QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 14, 2015 -> 12:04 PM) Bob Elliott of the Toronto Sun reports that if Mark Buehrle decides to return for another season, it would be for the St. Louis Cardinals. The veteran southpaw, who will turn 37 in March, has hinted that he'd return for a 17th major league season if he was able to find a guaranteed contract. According to Elliott, the only team he's interested in pitching for would be the Cardinals, his home town team. In the wake of Lance Lynn's season-ending injury, there could be a potential fit.

We plan to enforce those rights,” an MLB spokesman said in an e-mail Thursday. David Ortiz is a righty??! I'll be honest, I've never played Fallout. It's obviously all the hype right now, and all my friends are getting it, but I don't know if I want it.

Again, why would the Rockies, or anyone, want LaRoche...

Bulls win. Hate to say it, but Hinrich was very good in Brooks' role. Terrific game from Noah.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a Sox/Colorado/Diamondbacks 3-way trade. Some good matchups there.

As long as there's still a place to talk about non-Sox offseason news, then temporarily closing it would be fine

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 12:49 PM) I wouldn't waste your time daydreaming about big time free agents coming here. Exactly. Wade, Bosh, LeBron, Howard, Melo... we should be used to it by now

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 08:46 AM) Jurickson Profar is a guy that I would absolutely love on the Sox. He's still extremely young, cheap, and talented. Injuries are the only thing that have slowed him down. I wonder if Montas could get him in a 1-for-1 deal. Surprised he's still only 22. Thought he was around 26, but he's been a top prospect since he was 18, so it makes sense. I don't think Montas is enough for him, though.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 08:26 AM) I would've given up a similar package for Simmons. Montas + Danish + Sanchez + some rando. Guess we'd have to beat it a little -- maybe EJ + Montas + Sanchez + rando or something, but I wish we did it. I think including Tim Anderson in the deal would make sense, since Andrelton would be taking his spot. Would Anderson and Montas for Simmons have worked? Or is that an overpay?

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 08:09 AM) A lot of people certainly seem to think adding a Reds or 2 will turn this mid 70s win team into a World Series contender. Nobody thinks that.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 05:52 AM) David Murphy? Isn't he an outfielder? Yes, he is. And if he meant Daniel, then that defense at third would be terrible...

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 01:33 AM) I'm sorry, what now? You would be willing to give up a 21 year old Teravainen for a 38 year old Iginla? You have now revoked your privileges to ever be critical of any Blackhawks roster move, sorry LDF. Those are the rules. Yeah, LDF, I've seen you mention throwing in Teuvo in multiple deals for players who aren't really good... I don't think you realize his potential.

Adam LaRoche probably wouldn't do any better at 1st for Colorado than Ben Paulsen, whose costs is about 3% of LaRoche.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 12, 2015 -> 04:24 PM) They do have a hole at 1B. LaRoche has had more success in the NL, and on a 1 year deal, if he does well, they can flip him at the deadline. And like you said, it balances out the money. It balances out the money, but no team in baseball would have interest in making Adam LaRoche their starting 1B.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 12, 2015 -> 04:15 PM) Since I made an FA prediction, I will now make a trade prediction. Nothing too specific, but I really do think we match up with the Dbacks very well. We give them a pitcher, Quintana or Erik Johnson, and we get one or more of their extra OF and 3B/SS types. I would love Inciarte or Pollock (Pollock for Quintana straight up maybe) , maybe Peralta if those were not available, and Brandon Drury really interests me as well. I agree that we should trade with Arizona, but you're definitely underrating Pollock.

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Nov 12, 2015 -> 08:12 AM) I was against trading Q for a while, but I've come to grips with the fact that we aren't going to get the help we need without trading a significant piece. As of right now we have Eaton, Abreu and Melky as position players that are above average major league players. That's pretty depressing to think about. And who's coming to help in house any time soon besides (hopefully) Anderson? Do I want to see Q traded? Absolutely not, he's 1 of the better young lefties in the game. But I also REALLY don't want to see us to sign some overpaid, mediocre vets and suffer through another 80 win season. Maybe there is another way, but I think it will be really though and take at least 1, probably 2, rebuilding years. Great post. If we really want to contend next year, we're probably going to have to trade one of our good starting pitchers, unless Hahn can get really creative.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 12, 2015 -> 07:58 AM) Dan Hayes was on CSN last night from the GM meetings, and he said Eric Johnson is on the block. I wonder if he has any real trade value
