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.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:52 PM) I've been skimming the Tigers message boards. Pretty amusing that they think we have zero in our farm system. Unless you count that whole pitching thing. But the Tigers dont need that right? One person suggested Danish. They're in no position to be criticizing other farm systems.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:48 PM) You can blame me (although I'm not the only person anti-catch all), but as the owner, I have certain preferences and I hate solid rumors burred in threads. It is a pain in the ass for me to read (when I don't want to necessarily read through pages of discussion if I'm trying to get caught up on news / rumors) and it is also bad for forum discussion (and as an admin, I try to do what helps generate discussion). I understand the solid rumors buried in threads thing, but how are catch-alls bad for forum discussion? IMO they're better, as there were many more quality posts in the buyer thread than there are now in the smaller threads.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:49 PM) What 4 outfielders are you referring to? Trayce and Shuck aren't starters and Avi isn't a starter either (and I presume would be part of a trade). I'm referring to Eaton, Melky, Gomez, and Garcia.

Melky has played 108 games at RF in his career

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:49 PM) Royals made a huge splash. Not sure they make a whole lot of sense. Twins and Sox make most sense. and Mets

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:48 PM) Has Melky played RF before? All I know is he's listed as a LF/RF in MLB The Show, and he's the right fielder in my fantasy draft franchise and he does ok

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:44 PM) I really don't like the idea of going for a rental. We are still on the outside looking in and are working towards a longer term plan. This winning is nice, but I'd rather give up an extra prospect for Carlos Gomez or someone else who will be around vs. giving up prospects who won't even be around next year to help us (especially positional prospects). Then what would we do in 2016 with 4 outfielders, not including Shuck/Trayce?

Gordon Edes ‏@GordonEdes 6m6 minutes ago Tarp about to be rolled onto field, cutting short BP for the White Sox. As if they haven't had enough the first three games here--46 hits. If we lose tonight, I'm blaming the shortened batting practice.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:35 PM) Cespedes refused to play RF for Boston and Detroit. why would we trade Avi for him??? We could just slide Melky to RF. Even if we kept Garcia and acquired Cespedes, that's what would happen.

Jim Bowden ‏@JimBowden_ESPN 4m4 minutes ago Where are the possible fits for Justin Upton and Yoenis Cespedes rentals? #WhiteSox #Orioles #Angels #Mets #Royals #Twins #Cardinals
