Jose Abreu

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 07:17 PM) looked like it was above his knee. meat of the thigh maybe. Good thing Sale doesn't have much of that meat

Red Sox fans are probably thinking "This Sale guy seems ok. Think we can get him or the one from last night for Swihart and Pablo?"

98, damn

I love how as it hit him and in the seconds after, he kept a completely straight face.

#WhiteSox Jose Abreu now has a 10-game hitting streak.

Keep in mind we didn't have batting practice today

Let's hope that HR doesn't get erased by rain

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 06:11 PM) The worst thing that could happen would be starting Sale and then having a two-hour delay and him losing the start completely...so that's the only thing we can really root against happening. Not only would that suck for us and his schedule, but it would also f*** with his Cy Young race stats. Innings pitched/start, etc.

Game delayed

FWIW, the Padres are 8-4 since the ASB and are just 4 below .500.

So it looks like we got a couple rumors today but that may be all. I was hoping for a trade. Might have to wait until tomorrow, or possibly August (waivers).

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 1m1 minute ago Adam LaRoche felt OK during Weds game, going 1-for-4. Went to a wider base in stance. Hasn't done that in few years. Said it's a start.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 05:34 PM) The official twitter of the Charlotte Knights just posted that Sellers is headed there. Trade is official. Just some cash I guess. The seems to be a precursor to another move, perhaps an infielder (Micah?) getting shipped off... Nope, he's on the DL.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 05:31 PM) I think they'll get it in but there will be more than 1 delay, probably including one at the start. So Sale will probably pitch like two innings

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 05:29 PM) Oh man, with all the rumors swirling around my head I forgot what Morosi had said this morning, lol. That would make sense. When did he say that? I went to his Twitter and found nothing.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 1m1 minute ago Micah Johnson goes on the disabled list at Triple-A Charlotte, hence the acquisition of Justin Sellers from the Pirates. #WhiteSox

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 05:20 PM) That's not at all likely, however my question is: why were the Sox talking to the Pirates in the first place? An insignificant minor league trade arises from a discussion of major league talent. Alvarez, perhaps?

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 05:17 PM) So who would come from the Pirates to the Sox or vice-versa to warrant 3 teams? Sellers

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 2m2 minutes ago Can't see the White Sox giving up too much to get Cespedes. Tigers are divisional rival who could end up signing him back next season.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 05:17 PM) Who would want Sellers? LOL. Apparently us

Put this in the Soria thread, but I have a feeling that we are in a 3-team trade with the Pirates and Tigers involving Soria, Sellers, and Cespedes.

Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 1m1 minute ago The #WhiteSox pick up IF Justin Sellers from the #Pirates, per @DevanFink, @BrinkPG

Keep in mind we've played fewer games than any other team this year.

Just got an ESPN alert on my phone: "White Sox confused about whether to be buyer or seller at trade deadline - league source" That must be a really s***ty league source.
