QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 12:48 PM) Hopefully Johnson then. Can't see him getting alot in return

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 12:42 PM) Decent bounce back candidate if he's healthy though. Could have a nice year and earn a QO at the end of the season. Especially with next year's free agent pitching class. But what would you have to give up to get him. The issue of trading for him when Sox have more holes to upgrade before starting pitching makes no sense

$1.5-million gamble on Jacob Turner gives #WhiteSox 8 starters who could be in mix in 2016 (10 if Beck is healthy and Fulmer comes fast). https://twitter.com/philgrogers/status/672847011163545600 Hahn was asked if he thought fulmer could do a Rodon and be pushing into a spot next year and said basically it's up to fulmer to show it but definitely believes has has the makeup to do it

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 12:29 PM) Rotation? What? What about EJ or Danks? Some asked him that and this is Dan's reply @AaronLemingNFL just in the mix. They take like 6-7 guys every year who are "in the mix." https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/672844842733576197

Will this team be a playoff contender? "It's certainly our goal to put ourselves into contention to win a championship," -Rick Hahn https://twitter.com/ESPNChiSox/status/672841592395407360

Kris Bryant will join me and @ESPNChiCubs at 12:30 on @espn1000. White Sox GM Rick Hahn joins us at 1:00. #HotStoveChicago https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/672840477113237504 For any interested in seeing what Hahn has to say

GM Rick Hahn says White Sox not closed to any avenue for making the squad better. Still talking trades and free agents. https://twitter.com/ESPNChiSox/status/672839797816336384 Hahn, when asked if the White Sox would trade a starter: "We don't have anyone on our roster who is untouchable." https://twitter.com/ESPNChiSox/status/672840105019768832

Will #WhiteSox will be aggressive or view '16 as a transition year? Thus far they've upgraded C, their 3rd-best (lineup) position, per WAR. https://twitter.com/philgrogers/status/672835377351294976 Don't count out Rick Hahn making some impact trades, however. #WhiteSox lineup behind Abreu, Eaton needs help to keep pace in AL Central. https://twitter.com/philgrogers/status/672836808749752320

Chris Sale had some questions for Rick Hahn after Tyler Flowers' non-tender so he called the White Sox GM Thursday. Had a good talk. https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/672820537433923584 Sale was disappointed by Flowers' non-tender and stressed how that pitcher-catcher bond is taken for granted. But excited to work with new C https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/672821103744561152 Remember Flowers has caught every pitch thrown by Sale in the last two years https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/672821223449989120 Sale on the talk with Hahn: "We weren’t yelling at each other. We weren’t angry. We were just figuring out what was going on." https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/672821323802869760

Cubs remain interested in a reunion with Jeff Samardzija. But buzz in the industry is that his price is rising beyond their comfort level https://twitter.com/jaysonst/status/672815666936881152

White Sox GM Rick Hahn joins us Friday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. https://t.co/KEjUeJUgMI https://twitter.com/thekapman/status/672527673957072896 Will have to listen to see what Hahn is up to

$18 million is the going AAV for Jeff Samardzija . How many years ? Source confirms one team has offered $90 million . https://twitter.com/MLBBruceLevine/status/672598855163101184

I'm starting to think they are going trade route for the new catcher. If it was signing of navarro then they probably would have done that already since he's a free agent and been out there for a month. Since the catching position has been a hole since AJ left I'm guessing they are trying to get controlled catcher. Hahn has said he'd like to get younger and controlled players. Maybe that's why Avila was brought in for veteran presence and good club house leader for the new catcher.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 10:36 PM) I think I'd rather have Carter or Alvarez than LaRoche. Those 2 strikeout a ton but at least I know they'll hit bombs. Wouldnt touch Carter at all. Highest average is .239 in a season. Hit .199 last year. All he does is hit homeruns

Crazy thing now is avi and sorta leury Garcia are the longest position players that's been on team

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 09:13 PM) @ChiTribKane: Tyler Flowers was surprised by White Sox cutting him. "It really still doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to go this route with it." But... @ChiTribKane: But Tyler Flowers said maybe decision will make more sense when he hears next move. Either way, he expects a decent market for his services. Beat me to it lol

QUOTE (dayan024 @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 08:18 PM) How about another hahn favorite Jason Castro from the Astros? He has only one year left before free agency. Unless they want to extend him tho he hasn't lived up to expectations

How full of crap is he?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 07:42 PM) Guys, that's rabbit.... Kinda thought that

Really starting to think Hahn is going to be really busy and should be interesting

Another catcher to watch as a buy-low type: Devin Mesoraco. #WhiteSox-#Reds have had dialogue. #Reds need pitching. #WhiteSox need power. https://twitter.com/ChiSoxraBBit/status/672225749307400192 Ran across this. Not sure about the guy who tweeted. Mesoraco had a really nice year in 2014

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 07:30 PM) Sale loved throwing to Flowers, wonder how he feels about this I'm sure he will take a better offense and chance of winning then throwing to flowers who's a hole on offense

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 07:21 PM) Jason Castro would be surprising, purely because you'd suspect they'd be looking for a right handed bat. That said, he's been a long term target of Hahn and maybe Hanh learned from Kenny in the sense that Kenny always got his guy. Problem is that castro is a free agent after this season. So he's only a year rental unless they lock him up but still hasnt lived up to potential.
