The Tigers owe Verlander,Martinez and Cabrera 78 million in 2018. They got about 2-3 years before all hell breaks loose.

Good very good

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 11, 2014 -> 11:22 AM) i am being perfectly honest here. would that be a fair deal? i am very guilty of over valuing the sox players and prospects. Yes it's absolutely fair. Keep in mind I've conferred with many other outsiders(of both teams) on this issue. Alexei's value should be high.

You just wait for the Mets to offer Wheeler straight up and you take it

I mean this seems like the Martinez catch all...so if someone want's to make another thread that's cool

Nick Cafardo @nickcafardo · 7h 7 hours ago Al Nero and staff ready to forward talks for clients Victor Martinez, Jason Hammel and Asdrubal Cabrera. https://twitter.com/nickcafardo Well that was quick

I've been discussing this with Met fans all day. They dont seem to realize it's going to take one of their top 4 for Alexei. Sorry it just is. Go find me a player with his health and production/value at SS that's available then give me a call.

I would take Nimmo,8-15 range player plus another interesting arm

1st move of the offseason. Probably the worst of the offseason when it's all said and done. Just stupid.

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 9, 2014 -> 06:22 AM) and how are you getting this feeling, this thought?? Didnt I just go through explaining that?

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 9, 2014 -> 01:55 AM) Oh he said to the public that this team doesn't suck? Woah boys, where do I get playoff tickets? Stop the presses, this changes everything! Shirley you can't be serious? Did you even read the article? Do you miss the obvious clues including the thread your posting in(not to mention the one below it)? I can see you just like to ignore information. Theo said the same thing about the Cubs weeks ago...they are meeting with Russell Martin next week but that's probably all bull crap right? Maybe do some actual research...heck a 5 second google search found that article. The quote is "Surely you can't be serious" btw

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 9, 2014 -> 01:19 AM) Yeah, I don't think they do. "“It’s absolutely our intent (to contend in 2015),” Hahn said." http://www.csnchicago.com/white-sox/front-...an-contend-2015 So clearly not

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 8, 2014 -> 10:18 PM) Why on Earth does this team need a rental? They aren't a playoff contender next season. Contenders trade for rentals, not rebuilding organizations. Rick Hahn and the rest of the organization seems to think so

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 8, 2014 -> 11:08 AM) Yes. Stuff starts happening at this point as all of the teams are together in one place at the same time. Yep a bunch of teams are meeting the top free agents. Maybe some resigns will take place and trades.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Nov 7, 2014 -> 06:27 PM) Again, why do people want the Sox to trade for 1 year rent when they are coming off of 73 wins and are trying to build a team? Heck they should take Alexei and give us a prospect. Shark isn't elite. Isnt it obvious why they would do a trade like this when listening to Hahn's comments?

^^ I'll see what I can dig up in a little while

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 5, 2014 -> 03:22 PM) I'd rather see Viciedo dealt for Castro than Viciedo dealt for Dominic Brown. Well ofcourse

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 5, 2014 -> 03:14 PM) This is why I love the offseason. You see a lot of morons, as opposed to meatheads, come out of the wood work. Yes, the White Sox would trade Jose Abreu for Jason f***ing Castro. I just love the people that say we have "nothing" on this team that anybody wants. Somehow that always turns out wrong.

Pretty hilarious...Astros fan on mlbtraderumors saying it would cost Jose Abreu or Chris Sale because " there's nobody on that team anybody wants"

QUOTE (woods of ypres @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 03:08 PM) Free agency starts midnight EST? Yes

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 2, 2014 -> 11:04 AM) I'd rather have the money that we'd pay him for something else. Same...I'm not sure I want him starting but I dont want Rasmus either

I'm definitely on board with signing him.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Nov 1, 2014 -> 02:41 PM) I'll take Gregerson for the pen but I'll pass on Martinez and Rasmus. I think Hahn will do better... I dont want Rasmus but I'm firmly on the Martinez train.

I will be surprised if the Cubs get 3 of those guys let alone all 5
