QUOTE (RockfordJim @ Dec 29, 2016 -> 04:01 PM) No offense, and I'm sure he's a fine young man, but why would we even waste oxygen discussing somebody who is hopefully a Ross Gload? I mean, if I had a son who was a major leaguer like that, I'd be really proud, but frankly I doubt if I'd spend any time touting him on a message board rather than talking about the players who will actually count. Because cheap, quality backups are nice to have.

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 29, 2016 -> 02:59 PM) I seriously had no idea this existed. Matt.

Reynolds' last words were about how he missed Carrie and wanted to be with her.

The fact that Carrie Fisher's mother basically died of a broken heart is incredibly depressing. RIP Debbie and Carrie and condolences to their family.

Well, that was weird.

QUOTE (peavy44 @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 08:59 PM) What dude no other trades yet. Patience is a gift.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 03:38 PM) I want Quintana to the Pirates, not only because I like their prospects best but their fans seem to have properly grasped Q's value better than anyone else. Yeah. He'd be appreciated there.

@ChrisRongey What I'm gathering from Twitter is Yankees fans have no idea how good Jose Quintana is.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 03:12 PM) Can we not be bitter towards teams who decide not to give us what we're asking for? It's perfectly reasonable to decide not to give Francis Martes, Kyle Tucker and Joe Musgrove for Jose Quintana. Eh, Law that offer was light and I'd agree. To me it's because the Astros are like the Braves and don't view Q as a front line starter.

Good for Houston. They can be content with losing.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 03:13 PM) It was mentioned on MLBN this morning that Basabe will be in the top 100 when it gets updated for MLB.com Well how bout that.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 03:10 PM) YES, YES, YES!!! Mike has been possessed by Hawk Harrelson.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 02:07 PM) rabbit and Nightengale with White Sox leaks. They usually leak very little. Something is going to happen pretty soon. They don't want these guys with their names out there every day if there's a decent possiblility they are going to be on the team. Too much distraction. Agreed . Way too much smoke.

Personal attacks are done. This is a final warning.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 02:43 PM) Noted and I apologize. Maybe moron was the phrase used yesterday. Hummmm. Meathead I am not - idiot, at times. Or is it really masked genius? ( trade, happen soon please. ) Soxtalk trade fever would sum it up. I'm suffering as well.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 01:32 PM) I can't see New York completely destroying their farm system in a deal like that No mlb team can unload 7 top 30 prospects in one deal haha I said it was crazy

Guys, as a personal request please avoid using the term "retard". It's evolved over the years and using it negatively is akin to using "gay" in the same light. I'd like this message board to be accessible to all and stuff like that can give us a meatball persona which belies the incredible insight and intelligence of this board.

Crazy, messageboard GM proposal Quintana + Frazier + Robertson and cash for Headley, Torres, Rutherford, Sheffield, Tate, Judge, Andujar and McKinney

Yankees being worried about adding Jose Quintana's contract is not something I anticipate reading this offseason.

QUOTE (BRIRO2017 @ Dec 26, 2016 -> 06:57 PM) LOL and i would care why? Especially your opinion. If you do not want people thinking youre a moron(that i do), stop acting like one. And opposing everything i say, isnt going to change a thing. If you'd like people to care about your opinion, stop acting so dismissive and some better language. Hi8is posts like a nutjob most of the time but is benign and shows his intelligence when he so chooses.

MLB's eight potential trades has three Sox deals.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Dec 24, 2016 -> 11:08 PM) I think Q is worth more than that. Sale drew two of the top 30 prospects in baseball, including arguably the #1 prospect, and 2 more interesting pieces. Q is only slightly less valuable, and that gap could be made up for a team like the Pirates in the extra year of control. Glasnow is a top 10 prospect, Bell maybe top 50, but that means there should be another top 100-150 piece and another interesting piece coming to the Sox. If only 3 pieces are coming to Chicago for Q, it should be Glasnow, Meadows, and Bell. Agreed if it's only three, like how the Sox wanted Moncada, Devers and Kopech but settled on Basabe and Diaz.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Dec 24, 2016 -> 09:23 PM) I agree with your premise, but would look for a Glasnow, Meadows, Bell, Newman, Keller return for taking back a contract. For that package you need to include Jones at least. That's 5 Top 100 prospects. Q is probably worth Glasnow, Bell and Newman. Jones worth Keller. Together with a contract that may equal adding Meadows there, but that's a tall order.
