QUOTE (hi8is @ Nov 18, 2016 -> 01:32 PM) Moved Sale today. Let's pull the trigger on this. Curtesy, -Rick Hahn Add Jones and we have a deal.

QUOTE (flavum @ Nov 18, 2016 -> 12:11 PM) Baseball America is updating this as teams announce... http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/40-m...5ZKYjCE4zSwX.97 I've also seen the Rockies added former Sox Yency Almonte. Pisses me off that we traded that kid for Tommy Kahnle

QUOTE (hi8is @ Nov 18, 2016 -> 11:26 AM) Gotta have Burhler ( whatever his name is, I still can't even spell Burhlie ). Also, replace Calhoun for Verdugo. Rizzo is putting together a package for Q that has two top ten prospects in the league. Cheers, -Rick Hahn No deal. Come down on your price.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Nov 18, 2016 -> 11:16 AM) Quintana for a Urias based package. Two more of your top prospects and two more lottery tickets. That's the price. Might go up as others are bringing me offers for Q. Sale, gotta have Segar. I'm waiting on a Trea Turner based offer right now. Where's my yo-hoo milk? -Rick Hahn Urias, Puig, Bellinger, Alvarez, Lux, and Calhoun for Quintana and Frazier

QUOTE (hi8is @ Nov 18, 2016 -> 11:04 AM) I've yet to be blown out of the water by any offers and considering Sale being the premium talent he is with massive surplus value, it may be considerable for us in getting young talent who has preformed well at the major league level already. Now, with that said, and to potentially clear the field a bit - so to say - we'd want Segar to head any Sale package. Happy Selig? f***ing retired commissioners. Better than Joe West thou. Yuck! -Rich Hahn Seager is off limits. I will put Urias as the the center piece of any trade.

Dodgers and GM Friedman are interested in Sale, Frazier, and Jones.....

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Nov 18, 2016 -> 09:55 AM) This is my favorite gif of all time because of Lamar Odom's reaction lol. Btw, I agree with DA.

I'll take Friedman

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Nov 16, 2016 -> 03:58 PM) Many reports saying it's done, going to Illinois. Sigh of relief. The class is really really good now. Now Groce has that pitch to sell to recruits.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Nov 16, 2016 -> 02:46 PM) Does this kid actually have legit sources that speak to him directly or does he just cherry pick from around Twitter? Isn't he like a sophomore in college? He has legit sources

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 9m9 minutes ago Sources: #Dodgers, #Tigers have been in contact regarding possible Ian Kinsler trade. Kinsler has partial no-trade clause. @MLB @MLBNetwork

QUOTE (flavum @ Nov 16, 2016 -> 11:53 AM) Exhibition games in Milwaukee before opening day. https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/798934175730515972 Already planning to get our fantasy league draft there (guys live in Milwaukee from league) to get a box and host our draft there before the game.

I think we won the Derrick Rose trade......

Braves are aggressively swapping offers for starting pitchers. Rival officials think Braves and Astros will add the most help this winter. https://twitter.com/Buster_ESPN/status/798941952020344832 WSL posted this is another thread, but I think it deserves to be in here too. If they include Swanson and Inciarte, I'd think about it.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 05:28 PM) Callis talking about a package from Boston of JBJ, Moncada or Benintendi, Devers and Kopech. JBJ, Benintendi, Devers and Kopech and you'd have to pick my drool up off the floor. I'd do that and flip JBJ to Houston....

