Jose Abreu

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 09:27 AM) I'm probably overreacting, but I feel like if Hahn deals Quintana and Abreu OR Frazier, this team may not win 55 games. That's a good thing. #TankForBeer #BeerMe #BlowForBeer (Seth Beer, projected #1 2018 draft pick)

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 29, 2016 -> 03:29 PM) They're going to do 7S before 8. This happens every year lol. QUOTE (MEANS @ Nov 30, 2016 -> 12:07 PM) no next year will be 10 years since the first iPhone was released so they will be doing a big overhaul and it will be the 8. Yeah, I believe they're calling it the 8 since it will be a major improvement rather than a marginal 'S' improvement. IMO, the iPhone 7 is more of a 6S^2 than a 7

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Nov 28, 2016 -> 10:29 AM) Anything specifically? I've been considering getting an iPhone, but want to make it worth it. It's either that or the Pixel for me. This video sums it up best:

Oddly quiet this morning. I'm still expecting a deal for us today, regardless of how quiet the Thursday of meetings usually is.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 08:41 AM) For Q, I'd want Martes, Tucker, Perez, and Stubbs. I think a dark horse to watch for Q is Colorado. Have a roster capable of going to the playoffs now, need a TOR starter and maybe some pen help. Anyone think you could do Q & Robertson/Jones for Rodgers/Dahl, Hoffman, Tapia, and Murphy? If we got any of Rodgers, Dahl, Tapia, or Murphy (whether in a package for Quintana, Abreu, Frazier, or a reliever), I'd be elated. Those guys have great potential.

For Q + Frazier, I'd like Martes, Fisher, K. Tucker, and P. Tucker. Maybe add Musgrove or Reed.

Random but I didn't know we signed this guy. He looks like he could have some potential.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 08:18 AM) The Sox only have 29 players on their AAA roster. They could potentially take 8 guys in this phase... Are you including guys like Moncada, Giolito, Lopez, etc?

Hope we don't lose Delmonico.

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 08:13 AM) I see the 2017 White Sox team with one of the worse offenses in MLB. Runs are going to be scarce this year. If they trade Frazier + Abreu things will only get worse. The team has already made 2 trades neither of which has improved the team offensively for the 2017 season. The 2016 team scored 3 or less runs in half their games. Does anybody think it will be better in 2017? I certainly don't see the team signing any free agents like EE from Toronto. I wouldn't be surprised to see thee 2017 payroll half of what it was in 2016. I don't think anyone really cares about the 2017 offense because this team won't contend until 2019 at the earliest. 2017 should be viewed as a tanking year for Seth Beer.

Since I started the Sale one too Eaton was only on the team for 3 years but man was it nice to have a solid, consistent bat in the leadoff spot with sneaky power, speed, high OBP, great defense and a ridiculous arm. He'll be missed.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 10:39 PM) The Cubs certainly think so. I think they could've easily won without him

That Cubs trade is just funny now

Looks like no Quintana trade tonight. Oh well.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 09:31 PM) I'd get rid of Melky now but I doubt anybody wants him. Melky for two low level prospects if anybody will bite? The Giants desperately need someone for LF. I could see them having interest.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 08:51 PM) OK, one thing we should know as Sox fans is that there is zero chance of them bidding on top line free agents when we are going to be coming off of two completely terrible season. We don't do that coming off of good seasons. I don't know why this has taken traction, but look at the White Sox free agent history, and tell me why there is any answer other than no. Please tell me why, throughout the night, you've been nitpicking at the weakest replies to your nonsensical complaints, but ignoring the common response: the rebuild is not done. We will trade more assets for position players in the very near future.

MLBN seems to think Abreu does have good value, regardless of what sabermetrics think. Abreu for Murphy and Tapia?

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 05:50 PM) Need position players including outfielders, Right now 2017 outfield is Melky/Shuck/Avi G. Why does the 2017 OF matter

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 05:45 PM) I have said for months that if you went this direction you had to do it right, and build your position players. In the two biggest deals of the off season, they have probably came out even. It is a huge failure so far. For the 4th time, there are more trades to be executed. Be patient. Q to Houston for bats could happen very soon.

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 05:41 PM) I wasn't thrilled with the return for Sale but this makes up for it. Great trade for a rebuild. My sentiments exactly. Sale trade was a 7/10 to me, this is a 10/10.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 05:40 PM) Supposedly, the Sox & Astros are far along in a deal for Q according to MLB Network. Did anyone else hear that? I caught that too.

Hahn on MLBN in a few
