Kenny Williams says White Sox still deciding on "Plan A, Plan B, Plan C" for the offseason with the winter meetings approaching. https://twitter.com/ESPNChiSox/status/667002910530760704 Williams: "Rick (Hahn) is having conversation on a daily basis. I have a number of conversations with him on a daily basis with regard https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/667003035755917312 Williams: ".. to how things are evolving.

The problem with trading Robertson is the Sox have no true closer. If the Sox want to compete this year they will need one. Yes you can try to slide Jones in but you don't know if he has the mentality to do it. Montas is a guy who just got some big league innings this year but definitely probably needs more development. We also learned what it was like not having a true closer in 2014 and trying to get by with what they had.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Nov 16, 2015 -> 09:15 PM) No offense to anyone but do we really need two threads about the same topic? I'm just asking is all. But then it turns into a catch all thread and apparently people complain about having mixed information

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 16, 2015 -> 09:02 PM) This isn't even a rumor. It is bald speculation. Yes congrats, you figured out its all speculation at this point.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 16, 2015 -> 08:08 PM) The White Sox should pretty much talk to anyone about deals. No reason to limit it. Well yes but with not hint of any rumors or anything going on its getting pretty boring.

An exec of a team that's talked to the Reds says he's convinced Todd Frazier "is legitimately out there" to be traded for - for a big return https://twitter.com/jaysonst/status/666325175277867010

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 15, 2015 -> 07:22 PM) Who else do you think will be available? Besides Freeman (probably their best asset), Swisher and Bourn (wouldn't get much back)? Maybin? Some of their young starters in the MLB already to make room for guys just stock piled for? The article along with others out there are saying anyone that's owed some good amount of money is available

http://www.writesox.com/2015/11/chicago-wh...reeman.html?m=1 Freeman has been reported as being available along with maybe some other braves.

The Braves are shopping Freddie Freeman https://t.co/WYpzvdFXSw https://twitter.com/HardballTalk/status/666029422525284352 Wonder if the Sox would try.

Dan Hayes to be on 890 wls shortly to talk sox.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 01:44 PM) Ok....if news like Weiters accepting a qualified offer is going to get burried in this thread, I'm going to close this thread. Real news shouldn't be embedded within here and this is turning into a gigantic catch all that is difficult to follow. Well people were using wieters as the ideas for sox. Yes its not totally sox related but the mlb news thread got buried and have to go through the threads to find to add news to it kinda is a pain. Many times i actually try to put stuff in correct thread but digging through all of them kinda sucks

Wieters accepts qualifying offer.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 11:03 AM) Not necessarily. EJ is rumored to be on the trade block anyway and Samardzija could still be traded after he accepted the QO, although the return likely wouldn't be all that great. Still,there would be a few teams interested in trading for a one year commitment of Samardzija that comes with a comp pick when Samardzija enters FA next year so there is still some value in Samardzija even after he accepted the QO. Imo, he won't accept it but I've been wrong before. Highly doubt he accepts it. With the rumors of teams interested and I'm sure alot of teams are probably blaming the defense around him this year for some of the crappy stats he will decline

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Nov 12, 2015 -> 09:02 PM) Was looking around at potential SS/2B trade possibilities and read about how the Rangers are still high on Profar after investing heavily in him during the past two years with injuries and all. Got me thinking that maybe the Rangers look to deal Andrus but after looking at his numbers and contract, screw that. I can't believe I'm about to say this, gasp, I wonder if a trade with the cubs involving Erik Johnson and Starlin Castro would be a realistic possibility. Not saying I want this to happen, just trying to think about something that could happen and hasn't been speculated on yet. Also, I wonder if Castro could play 3B? Maybe re-sign Alexei to play SS until Anderson is ready? What can I say, I'm bored so far this off season. I think alot of us are bored. Alot of news and nothing much for sox besides coaches

Anyone trying get ideas for sox is over Source: Andrelton Simmons has been traded to the Angels. #Braves https://twitter.com/JesseSanchezMLB/status/...949654950273024

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 12, 2015 -> 02:22 PM) I was thinking of the Marlins as well. Dietrich and Ozuna are good names that I think EJ can fetch. I like Dietrich because I see him as a Ben Zobrist type. Proposal: Erik Johnson and Trayce Thompson for Marcell Ozuna and Derek Dietrich Fair? Who says no? I posted a tweet a while ago that said the Marlins were looking for a #2 type starter for ozuna. So if that's the case then you can forget about using EJ trying to get him

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 11, 2015 -> 06:38 PM) Wieters is out of play for the White Sox too. Was as soon as that Qualifying Offer was given. Don't think the qualifying offer is totally going to deter the sox. They got a 10 pick which is protected and should be a comp pick for shark when he declines. Sox don't have enough prospects to get the players back to fill all the holes they have. Quintana is going to be probably have to moved in order to full the spots. This is probably the last year they can try to sign qualifying offer free agent .

Pierzynksi returning to braves. Might take wieters out of play for them

#InsidePitch's @JimBowden_ESPN fits for Desmond: #Mets, #Padres, #WhiteSox, sleeper #Athletics. Won't return to #Nationals, Turner at SS https://twitter.com/MLBNetworkRadio/status/...540270655066112

Then Abreu gets kidnapped there and we loose our 1st baseman lol

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 01:55 PM) That isn't quite what Hahn said. There isn't a mention of cost. Hahn says, “I think ideally we’re going to be adding pieces, though, that are younger and more controllable for an extended period of time." He says "controllable" in reference to time, not cost. Jason Heyward is younger and the he'll be controllable for an extended period of time. Same with Upton, Rasmus, etc. Not saying we'll get one of those guys, just that Hahn doesn't mention cost. Yes I meant controllable. But controllable probably meaning more then trying to signing someone to longer contract for being younger. I'm guessing what Hahn is wanting is younger with controlled years before getting to free agency in terms of service time not signing time.

Alexei Ramirez would still like to play for #WhiteSox. But he's also set to meet w/ 2 other interested teams today. https://t.co/Ysvm4M1vNT https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/664172192201113600
