QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 18, 2016 -> 09:24 AM) As Jed Hoyer: I'm looking for young cost-controlled starting pitching. I'm looking to trade Jake Arrieta. Make me some offers. Hi Jed, John Coppolella here. It's no secret that Arrieta only has one year of control left. Therefore, I'll give you Ian Anderson and Joey Wentz.

I'll take John Coppolella

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 16, 2016 -> 03:12 PM) Who says no? White Sox get: Urias, Bellinger, Verdugo, Lux, Buehler, Barnes and Puig (as a throw in) Dodgers get: Sale, Frazier, and Robertson Lot of moving parts, but would be big for both teams. The fact that I like it so much tells me LAD would probably say no.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 16, 2016 -> 03:00 PM) That's why I posted it lol. People were running with it on twitter. My bad lol Nah, I would've posted it too. I just don't think the words "rumor" or "reported" should be in the title because they got me excited for mere speculation.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 16, 2016 -> 01:41 PM) Jesus this thread title is misleading still ^ I thought it was a legit rumor but it's just a writer speculating?

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 07:09 PM) I'll fall off the bandwagon and be left behind. I believe you still build around pieces like that if they are cost controlled. And how do you suggest we do that? We've been trying for years now. The market is bleak. Selling is the most logical step.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 09:00 AM) I'm confused about Braves team makeup. Doesn't seem like they are on the cusp of contention that I expected for a trade like this. Glad they are involved but confused by this one. They want to compete in their new stadium. Just signed RA Dickey and Bartolo Colon- so they're pulling a White Sox.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 07:11 AM) I agree. It's nice to have another team interested though I guarantee that every team is interested in Chris Sale- interest isn't the issue. One thing I find interesting is that Boston has not been mentioned by beat writers lately, but the Dodgers and Braves have. Could mean something, could mean nothing.

Yeah we'd need Dansby from ATL

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 07:13 PM) If Sale trade happens, I agree on Q. Then trade Abreu If we're trading Sale and Frazier to LAD, why not package Quintana and Abreu to Boston?

Trea Turner, please! Giolito too

Urias, Verdugo, Bellinger, De Leon, Puig for Sale, Frazier or no deal. If they don't want to give Puig then that's fine, he's really a throw-in.

Per Dan Hayes Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 7m7 minutes ago Jose Abreu opted out of his guaranteed 3/$34 million deal w/ #WhiteSox and instead will go year by year in arb w/ them. Still Sox property.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 12:23 PM) I see where you're coming from. Nothing is guaranteed. Sale's arm could fall off tomorrow for all we know. All I'm saying is that they need to get a "can't miss" player as a part of the return (like a Benintendi or Bregman type), and I don't see anyone the Dodgers could offer that would fit that criteria. I'd argue that Urias fits into that Benintendi/Bregman mold

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 12:17 PM) That's the thing, Tony. There's no way for me to trust the Sox talent evaluators to make the right decisions in regards to a return on a potential Sale trade. My absolute worst nightmare is for the Sox to trade the best pitcher in franchise history, a future hall of famer, for a bunch of guys that never pan out. My fear is that we pull the trigger on a big Sale trade, but do it for a half-prospect, half-MLB player type of bunch, further establishing our halfass buying pattern. You can't contend with Quintana/Rodon/Shields/Gonzalez/trade guy, but I fear our FO believes otherwise.

Sale and Frazier to LA would surprise me. I see that as a feasible proposal for Boston, but does LA really have the firepower to pull that off?

I love Amtrak

QUOTE (hi8is @ Nov 13, 2016 -> 12:50 AM) Find it hard to believe that they'd trade for Lawrie with his injuries but it's an interesting thought. Something more has to be cooking since a non tender announcement is pretty standard, unless I'm incorrect in that line of thought. They're the Dodgers, that's what they do

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 11:07 AM) Exactly, that's the question. Maybe his girlfriend broke up with him, maybe his car broke down, maybe he overcooked his pizza. Like another posted already mentioned, it could be another Marquis Teague situation. I leave you with this.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 02:18 PM) There is one gigantic flaw in trading everybody for prospects. Prospects bust, so even if you do well, you still are going to have to fill in holes with competent players. Unlike the Cubs, they can't spend $400 million filling in those areas. A couple of these guys are going to have to stick around. Well if we traded Sale, Quintana, Jones, Robertson, Frazier, Cabrera, and Abreu- so basically went all out, we'd get 12-20 prospects in total. Odds are some end up as busts, but we're getting so many, we can afford it.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 11:21 PM) I just can't comprehend this...how were the polls SO WRONG? They've never been this off before. This election was unlike any other. Everything that we consider to be normal or reliable must be doubted in this race.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 10:49 PM) hillary is going to jail, this is unbelievable. lmao

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 10:30 PM) BHam's ballpark is brand new right? Yes, as is Charlotte's

CNN is reassuring me on Wisconsin
