QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 08:58 PM) What the hell do you do if you're the opposition against Betances, Chapman and now these two? Strike really early and pray.

Ghengis Hahn on the move

QUOTE (Soha @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 08:27 PM) The Sox need a closer when D Rob is moved. If Kahnle isn't going to fetch much, which he probably won't due to his short track record of success - to me there's little reason to move him. Sox won't need a closer until 2019.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 07:13 PM) Another laudatory fangrphs article on Kahnle today...comparing him to Andrew Miller. Reading that, don't want to trade him quite yet. Holding onto relievers in a rebuild is hero worship

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 07:58 PM) Another fake Rosenthal? If it were real this board would have imploded.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 07:46 PM) Nice Fake deal.

It begins

QUOTE (striker @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 02:33 PM) I did a twitter poll. Avi + Robertson for Kelly, Flaherty, Bader https://twitter.com/paulriker/status/886778081511452672 Surprisingly, most say White Sox say no. I actually think the Cardinals would say no. You might be able to get Kelly + some lower level guys like Perez, Alcantara and Hudson before you could get Flaherty and Bader. Done.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 01:12 PM) Who wanted to DFA Robertson? He's been good for the White Sox. ...did my memory fabricate this last year?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 01:00 PM) Was that actually a thing? My dumbass would have dfa'd Avi but I don't remember the dfa Robertson bandwagon as much. Fairly strong last year I believe. Also to just give him the Yankees for salary relief. Now we're talking about eating a bit of cash to get someone like Andujar, Groome or Soto.

Remember when a bunch of people wanted to DFA Robertson? Man times change.

Sale deal has highest potential payoff, but getting the Q deal was a better deal.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Jul 17, 2017 -> 05:22 PM) I keep reading that this deal was "by far" the best offer on this thread. Does anyone have any empirical proof of this? Because if the Cubs actually gave the biggest return by a wide margin, then it wasn't a bad deal. I'd really like to see some sort of proof of that, though. There was doubt we were going to get Brinson from insiders with extremely close sources. The following prospects would have beat out Jimenez going by MLB Pipeline. - Moncada - Torres (Yankees weren't parting with) - Rosario (Mets weren't buying) - Crawford (Phillies aren't buying) - Robles (Nats weren't in it for Q) - Meadows (Pirates weren't gonna give him up) - Albies - this is the only one that there was smoke to and while you always go for talent when it's as close as Albies/Jimenez, we had a much stronger need for a power hitting OF.

Also re: trading Kahnle now or in the future. We'd have Arrieta if Crain could have been dealt sooner and Nate Jones was possibly going to being back a Ken Giles return. Then there's Putnam.

Think Nightengale was pure speculation or fed some KW info?

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 17, 2017 -> 03:11 PM) Remember when Billy Beane was THE GM? Still don't understand that

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 17, 2017 -> 08:03 AM) As others have said, you're going to have to temper your expectations in what we actually get I'm riding on high on Hahn's wheeling and dealing

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 17, 2017 -> 12:01 AM) The Sox have $4.75 million in International Bonus Money. They spent $600K on 2 players. I highly doubt they have Texas $4 million. Probably like $1.5 million tops. It wasn't disclosed when we reached out. I think Caulfield was asking who our #2 J2 signing was in the org behind Adolfo...just as a general question.

Also I forgot to mention that once lemon juice gets added to guac, suddenly I love it. I dunno why.

Micker went 1-3 with a walk and strikeout. Call got a hit!

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 08:46 PM) For the record I wanna say I LOVE Delmonico offensively. I seen him in person in spring training and I know for sure the dude is a ML hitter. No doubt. The White Sox create new league rules to allow 9 DHs and 9 fielders.

If they package Robertson, Frazier and cash to the Yankees or Red Sox, these would be my asks back: Red Sox: Groome and Dalbec/Chavis Yankees: Sheffield and Andujar
