QUOTE (Paulstar @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:06 PM) Best news about acquiring Asvail Garcia (not a huge fan of his, but fits the mold of the type of hitter this team needs) is that Rios will most likely be traded tomorrow. How is he the type of hitter this team needs? He's another less 5% walk rate outfielder. He's like an average defensive Dayan Viciedo but without the major league success.

QUOTE (spiderman @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:04 PM) I haven't followed Middlebrooks, but wasn't he sent back to the minors for not performing this season? Middlebrooks hits very much like Tyler Flowers

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:02 PM) Don't you Rienzo me Lol, we need to make "to Rienzo" a real meme around here

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:01 PM) Middlebrooks was NOT pulled. Oh f***ing hell yes. I was close to weeping

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:56 PM) Middlebrooks leaves Pawtucket game

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:55 PM) Trader Rick sure gets creativity points. Garcia also may well mean Rios is on his way out. Could also mean Viciedo to first if Paulie retires.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:54 PM) Why the f*** am I sober for this? I'm drinking quickly, lol.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:53 PM) Garcia, Middlebrooks and another prospect would be splendid These are like the two most overrated prospects in the game to me I've got a long history of hating them both.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:48 PM) Danny Knobler ‏@DannyKnoblerCBS 3s It appears Tigers are getting Jose Iglesias as part of White Sox-Red Sox trade Expand Called it! I'm going to cry if Aviail is our main get though...

Wait, how much do you guys want to bet that Iglesias is going to DETROIT as a replacement for the soon-to-be-suspended Peralta?

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:44 PM) I'm just not sold on Middlebrooks or Iglesias. Me either =\ Both of them appear to be BABIP fueled hitters -- swing at everything, hope pitchers don't figure that out.

f***ing 4.8% walk rate -- we need guys that get on base!

QUOTE (daggins @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:41 PM) also getting JBJ sets up Rios to Texans for Odor No chance he's a part of the deal.

I was REALLY hoping for Cechinni -- I don't trust Iglesias' bat.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 04:53 PM) My hopes aren't up, but it was the Pirates guy who mentioned his name in a deal. I would Fing love if Rick was able to pull it off Some Twitter sources said a package had been discussed, though, not that the Pirates offered it.

Taillon is a pipe dream, my friends. Please do not get your hopes up.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 04:35 PM) Several dollars. Dozens, at least

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 03:43 PM) Despite interest from the Red Sox, A's, D'Backs, and Cardinals, the sense is the White Sox are coming down on their asking price for Peavy, tweets Sean McAdam of CSNNE.com. Inevitable

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 03:36 PM) Rios would veto a trade to the Yankees. http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/white-sox/...se-trade-rumors

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 03:26 PM) Gallardo just limped off the field. Dark times for Brewers fans.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 02:46 PM) A's are back in on Peavy according to Slusser. Goddamn that fickle Brad Pitt! Just make up your mind! Send us Carlos Pena!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 02:13 PM) Now everyone's expectations for a return on Rios are going to be way too unrealistic. Yeah, weeks of tempering expectations toward realistic just got ruined, lol.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 02:09 PM) QUOTE (GoGoSox2k2 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 02:08 PM) if we can get Taillon from the Pirates everyone should be singing the praises to Mr. Rick Hahn Don't know much about him other than he's their number 1 prospect. Got a quick scouting report on him and maybe Davidson? Just do a time sensitive Google search and browse around. They'll all say Taillon is super legit. I can't believe there's any chance we actually get him, though I'm sure Hahn obviously asked for him.

Holy s***, Taillon? That's insane.
