QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 03:02 PM) Between Sale last night, Billy Pierce passing away, all the moves other teams made to improve themselves, Detroit getting a lot stronger for next season compared to a week ago...all of the excitement about the last two months of the season has kind of gone out of the balloon. I second that. Definitely a little deflated.

I guess at the very least the sox were able to put values on a lot of the minor leaguers so we know how other teams view them at least

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 02:56 PM) If they don't think we can compete they should be trading Samardzija. I agree but I think the FO was pulling in different directions and that took us out of a lot of early deals cause we couldn't make up our minds now we stay pat and its a win win for them.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 02:55 PM) NO Wheeler. Watch it be nothing and set this place in a rage. Not going to lie I'm disappointed. Wanted something to get excited about. If they made some kind of move the ballpark would have been electric tonight especially with the yanks in town. Watch this team for flat this weekend like our deadline was.

QUOTE (RaySox @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 02:54 PM) I hope the Sox don't think they can compete for Wild Card now with the upgrades the teams in front of us made. Clearly the lack of movement this week shows they do not think we could compete.

Disappointed, but at least we're better of than San Diego who held the deadline ransom and ended up holding the bag when the music stopped. All those names and none moved yet?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 02:49 PM) Bruce Levine ‏@MLBBruceLevine now7 seconds ago Source says Cespedes has been dealt to the Mets . This thread is OVAH and same with the deadline and most likely the WC run after the other teams moves. Oh well....

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 02:48 PM) Why the hell would we want Rajai Davis? Maybe we don't but it's been said all am the mets have a bigger need at CF than at the Corner so maybe they get Davis and we get Ceapedes.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 02:46 PM) Intriguing. Guess we'll know in 12 minutes but I think it's done for us

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 02:46 PM) Then there is this. Tony Paul ‏@TonyPaul1984 4m4 minutes ago Three-way trade could have #Tigers moving Yoenis Cespedes and Rajai Davis, possibly. Mets, White Sox appear to be involved. Who's this dude

15 mins left looks like we stuck out on our deadline deal, guessing the Mets get Cespedes and Upton stays put. Sox stand pat unfortuantelyz

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 02:44 PM) Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 35s36 seconds ago The #Whitesox were aggressive, but fell short, and now out of #Tigers Cespedes sweepstakes Mother f well that mean nada for us for the deadline. Man that blows

I really want to know what the f the Padres Re up to

Under pressure

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 12:56 PM) Trade Shark! Be conservative once! They'll be conservative all right, they'll be so indecisive we will end up standing pat. Which isn't the worst thing, but boring as hell.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 12:46 PM) Cue up the PS4! Sox: Cespedes Upton Tigers: Avi Garcia Erik Johnson Chris Reed (LAD) Padres: Saladino Zach Lee (LAD) Joe Ross (WAS) Nationals: Laroche Dodgers: Shark Nothing like your good ol' 5 team ten player trade.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 12:42 PM) Jason is going to move Puig to the White Sox by sheer force of will. I wish that's all it would take for Puig

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 12:38 PM) Harper, Span (15-day DL), Taylor, Werth... who gets benched? That's what they were saying on the Network they have a lot of OFs I don't know if it was speculation by Heyman but he said Rizzo loves him and he's the type of player he goes for, a scouts player.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 12:37 PM) If we can fleece some one for Samardzija and get enough to pull off a Puig deal without losing Anderson then it's worth. I agree I would freakin love if we pulled Puig out somehow........

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 12:34 PM) Mets are targeting Cespedes. Watch the tigers pull of Wheeler for him. Nationals also supposedly sniffing around Cespedes.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 12:28 PM) Gordon Wittenmyer ‏@GDubCub 5m5 minutes ago Source: Haren to Cubs from Marlins. They probably are not done, or shouldn't be anyway

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 12:11 PM) #WhiteSox listening to "everything," source says. Have not completely ruled out Jeff Samardzija trade -- and open to adding, too. https://twitter.com/jonmorosi/status/627164066063085568 Well here come the rumors atleast

If we are talking three team I would love to find a way to turn Samardjiza into Puig

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 12:05 PM) White Sox's pursuit of impact RH bat (Yoenis Cespedes/Justin Upton) might lead to Jeff Samardzija trade, either in 3-team deal or 2 trades. https://twitter.com/philgrogers/status/627162584370814976 Well this should be an interesting few hours, sit back relax and strap it in.

Put your seat belts on there will be a flurry of trades that are done but won't be announced until final hour according to several GMs Espn
