SD will be getting $ relief (but will pay down portion). Chisox said no to Tim Anderson or other top prospects. https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/739167401539981312 With no top prospects given up for him I can deal with it

Padres, chisox are moving close to a James shields deal https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/739167056122220546

Sources: Padres, White Sox in advanced stages of trade talks involving James Shields. Deal likely by tomorrow. https://t.co/vEZnUBvFar https://twitter.com/The_Xsport/status/739164060126609408

Padres expected to deal Shields; White Sox remain likely: The Padres have agreed to trade right-hander James… https://t.co/V9Ca0Xhdy2 https://twitter.com/sandiegojournal/status/...164373344608256

Let's be clear the #Whitesox definitely are not trading prized SS Tim Anderson in talks with #Padres for Shields https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/739163828001243136

The San Diego #Padres are expected to trade James Shields within 24 hours, and Chicago #Whitesox still are heavy favorites to land him. https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/739159838333112320

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 09:55 AM) Hopefully THIS is the case when Melky comes back. Then somebody else will need to learn 1st base

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 09:56 PM) Kahnle and Purke are just reminding me that it's sad Erik Johnson isn't good enough to be on a 12-man pitching staff. Well kahnle is going back down

Kahnle back to Charlotte. Corresponding move tomorrow. https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/738924153617551360

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 09:34 PM) Team has no prayer if Eaton, Abreu and Frazier aren't above average hitters. Expected loss, but disappointing to see them get blown out late. Sale needs to be ready from pitch one tomorrow against a loaded lineup Basically only eaton, Abreu and Melky are your only an above average hitters. Frazier doesn't hit for average just hits homeruns in key spots. Problem is Frazier is the only run producing at right now.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 09:32 PM) Maybe you have better ideas ? LOl so the guy is a failure already ? WHo coming here who is available doesn'y have a chance of failure ? How much longer till he's healthy and then you have to get him in the minors trying to get the rust off. Can't really wait to see if he can do contribute of you need it now

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 09:31 PM) Doubt he gets you much. To me, his ceiling is a quality utility player. Don't think he will ever hit enough to start. Not saying he's a main point but a part that another team may see if he's more then a utility player. For the Sox he's nothing more then a utility player

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 09:27 PM) How is he limited defensively. He can play SS and 2nd and 3rd . I just think he's a better option than Rollins . Could can play those positions but not a great theres Best use of him is to be part if a package to upgrade another position

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 09:23 PM) Would get a LH power bat and have money for more additions . That's why you go after him. And he ends up not fully living up to expectations like Jackson and Rollins so you keep adding till someone starts fully producing

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 09:23 PM) I don't agree . He's a useful glove and switch hitter. If he's the best guy for the job let him contribute with what he does best. Again he's limited defensively and can't hit his weight. Not sure what he's useful on a team trying to contend

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 09:18 PM) I really hope the Sox go after Morneau when he is healthy. Probably would be the cheapest best option we can find. Sox going after scrap players to see if they have any resembles of their former selves are the reason they are in the situation they are in

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 09:13 PM) Not to mention our terribleness against righthanders. Rollins and Sands should be the first ones off the 25. Try Coats keep Sanchez up and on the team.Or that lefty 1st baseman we have in the minors. Only time sanchez should be on the major league roster is letting him try to see if he can be a everyday player and carry his weight in hitting. Sox can't afford to let that happen with them if they can contend

Salad is who I thought he was

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 08:10 PM) Kahnle warming up...means some of the guys likely aren't available today That waa the point of kahnle being brought up. Also Putnam was available and rest of the pen was flip the coin. Trying to rest the guys.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 2, 2016 -> 02:57 PM) Bat Albers makes it to Topps. http://www.csnchicago.com/chicago-white-so...d-baseball-card https://www.topps.com/collectibles/trading-...topps-now.html/ Only 24 hours to buy it

Shuck on SS Tim Anderson: 'I think he could come up and do well. He has that personality -- he's not going to get rattled' https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/737291729515216898

J.B. Shuck is with the White Sox today. https://twitter.com/ChiTribKane/status/737282060860174336

http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/james-s...osenthal-052916 Ken Rosenthal thinks shields would be good fit with sox

Padres and White Sox talks are fluid. $58 owed to Shields will be deciding factor if deal gets done .Tim Anderson will not be in the deal https://twitter.com/MLBBruceLevine/status/737022522928029697
