Jose Abreu

QUOTE (Scoots @ Feb 20, 2018 -> 07:12 PM) Does anyone know how legit this rumor is or is it just pure speculation Legit rumor, if you trust Morosi. The source is the anonymous NL executive

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 20, 2018 -> 06:34 PM) Not sure if this was mentioned but Rondon and Moustakas could make for an interesting club house. Depending on the deal, I would not object to signing Moustakas. No opt-out though. Which Rondon, Jose or Bruce? My guess is Bruce since he was in the same division...do they have an issue or something?

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 20, 2018 -> 12:20 PM) Morosi floats Moose to the Sox: https://www.mlb.com/news/yankees-white-sox-...kas/c-266762670 He's simply talking about fit, no real connection there. I am against it simply because I don't think Moustakas is a very good baseball player for the money he is going to get, but here we are. I'd hate this. That sounds like more than just fit to me. Also, I think this is thread worthy- I came here to post it but don't want to steal your thunder

QUOTE (wrathofhahn @ Feb 19, 2018 -> 09:25 PM) Ugh this wasn't my intention think I need to take a break from the board every thread I make gets side tracked. That was to Ron, not you. You might know that but I just wanted to make sure. I understand the point you were making in the original post.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Feb 19, 2018 -> 09:23 PM) I don't like the 13 man pitching staff. 12 is plenty. I'd normally agree, but given how bad our starters project to be overall, I think we'll need the extra arms. Especially early in the season, pre-Kopech

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Feb 19, 2018 -> 08:32 PM) If you took the video yourself nice job otherwise a waste of a view with Abreu just looking at 2 pitches. Nah, I didn't, and it probably was a waste, but I at least liked seeing Kopech's motion and movement

Here we go again

VIDEO: Michael Kopech vs. Jose Abreu

I agree completely with OP, although I think Saladino could be a surprise DFA and Smith may get traded for scraps before the season starts

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 18, 2018 -> 04:22 PM) I wouldn't be shocked if he did end up a Yankee. It just means they wouldn't be able to go long-term with Judge post-arbitration years most likely. We say the same about Harper going to the Cubs only with Bryant instead of Judge. Yeah, don't get me wrong, it's very possible that he ends up a Yankee. But all this "it's all but guaranteed, it would be the biggest shock of all time if he's not a Yankee" talk is a joke. Keep in mind that the whole "it's his dream to be a Yankee" narrative began when some porn star who happened to be a Yankees fan tweeted it out, and people ran with it because she had the blue check mark on Twitter.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 18, 2018 -> 03:22 PM) I’d avoid getting mad at anyone going through a translator. Yup. I'd love to know what he said, in Spanish, so that I can tell what he really meant. And even if he meant it exactly how it was translated, it's no issue to me.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 18, 2018 -> 02:48 PM) Nightengale is a big White Sox news guy and he even wrote if Machado isn’t a Yankee it will be the upset of all upsets. While I agree they want him, they better have a really good plan B. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/c...kees/347912002/ I love that Nightengale said that. Prior to the 2017-2018 offseason, I viewed him as a White Sox mouthpiece, but he has had an absolutely terrible track record since last October. The dude has been wrong on nearly everything. Him saying that Manny is practically already a Yankee means nothing to me

Chuck Garfien‏Verified account @ChuckGarfien Jose Abreu says he wants to steal more bases this season. Seriously.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 18, 2018 -> 01:27 PM) ? The Kevan Smith response was the answer to a question about doing this a previous season. Did you bother to read the comment he quoted at all? Excuse me for thinking that it could've been a resposne to "Eventually one or more of the NRIs are going to be added as well.", which is also part of the comment he quoted, and actually closer to the end of the quote. edit- and I know Smith isn't an NRI anymore but I figured it could've been a mistake or something

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Feb 18, 2018 -> 01:21 PM) Kevan Smith Why though? We already have Castillo and Narvaez

Chicago White Sox‏Verified account @whitesox The #WhiteSox have outrighted RHP Dylan Covey to Class AAA @KnightsBaseball. The 40-man roster is now at 39.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 16, 2018 -> 12:06 PM) Fit enough buzzwords in there? "There's no real reason to like him" from you means "He's conservative." Having talked and worked with the guy he's very nice and generous and a big Sox fan. If you think Shapiro is dumb that's more of an indictment on yourself than him. The guy is freakishly smart whether you agree with him or not. So raBBit, since you're clearly coming from a different position on him, what do you think about what I said in the original post? Where he claimed there were only 3 school shootings in January, and missed a bunch, including that pretty major one in Kentucky. Stuff like that rubs me the wrong way when he claims to be so fact-driven.

Reports of gunfire, Highline University in Washington on lockdown

I want to be able to like Ben Shapiro because I always hear about how smart and great he is. But I don't know how I can do this when I see him spewing nonsense like this. How can someone who prides himself on facts and accuracy completely omit various school shootings, such as the Jan 23rd shooting in Kentucky, killing 2 and injuring 18? What's the consensus on this guy?

I wish I were born 100 years later, or however long it takes for this to get sorted out. It really sucks growing up in this world, in this country, especially as a racial minority. I wasn't surprised in the least to learn that this guy was a member white supremacist group. Sometimes, something like this happens, or Vegas, etc. and I think that this could be the one that finally makes a change. But, if nothing happened after Sandy Hook, I think we're stuck like this until something even bigger than Vegas happens. At this rate, though, that might even be by the end of the year.

Dodgers could've traded Kemp, packaged with a prospect of course, and then signed Darvish with the new cap room. Guess nobody wanted Kemp/they didn't feel Darvish was worth the risk

DAN CLARK‏Verified account @DanClarkSports The #Orioles and #Indians spoke this past week about a potential trade for Manny Machado. https://twitter.com/DanClarkSports/status/961328256015192064

In those 1 second cuts, I figured they'd include Abreu or someone. Most teams got someone, even bad teams.

The MLB The Show 18 trailer featured, by my count, 0 White Sox players- but don't worry, a solid 75% of the video was Aaron Judge, Trea Turner, and Marcus Stroman. https://twitter.com/MLBTheShow/status/960558707846217731
