Jose Abreu

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 (raBBit @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 10:09 PM) Trump is beating Hillary is due to racism? Maybe it's just because she's corrupt to the core and the country is done with corrupt, professional public "servants." No, I acknowledged that the majority of Trump supporters are tired of the system and want a change. I just think people are underestimating how many of his supporters are actually racists, sexists, etc. Sure, it's a minority, but there are tons of them (kind of an oxymoron but not really given our country's population). FWIW, I am very anti-Hillary, but I loathe Trump.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 10:04 PM) I think we underestimated how fed up people were in this country as I think there are a lot of people voting trumpncause they hate our politicians. Not because they agree with Trump but purely because they hate what our politicians had turned into. I agree that many, perhaps a majority, of Trump voters share those thoughts. I also believe that inherent racism and/or sexism in states that tend to vote Republican is a large cause of his popularity.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 09:59 PM) I am sad. A bunch of people without the internet who only get local channels just elected a President because he dislikes non whites as much as they do. What's funny is how true this actually is. People severely underestimate the racism in this country. This is a sad, sad day. Kids my age are now left to deal with this mess.

Time for the wall!!!! No more trade!!! Re-ban gay marriage!!! Legalize sexual assault!!! Yeah!!! /semi-green

2016- the year American citizens chose to go back on all the progress that has been made in the last century, and, in doing so, determined their own fate.

I hate Florida.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 08:18 PM) So if Trump does win this country will have elected a racist, fascist, sexist candidate who did nothing but lie his entire campaign and who's only stated policies are his ridiculous tax policy and his racist policies. Murica
