Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 1m carlos rodon has agreement with #chison for more than $6.45M. on way for physical, as @jgravleyWRAL 1st reported

Sox sign Rodon

Whoever is blaming RV on this loss is delusional. Of course you take out Sale at 108 pitches with 2 outs in the 8th. Petricka is our best arm out of the pen so far this season and he just had an off night, same with Guerra. Bullpen blew the game tonight, not RV.

Please bring him back to Chicago. As long as I don't have to see Flowers at the plate anymore.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 12:56 PM) Seattle is perhaps the worst park for hitters in baseball. Guys like Ackley may have a bat that will better fit in at USCF than at SafeCo. I would certainly take a flier on him as a throw in on a deal. Trading Viciedo for a RP is just dumb when that is really the only thing that our farm system develops consistently. Cotillo mentioned names like Leone, Farquhar and Maruer are names that could be mentioned. I'd take Farquhar and Maurer easily. Maurer can develop into a starter.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 12:25 PM) Homers for Wilkins and Miguel Gonzalez. If Sox trade Dunn, I wouldn't be opposed to see Wilkins up.

Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 9m If #Mariners make a move, bullpen piece could be involved. Names like Leone, Maurer, Farquhar make sense. I wouldn't mind Maurer and Farquhar at all.....I'd develop Maurer into a starter.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 11:16 AM) Where are you going to play Franklin, with this trade? You're dealing Ramirez as well? Ackley's a natural 2B, but he has been playing LF for the Mariners. Do you honestly want someone who hits like Gordon Beckham playing a corner OF spot? YIKES. Franklin would be fine if he could play SS everyday, but he's probably better suited for 2B or 3B. We have five million 2B prospects, so this whole thing doesn't make much sense. He's kind of like Dan Uggla-Lite. I agree Caufield. Ackley and Franklin do not fit on this team. Its pitching prospects, outfielders or catchers.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 10:22 AM) I guess I'd be okay with a catcher AND a pitcher, but I'm still not going to be particularly happy if Beckham and DeAza are both still around next year because we couldn't find someone who would take them off our hands. No way Beckham is on the team next year, not with Johnson Semien and Sanchez ready for the show soon.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 10:18 AM) Why? Don't you want to aim higher than that? Ask for SS Chris Taylor and C Tyler Marlette. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/p...id=taylor004chr http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/p...id=marlet000tyl If they trade Viciedo to the Mariners, expect at least 1 pitcher back.

Chris Cotillo @ChrisCotillo · 10m Buzz this morning: #Mariners could be close to making a trade. Possibly Viciedo???

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 07:01 AM) 2-3 teams looking at Danks with Yankees showing the most interest. Gotta be looking at their catching, right? Are they still interested even after acquiring McCarthy?

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 06:58 AM) Toronto has been scouting Beckham for the last week per Levine I wonder which route Toronto is going to take. The expensive long term route with Hill or Prado, or somewhat cheaper and better defensively Beckham.

QUOTE (Tmar @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 09:55 PM) Anybody know if Masterson is on the DL? Yes, right hip inflammation I believe.

Freudenberg continues to impress. 6IP 3H 0ER 2BB 5K. I see a Kanny promotion in his future. 21 years old.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 08:59 PM) Tank has become a walkin' machine. Definitely has gotten better at taking walks.

I think DeMichele and Coats have earned themselves a promotion to AA

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 08:30 PM) I played DIII baseball 8 years ago, I honestly think I could go up there and put up a similar line to what he's done the past 100 PA or so. For one thing, I'd f***ing chock up on the bat a little bit and look dead red fastball every single time. His approach is awful for a guy with that slow of a bat. Where'd you play? I stopped playing 2 years ago at Aurora University. Tore my labrum.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 08:20 PM) Brett Austin had a rough start? I feel like he's had a nice line very time I looked. He was struggling a bit, striking out a lot. But has since cut down on the Ks

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 08:01 PM) With Montas, Hawkins and Anderson all out....our minor league watch list is pretty limited. Horrid Johnson starts, Jared Mitchell recriminations, Trey M., May and Barnum in Winston-Salem, Tyler Danish and then Sanchez/Semien/Saladino/Davidson in Charlotte. Angel Sanchez is the 2nd most exciting pitcher at the moment, after Tyler. Beck sucks. Lol stop it. Beck doesn't suck. He still has a 3.5 ERA in AA. First you say you want Allen Craig now you say Angel Sanchez is the 2nd most exciting pitching prospect in the minors currently after Sox got him a week ago. Come on man.

Two spot on throws from Ross.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 07:38 PM) Yeah, let's trade for a 30 year old outfielder with an OPS under 700, because one De Aza isn't enough. And he's right handed...

88 mph fastball right down the middle and Tyler is late on it. Later strikes out in the at bat. Wow, he is so unbelievably bad.

Who saw Parent completely grab his package twice? lol

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 06:14 PM) Because they're showcasing Beckham for a trade, lol. Eaton's really been slumping his last ten games again. Such an inconsistent season from him. Has to be considered a bit of a disappointment so far, but not quite to the point where he's not projected to start again in 2015 (and honestly, who else do we even have to replace Viciedo and DeAza, let alone Adam?) I stopped reading after that....
