would cost more than Quintana. I'd be ecstatic to acquire both of them, but more pieces would have to go to San Diego. It would lock down 3B and C for the foreseeable future.

QUOTE (dayan024 @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 08:29 PM) Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 1m #WhiteSox want Chase Headley but dont want to part w/ Jose Quintana to get him. Controllable years key. #Padres http://bit.ly/1fbi2pS Rightfully so. If they can extend him I'd be all over this. I'd also try and and add more pieces for Grandal if at all possible. 3B and C would hopefully be covered for years.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 08:00 PM) maybe if you add Holmberg, Eaton, and Bradley. Holmberg was traded to the Reds. But yes, that trade proposal for Sale was light.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 06:42 PM) There is probably not a snowballs chance in hell that they take that deal. Beckham + Beck + Petricka maybe. For one season of Gardner? No thanks.

The White Sox are not signing Tanaka. The White Sox are not signing Choo. This place is starved for a trade rumor.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 11:06 AM) Give me Headley and Grandal A trade for Headley with an extension and Grandal would be fantastic. The cost would be pretty high though.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Dec 6, 2013 -> 11:01 AM) I am not convinced that Sanchez isn't Montero all over again, over hyped because of the organization he is in, but a bat that wont play at any other position and a glove that wont let him stay behind the plate. Gary Sanchez is going to be fine behind the plate.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Dec 5, 2013 -> 11:45 AM) I find myself flip flopping back and forth between Hoffman and Kolek at this time. I lean towards Kolek but he is committed so I would hate to waste a #3 pick on a kid that goes to college. Spring will bring another season of college and HS baseball so who knows how the draft pick status will change. Some likely rise and some likely fall. A prep player popped 3rd overall is undoubtedly going to sign.
