Things I'd do to see Eric Berry and Sean Smith in the Bears secondary. Both free agents at seasons end...

With retaining some salary, the Tigers have 151 million committed to 11 players. Wow.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 9, 2016 -> 12:34 PM) He's always been impressive. Would be a household name at a bigger school. If you were Bears, would you trade down, get a couple more picks, and draft this guy late teens, early 20s? I think I would.

Carson Went looks pretty impressive

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 9, 2016 -> 09:16 AM) Didn't TOR largely just trade Revere for savings? No. Storen actually makes 1.1 million more than Revere this next season. Revere at 7.7 and Storen at 8.8. Washington did send 1.1 million in the deal to balance it all out.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 9, 2016 -> 09:13 AM) @ken_rosenthal #Tigers continue to monitor outfield and bullpen markets, sources tell me and @jonmorosi. Complementary pieces, most likely. Parra or bringing back Jackson would make sense for them.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 11:22 PM) Don't forget Aaron Sanchez. Destined for the bullpen. I don't think he can start, dominant in the pen though.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 11:17 PM) Yeah I'm coming around to the idea of them being a threat. Watch them shock everyone and sign Davis. All the homeruns. I could see Davis out of anyone since they have a need at 1B as well. Davis could also play the OF.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 11:14 PM) In your opinion, who should they go out and spend the money on? I wouldn't spend on Gallardo personally and I think Chen is going to sign somewhere else. If they were to spend it on anyone, I'd spend it on Chen. He already knows the AL East and would pitch behind a powerful lineup. If you think they would dish out big money for Cespedes or Upton, they can for Chen.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 10:41 PM) Keith/Seabrook/Hjalmarsson/Gustafsson/Van Riemsdyk is a pretty sick top-five. We can live with Scuderi/Rozsival whomever as #6. I agree. Rotating Rozival and Scuderi to keep fresh for the playoffs is perfect for them guys. Still think they get a forward though.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 11:09 PM) Could be posturing. Seriously, it's not THAT farfetched for them to be in on one of these outfielders. If they do, they'll be scrambling at the deadline for starting pitchers and giving up prospects for relying on guys like Dickey, Hutchison, 1 good year Estrada, and fricken J.A Happ lol. That rotation is worse than it was last years end.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 11:07 PM) Stroman, being a minimum guy, still wouldn't be replaced. Obviously. My point is, they have less than 40 million invested in their rotation for 2016....that's not a lot.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 11:00 PM) Yeah, there are reportsb saying they traded revere because he was a luxury with their surplus of OFs. They are not in this market. This x10000

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 10:58 PM) I get that, but they have a lot of money tied up in that rotation between 5 starters already. I see Chen signing with the Nats (he's been connected to them throughout the offseason). I just don't know who they'd spend on. They've spent 33.5 million for the 2016 season on Estrada, Dickey, and Happ. Stroman & Hutchison are close to minimum guys, and Chavez won't get that much in arbitration. Tulo & Martin make more than that between the 2 of them.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 10:48 PM) I think they use a rotating DH for the most part though. And come on man, they wouldn't be fooling anyone if they said they believe Saunders to be the starter and healthy for most of the season. They're not fooling anyone with anyone in that rotation either....outside of Stroman, maybe. They can afford to have a "hole" in LF given the state of their current lineup.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 10:10 PM) I would add Jays to the list of potential suitors now. No chance. Their lineup is stacked as it is. If anything, they'll go after pitching.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 09:50 PM) Oops. Right. The real question is how much rope does Pompey get after last season? Boras is just doing his job to open up his market to the NL, but it's as convincing as me selling Ian Desmond as the next Ben Zobrist/Chone Figgins. Maybe platoon Saunders and Pompey in LF until someone outplays one another?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 09:42 PM) Dan Jennings (the GM/manager not Sox LHP) to the Nats too, Anthopolous to Dodgers... Fwiw, Pompey, Saunders and Bautista seems a bit suspect. The Blue Jays just announced Revere was going to be their leadoff guy last week. Interesting. Where are the Blue Jays payroll-wise? You forgot Kevin Pillar who is a good CFer, but hits 9th in that lineup. QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 09:45 PM) You can add Tucker, Braun, Crawford/Ethier/Van Slyke/Thompson, Markakis, Bourn Thank you. Even more. EDIT:Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 3h3 hours ago Teams say agent Scott Boras has been pushing to create options for Chris Davis. Selling him hard as everyday RF/LF option, as well as 1Bman

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 09:22 PM) Bryce Drew and Roger Powell make too much sense For Illinois?

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 09:23 PM) White Sox, Baltimore, Detroit, Angels, and Cardinals all for Justin Upton, Chris Davis, Jay Bruce, Yoenis Cespedes, and the 3 Colorado OFers. QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 09:26 PM) Still got fowler out there too QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 09:27 PM) And Parra...and Jackson. And a whole slew of possible trade candidates. Recap: Reported Outfielders available via FA or trade: Yoenis Cespedes Chris Davis Justin Upton Jay Bruce Carlos Gonzalez Corey Dickerson Charlie Blackmon Brett Gardner Jacoby Ellsbury Ender Inciarte Marcell Ozuna Gerardo Parra Austin Jackson Dexter Fowler Reported teams interested in outfielders: White Sox Cardinals Angels Tigers Orioles Indians? Astros?

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 09:26 PM) Still got fowler out there too Yeah and I just added Bruce and the 3 Colorado OFers as well.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 09:21 PM) Everything is falling into place. Now we need Davis to go back to Baltimore and St. Louis to trade for CarGo. White Sox, Baltimore, Detroit, Angels, and Cardinals all for Justin Upton, Chris Davis, Jay Bruce, Yoenis Cespedes, and the 3 Colorado OFers.

For Drew Storen according to Heyman. Takes them out of the OF market. Huge for the Sox.

Gase has a 2nd interview with the Dolphins this weekend. Word is he won't leave there without a deal done. I like that fit for Gase.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 06:29 PM) Realistically, what teams are still in the market for Cespedes? I think the Giants and Angels are out now, so that leaves us with the: White Sox Orioles Nationals Cardinals Tigers Are there any other teams I missed? I like our chances. Orioles waiting on Chris Davis. Nationals I think is more focusing on getting a CF. Cardinals best fit is the trade route, imo. Tigers are a scary team because YC has a past with them and the owner is willing to throw money all over the place.
