QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 09:27 AM) Supposedly MLB Radio said the Sox are giving up Engel, Thompson and Avi. I don't know this report to true so don't freak out but that would be steep. I wouldn't be happy about giving up Engel. I could see Trayce because of his brother in the area that makes sense plus he was productive in his small sample size in the bigs.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 09:11 AM) Lawrie was a former top prospect who is 1 year older than Trayce Thompson. Has breakout potential. He might not do it, but he's certainly a better gamble than some of the others. I don't know the players involved but I like him as a somewhat buy low high reward type of deal.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 09:10 AM) Garcia and Lawrie put up very similar power numbers last year. .257/13/59 for Garcia, .260/16/60 for Lawrie How many were hit in Oakland? I'm on my way to work so I can't look it up. I will look it up later because I'm curious.I think he can hit 20 with us realistically.

I will say that I was pissed we didn't get Donaldsom last offseason...here's to an MVP breakout season from Lawrie! We're due for some good luck lol

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 09:00 AM) Why do you always criticize other people's ideas, yet you never throw anything out there yourself? I don't get it. Eh..it's his shtick. Whatever. I like coming up with different ideas, crazy ideas and have fun in the offseason. Some people on here take it way too serious. I like the Sox and this is an awesome board. I'm on it because it's the best on the Internet. I like the posters on here too.

Of course I go to bed early sick and this heats up Better not be Adams or Montas. My guess is Danish and Micah.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 07:18 PM) Dodgers trade: Yasiel Puig Julio Urias Joc Pederson Dodgers receive: Jose Fernandez Adam LaRoche John Danks Marlins trade Marcelo Ozuna Jose Fernandez Marlins receive: Julio Urias Carlos Rodon White Sox trade: Carlos Rodon Adam LaRoche John Danks White Sox Receive Yasiel Puig Marcelo Ozuna Joc Pederson Thoughts?? Ha and you said I was on crack for my sale proposal...JFC lose two SPs and gain 3 OFs. What we do then to fill out the staff? What we do with Eaton Avi and Trayce?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 10:13 PM) I messed up that post but I was joking because when I made the thread that Maeda was posted multiple posters just scoffed at it acting like Maeda to the DBacks was a foregone conclusion. Ah...with our interest in Tanaka, I was hoping we'd go for him.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 08:40 PM) Yikes... that's an incredibly overpay then. Not happy about this one for Arizona. But that's what happens when someone goes all in. You can get a great haul like they did. Good job by their FO turning Heyward into this package.

If that's what Miller brings, we could clean up with Sale and Quintana.

@nickpiecoro: Hearing from multiple sources Ender Inciarte, Aaron Blair and Dansby Swanson are involved in the Shelby Miller deal.

Whelp you can't sign Grienke and be finished. All or nothing.

@Ken_Rosenthal: Sources: #DBacks agree to acquire Shelby Miller from #Braves, pending a review of medical records.

@Buster_ESPN: Yankees and Cubs moving closing on a trade of Starlin Castro, according to sources.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 07:41 PM) I already hate Zobrist, so awesome! Hate him why? Just curious. Seems like an odd player to hate ya know

@Ken_Rosenthal: Source: Zobrist in agreement with #Cubs on four-year, $56M contract, pending a physical.

Cubs land Zobrist according to Ken Rosenthal

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 07:26 PM) So Diamonbacks are going to have Grienke Corbin Leake Maeda Bradley That's a great rotation in the NL. I've heard they're out on Maeda. When will we know the winner?

@BNightengale: Tyler Flowers, who was non-tendered by #WhiteSox a week ago, now can make total of $13.5 million by catching 120 games a year for #Braves. LOL

@pedrogomezESPN: Source: @Dbacks pretty close to signing Mike Leake. As another exec told me, you can't sign Greinke and stop there. If you're in, you're IN. EDIT: Wednesday 2:15 PM. Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 1h1 hour ago Nationals are making a push for Mike Leake, as @ChrisRSchubert writes: http://www.mlbdailydish.com/2015/12/9/9880...mors-mike-leake …

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 05:10 PM) Yes Kenny we know your position. Burn it down for a chance to win this year. Show me where I said that? Improving this team doesn't mean we're burning it down to go all in lol. I'm tired of watching a mediocre to crap product every year.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 05:10 PM) Yes Kenny we know your position. Burn it down for a chance to win this year. Lol ya because that's what I'm advocating.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 05:01 PM) Like DA said, Carlos Quintana is in people's head. My dad and few people are always calling him Carlos around me. The Sox aren't trading Rodon. He hasn't reached anywhere near his max value yet. LOL, did you finish the test first in class growing up? Gotta get those A's. What are you talking about? You want the Sox to stand pat? I don't. I want them to improve.

To me it's not a good thing. This team sucks. We need to improve. Get going Hahn.

No thanks I'm good.
