And caught for Gio in Milwaukee last year.

And I'm not really sure LAA farm system is deep enough to pull off a trade for an impact arm. Trout's extension, Rendon's contract they might have some financial constaints now..

I wouldn't help the Red Sox out. So glad the Price market is dwindling. It also shows that Boston is asking for way to much. So if the twins want to meet their asking price then so be it. And all better for the central and all better for us!

I can never figure out the Blue Jays.

So what kind of contract do we think Edwin will get?

Yeah I like these moves too. Solid bats. Alot of flexibility and depth. And most importantly all of this was attained without sacrificing prospects. (Minus Steele Walker) very successful offseason. Speaking of Walker, how much control do the Whitesox have with Nomar Mazara in RF? One year? 2 years?

This is very true.

Very good point!

Mr. Jenkins you're getting me excited with all that pitching coming up the pipeline. And throw in Cease and Giolito and in 1 or 2 years wow!

I know I just did the same thing but decided to hold offfrom posting until I read it all this time. Lol

Completely agree with this. I really wonder if Boston's goal of shedding salaries is more for a Betts extension rather than moving payroll under the luxury tax.

Very good. Finally the CWS are leading in something - being desperate. Lol before this the only thing we lead baseball on was minority hiring and fan safety (nets from foul pole to foul pole).

I don't think Vaughn comes up in June. He maybe fast tracked. But not that fast. Don't get me wrong would love to see that. But I really like your lineup. And I think it's going to sneak up on the league and fans in general.

Thank you. That is all I was getting at. Orlando's post was funny. Now I might get a little defensive if a Yankees fan posted that or a cubs fan. But it wasn't. It was posted from a Sox fan. And I think Sox fans "get it"

Orlando that's just wrong! Funny though. Very funny. And true.

He has a horse there. Really, a horse

Makes me wonder what it would've taken from our white Sox to land him? With such a light return and our deep system especially compared to the rangers and angels much thinner systems. I get Cleveland probably wanted him out of the division but he fits our timetable. He leaves for FA when our young pitchers are up and ready.

I'm good with this as long as they get off the Vaughn and Madrigal return. I mean I feel neither one should go anywhere. I'm nervous about Dunning or Steaver going too. We're helping them out! They are the ones with the financial issues. Send them Pinkington or a Flores and I would pick up $20 million/yr for the rest of his contract.

Welcome to Soxtalk! I agree with this assessment. Not really thrilled with trading for Price. As someone posted earlier this is Hahn's fault. Now with every aging pitcher with a huge salary on the trading block, clubs expect a Tatis Jr. In return. As if the salary dump isn't enough! The price would have to be right. No pun intended.

Agreed!

Ouch.

A Chuck Garfien tweet

Dude! You're killing me Smalls!

It would be! I mean the way it was described by Chuck was Kenny and Rick discussing this big offer at dinner ( which had happened half of the winter meetings or whatever he said) but everyone knows the bosox are trying to move Price. I don't think that would be a lot to mull over. But Sale coming back??????

Crap!!!!! Really hoping that we could grab him
