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

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Oct 29, 2014 -> 10:08 PM) I don't mind the Giants at all, but I really want the Royals to win. Come on KC! No thanks

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 29, 2014 -> 10:06 PM) 2 out of 3 lefties. I would leave him in. Yep so would I...interesting decision though

Madison or Casilla in the 9th?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 25, 2014 -> 06:06 PM) I received a season ticketholder extension package today. My invoice is for the same price as last season, however, the chart shows a significant increase, probably for new accounts. I think it means they plan on spending money and being good. That would go along with all the signs we've seen so far...definitely excited for this offseason

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 11:30 AM) If Torotno is looking to move salary they'd be unlikely to want Viciedo back. Yep that's the problem...as much as I like that idea it doesnt make sense if that's the route they're going

Him having that payroll is going to be very interesting.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 03:06 PM) Interesting to know. More than anything, it excites me that Jose loves it on the southside enough to be recruiting for us already. That and the front office seems to trust him quite a bit. Good to see.

I just asked George about where this came from and mentioned Abreu. It's definitely from Jose.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 02:25 PM) Based on what? They didn't even attend his work out according to the press reports of who was there. Exactly what I was wondering.

George Ofman @georgeofman · 31m 31 minutes ago Look for White Sox to bid high for Cuban free agent Yasmany Tomas. Power corner outfielder who knows Abreu. https://twitter.com/georgeofman

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 09:03 AM) I have the feeling a few posters would actually be very dissappointed if KW is correct and the Sox actually have a good team next season. I was actually coming in here to post something similar to that. I think some posters in here would rather us pick number 1 than finish 1st in the division. I agree with Kenny...although I didnt think we would be going for it this year(I thought maybe 2016) I still think its a good option. This gives you a pretty good sense of what the offseason will be like too.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 08:38 AM) Yep. Too much smoke here. He's going. I could put up with him for the last 4 weeks, but getting Wilkins at-bats is more important. It absolutely is...and with a few teams battling for him(who would have thought?) we may get something relatively nice back

This is getting good
