Jose Abreu

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 08:42 PM) Also, without seeing entire offer, hard to say this would be settling. The headliners are strong and plausible with a system capable of a full trade with good depth, its why the Nats are a very good team to be working right now to both finalize a deal and spark a bidding war. But if we want Turner, we should be able to get him. Sale's value is too high for us to not be able to get our top target.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 08:38 PM) This is a leverage play. How so

I don't get why we're settling. We should have the leverage.

We better trade Quintana for more hitting after this

Nice try, Stark

Rosenthal bomb- Sources: Legitimate chance of Sale trade to #Nationals. Robles, Giolito would go to #WhiteSox. Teams haggling over final pieces in deal.

I don't get the benefits of the PS4 Pro over the regular PS4 other than 4K capabilities.

Buster OlneyVerified account ‏@Buster_ESPN Total speculation:If the Chris Sale asking price drops, BOS will have most significant combination of motivation/prospects to finish a deal.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 3, 2016 -> 08:26 PM) Has anyone been consistently right on their predictions this off-season? They weren't predictions, they were him claiming he had a source/inside information with an impeccable record. Don't know why anyone took him seriously, especially after the Obama posts.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 09:42 AM) Looking from the outside in, the fact that they are talking about moving Adam Eaton to me is a clue that there might be some smoke to all of the clubhouse stuff. But they're not. The report just said that we're more likely to move him than Abreu. For all we know, it's extremely unlikely that we move either.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 09:23 AM) Although I do agree with the post that said his skill set might erode over time. A grinder type player like him relies on speed and athleticism, and those are skills that typically get worse at or over the age of 30. Who's to say he'll still be the same player when the Sox are good again. QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 09:24 AM) Adam Eaton is my favorite player on the team. With that being said, he's a speed player and much of his value comes from his throwing arm and he's 28 years old. I think they will only trade him if they received an absolute haul in return but if that's the case I'd be fine with doing it. I'm not sure that Adam Eaton is going to be a 5-6 WAR player over the next few seasons. Even if he's a 3-4 WAR player though he's an incredible value. If he gets moved, I think we'll be pleased with the return because I can't see him moving otherwise. I don't think Eaton relies on speed that much. He's really just a good contact hitter with a great arm. Sure, his speed affects him on defense, but the marginal speed decrease that will come as he ages won't affect it that much. Even if he was some big base-stealer or speed guy, plenty of those guys still play well with age. Take Juan Pierre, for example.

A 10-day DL? Interesting, although it will take some getting used to

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Nov 30, 2016 -> 09:43 PM) Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 2m2 minutes ago Team that loses QO free agent will get pick only if player signs contract of $50M+. Pick it gets will depend upon that team’s market size. That seems... controversial

Lol, this doesn't change the whole "Obama is currently working on a deal to become a minority owner" scoop, as if he isn't currently in office...

No wonder they're non-tendering Carter.

Brewers sign Eric Thames 3/15

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 28, 2016 -> 12:18 PM) Sale will be traded in approximately 30,000 minutes. So Friday, 12/16. Not a bad guess.

I can see the Rangers getting in on a Sale trade. Sale, Abreu, and Lawrie (if they want him) for Odor, Mazara, Mendez, Taveras, and maybe Gallo

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Nov 28, 2016 -> 09:31 AM) The more I've thought about this maybe LA would take Nate Jones for Puig. I would definitely take the chance on Puig if it was just Jones. Everybody seems to think Puig is poison. Maybe you wouldn't have to give up a Robertson to acquire him. lol

QUOTE (hi8is @ Nov 27, 2016 -> 07:35 PM) Looks like the topic starters credibility just went nose diving ? Hey. maybe this means the Red Sox are indeed still in on Sale!

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 27, 2016 -> 06:56 PM) Might want to change the thread title, because this seems like complete bulls*** IMO. ^ I came here expecting actual news or discussion but just got a bunch of random political opinions

iPhone 8 rumors already swirling. My contract is up but I'm gonna wait out for the 8 rather than get the 7.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 21, 2016 -> 08:23 PM) What? Homophobia is not gender specific. By law, in America at least, they committed sexual assault. I don't know the law in DR but we'll see if the laughing victim presses charges on his friends. What I meant is that it doesn't matter that they're all the same gender. It's still sexual assault.
