QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 15, 2014 -> 02:38 PM) so am I reading this right. he is now a free agent in name only. is he restricted to the int't slot and money?? Yes

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 1, 2014 -> 12:29 PM) http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/11/2014...redictions.html Top 50 free agents from mlbtraderumors with predictions. For the Sox: Victor Martinez, Colby Rasmus and Luke Gregorson. For the Cubs: Jon Lester, Russell Martin, David Robertson, Justin Masterson and Jake Peavy. Martinez and Gregorson yeah, but Rasmus makes me puke!!!

http://www.inquisitr.com/1519761/boston-re...ors-chris-sale/ If the Sox ever did this I would take the most drastic measure ever and.....become a Cubs fan. Yikes did I really say that, lmao!!!

In yesterday's MLB traderumors chat Billy Beane said his next target is 2B and asked if he should go after Gordon Beckham or Ben Zobrist and if Tom Millone would be enough to get either one....hell yes!!!!

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 04:45 PM) He f***in sucks at cheating. Pineda has a lot to learn...what a dumba**. Maybe some will say "so what" to this next statement, but I'm just an old school baseball guy...will someone please show the kid how to wear a baseball hat....this is the freakin Big Leagues kid show some respect for the game!!!

Thanks, I totally forgot that they were added during the winter meetings before the draft!!

One name missing from the list that surprises me is Carlos Sanchez!!

I'd love to see Tanaka with the White Sox, but his wife is an actress and wants to be where she can pursue her acting career... seems like LA or New York would be the place to be for that.

Before hiring Ventura there was talk of offering Paulie a player/manager position...so is this year a learning experience for him being.. able to sit back with Ventura in the dugout on days off?

In the Chat at MLBTraderumors.com Rick Hahn asked 2 questions: 1. Who will get me the best trade value for a catcher, DeAza or Viciedo? Answer was: DeAza 2. If I trade Dunn how much of his contract will I have to eat? Answer: 10mil So far I love the moves Hahn has made, but don't think he is done yet.

I was really excited when I 1st heard that the Sox were getting Eaton and Howie Kendrick...now only Eaton for Hector? I don't have time right now to read all 30 pages of this thread cuz I have to run, but what happened to Kendrick in the deal?

Why is there interest in Franklin from Seattle...a .225 average with a .303 OBP? We have enough guys who can't hit .250 or better.

I think Brown would be a nice addition, but at what cost? I also see that the Marlins are willing to part with LoMo....hmm.

At this point so would I Jose. I'm just getting really frustrated watching all these deals getting done while we sit here content with a roster that produced 99 losses...I just don't get it and am losing interest quickly and need to vent somewhere!!!!! Winter meetings will be another yawn at this rate....

OMG...even the Astros are busy getting Dexter Fowler.....didn't we need a CF!!! This is depressing watching everyone else doing something...THE ASTROS, let's get going Hahn!!!!

I agree with you BigHurt...just look at some of the insane contacts handed out so far this year to POS players. I'm blown away by what's being handed...unbelievable!!

On MLBtraderumors.com the Padres were said to be looking for a LH bat/ and or a reliever. What would the Sox send them? When I 1st saw that I damn near jumped out my seat praying they would take Dunn...I know, it's just a dream!!!

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Nov 24, 2013 -> 12:30 PM) Really doesn't seem like a St. Louis move. I hope he struggles because he doesn't deserve that money.. I agree...sounds like a bad move for St. Louis. I can't believe what teams are willing to pay for these Free Agents this year and even harder to believe what some of these guys are asking.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 20, 2013 -> 10:23 AM) The Sox aren't going to dump people just because they are unpopular with teh fans. It was wishful thinking on my part.....thank God I never see anyone bashing Dunn, ADA or Flowers on this board!! Maybe they can trade the Axe for something, anything, lol!!

I just looked at the Sox 40 man roster and found a few names that could be gone....Brent Morel {please}, Blake Tekotte {Minor League roster filler at best},Frank De Los Santos and please, please dump Dylan Axelrod {I can't watch him pitch one more inning without throwing up!!!

3B solution...David Freese!! Include him in any trade package with the Cards because it looks like he may become available this winter.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Sep 26, 2013 -> 02:28 PM) Reports that Cano seeks 10 years and $305m probably pull them out of the bidding. They can't get serious about both, and there's only one DH slot for Teixeira and ARod to share. Anyone willing to pay Cano that kind of money over 10yrs is crazy....opps, I hear the Angels calling!!!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 1, 2013 -> 05:30 AM) If no one else on the team has to hustle why should he? Well I can think of over 12 million reasons for him to hustle!!!
