Brb, gonna go play MLB The Show as the new and improved Blue Jays. Expect to put up a 20 spot.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 03:28 PM) Do you think this gives a boost of confidence to the 25 guys in the locker room? yes, but barely

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 03:29 PM) They do have the same number of wins as us and 1 fewer team in front of them for the 2nd WC spot (although 1 of the teams in front of the White Sox is the Tigers who sold off). So what? They're 7.5 GB as opposed to 3.5.

Lots of talk about this in "The Disappointment Thread", but I think that if we really weren't buyers/going to trade a bat, we should have traded Samardzija.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 1m1 minute ago #WhiteSox have given the all clear. No moves before deadline.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 03:12 PM) Not disappointed...if they keep playing well the next two weeks, I'm sure they'll add another bat if needed. I'd rather have that bat for 2 months than 1

If we weren't going to get a bat, we should have traded Samardzija.

Correction- conflicting reports on Padres. Apparently, they think they can contend

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 03:07 PM) Sounds like no deals for Sox. Doug Padilla ‏@ESPNChiSox 56s57 seconds ago Deadline expires and the White Sox stay quiet. Samardzija stays. Club can still add a veteran bat in Aug. Next 3 weeks will be tough. So we'll get a bat for one month as opposed to two.

Padres about to announce a trade

Padres deal about to be announced

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 03:02 PM) Welp get ready for the Rick Hahn we tried speech. Cant wait for another one of those. "We kicked a few tires, we got pretty close on a few, but I'm confident in this team we built. This is just year one of the three year plan."

Waiting for waivers or something? They had so many assets

Anddddd there's the deadline.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 02:59 PM) I must have read it 20 minutes after. Haha yeah, I was watching ESPN or MLBN or something at 3 and they reported it right as deadline hit

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 02:58 PM) Patience guys, I remember the Peavy deal didn't surface until 20 minutes after the deadline in 2009. It was 1 minute after.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 02:56 PM) If they don't think we can compete they should be trading Samardzija. +1

Wow, Levine got something right and he got a shoutout from Rosenthal

Come on, guys... don't stand pat. Get Upton or trade Shark.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 02:51 PM) Cespedes to the Mets, means Bruce is still in play for the sox Not necessarily.

Rosenthal confirms

Levine reported it, so that means it's the opposite. He's going to.. (opposite of the Mets) the Yankees?
