If the Tigers keep David Price, they'll look to add before July 31 -- and they are in the market now checking on upgrades. https://twitter.com/Buster_ESPN/status/625380947727355908

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 11:03 AM) Not with all the bad blood between the two....it would be like us acquiring Ventura. Another great question. I'd say this: Darvish, Holland, Gallardo, Gonzalez and Perez. Wouldn't have included Gallardo a month ago. But he was great in June. Also gives a young rotation the kind of veteran savvy that Colby Lewis has always supplied. I realize this squeezes out Nick Martinez and leaves out Colby and Matt Harrison. That's what competition is all about. Also, someone's always going to get hurt. dallas.com The Rangers have a wealth of pitching if they bring Hamels on board. Darvish/Hamels (two #1's) Derek Holland Yovani Gallardo Chi Chi Gonzalez Martin Perez, Colby Lewis, Nick Martinez and Matt Harrison would all be on the outside looking in...they could trade some of those guys along with Leonys Martin/Profar/Odor and really be a contender. That would leave Gallo, Hamilton, Choo and DeShields as the four outfielders, Beltre back at 3B, Fielder for DH, Moreland at 1B, Odor and Profar fighting it out for 2B (the other could be packaged in a trade)....if Andrus woke up and played at All-Star level again, or Choo....watch out. Need to clean up the bullpen (and they've got a long list of arms there now) and catcher's spot and they'll be in good shape. Actually the Rangers were/are trying to trade gallardo plus he's a free agent after this year

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 10:59 AM) Be nice for the Sox if Hamels goes to Texas soon And if price does become available to the cubs that would leave dodgers, jays, giants, Yankees still needing pitching.

Sources: Brandon Finnegan's name has been in talks with Reds. Unclear if he's in final deal, which @Ken_Rosenthal says is done. https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/625332413514805248

Industry sentiment has Rangers as favorites for Cole Hamels. Long-term motivation, prospects to swing a deal and Hamels can't block trade. https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/625316594814722049

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 10:08 AM) I'm hoping we can get Shark off the market before Price become available. Better hope shark gets traded today. This weekend was going to be the decision deadline on if tigers sell or not.

The White Sox have reinstated infielder Emilio Bonifacio from the Bereavement List and optioned infielder Leury Garcia to @KnightsBaseball. https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/625318703496830977

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 09:14 AM) Wow...the Rangers, you'd have to think they're thinking more long-term than this season, although they have a slight chance THIS year. Definitely have the minor league pieces to make it work, and the budget/payroll. That's the kind of move you would have expected out of the White Sox a decade ago, the equivalent of trading for F. Garcia in 2004. Rangers continue to be involved in Cole Hamels conversation; they envision a time when they can team him with Yu Darvish. https://twitter.com/Buster_ESPN/status/625302192203956225

Sources: Momentum building toward Hamels trade. Offers have improved since no-hitter. Teams asking for less money, offering better players. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/625304658140098560 The five teams with the most recent interest in Hamels: #Cubs, #Dodgers, #Rangers, #Yankees, #SFGiants. Not listed in any particular order. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/625304666017013760

#Royals & #Reds continue to work on deal that would send Johnny Cueto to KC despite hiccup as first reported by @Ken_Rosenthal & @jonmorosi https://twitter.com/JimBowden_ESPN/status/625298668304879617

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 07:03 AM) Not sure if this was posted anywhere, but a Cueto trade to the Royals nearly happened yesterday. Apparently one of the guys the Reds would have received had some red flags in their medicals so the trade was called off (for now). Have not seen any other details on parameters of the trade. Looks like we might see some movement on the Shark front as soon as today. I posted the cueto to royals in non white sox rumors thread.

#Royals were close to acquiring Cueto from #Reds earlier tonight, sources tell me and @jonmorosi. Deal fell through. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/625140321039568896 Sources indicate that the problem was that one of the players going from the #Royals to the #Reds for Cueto did not check out medically. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/625140327515574272

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 07:32 PM) WhiteSoxLifer had it. But now its gone. Doesn't like my shoes so I took it down lol

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 07:26 PM) Sox gave Shark 5 runs as a going away present. Shark needs to give the sox a complete game shutout to raise his value

A strong first for Carson Fulmer, who needs just 8 pitches (6 fastballs) to retire the Mudcats in order (K, P4, F8). http://t.co/REasuedxPH https://twitter.com/WSDashBaseball/status/624360642795933697

So if shark is traded does Soto have to go with him since he's been pretty much his personal catcher lol

Toronto one of the teams in attendance today for Samardzija's start, as pretty much expected. https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/624336381138104320

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 04:02 PM) I think Shark is dealt before his next start. I'm guessing to Toronto early next week. Well is next start is today. Better hope he pitches well.
