David Robertson, if traded, could get a decent haul on his own. If packaged with Sale or Q, Sox could become a top 10 farm system overnight. https://twitter.com/RobHart1980/status/759086422188064769

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 01:05 PM) I don't see the Rangers happening because Mazara is a must and if he's included in a package with Gallo then the Rangers' lineup will become a joke. The upgrade to their rotation will be offset a lot by the downgrade to their offense. Figuring gallo just joined them and mazara has slowed a bit they are the 6th in baseball in runs. Not sure removing those 2 are going to take a major hit to their offense. Especially since they lost fielder and he hasn't been producing anyway. Throw in abreu and it will work out lol

White Sox remain potential headliner of trade deadline deals as they continue to talk to Rangers, Yankees,... https://t.co/mHXxCiand9 https://twitter.com/JimBowden_ESPN/status/759086600995217408 White Sox remain potential headliner of trade deadline deals as they continue to talk to Rangers, Yankees, Dodgers, Astros others re: star players. Nationals determined to land one of Davis or Miller before they make a trade for next level type closer

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 12:36 PM) only thing I can think of is there has been some concern about his strikeout totals this year. His K/9 rate has dropped from a career high 11.8 to 8.6 this season. If the scouts wanted to see more strikeouts, they didn't get it last night. But everyone knows hes not trying to strikeout batters as much. Hes playing to contact to reduce high pitch counts. Tho he was missing a bit with spots last night. Really wasnt attacking hitters much.

The Texas #Rangers continue to be the most aggressive team in the pursuit of #Whitesox ace Chris Sale, but Sox asking price remains steep. https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/759068717238018049

Still think it's unlikely that Chris Sale gets dealt. But FWIW, the Rangers, Orioles, Marlins & Nationals all had scouts at his start Thurs https://twitter.com/jaysonst/status/759066541241532416 Rangers are probably scouting sale. Nationals are probably looking at bullpen pieces. No idea what the marlins and Orioles would be looking at.

Its been pretty quite with 3 days left for the sox. Hope something happens. Wont be happy standing pat

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 10:05 AM) Wasn't referring to now. In offseason. Sox didnt pony up this past offseason. Cant see them going this next one especially with holes as of now not including if they start trading pieces. Going to be bidding war and sox usually dont come out on top of those

Complete deal: Cashner, Rea, Guerrero to #Marlins. Cosart, Castillo, Capps, Naylor to #Padres. Deal pending review of medicals. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/759040226714984448

Trade as it stands, per additional names from @jaysonst and @jeffpassan. #Marlins get Cashner, Rea. #Padres get Cosart, Castillo, Naylor. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/759034107527589888 Marlins giving up their 2 top 10 prospects and a third for cashner and rea

It's amazing how fans think their teams can deal 3 mediocre prospects for Chris Sale. This isn't the world that general managers live in. https://twitter.com/jcrasnick/status/759033683705724928

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 08:55 AM) Reddick I think is realistic. He was looking for a 4- year extension with the A's and they only want him at 3 (why would you not give him 4th year?). However, being on the open market he'll probably get 5 (which I wouldn't be opposed to). Sox said they arent going for rental players

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 08:41 AM) I think someone will give in for Q because they won't have to touch their major league roster for him. Unless it's Texas who promotes Gallo and has Profar there. But Boston doesn't. Don't think LA will give up Urias for Q. Houston wouldn't give up Bregman for Q I don't think Then none of those teams get Quintana. Hes a top 15 pitcher in war since 2012. You are going to have to pay for Quintana

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 08:12 AM) Indeed it is...if they didnt have Price though it might be different. But I think in Heyman or Sherman's last article the Red Sox were pretty much ruled out. They dont want to give up anyone of value. Now Texas might give in. They have made trades like this before. Plus their starters havent been winning games. Maybe the Dodgers too But boston doesnt have pitching for the playoffs. You need shutdown pitching and they really dont have that. Wrights been coughing up alot of runs lately. Rodriguez hasnt been very good. Price has been on and off and he doesnt pitch well in the playoffs. Porcello is a guy you would have to count on. Pomeranz is probably their better starter But i feel dodgers might be more desperate

Industry still skeptical that #WhiteSox will move Sale. However, spoke with GM last night who said for “first time” he thinks it’s possible… https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/759007609571581953 Asked GM why. He said, “The tone of it. They've never even responded before. There's at least a discussion. Still not sure they get enough.” https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/759007622821322753

Sources: The Marlins, who have been looking for rotation depth, have an agreement in place to acquire Padres right-hander Andrew Cashner. https://twitter.com/Buster_ESPN/status/758996278927695872

QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 09:04 PM) He is letting Sanchez. Mr 135 hitter bat in key situations. And he delivers as expected Kinda funny that there were some peeps on here that wanted sanchez and saladino playing everyday. Boy would they have been disappointed

nats seek back-end bullpen help, preferably a closer. scouting robertson, davis, many others https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/758800096708337665

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 05:58 PM) Beginning to think the only deal we make is trading Robertson since they seem to be pushing him according to that article posted in the Robertson thread. Also pushing shields

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 05:47 PM) If the Sox stand pat again, I'm gonna be livid. I think all fans will be. More mired in mediocrity

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 04:55 PM) LINK Ventura on #WhiteSox being sellers before Monday's deadline: "I don't think that's going to happen." ~ Scot Gregor's twitter To clarify Ventura comment, he's not expecting any #WhiteSox selling before Monday, also said he's not the one taking calls https://twitter.com/scotgregor/status/758787623808663552

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 05:27 PM) The All-Star game was 7/12. He's pitched since then, but you're lucky to have forgotten about what happened in that game, or should I say the 9th inning of that game? Well then only one game pitched since all star game. Better be a no hitter or perfect game tonight

Sale making his first start since the all star game. How many teams will be in attendance watching sale tonight?
