http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/video?vid=476822595692 Ken Rosenthal is saying shark to the yankees in his view would be a perfect fit but says sox haven't fully said he's available yet.

Hate to break your guys heart but talking about swihart or Betts for quintana isn't going to happen. Phillies were wanting one of the 2 for starting a package for hamels which is a ace and boston wasn't going for it. There are numerous articles saying swihart is red sox future catcher and also saying that Betts isn't getting moved either. So yes quintana isn't a ace like Hamels and if boston isn't moving one of the 2 for hamels they are for sure not moving them for quintana. Now quintana has been doing his thing in the American League for the past 4ish years sofar and has gotten better but doesn't have the longer track record in the bigs like hamels.

http://mweb.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-h...proposed-dealsv White sox are listed #10. Suggesting shark traded to the blue jays for catching prospect Max Pentecost

Last time lynn pitched in 2012 against sox. I remember him mowing down hitters. 7.1 ip, 3 hits, 1bb and set his career high with 12 ks against the sox.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 28, 2015 -> 05:58 PM) motivation or not, players are not going to perform when they have no faith in the coach. they, the players need a person who can coach, can managed a team. I'm sorry but these are grown men playing baseball and getting a hell of alot of money then most of us will ever see and there should be no excuses. They get to play a game that alot of kids dream to play in their lives. I'm sure we all aren't fully happy with our jobs or bosses but we put our big boy pants and go to work cause we need a paycheck and I'm sure anyone one of us would like to take their place in a heart beat.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jun 28, 2015 -> 11:45 AM) Looks like interest in Samardzija is picking up. "The same teams that are pursuing Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz are going after White Sox hurler Jeff Samardzija. That list of teams includes the Royals, Tigers, Twins, Blue Jays, Yankees, Cardinals, Orioles, Angels, and Dodgers, according to Cafardo. Late last week, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reported that the Astros are also interested in Samardzija. Meanwhile, at this time, the Red Sox reportedly are not interested in moving Buchholz." http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/06/cafa...eto-hamels.html Hopefully he continues to pitch well and with that many teams hopefully a chance for good return

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 27, 2015 -> 04:45 PM) Exactly. Unless we get rid of all the bums (in baseball sense) we acquired this offseason, the team will reek again next year. Simple retooling won't work. It's time for a huge firesale. Yes that's smart. This team apparently can't develop players that well especially on the position side. They don't seem to be able to evaluate players well that they bring in. Most of the position players they bring in end up sucking for them. They get good players that do well other places and play like crap for them. I swear they could bring in Miguel Cabrera, Mike trout, or stanton and they would end up playing like crap. This team already has holes and you want to trade off all the players they got last year to create more holes and no one to fill them. Plus it's really going to make the organization look bad to trade off everyone you just got in the offseason and deter any future free agents from wanting to sign with them cause if they sign there and not play well they will try to dump them right away. If you want to try to fire sale then you might as well trade sale, Abreu and company and try to bring in as much talent as possible to try to build the team back up like the cubs did.

Adam Eaton has more home runs (5) than Robinson Cano, Michael Brantley, Victor Martinez, Matt Holliday and Jose Reyes. https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/614572705019482113

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0625-story.html There is stuff in there about shark hearing his name going through the rumor mill again. But also a small snippet saying the sox are willing to part with Ramirez. Honestly I really wished he was traded in the past off season to sell high on his value he had but now the Sox might be stuck with him for the year.

http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/washing...al-notes-062415 Ken Rosenthal still saying astros interested in shark.

Jose Abreu w/ runner on 3rd and less than two outs in 2014: 14-for-31 (.452) w/ 10 BB, 4 SF, 35 RBIs. In 2015: 3-for-13, 2 BB, 0 SF, 8 RBIs. https://twitter.com/paul_casella/status/612326670670897152

Rick Hahn says that trade chatter has recently picked up. https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/611288604090961920

Chris Sale has struck out 12+ batters in 4 straight games. Since 1914, only Randy Johnson & Pedro Martinez have done it 5 straight games. https://twitter.com/MLB/status/610457719036751873

Chris Sale has 4 straight starts with at least 25 swings & misses & 5 with at least 20. Our records go back to 2002. He's first to do either https://twitter.com/jaysonst/status/610449943627714561 More on Sale: 4 straight of 25+ swings & misses. All other starters in MLB combined have 4 all season - & 2 were yesterday (Scherzer/Hamels) https://twitter.com/jaysonst/status/610450516397699073

Chris Sale only threw 16 sliders among his 125 pitches. He has 26 swings and misses. #WhiteSox https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/610190222584901632

#Whitesox Chris Sale goes today. Has 718 K's in first 96 starts -- 2nd best among active pitchers to Tim Lincecum (736). #Elias https://twitter.com/ChrisDeLuca/status/610123575404691456

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jun 12, 2015 -> 06:41 PM) I like how this s***ty bum is shutting down the Sox. What a surprise. I'm sure the Rays fans are saying the same thing about danks lol

#WhiteSox Rick Hahn believes Carson Fulmer could 'handle expedited path' to majors: http://t.co/ebdfbk0J6Q http://t.co/FtKoSzpuTH https://twitter.com/CSNChicago/status/609421022668955648

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 03:08 PM) Wish this team would figure it out and go on a fun run... They did once already but then went back to crappy baseball

More in depth of the strike outs in consecutive games. http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/7/71/67...-stellar-starts

Love Carson Fulmer. Not because he's Sonny Gray 2.0. He isn't. Delivery isn't nearly as bad as others think, though, and stuff is monstrous. https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/608060863644332032

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 09:31 PM) He would also cost this team even more runs defensively. Samardzija was coming off 2 good years. Ya was just going to say that semien has 19 errors sofar on the season. People complaining about Micah's defense can't imagine the complaining of Semien with his.

Should get to see Joey Gallo for the Rangers this series. Dude has some pretty big power.
