QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 09:00 PM) MLB fans? Rosenthal followers, I guess. didn't know how to phrase it but what I just wrote was probably better lol

Take this with a grain of salt, but a bunch of MLB fans are claiming that Rosenthal tweeted and then quickly deleted something about progress being made on Quintana to the Cubs. edit: and it's not a fake account or anything, they subscribe for notifications when the real Rosenthal tweets and all claim to have gotten this notification

WSD posted a video discussing Jimenez/Cease/Q but I can't tell if it's sarcastic

Retweeted by rabbit: barstool carl‏ @barstoolcarl Dylan Cease scratched again. Feels like this is to accommodate high up MLB execs at other teams to get a look at him. Big hunch.

whitesoxdave‏ @barstoolWSD Haven't heard anything at all today buttttt apparently Cease was just scratch from his start tonight

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 01:51 PM) I am trying to get some work done today since I got nothing done yesterday. I have no reason to believe anything I said yesterday has changed. There are multiple teams involved and Sox are expecting to get to the final stages of offers sooner than later. How dare you?

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 01:46 PM) Lopez. Giolito probably doesn't pitch in the majors this year, and if he does it is a couple starts in September. Lopez isn't doing that well himself, though.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 01:31 PM) Really expected something to go down today. Still could, but all seems pretty quiet. Prior to the Sale/Eaton trades, Hahn has preferred to strike late at night...

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 10:17 AM) Just to be clear, once the national guys tweet about it, the deal is basically done (in our experience with this FO). ' You guys may as well basically ignore the twitterverse. This is how it works now, Rabbit and Dave provide all the build-up, and then when a national guy jumps in, it's done. Something's definitely brewing.

Yolmer Sanchez to LAD (assuming they want to upgrade from Chase Utley's corpse) for D.J. Peters and Andrew Sopko Following this, call up Yoan Moncada to start at 2B

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 11:22 PM) B-Mad‏ @brianm731 Rockies, Brewers, and Dodgers coming hard (*hardest) for Quintana right now. Braves too. Seems "early" for them, but cost controlled front of line starter is important. System ripe with pitching, but want "sure thing" QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 11:33 PM) This guy has no sources. QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 11:37 PM) Can't tell if he does but figured I'd post since his claims aren't at all outlandish. FWIW, a couple Sox fans who I trust vouched for this guy and said that he's given correct intel in the past.

QUOTE (peanut33tillman @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 11:58 PM) This would be underwhelming without Brinson as the headliner, especially if they had to throw in Swarzak. I think a deal with the Brewers will land them Brinson. The mere fact that things are heating up, with many teams interested, is enough for me to know that the Sox have received an offer they'd be content with and are going around to see if anyone will top it. This assures me that we will get our "headliner", whether it's Brinson, Albies/Acuna, Frazier, etc.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 07:17 PM) Is the title of the thread everyone is talking in really that important. The title is still true, nothing is confirmed, people are talking *shrug* I understand, I was just thinking more of the casual poster/guest who isn't in this thread and has just been checking Trade Winds from time to time. No big deal though, I don't mean any disrespect

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 07:13 PM) But nothing is confirmed At the very least, McGuffey's original tweet has been confirmed (assuming that the "unconfirmed" part was people being wary of his credibility). I think Rabbit's recent tweet (If Jose pitches for the Sox again it's likely because of a sudden, significant impasse) is a concrete rumor

Mods/admins, can we get a new title? I think we're definitely past the unconfirmed stage given all the reporters who have jumped on this

Rob Young‏ @RobertHYoung We are in full blown ? mode on Q. I'm keeping an eye on Lewis Brinson from MIL, Ozzie Albies/Ronald Acuna from ATL, and Kyle Tucker from HOU

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 06:57 PM) I'm really not a McMahon fan to be honest. His AAA stats scream outlier to me and he's never really been that good otherwise. From a pure talent standpoint, I'd argue Pint is the best prospect in the deal. From a pure talent standpoint, yes. But aside from his dismal 2016 season, McMahon has always been solid. This year, of course, he has taken a great leap forward, but I don't think it's a fluke.

My guess after those Rabbit tweets is it's agreed upon late tonight, announced tomorrow.

Brian Bilek‏ @BrianBilek_ Mulitple teams have been involved in the talks for Quintana: MIL, ATL, HOU, NY, COL & more I'm sure. My opinion/guess: #Brewers.

Brian Bilek‏ @BrianBilek_ Report: "If Jose (Quintana) pitches for the Sox again it's likely because of a sudden, significant impasse..." #WhiteSox

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 06:44 PM) Change Tapia to Dahl and you might have something there, but no way I accept a deal where Tapia is the best prospect. Rankings aside, I'd argue that McMahon is the best prospect in that deal

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 06:42 PM) It's going to be the Braves and I am not a huge fan of their prospects Outside of Albies/Acuna/Maitan, I agree. Their pitching prospect depth is good but I'm sure we'll (rightfully) be targeting position players, and they may not give up any of the big 3.

More Dave: whitesoxdave‏ @barstoolWSD PSA: If you DM me (looking at about 50 of you) looking for Sox info I'm obligated to just ignore the DM, just have fun the next few days --------------------------- "few days"...
