Not even a little.

That's a relief.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:15 AM) Honestly, I was going to throw out this exact trade a couple hours ago. Thompson has a lot of traits that would be attractive to Billy and his defense could be very valuable in their park. Beck is a nearly major league ready arm and could fill a spot in the back of the rotation or pen at some point this season. Having said that; both Thompson & Beck are expendable to us IMO. Beane must really value Semien, because these are some light secondary pieces. This is an absolutely fantastic trade and worth the rental risk. Unfortunately the report with Thompson/Beck in it seems fake.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:15 AM) Real question is who is going. Only question at this point.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:11 AM) I wonder if ESPN got burned as well by a fake account. Still haven't seen the names from a real reporter... Looking to be the case.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:08 AM) It does seem too good. Yep. Getting this vibe too.

Seriously. Great trade. Semien is the only moderately concerning name in that deal. Sox are going to either get an extension or a draft pick at the end of the year too. I ain't mad.

I don't hate giving up any of those pieces! Good move.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 10:22 PM) Semien, Danish and Trey is a lot. Yep. Not a fan unless this extension happens.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 10:02 PM) MLB Network: "White Sox may be about to add Samardzija, but what about the Yankees? Let's talk to Jon Heyman about the Yankees and their bullpen." *Shoots self in face* Eh. It's not like you go to TV for breaking news anymore. Especially sports related.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 09:35 PM) (oh great, more ND fans at Sox games) f***ing hell.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 09:29 PM) Hawkins I'd be okay with that.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 09:25 PM) Definitely looking like it. A few suprises this week and it ain't Sale to the Red Sox. Hoping for something young, cost controlled, and can be penciled into the core for a while.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 09:20 PM) Some here may not like the package sent. Ugh.

Would love to see an extension come out of this...

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 7, 2014 -> 01:07 PM) It's fine with me. I love KW but it's Hahn's time to have full control now. Blessing in disguise. Seconded.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 12:04 PM) If he is gone, and Samardjia is all that is coming back, this waiting years to build a foundation is BS. He is the one guy the drafted who actually seems to be developing. Which is why I hope there is more to it than just Shark. A good shot at an extension? More pieces involved? etc. I'd be pretty dour on a Anderson for Shark trade. Even though there would be draft pick compensation at the end.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 11:59 AM) He deleted the tweet. Hmmm.

QUOTE (Sockin @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 11:48 AM) I realize how dumb this is but Tim Anderson just tweeted 3 sad face emoticons... I had the same thought. Probably unrelated but you never know.

Fake account. Rosenthal doesn't have two l's in it.
