QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 09:40 PM) This is a really bad post. There is no compromise. THey need a franchise altering haul for Sale and Quintana or it's not worth trading them. Not really a debate. Not sure what is so hard to understand about it either. Oh Christ. Do we have to go over this again? I have zero faith in Rick Hahn. That's what it amounts to. Part of it is it tempts them to go for it again next year.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 05:56 PM) That is an interesting tweet from Merkin... He didnt throw cold water on the though atleast. Sounds like last minute offers may be in play

QUOTE (Policiious @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 05:33 PM) YES. trade Rodon to Oskland for Hill. Ro don is not good enough for this rotation. Once Hill is on board, trade Quintana for 2 quality position players who can hit like Lucroy plus 1. Milwaukee would part with Lucroy for a top line starter. That gives u a Sale Shields Hill rotation with a much stronger lineup with a great receiver. If that does not make the Sox a contender I do not know what will Rodon is 2-8 with a high era, stick a fork in him

QUOTE (daggins @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 05:12 PM) Cause he genuinely wants to know. I don't think his sources are talking, honestly. This guy has been all over the map the last few days. Brian is the only one I wait for actual inside news on here.

It's going to be glorious. Standing pat. Robin Ventura getting an extension. Various IF and OF pieces traded for. Talk about high expectations with playoffs in mind and missing them. Then 1 year less on Sale and Q's contracts. What really needs to happen is Hahn needs to be fired and a new GM needs to be brought in to rebuild.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 04:48 PM) Yeah, that is true, but you can't allow them to dictate what you get for assets like Sale and Quintana just because they are the Red Sox. Who said anything about allowing them to do a trade because they are the Red Sox? I'm more worried about our idiot general manger trying to justify another run at it next year and further delaying this. He's going to try and save his ass.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 04:45 PM) Well I just can't take you seriously if that is the case. You've got no business being at the big boy table if you want to play with money from the kiddie table. They are probably perfectly fine with that. They get to bring those prospects up next year and we get to wallow at the .500 line waiting for Sale's contract to expire.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 04:42 PM) I think there is a deal there to be made for Quintana without Moncada. But I'm sorry, I just can't have a serious conversation with you if you want Sale and you are trying to claim a prospect is off-limits. See I dont think they are willing to give up either of the two top prospects for Q. I think if you want one of them(Your only getting 1) you need to give up Sale.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 04:37 PM) No Moncada for the White, then no Sale for the Red. It's that simple. Probably. But if they really wanted to get rid of him they would have to compromise which I must say sounds better than keeping both going into the offseason. Hahn trying to keep his job trading for other various bandaids.

I mean if you really want to trade Sale to Boston I'm pretty positive you wont be getting Moncada back in return. I'm not sure they would trade him for anyone.

Yeah he just popped up a grand slam ball

Ball 8...Ball 12 and Vaughan has walked the bases loaded

whitesoxdave ‏@barstoolWSD 4m4 minutes ago Chicago, IL I am #done talking about the trade deadline until Monday. #done https://twitter.com/barstoolWSD/status/759561310619271168 Lol this guy is something else

http://m.rangers.mlb.com/news/article/1926...deadline-nears/ Just something to keep in mind. Shin-Soo Choo is feeling better.

Andrew Benintendi is still physically with the team in beautiful Binghamton. Indications are it’s just a day off. https://twitter.com/EvanDrellich/status/759523863969538048

White Sox evaluators aren't just scouting Red Sox' system. Source says Chicago looking at catchers, incl Christian Vazquez and Gary Sanchez. https://twitter.com/alexspeier/status/759505031401844736 Quest for a catcher continues

oh and Alex Speier ‏@alexspeier 4s4 seconds ago White Sox evaluators aren't just scouting Red Sox' system. Source says Chicago looking at catchers, incl Christian Vazquez and Gary Sanchez. https://twitter.com/alexspeier/status/759505031401844736

Nick Cafardo is on MLB Network channel on XM Radio. Think's that there's a possibility someone ponies up for Sale. Mentions the Dodgers as a team that's definitely hunting with Texas. Iffy if Dom will do it because he's normally so up front with the areas he's going after.

Rick Hahn "We had talked about a bunch of different possibilities with different teams...but uh...we didnt find the right fit with the criteria of players we wanted. But we're always listening. We'll continue to try and improve this team in anyway possible for the near term/long term future". Just outlined Monday's speech.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 01:33 PM) They'll trade Robertson. I am very much in confident in that. I mean that's good. But the perception in the writers realm seems to be salary dump. Which would be extremely underwhelming considering the market.

Honestly I doubt we do anything

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 10:30 PM) I know he broke thhe following: - Danks extension - peavy first trade - EJax to Cards Jackson to the Blue Jays as well I think too

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 10:27 PM) We need another kOna bomb Right...what was that like 7 years ago?

Phillies are going to rake Daniels over the coals again. He wont give up Mazara but probably a majority of his high end prospects plus Profar or Gallo. For a starter who is injury prone.

We may be able to count the Rangers out soon http://www.csnphilly.com/philadelphia-phil...vince-velasquez
