QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 10:22 AM) Oakland probably asking for too much. Or Sox not a 100% sold on him?

White Sox have been kicking the tires on Brett Lawrie for at least a month. Staying healthy is key question for club https://twitter.com/MLBBruceLevine/status/674602123452145664

It's unclear who #WhiteSox would send to Oakland for Brett Lawrie. But OFs Avisail Garcia, Trayce Thompson, Adam Engel, Jacob May in talks. https://twitter.com/philgrogers/status/674575811496828928

If the Sox get lawrie then the sox/Royals games should be fun this year. http://www.si.com/mlb/2015/04/19/brett-law...fight-ejections

I think we will see Sox sign asdrubal cabrera and Matsuda and be done lol

White Sox still working on their options on Day 2 of the winter meetings. Last year on Day 2, they acquired Samardzija, Robertson. https://twitter.com/ESPNChiSox/status/674405593575108608

So it is Inciarte, Swansby and Blair from #Dbacks to #Braves for Miller and minor lge rlvr https://twitter.com/Joelsherman1/status/674400766510161920

Hearing from multiple sources Ender Inciarte, Aaron Blair and Dansby Swanson are involved in the Shelby Miller deal. https://twitter.com/Buster_ESPN/status/674399598451023873

White Sox spent a portion of the day talking internally about lining up a series of possible moves. Things could start to heat up. https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/674377097708765184

Teams are targeting SS Tim Anderson, #White Sox's No. 1 prospect, as well as pitching prospects in trade talks. https://twitter.com/philgrogers/status/674263367234789376

Rick Hahn gave an update about progress at the MLB Winter Meetings yesterday. https://t.co/MFZKDSc8hD https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/674257541916848128 From yesterdays media session

Rick Hahn on @MLBNetwork. If you missed it, we'll have the video posted as soon as it's available. https://t.co/UOfaZkZd5D https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/674250372488253440

Rick Hahn will be on @MLBNetwork shortly after 9 a.m. https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/674239997776699392

From sound of things, #WhiteSox don't intend to trade any of their top starting pitchers. Prospect arms or relievers likelier. https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/674057669011972096

Rick Hahn says it's been "a busy 24 hours." The bulk of the White Sox focus has been on improving the offense. https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/673991323297447936 If there's a player the White Sox want right now and they can backload the contract past 2016, don't see why they wouldn't go after him. https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/674038536853680128 Could White Sox make another big splash this winter? They do have $28.7 million off the books from Danks and LaRoche after 2016. https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/674038473028972544 There will be raises for Sale, Quintana, Abreu, Eaton, etc. in 2017...but there will still be about $20 million off the table. https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/674038918455664641

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 06:36 PM) Angels have joined the race for Lawrie. I seriously don't know what the Sox will do if they don't get him. Sign the Japanese 3B? Probably play Olt lol

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 09:57 AM) Was watching MLB network this weekend and one of the Sox-beat reporters was only chatting about the Club. He said that right now, Saladino is the plan for the starting SS position. Has anyone heard the same? He's the option at this point but think they will try to get a stop gap. Hell when mlb network was doing the al central preview they thought sanchez was the ss right now till dan hayes had to correct them and say saladino was more of the ss but might be looking for an upgrade for now

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 10:37 AM) He made it seem like Cespedes could be more likely due to no pick lost Well they did try to get him at the deadline. With no pick attached and the outgoing personality could make him a big target for sox.

From Nashville: I still don't believe the White Sox will add any free agent that will cost them a draft pick. https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/673900680839565313 I've been wrong before, and I probably will be again at some time. But as of now, I feel confident on that one https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/673900812796563456 White Sox are targeting infield: 3B, SS even 2B. But their real target is simply making dynamic improvements to a poor '14 offense overall https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/673901294269132800

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 08:17 AM) If Beane would have kept Donaldson, he could get a lot better prospects today, if prospects are your thing. Beane also traded a top 5 in baseball prospect for Shark. So if the Sox were stupid, what was he? He ultimately got a bunch of meddling guys for a top 5 in baseball prospect SS and an MVP 3B making Zach Duke money. Yeah, he is a genius alright. Be afraid to trade with Billy Beane. Be very afraid. And yet he's had the A's in the playoffs 3 times in the last 5 years. Sox were "rebuilding" but that's because they didn't hame much of a minor leagues to fix issues. Billy Beane trades off parts to aquire as much talent as possible. Some might not be anything but he does get some to work which is more then the sox have at the point.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 08:06 AM) LMAO. An MVP 3rd baseman making $4.3 million. Getting paid less than Zach Duke, and you think what they received for him was a decent haul? 2 mediocre pitchers, an 19 year old who hasn't hit the U.S. yet and a guy they are trying to sell low. Also remember you have to pay the players you receive in a trade. It was ultimately an awful return. A horrible trade. If the White Sox did that you would be calling for heads to roll. Yes and Donaldson is going to be getting over 10 million next year. A's can't afford that. Do you have a crystal ball to know how the prospect are going to turn out. Again they are probably going to trade Lawrie which now turns into more prospects for Donaldson. Sox made at stupid trade for shark. Traded 4 players for one year rental which was a bad overall deal plus if they magical sign a player with QO then they get nothing for shark.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 07:41 AM) Donaldson.made $4.3 million his MVP year, and won't be a free agent for 3 more seasons. Try again. Well he's going to get more expensive through arbitration and they were mostly likely going never going sign him to an extension. That 4.3 million is a 3.8 million increase from previous year. A's saved the growing increase in arbitration and get prospects back. How about you try it again
