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

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 38s38 seconds ago Groundscrew is hustling to get the tarp on here at Fenway. Hasn't yet started raining but no BP for #WhiteSox.

Red Sox fans are responding to that tweet saying "Pablo Sandoval for the Quintana guy from last night!"

Not only will the Yankees being in town help the attendance, but the winning streak/acquisition of a big name will help a lot too.

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 35m35 minutes ago Have heard chisox are on upton and cespedes now. Things have really turned around for south siders

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:27 PM) But your not paying 74 million for two closers. Your paying half of this years salary for Kimbrel plus Robos. Then trading Kimbrel so your not taking on the rest of his contract. So you're paying 4 million dollars (less than half of Kimbrel's 2015 salary) for him to close, and 5 million (half of Robertson's 2015 salary) for Robertson to be an 8th inning guy. If you want a shut-down set-up guy that badly, there are many out there who cost less than $5 million for a couple months.

QUOTE (Special K @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:26 PM) Was this Pierzynski rumor pure nonsense? Yes, it was posted by an 80+ year old guy with 39 followers.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:18 PM) So? Then the Sox have two closers instead of one. It'd be even better. Shortening the game is important nowadays. The Sox FO doesn't give a f*** about shortening the game, they care about winning. Paying $74 million to have two closers is completely unnecessary.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:15 PM) For half a season where your in a playoff chase it's not dumb to have two lock down closers. That allows you to trade Kimbrel in the winter for prospects or another impact piece. It'd be smart ass hell I think for the rest of the year. It's expensive as hell too. We didn't pay Robertson $46 million this offseason to be an 8th inning guy.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:16 PM) How is it dumb? That's just like the Royals did last year. No it isn't? They had Greg Holland. He was/is their closer.

QUOTE (Billness33 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:13 PM) Bob Nightengale (USA TODAY's baseball columnist) is reporting the Sox are currently on the phone with Detroit. They're looking to get Cespedes and move Garcia... Where did you hear the bold? Also, this is being discussed in Trade Winds (Trade Winds).

QUOTE (Special K @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:11 PM) Avi not starting tonight... I never said anything about Garcia. I think it's dumb to have two expensive, premier closers on one team. QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:11 PM) I feel like Upton would require someone like Adams, and with the way Upton has been hitting the last two months that could have disaster written all over it. Pass. He has improved over the past week or so, though

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 02:35 PM) Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 57s57 seconds ago Sources: #Padres progressing on multiple deals, with Ross a key piece. Moving him would signal concession in ’15. But looking at adding too. Maybe one is with us for Upton?

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:06 PM) Upton, Ross, Kimbrel for Avi, Montas, Danish, Danks... Lol I wish Kimbrel and Robertson on the same team?

We'd probably have to take Upton's brother too. They play everywhere together now.

Rick Slattery ‏@rickslat123 36m36 minutes ago Sources: @whitesox deal for Pierzynski imminent. @Braves #MLBTradeDeadline Don't worry, this is the same guy who said we traded Tim Anderson for Samardzija last November.

From Seattle for Jose Ramirez (the pitcher, not the infielder) and Ramon Flores

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 03:32 PM) We now have 6 pages across 2 threads discussing Justin f***ing Sellers To be fair, some of these pages are about Cespedes

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 03:31 PM) Chris Cotillo did report it earlier that he was likely to be traded. Why is there so much reporting on this guy? He's a minor leaguer yet these two insiders are up-to-date with his rumors... funny how Nightengale/Rosenthal etc. have been breaking news on big names, while these two guys are reporting on Justin Sellers.

QUOTE (bjm676 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 03:19 PM) Well #12 is now available. Only to be taken by Justin Sellers!

James Fox ‏@JamesFox917 50s50 seconds ago Justin Sellers means nothing. Micah injured. Anderson not ready. Leury, Sanchez, Saladino all in majors. Need depth. #WhiteSox