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 05:26 PM) I'd rather have Verdugo and Bellinger than Mazara and Gallo. Gallo just screams bust to me. I agree with you, but you can't teach Gallo's power. He puts up Todd Frazier numbers, I would be completely fine with.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 05:24 PM) I edited my post to include that snippet I didn't read before I posted this. I'd still rather trade Sale to the Dodgers to get Urias and Q to Texas or Boston.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 05:20 PM) http://m.rangers.mlb.com/news/article/2089.../?tcid=tw_share Here come the Rangers, as we all expected. A package around Odor, Mazara and Gallo would excite me

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 4m4 minutes ago Heard same as @mlbbowman: #Braves looking at #Athletics’ Gray as well as #WhiteSox’s Sale, #Rays’ Archer. Also could sign third FA starter.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 01:43 PM) Stan Bowman trading Antoine Vermette for a 1st round pick was a horrible deal on its own - but the guy helped bring the Hawks another Stanley Cup. It's not always about winning the trade when you're going for a championship. Another good example. Relief pitchers in Miller and Chapman for crying out loud got the teams best prospect in each deal. If Sale doesn't, I'm calling for Hahn, KW, and JR's head. I don't care if Urias is "supposed" to be that good. There's always a risk with young pitchers.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 01:42 PM) The Sox have all of the leverage. There are not many Sale level pitchers in baseball. There are even fewer that are available. If other teams dont want to pay, then the Sox shouldnt trade. There is 0 urgency for the Sox. Not to mention part of the price of acquiring Sale is also the value of not letting your competitor get him. Exactly. The Sox have no need to trade Sale. If I'm not getting your top prospect plus, 3-5 other solid prospects, you're team is not Chris Sale or Todd Frazier in the same deal.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 01:31 PM) I think this is a poor way to evaluate a potential trade. You have to look at the entire package and not just the centerpiece. Honestly, it probably doesn't matter, because I don't think Friedman will give up Urias. Hope I'm wrong, but I know I wouldn't if I was Friedman unless it was practically a straight-up swap. A half year of success cancels out a perennial cy young contender, ok. Sox would need at least 1 guy with potential to be a perennial all-star. Urias is that guy. De Leon, the next best pitching prospect will be turning 25 with 0 MLB experience. What happens with your quantity amount of players if they don't pan out? We had some on here saying we overpaid for Frazier when the highlight of that deal was 2 months of Trayce Thompson. Look at what the Reds got for Chapman compared to what the Yankees got for him. They got a 4th outfielder, a light hitting 2B, and another player. There is 0 reasons that Urias should not be included in this deal

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 01:24 PM) I think the central theme here is that if the White Sox aren't getting a teams top prospect, plus 3 to 4 other really high quality minor leaguers, the White Sox have lost the deal. My hope is that with one of the least likely teams to trade with the White Sox having won the 2016 World Series, and a lot of interest from the top teams around baseball in Sale, both the pressure and the bids to get Chris Sale will have to rise. Think about the view for each of these squads: Boston gets to put Chris Sale behind David Price. Dodgers get to run Clayton Kershaw and Chris Sale to start a playoff series. As a playoff team, you could have to face Sale and Kershaw 5 times in a seven game series. Atlanta is looking to make a big leap to sell a fairly unwanted new stadium here in a few short years. Houston is looking to take the next step by adding veteran star power to their team The Yankees missed the playoffs last year, and are becoming devoid of star power We only need one of those teams to push all in, and it forces the rest to push in or know that they let Chris Sale go to competition. Chris Sale is the #1 on 4 of those 5 teams. If Chris Sale isn't worth the top prospect from teams, that tells me that team doesn't want to win right now. Stop wasting the Sox time and offer what is deserved for a top 5 pitcher on the best contract in baseball.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 01:13 PM) Thanks Bruni. If I am Friedman, I am not sure I can give up 6 years of Urias + a lot more for 3 years of Sale. That being said, Friedman is one of the best executives ever with no trophies to show for it. Putting Sale behind Kershaw can make him feel a lot better about winning a championship or two over the next three years. Exactly, championships can cure all problems. Cubs fans didn't like giving up that much for Chapman, but it won them a WS. Kershaw, Sale, Maeda, McCarthy, Ryu is a hell of a 5. I can't say enough that if Urias is not in the deal, it's a loss for the Sox.
