QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 11:02 AM) 1 yr/ 4 mil Good deal. We just paid 6.25 million for our starting catchers that have pretty good splits. I'm happy.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 10:58 AM) Chris Sale had some questions for Rick Hahn after Tyler Flowers' non-tender so he called the White Sox GM Thursday. Had a good talk. https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/672820537433923584 Sale was disappointed by Flowers' non-tender and stressed how that pitcher-catcher bond is taken for granted. But excited to work with new C https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/6728...433923584"] Remember Flowers has caught every pitch thrown by Sale in the last two years https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/672821223449989120 Sale on the talk with Hahn: "We weren’t yelling at each other. We weren’t angry. We were just figuring out what was going on." https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/672821323802869760 Nothing to worry about here. It's a business, Chris knows that. Sounds like a good constructive meeting.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 10:40 AM) I admittedly don't know much about the guys he mentioned besides Trea Turner. But Trea Turner would look damn good at SS for the Sox for the next 6 years. Just go to mlb.com and look at the Nats top 30 list, they're all on there. Not impressive.

My Winter Meetings Prediction: The first trade will determine whether we are rebuilding or going for it. Signing both catchers to 1 year deals could be valuable pieces at the deadline if we are out of it.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 10:22 AM) In a good or bad way? I don't know anything about the players besides Turner. Bad way.

@Joelsherman1 Hear Pelfrey is 2 yrs at $16M with #Tigers pending physical Verlander, Zimmermann, Sanchez, Pelfrey, Norris. Bring it.

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 10:24 AM) http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-he...s-on-a-new-deal Well doesnt sound like it'll be Freese Thank you baby Jesus

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 10:18 AM) Robertson is traded to the Astros for Colin Moran, Michael Feliz, and Riley Ferrel Q is traded to the Nats for Trea Turner, Reynaldo Lopez, Pedro Severino, Jefry Rodriguez and Anderson Franco LaRoche and Chris Beck to the Rockies for a low level spect Sox sign Neftali Feliz, Will Middlebrooks, and draft Balbino Fuenmayor in the rule V draft. I'd freak out about that Q trade.

I'm just glad Turner's back. I'd love to see when healthy what he can do. He's still only 24.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 09:57 AM) Jesse Rogers was on Kaplan's show yesterday. He is a total Cubs boy. He called the Samardjiza/Russell trade the greatest in Cubs history. Said Russell is the second coming of Barry Larkin, and he is convinced the Shark will be back with the Cubs. I don't know about greatest trade in Cubs history, but it's definitely up there. To basically get Fowler, Russell, McKinney for half years from Hammel and Shark is great. Straily. part of deal to get Fowler, if you guys didn't know.

NBC News ‏@NBCNews 6m6 minutes ago BREAKING: Female shooter in San Bernardino attack pledged allegiance to ISIS leader: Sources http://nbcnews.to/1XFUcfw This answers some of your questions

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 09:31 AM) That game last night was crazy fun and I'm glad the Packers won, but my lord is that team a hot mess. I don't know what's going on. I think it's probably just a one year problem, but they need to make some changes in the offseason. McCarthy needs to call the plays again. Play calling from Clements has been awful.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 08:12 PM) I'd also be content with Bryant or Schwarber. In terms of ceiling, it goes Bryant, Russell, Baez, Schwarber.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 06:42 PM) Not only is he pretty mediocre, but I also feel like he's Crede-esque in terms of consistently being banged up. I have that same feeling.

3 players that I'm looking at with our first 3 picks #10: OF Kyle Lewis Mercer SS Delvin Perez OF William Benson #Comp pick 3B Nolan Jones RHP Alex Speas RHP Cal Quantrill #2nd round pick RHP Cody Sedlock 3B Carter Kieboom LHP Braxton Garrett

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 06:36 PM) My prediction is Freese on a 3 year deal...and it won't go well. That would anger me so much.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 06:18 PM) Why would the Sox want those 2? Dietrich's not a 3B Defense has long been a huge albatross on the Sox On other matters: Lawrie's no better than average. Micah would be a fair deal for him, especially as Robbie doesn't know how to use him. Cargo be just a ridiculous trade. $20 mill a year, 2 year rent, heavily stacked Coors field stats, low OBP, lots of Ks. Sox need to build, not wish-cast. You always bash our ideas, yet don't provide your own ideas of what the Sox should do.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 06:05 PM) Getting rid of LaRoche and DHing Melky makes us better defensively just by that alone. I honestly think Avi could intrigue a team like COL because of their park. I'm hoping for a Montas, LaRoche, Avi for CarGo and maybe stealing McMahon by adding another prospect. I literally just proposed this on the last page lol.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 11:40 AM) No I will not. Catch all's are not tolerated on this site. They are a detriment to healthy discussion and make it more difficult for people to read the site. It wasn't really a catch all. We were developing plans on what we thought best fit the Sox and had discussions over that.

40 man is now at 38 with Turner and Navarro

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 11:33 AM) Technically he was taken off the 40 man yesterday and put back on today. Ok, thank you.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 11:11 AM) Lots of pitchers and OF. Watching Dalbec and Okey's years will be interesting. That Puerto Rican SS is very intriguing to me too. Should be fun with 3 pretty valuable picks on the first night. My favorite offensive player in this draft might be OF Kyle Lewis from Mercer. Reminds me of Justin Upton

Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan 3m3 minutes ago Source: Jacob Turner, non-tendered yesterday, re-signs with the White Sox for $1.5 million. So he's still on the 40 man, right? If not, what's the number at now for the 40 man?
