It does not appear Orioles have a firm deadline on negotiations. @MLB @MLBNetwork O's are trying so hard lol.

QUOTE (Quin @ Dec 28, 2017 -> 12:01 AM) Do we watch the same Portis? He's a matador on defense. Meanwhile Niko has been diving all of the place for loose balls and keeps his feet moving. And no, Portis' attitude sucks because he's always mean mugging and flexing after every shot. That's fine for the big moments, but it's all the damn time. I respectively disagree.

QUOTE (Quin @ Dec 26, 2017 -> 11:27 PM) Portis' attitude and defense both suck, but his value is skyrocketing at the moment due to the winning. He makes me think of Boozer, but if Boozer had an insufferable attitude. Niko can play new age center next to Lauri. Niko is a better shooter, but Portis is definitely the better defender and can still shoot the ball. Have you seen Niko play defense, 0 toughness, and would get eaten alive down low. That's why I think Portis can be because of the style he plays. Also, how does Portis' attitude suck? Because he punched a guy?

QUOTE (Quin @ Dec 26, 2017 -> 09:59 PM) Trade Portis and Lopez ASAP. Reevaluate Niko on the 15, trade Holiday then. Trade Niko keep Portis. Portis has that grit, edge to come off the bench on a good team I think. He can score and rebound the ball, plus he's younger and cheaper.

The current age of the Sox 40 man roster is 25.6. Has to be one of the youngest in the league.

Kind of upset WWE put the tag titles on Rollins and Jordan.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Dec 23, 2017 -> 09:14 PM) And Kassius Robertson who shoots over 40% from 3 couldn't make a shot. The better team didn't win tonight, but I don't mean to say Mizzou deserved it. Just that Illinois remains awful and Mizzou lost to an awful team. That f***ing sucks. For all of Mizzou's supposed talent, they probably remain on the bubble this year and games like this won't help the cause. Cuonzo Martin. That's why. Dude is an awful coach. Illinois' best players are freshmen outside of Leron Black. Can't wait to add Ayo to this young group.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 23, 2017 -> 07:17 PM) I strongly believe it'll be Jeter when he's eligible. 0 chance that'll happen. Griffey is probably the best player ever. I'm probably in the minority, but I thought Jeter was vastly overrated, especially defensively.

@MaxWildstein 25m25 minutes ago Source: #Pirates have been receiving calls from other teams on Gerrit Cole, besides #Yankees, maybe #WhiteSox and #STLCards, so he’s expected to eventually be dealt. First: @jcrasnick.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Dec 22, 2017 -> 10:05 AM) Who might they try to dump with a bad contract? Prado.

Jerry Crasnick @jcrasnick The #WhiteSox and #Marlins recently discussed Christian Yelich, but never got much traction. Chicago has a deep enough farm system to match up with Miami, but talks failed to advance beyond the "routine dialogue'' stage. Rival executives think the #Marlins will hang onto Yelich. Think this deserves it's own thread. Love the aggressiveness from Hahn. Never hurts to try.

@JonHeyman 36m36 minutes ago #SFGiants need 1, 2 or maybe 3 outfielders. so here's a rundown of the many, many options via trades and/or free agency. Giants looking for multiple outfielders and have had interest in Avi. My proposal would be Ramos, Reynolds, and Fernandez for Avi. Or would you guys be willing to take on Pence for one year and relief some money for the Giants in hopes to get better prospects back and then flip Pence at the deadline?

QUOTE (Quin @ Dec 19, 2017 -> 02:12 AM) Gotta get Lopez and Portis out of here ASAP. I don't mind Portis. Think he can be a serviceable big man off the bench. We have to get Lopez and Niko out of here.

I was happy with last night's show. Jinder still sucks in the ring, but overall the show kept me entertained.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 17, 2017 -> 06:25 PM) A RB can leap over line of scrimmage, reach the ball across the goal, have it knocked away, but still be a TD cuz he had control as it broke the plane. How was that diff besides James not being a RB? That is exactly what I was thinking.

NFL continues to be a laughing joke. What in the world is a catch

Went on the O's board and they have a member claiming to be in the know saying this: "No idea on specific offers. Haven’t been told yet. Just that offers got significantly better last night and talks really progressed. Haven’t seen anyone say anything on social media yet or any reports out there, but it will be coming."

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 17, 2017 -> 11:04 AM) "Giolito, Cease/Hansen , Burger, and Bummer....I think this is a package that gives the Os something to sell the fans" http://forum.orioleshangout.com/forums/ind...o/&page=116 Thought this was amusing. That's a package he would get with 5 years on his deal. They also think Tim Beckham is better than Tim Anderson lol

The most I would offer for Machado is Cease and Adams.

Kopech isn't going anywhere fellas

With Kopech, Hansen, Dunning, Guerrero, Adams, and Stephens on the horizon. I'm excited about the Sox future

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 05:40 PM) LATEST: The #Orioles want to trade Manny Machado and will only not occur if Peter Angelos vetoes it. They won't trade directly with the Yankees and want confidence he doesn't end up on-traded there. Risky, and potentially messy. O's fans understandably nervous. https://twitter.com/DanClarkSports/status/941451749121912832 So, they want top prospects, won't let teams be given a 72 hour window to talk contract extension, and want teams not to trade him to the Yankees. Price goes down if it were me.

QUOTE (Quin @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 05:11 PM) Wut No Kopech and no Giolito is my guess.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 02:19 PM) Didn't Nightengale also tweet the day that we wouldn't flip him? He's all over the place... Nightengale did not say this. Richard Justice did.
