QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 01:31 PM) Good grief, the leagues best offense just added Tulo and Revere over the last few days. Look out Yankees! Actually the white sox too cause they are ahead of them in wild card standings

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 01:27 PM) That offense is just lethal. So you aked what team had a single hole in their offense. I think the jays don't have any holes now

mets are making a push for yoenis cespedes. would be big move. https://twitter.com/JonHeymanCBS/status/627181758149185536

#Mets still discussing Yoenis Cespedes with the #Tigers, sources say. https://twitter.com/jonmorosi/status/627179025157390336

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 01:03 PM) What a huge move they made!!! It's Kevin Jepsen. I'm confident that we'll make a move. Yes they'll make a move by trading shark and not getting a bat just for you to go nuts lol

Now the twins have made a move and sox are sitting with their thumbs up their...

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 12:28 PM) Lets just say we swapped Shark to one team, Sox got Upton, and Padres get prospects. That is a loss to me. I think any chance of Sox making a deep post-season run are gone (don't think that rotation is good enough to win a post-season series) and we don't even get the comp pick long-term to help us. Chances of making playoffs might go up a bit, but thats a big if because we really have no idea what we will get out of EJ (and Rodon is still developing). We could end up with a gas can of a rotation which offsets any positives from Upton and we don't even get a comp pick for the long term. So again, I am not trading Shark for a rental unless it is Shark and prospects for a rental + better prospects. What about trading shark means for a bat thats not a rental

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 12:14 PM) I'm kind of advocating for trading Samardzija AND adding a bat. I think the addition of an impact bat benefits our club more than the substitution of EJ for Samardzija hurts us. Even with EJ, that pitching staff is good enough to compete. If they worked a good 3 team deal basically swapping Samardzija for a bat, they would basically be giving up the compensatory pick for a two month rental. I think they would be willing to do that. I wonder if them trading shark and then using the return to get a bat could try for more then a 2 month rental.

#WhiteSox listening to "everything," source says. Have not completely ruled out Jeff Samardzija trade -- and open to adding, too. https://twitter.com/jonmorosi/status/627164066063085568

White Sox's pursuit of impact RH bat (Yoenis Cespedes/Justin Upton) might lead to Jeff Samardzija trade, either in 3-team deal or 2 trades. https://twitter.com/philgrogers/status/627162584370814976

I really hope the sox are at least entertaining both buying and selling. If they can't get a bat that they need at least be still listening on shark in case someone offers them something good.

If #Padres don't get what they want for Upton,they'll keep him and get draft pick;the #Tigers more urgent on Cespedes since no compensation https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/627156078082404352

price tag is high on cespedes. belief is, with orioles, they'd seek gausman. last guy o's want to trade. https://twitter.com/JonHeymanCBS/status/627145252000940032 It's probably going to be even higher for sox.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 10:30 AM) I'm starting to wonder if maybe the Sox should deal Samardzija. The Sox have some tough teams between them and the second wild card. And the issue is the teams are making moves to get better. Sox have been sitting on the sideline going are we in or are we out

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 09:55 AM) There is no chance Tim Anderson is the starting SS on opening day 2016 for the Sox. It will be Alexei. Maybe, just maybe, it Alexei sucks balls, they'll call up Anderson midseason, or maybe, they'll let Saladino or Sanchez give it a go, but it won't be Anderson. Admittedly, I haven't watched Anderson in person, but by all accounts he is extremely raw. His defense has improved ten fold since last season, but he'd still be an absolute butcher at SS in the majors. Give him time. They should play saladino at short or some other fill in next year if anderson isn't ready. Already learned this year that ramirez should have been gone and that 10 million next year is way to much for him. Can use that money for some of the more needs around the team.

Sources: #Mets worked into night on trade for #Reds’ Bruce. Expectation among many in industry is that deal will happen. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/627094860521164800

QUOTE (woods of ypres @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 12:58 AM) I really hope that the guys the Reds got from SF, and the Tigers from TOR aren't the deals we walked away from because we got hot. I wouldn't be surprised if the sox did. Probably will still getting offers today cause teams still are desperate for starting pitching.

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 06:55 AM) If the Sox trade for Upton or Cespedes and give up Anderson, Montas, or Hawkins it clearly shows that KW and not Hahn is running the show. I want the the Sox to win desperately, but player development needs to be the key trait of this organization. If the Sox were in first place by five games, different story. I'm pretty sure I read that anderson will not go for cespedes or upton. Hopefully not montas either. Hawkins I'm starting to think he might not turn out much into anything. He has pop but doesn't hit for average and his still striking out a ton over is last 3 season

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 10:03 PM) Same here. The overreaction after the inevitable loss, while expected, is still mind-boggling. My overreacting isn't over the fact of a bad loss but the fact of looking at a small portion of 25 games against consistently bad for most of the year. Again the sox have to win a lot of game the rest of the year to contend. They've shown winning for a stretch of the last 25 games but alot of losing before that. Maybe they changed but time will tell.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 10:02 PM) Which is what Upton/Cespedes would help. The fact that we're under .500 is irrelevant when we're what, 2.5, 3 games out of a playoff spot? So you replace one bad bat with a better one but still have holes. And yes being under .500 is relevant cause the can't consistently win to get over it and stay there
