Yankees, Blue Jays among the teams here with a keen eye on tonight's game. https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/883473134451658752

Any starting pitcher the #Brewers would have interest in would have to have control beyond 2017, so Jose Quintana and Sonny Gray fit that. https://twitter.com/Haudricourt/status/883344088283664384 Do not expect #Brewers to get silly and trade away all their top prospects, however. Long view still in effect while short view entices. https://twitter.com/Haudricourt/status/883344398217555968

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 09:25 AM) Apparently the Tigers want a team to take on Verlander's contract and send over 3 good prospects. Of course, that's where I would start with negotiations and ultimately, I think it's more of a salary dump with a good prospect and a couple alright prospects. Verlander still has to ok any trade

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 4, 2017 -> 06:06 PM) I imagine Verlander's contract and asking price only helps the Sox in the Quintana market. He also has a full no trade clause

Yankees calling up clint frazier

Just going to leave this here

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 29, 2017 -> 06:20 PM) Nationals, they know Bryce is gone soon Other teams including the sox are wanting robles in trades for high end relievers. Yes robles is their replacement for harper but you cant wait for the future when you are trying to win now. You have harper another year and half but you come up short by not fixing the pen cause you want to save a prospect. They will have to pony up eventually cause every team knows the nats are going to be desperate at some point.

So we got to see andujar yesterday and fowler today. Yankees show casing prospects for sox?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 29, 2017 -> 09:28 AM) Where did you see that he might get called up? Dustin Fowler has indeed been called up by the #Yankees. They plan to announce it later. https://twitter.com/Joelsherman1/status/880417085209366528

Plus thing with playing the yankees right now is sox get to see miguel andujar and possibly dustin fowler today with a callup. Maybe guys that might be on sox radar if yankees take a run at Quintana

http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2017/06/28/jos...kees-white-sox/ "There were 10 clubs watching Quintana pitch Wednesday evening at Guaranteed Rate Field, where Quintana fired 6 1/3 scoreless innings and allowed two hits and four walks while striking out six in his team’s 4-3 win."

K-Rod to minors once deal with #Nationals is done. Team liked K rate, K/BB rate. HR rate clearly alarming. Trying for lightning in bottle. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/879430392457175041

First Burger bash at Guaranteed Rate Field. #WhiteSox first pick to meet the press, take some hacks with ballclub before Sox host Yankees. https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/879388525740908545

Next start for Quintana will be big coming against the yankees who could be potential suitors.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 24, 2017 -> 10:50 AM) Which offer do you take for Q: Astros - Tucker, Paulino, Fisher, Colin Moran Dodgers - Verdugo, Calhoun, Buehler, Kyle Farmer Rockies - Rodgers, Tapia, McMahon, Almonte Yankees - Frazier/Rutherford, Mateo, Sheffield, Florial Which deals would require a + (be it Frazier for the Yankees, relievers for the others) to get it done, how much, etc. I think both dodgers and yankees wouldn't do those packages. Both are 3 top 100 prospects packages which we only got 2 for sale trade. Plus i remember reading that the dodgers were high on buehler and not sure he would be available. Sox would probably need to add more to the dodgers or yankees .

QUOTE (turnin' two @ Jun 20, 2017 -> 08:21 PM) Very true, but they may not have the urgency to trade one of the game's top prospects. Same thought with nationals not wanting to trade anymore top spects for bullpen arms but look where it got them

Big game with astros and A's playing tonight. Astros get full front stage with gray pitching against them. Kinda hope the stros beat him up since hes one of the guys they are looking at

QUOTE (turnin' two @ Jun 20, 2017 -> 07:55 PM) The problem is, oddly enough, the Rockies pitching has been pretty solid. Yes but they have younger guys that will need to pitch deep in the season and post season. Not sure some of those arms are going to be full strength as the season goes on. Plus you can never have enough pitching.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 09:06 PM) I don't think I have ever seen anything like this. Its funny that the sox have a better pen then the nationals

Nationals pen blows the lead again. Jacob turner gives up tying homer to stanton

https://www.fanragsports.com/mlb/inside-bas...prise-quintana/ "Could the Dodgers be a surprise entry in the Jose Quintana sweepstakes? They certainly have the prospects to get a deal done, and there’s a belief ChiSox people are eyeing them. While the Astros, Pirates and Yankees have been suggested to be the most likely landing spots, the White Sox were frustrated by Houston’s offers and the Pirates don’t look like a contender to this point. Quintana’s salary would fit the Dodgers’ aim to keep a semi-reasonable payroll. Though they already have more potential major-league starters than anyone (and five left-handers if Scott Kazmir returns to join Clayton Kershaw, Alex Wood, Rich Hill and Hyun-Jin Ryu) but they seem to strictly adhere to the bromide: you can never have too much pitching."

http://nypost.com/2017/06/17/cashmans-trad...an-starter/amp/ Quintana stuff is at the bottom of the article "All of this is why — though the Yankees and White Sox have not made a trade since 2009 — Quintana makes sense, as long as Yankees scouts are comfortable his high ERA reflects more on being constantly in trade rumors while on a poor team rather than a decline in stuff. Also, Cashman would have to be comfortable with Quintana’s past, because in recent years the Yankees GM has tended to shy away from players with PED histories, and the Mets released Quintana in the minors after he failed a 2007 test — which actually led to him signing to play in the Yankees’ minors. He would cost the kind of prospects who would help alleviate some 40-man roster crunch — this is made up by me: Adams, Frazier, Mateo and Estevan Florial. He is just 28 and lefty. Plus, he is under control through 2020, and how his team-friendly deal is structured Quintana would cost just $5.3 million toward the luxury tax payroll next year. The Yankees would have plenty of competition for Quintana, notably from the Astros. But a lot of Cashman’s history points toward him as a real possibility."
