QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 09:15 PM) Bob Pompeani ‏@KDPomp 2m See previous tweet. Alex Rios hugging teammates. Leaves game. Details https://twitter.com/KDPomp Hmm. Badler retweeting too. Maybe legit? Ben Badler ‏@BenBadler 46s #Hugs RT @KDPomp Alex Rios hugging teammates. Leaves game. Expand

At least Ramirez has been hot lately.

Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 2m If Alex Rios is headed somewhere, doesn't sound like Pittsburgh is the spot. Source said "I don't see it happening." #WhiteSox #Pirates

Alen Hanson was pulled late from his game as well. Probably just coincidence though.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 09:04 PM) I didn't see that on the Braves broadcast either but i haven't been watching every second. Yea. The hugs haven't been reported by anyone noteworthy. Nothing from the local media either.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 08:51 PM) Yep, kind of a strange time for Ventura to finally discipline someone. Word. I sincerely hope he's been moved. Not a good look to be showing distaste for a dude you are trying to acquire maximum value for.

Andrelton Simmons is pretty great.

Trayce 2 for 3 tonight. Can't remember his last multi-hit game. Hopefully he's coming out of that awful slump. Still a big fan.

That reminds me, we are now on Hugwatch 2013.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 08:47 PM) For the deal falling through because of medicals http://www.chicagonow.com/cubs-den/2013/07...change-of-meds/ The Olt rumor there isnt a report for that just a few people doing some research. I know about the medicals being the reason. Was looking for the specifics on Olt. I'm not huge on him, so it doesn't bother me much but Bowden and others seemed to imply it was Neil Ramirez's shoulder that was the issue.

Wells in for Rios. Ventura unhappy with him not running out that double play?

Wilkins with HR number 5 in Charlotte. He could be a moderately interesting stopgap/replacement at 1B next year.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 08:39 PM) Rumor has it medicals have led to the Cubs-Rangers trade disintegrating. The player that is having medical problems? Mike Olt. You guys remember me talking about a week ago about the concern for his medicals. Others in the scouting community are expressing the same concern. Believe me or not but I did my HW on this. Link?

Great at bat by McCann. Big fan of his.

Micah Johnson with 4 SB and 4 CS so far in High-A.

Attaboy Rios. Dat trade value.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 07:47 PM) Beckham is still awesome...time for him to win the AL batting crown this year Fingers crossed that he's figured it out. Hope the power he's shown lately sticks around too.

The Braves radio guy referencing Simmons' BABIP makes me happy. I wish we had a tolerable broadcast crew.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 05:43 PM) There would have to be significant $$ going to PITT and I'm not sure Rick would do that right now. Considerations is a bigtime debate in the offices...almost more than target players right now. I really hope that significant money being sent over is in consideration if it sweetens the return to a large degree. The Sox desperately need to strengthen the farm

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 05:25 PM) Let's hope 1 week isn't too ambitious or we'll be selling one of our best trade chips for pennies on the dollar. His time frame is making me a little nervous. Fingers crossed that he can come back, have a few dominant outings and bring back a solid return. I'm also wondering if Reed is being shopped as well despite not hearing much about it.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 05:29 PM) This package is not gonna happen. Polanco is likely not going anywhere. Rios + Alexei + $$ is gonna get you something like: Josh Bell, Tyler Glasnow & (maybe) Clay Holmes but (more likely) Adrian Sampson. Glasnow is nothing to sneeze at. Breakthrough year. Bell is a White Sox type prospect as well. I'd be okay with this.

Mark Gonzales ‏@MDGonzales 8m Crain reported progress, threw from 80 feet, hopes to return in 1 week, might be ambitious

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 02:21 PM) I'm wondering how many more times and in how many more threads we can repost this tweet. I'm all for spamming the board on this one just because We should probably have a "Rios Trade Rumor Thread" and a "Peavy Trade Rumor Thread."

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 02:20 PM) If the Red Sox are looking at both Peavy and Rios, if they want both, we are guaranteed 1 or 2 of Bogarts, Bradley Jr and Webster without a doubt. The White Sox aren't getting Bogaerts. He's a top 5 prospect in all baseball. Not a chance in hell unless Sale is going to Boston.
