QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 01:16 PM) So I take it this has been a whole lot of nothing? Well no...the Sun Times article says there is talk and it could be at the serious stage.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 12:24 PM) The comments under the mlbtraderumors page is comical. Very...I like arguing on there though. Just remember Jerry never ever signs pitchers to long term deals

QUOTE (Jake @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 11:51 AM) I'd also like to point out that this guy will be 30 years old by the time he could put on a Sox uni Ok?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 11:07 AM) Exactly, that's the question. Maybe his girlfriend broke up with him, maybe his car broke down, maybe he overcooked his pizza. Like another posted already mentioned, it could be another Marquis Teague situation. Pizza gate 2.0....yes

Well I'm interested now. Robert Murray broke the A's signing Billy Butler btw

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 26, 2014 -> 04:25 PM) I was kind of surprise and disappointed. I thought the sox was the surprise team to come in and make the bid. if it is as you said, they may have saw something they did not like, I wonder what it was. I am just thinking they have their money planned for someone. oh well gots to see how this plays out and how Tomas does during the season. Watch his swing compared to Abreu's and you'll see why his price tag was that low

Maybe it was last year or a few years ago but I remember one reporter saying they contacted the White Sox about Sale. Pretty sure they've been obsessed with him since then.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 24, 2014 -> 12:37 PM) all i will give you is, No. I'll raise you a Hell No.

Not bad for someone who should be at DH full time

uhhh

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Nov 22, 2014 -> 01:44 PM) We need: A starting OF An above average 3B Two quality SPs Another RP Backup catcher So I disagree. Right...the offseason is over and we have no money left.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 22, 2014 -> 07:12 AM) I am no fan of Keith Law, but that twitter comversation does make you understand how it was possible Schilling doesn't have a dime left of the $114 million he was paid to play baseball. So true...cant fix stupid

Well out of the two Upton brothers he makes the most sensen...but I still dont like it. He's hitting the market after this year.

Didnt he run off the set during an interview at the winter meetings last year because of the Adam Eaton deal?

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Nov 21, 2014 -> 09:28 PM) Ew. It is ew but just a shot in the dark

We trade for Montero

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 21, 2014 -> 08:47 PM) Lol@ Kaplan as a serious source. I like Kaplan when he's screaming about Marc Trestman...but I dont listen to him when he talks about the White Sox

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 21, 2014 -> 08:44 PM) The $7 million price tag fits but will he provide enough impact? He's incredibly streaky offensively and completely unorthodox defensively...albeit he usually gets the job done. It would be an upgrade over Garcia who would probably move to LF. But nobody will be dreaming at night like KW promised. Well the answer to your first question is probably no. Signing Melky would be ideal. I think they'll end up with him and a catcher in the next few weeks.

I'm thinking we sign Aoki

What do you guys think about the OF? Aoki?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 21, 2014 -> 07:05 PM) Absolutely. Nope Rick Hahn and Kenny were lying as I was told a month ago

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Nov 20, 2014 -> 10:42 PM) To acquire Bruce, it's gonna take a larger deal. Likely 3rd team. Where does this leave Melky if you dont mind me asking Bucket? I really appreciate the info you've given us so far

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 18, 2014 -> 05:41 PM) If the White Sox don't get an elite prospect back for Alexei Ramirez there remains zero reason to move him. Moving Alexei for anyone basically guarantees we're making the team worse in 2015. Nearly impossible to replace his production via a reasonably priced FA and whatever guy we get back would likely be a rookie and thus likely would need time to adapt to the league. It's very nearly throwing in the towel on 2015. The only reason we'd have to do that is if someone makes us significantly better in ~2016 through the trade. I honestly dont know how many times this needs to be repeated to outside fans. The White Sox have zero reason to trade him EXCEPT a package worth it in weight of players. Otherwise they can hand onto him until Anderson is ready. The situation is perfect for us right now. Either get a really good package or have a really good option at SS.

Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal · 6m 6 minutes ago Sources: #Marlins, #WhiteSox, #Padres all have checked in on LaRoche, at minimum. Other teams view him as contingency if they make trades. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal One of my favorite free agents available

I asked Dan about the possibility of taking on a contract and he didnt know. White Sox are being tight lipped right now...which we all expected.
