Jose Abreu

Might as well let him be a tank reliever

I understand that this may put LA over the top, but in terms of the trade itself, I just feel as though the baseball world is generally overvaluing 3 months of Darvish and underrating Calhoun as a prospect.

Rangers hit this one out of the park. 2 lottery tickets and a young player with high-HR, high OBP, high walk, low strikeout potential for 3 months of a pitcher having a mediocre at best season? Incredible.

False alarm on the Charlotte stuff, whoever was tweeting about it thought the game was tonight at 6:00 when it's really tomorrow at 6:00

Lance McCullers to the DL.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 03:14 PM) Wow. Any word for what? Would have loved to added him. I remember we were all praying he was the ptbnl in the Crain deal. Tobias Myers

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 03:14 PM) Hahn said soon, which could easily mean in a week or two for Lopez I agree with you, but with less than 3 hours to first pitch, wouldn't they have announced him as starter by now?

I just don't get why there's still no announced starter for Charlotte's game in 3 hours.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 03:04 PM) Give it an hour. It's over. Dan Hayes said we didn't do anything

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 02:45 PM) We will find out in 20 but I guess I imagine Gonzo being had for a bag of baseballs (especially since Hahn is looking for an excuse to call up Lopez) so if he's not moved then no one was a player at all. But if Jaime Garcia can get Littell...

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 02:08 PM) Considering the Yankees were very much in on Quintana as well, would you have accepted this return for Q? I would not have. Easy no

QUOTE (GoGoSox2k2 @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 01:54 PM) OMG just over one hour to the deadline and Hahn is going to stand pat at the deadline once again...... lol had to say it But on a serious note I wish we could find the thread from last year on this day when everyone was absolutely bashing Hahn for standing pat and only moving Duke last year.... Oh what a difference 365 a year can make. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=100262 http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=100303

Nori Aoki and Teoscar Hernandez is what TOR got. Yikes, that's pretty good

Bob Nightengale The #Royals in talks with #Bluejays about acquiring another starter, JA Happ/Marco Estrada

If I were a GM of a contending team that needed left handed relief help, I would seriously consider trading for Holland and converting him to a reliever. He'd basically come for free anyway

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 12:09 PM) Any new tweets regarding anyone on the roster? Nada

Abreu

Why was Clarkin scratched yesterday?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 30, 2017 -> 12:32 PM) The remaining players all have contracts and futures to fight for, outside of maybe Abreu. "maybe"

4-5 in his last game for the Sox

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 30, 2017 -> 11:08 AM) He is taking way too many strikes at this point. So far I am wondering about his pitch recognition, or if he is too hesitant to swing. Maybe he knows he has a "free-swinging, strikes out a lot" label and is just overcorrecting.

That's a great trade for Minnesota. Littell is quite good
