Jose Abreu

QUOTE (The Mighty Mite @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 07:18 PM) Doesn't matter with Rodon, these guys are headed to the bottom of the American League with the worst record for this year, 2018 and maybe 2019. Good.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 10:36 AM) Sounds like he is throwing too many strikes. Kind of a funny problem, given that you usually here about a guy struggling to throw strikes.

Davidson

Tucker and Alvarez for Gray would be such an overpay.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 09:51 PM) I think the same. I would totally include another piece if it meant a better return. As long as it's a markedly better return. Swarzak/Kahnle/DRob have lots of value of their own, and I'd be disappointed to see one of them packaged with Todd only to land someone like Ockimey.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 07:02 PM) He's having a decent year, actually thought Cubs will get him, previous ties and all. His stats are so odd. Leads league in K:BB ratio along with having the lowest BB/9, yet he's still not pitching too well overall.

OT but A-Rod just said on FS1 that he thinks Dombrowski may trade for Miguel Cabrera

Chicago White Sox‏Verified account @whitesox The #WhiteSox have acquired minor-league infielder Yeyson Yrizarri from the Rangers in exchange for international signing bonus pool money.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 01:58 PM) I think he's been saying that since last night though...I could be confusing them though because there are so many similar handles. He said last night that we are working on a deal, just now he said we're close

Boston Strong @BostonStrong_34 Source; Red Sox are close to a deal with the White Sox for Todd Frazier. This guy is legit

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 12:36 PM) #hugwatch....... begins I hope something gets done before tonight so that the caption I wrote in the 9th inning last night would be true. (He struck out.)

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 11:58 AM) Why in the world would the White Sox make that trade? It would only make sense if he left out the prospect we were getting as a reward for taking on his contract.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 10:34 AM) Until Sanchez gets traded himself, ha. I can definitely see him packaged with Robertson to WSN due to Turner's injury.

Guillermo Celis‏Verified account @GuillermoCelis Mencioné anoche que si Boston había puesto en asignación a Sandoval, es porque “planean” algo. Hoy se intensifican pláticas por Todd Frazier My best translation: It was mentioned last night that if Boston had DFA'd Sandoval, it would have been because they "planned" something. Today talks for Todd Frazier are intensifying.

Abreu

Ockimey was my target for Frazier. Would be pleased to get him.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 07:48 PM) Capra had a herniated disc surgery today and the guy you're looking at is someone from our Dominican department... missed his name. Got it, thanks.

At game but can't tell, who's this 3rd base coach? Doesn't look like Capra.

It's pronounced "A-loy", according to Garfein

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 01:53 PM) I wouldn't trade him for that. Me neither. Deadline reliever rentals usually fetch much more.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 12:36 PM) Prospects that costs 8 figures better be good. Not some 18 year old kid in A ball with a 6 ERA *in 3 starts edit- 6 total starts between 2 levels, allowed 9 runs in first start, and in next 5 starts (between low A and A) has allowed 5.

If Washington is willing, it would be cool to see us go all out with this trade and package our top 3 for a haul. Robertson/Kahnle/Swarzak for Soto/Kieboom/Ward/Marmolejos/Garcia/throw-in

QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 12:56 AM) Here is what I would like to see Robertson to the Nationals for OF Juan Soto(A) & LHP Jesus Luzardo® - They need help even if their going to audition Feede & Romero in the BP. Frazier + $ to the Red Sox for 1B Josh Ockimey(A+) & LHP Jalen Beeks(AAA) - Red Sox just DFA'd Peralta and need help at 3B/1B this is such an obvious fit Swarzak to the Rockies for SS Garrett Hampson(A+) & 1B Brian Mundell(AA) - Everyone pushing for the post season could use a set up man thats having a career year and is only making 250k, these are two very nice depth pieces for a strong farm with out shooting for the moon like McMahon. Cabrera + $ to the Royals for SS Nicky Lopez(AA) - Royals need help in LF and DH and there is familiarity here, Melky if his remaining 7.5 is paid off should net you a solid prospect like Lopez, he fits what the FO is trying to do position player wise. Love it. I hope we get returns like these. Given Frazier's June, I now think that he could haul in Ockimey/Beeks.

Re: "in case he internets" While I'm sure he has visited Soxtalk before, (it's really quite common for FO people to check message boards to gauge fan satisfaction, and Soxtalk in particular is the first result on Google) Merkin or some writer also said that he has a Twitter account under an alias that he apparently uses regularly. I've always wondered which account it is.

I'd go: Moncada Jimenez Kopech Robert Giolito Cease Dunning Lopez *big drop-off* Flete Basabe Diaz Rose
