QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 10:13 AM) I would not be shocked if Rodon gets moved. There have been little hints about it in the past, even yesterday when RH was talking about Sale he said he has "others" that fit the description of front line pitchers that teams can plug into playoff rotations. I know that Rodon seems like the kind of asset you hang on to, but given his agent and his performance in the second half, I could see the Sox moving him to try to build a core at the lower levels. Kopech is likely two years away as is Hansen, Burdi would be too if they decide to make him a starter. If they get the right deal for him, I think Rodon could get moved soon as well. If we trade Rodon, I don't want teams to look at his numbers and be turned off. We all know he's a better pitcher than what the numbers show, so if we're gonna trade him (which I don't think we should), we might as well wait at least until 7/31/17 so that he can build up his value.

I know he may not stick at catcher, but we do have the #2 C prospect in baseball.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 08:31 AM) I obviously used best case example, but the Astros botched a number of picks are in a much better place than before. Brady Aiken is gonna be a stud for Houston. Mark Appel too. Idiot!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 08:30 AM) This is just nuts. This mentality by some Sox fans around here is just nuts. Sale is #1 in like 10 stats in AL pitchers over the last 5 years. Jose Quintana is not, nor is he close. The Sox can get a couple of very solid prospects for him, but nothing like that. He is close, in fact. I don't know what stats you're looking at. Another thing to consider with Quintana is the extra year of control he has over Sale.

Scott Griffin ‏@griffsz 8m8 minutes ago Alabama, USA .@BhamBarons GM Jonathan Nelson at baseball winter meetings: Rumblings of Todd Frazier being dealt @whitesox not done yet @991TheGame

Quintana and Frazier (either as 1B or 3B) for Martes, K. Tucker, P. Tucker, Reed, and Fisher. Who says no?

A lot of other guys in our system have potential too- the Jake Peters of the world. Wouldn't be surprised to see someone like that become good enough to start for us.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 06:26 PM) I can't see Frazier being a fit for the Rockies at all. You're overspending on a guy who can play 3b in order to move him to 1b and then let him walk as a free agent? To be fair, Frazier has played plenty of 1B, especially in Cincy

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 05:06 PM) We'll see. I'm ordering my Moncada jersey as I type... Which number? 22 or 24?

QUOTE (daa84 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 04:16 PM) the other thing to consider is how insanely low our payroll is going to be in a year Bryce Harper will fix that.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 03:53 PM) I vote that Basabe will go down as the single most misspelled sox name on soxtalk since buehrle (no idea if i spelled that write, I always black out after the 'e') Samardzija?

Hahn talking about how difficult it was to trade a player of Sale's caliber

Wish we got another prospect back but content overall.

Dombrowski complimenting Hahn's directness and professionalism

I'm sure a lot of us are still shocked, but he really did mean a ton to this franchise for 7 seasons. 5 all-star appearances. Numbers are better than Randy Johnson's at this point in their careers. We'll miss him.

I'm just surprised we only got 4 guys. I thought we would want another lottery type guy.

Like Basabe, don't know who V. Diaz is

Basabe and V. Diaz

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 12:29 PM) Moncada starts with the Sox next year, correct? Any chance he starts in AAA? I hope he starts in AAA. He's not ready.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 12:27 PM) How's the group chat now? Lol Pretty ecstatic. As am I

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 12:25 PM) Given the lack of aggressiveness by Sox to get a catcher this offseason, I bet Swihart is involved Nightengale: Swihart not involved
