QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 09:37 AM) Yes, and it still may not have been possible. Beane may think the Toronto guys are awesome and the package I am proposing is awful. In any event, the team is much better now than it was the day the season ended. the issue is most teams didn't even know he was available. I'm sure if they knew he was then alot of team would have been after him

White Sox and Seattle taking Dayan Viciedo has been on going for two years . One club more serious now ! https://twitter.com/MLBBruceLevine/status/543515457073192960

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 12, 2014 -> 09:08 AM) no, it does not give the sox any flexibility in the upcoming yrs. the sox will be stuck like Dodgers, Philly and some other teams. Let's think about this. Some of the bigger contracts we have is coming off the books in two year if not sooner for some of them. Danks has 2 years left with 14.250 million aav, Laroche has 12 this year and 13 in 16, and ramirez with 10 each season. If these guys all stay on the team and leave in at the end of the 2016 year that's 37+ million coming off. If danks and alexei are gone before their contracts are up then we save money sooner. Signing melky is not going to make the sox stuck or not give them financial flexibility.

Here is another thing to think about that this projected war its now with current players. It's only Dec 12. Still a 115 days to opening day for the sox and every other team. Alot can change between now and then. No body knows who the opening day team is even going to look like.

I'm sorry but I take some projections with a grain of salt. I can guarantee you that no one projected the world series last year would have the royals and giants in it. To me you can project things a bit better when games are being played but look at the A's having a lead and looking like favorites until the faltered down the stretch. There is also teams that surprise every year or teams that are supposed to win and falter. To me the biggest things that people can't project is luck and you definitely need some luck as the season to go on for things to bounce you way. But you can also have things bounce against you and nothing that you can go about it.

Hahn “pleased to add pitcher like Dan (Jennings) to our bullpen. Provides more depth and gives Robin another viable left-handed option' https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/543091715586801664

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 09:09 PM) What is Revere's contract? 1st year arbitration eligible in 2015. Projected to make 4 million based on mlb trade rumors projections. Free agent in 2018 so 3 year left of control

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 08:31 PM) From the sounds of the reporting the third team would be taking Haren from the marlins. So unless you want Haren, don't hope for the Sox to be involved. Haren was part of the dee gordon trade. Rollins is Philly and dodgers with supposed 3rd team involved.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 07:51 PM) Where did you see that? Sources indicate third team is involved in Rollins deal and money is being exchanged. Needs approval from commissioner's office. https://twitter.com/MLB/status/542846717742563329

Have heard from multiple people about how much "Rick Hahn loves Jason Castro". Trade candidate. #WhiteSox #Astros https://twitter.com/ChrisCotillo/status/542490017310863360

Worth watching today w/White Sox ... talks w/Dodgers. They talked Matt Kemp but both Andre Ethier and Carl Crawford fit w/LAD paying $$$. https://twitter.com/philgrogers/status/542365147734360065

Kenny Williams tells @KapandHaugh that Carlos Rodon will probably start his MLB career out of the bullpen like Chris Sale did. https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/542340460627243008

Sox could sign drew if they trade Alexei. If the sox can lockup samardzija and we're able to get Snydergaard plus for ramirez then I would do it. The shortstop market is shrinking. Starlin castro is supposedly to be off the market now and I don't believe Tulo is going anywhere. The Mets and dodgers are in desperate need and I would be asking for Snydergaard or Pederson. Imagine if the sox were able to lockup samardzija and acquired Snydergaard. That rotation would be sale, Samardzija, quintana, Snydergaard and Rodon in the future. Pretty damn good if you tell me. But I only trade Alexei if you got something of Snydergaard or Pederson.

White Sox GM Rick Hahn declines comment about potential Jeff Samardzija deal, which is reportedly close to being done. https://twitter.com/ChiTribKane/status/542166334595805185

Even if a Samardzija deal is close to being finalized, it doesn't sound as if the #Athletics are planning to announce anything tonight. https://twitter.com/susanslusser/status/542164238467231744

Sounds as if Beane's hints of something else coming soon indeed involve Jeff Samardzija and the #WhiteSox. #Athletics https://twitter.com/susanslusser/status/542162243475877889

How do you spell his name..? Samardzija...? Heard he's good. #ComeOnOver #SouthSide https://twitter.com/AdamSpankyEaton/status/...159875414163456

The #White Sox are shaking things up at winter meetings. Samardzija deal will be done next. http://t.co/IYoXU4re4D https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/542159320356360192

The #WhiteSox have been confident for days that Jeff Samardzija will soon be on their staff having all but completed their deal https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/542158735557156864

Sources: #WhiteSox close to acquiring Samardzija from #Athletics. @JonHeymanCBS and @JeffPassan were on it. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/542157035307945984

Samardzija to #WhiteSox for Marcus Semien, Hector Noesi and Josh Phegley makes sense to me https://twitter.com/scotgregor/status/542141564257304577

Nick Capra told me during Instructs that Tyler Saladino, recovering from Tommy John, would prob be most ready at SS behind Alexei of course https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/542141026782048256

Had heard from a couple of different people White Sox weren't against getting Samardzija for one year. Would just influence the return https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/542140363230560256
