@Buster_ESPN: Last year, Dioner Navarro posted an .894 OPS vs. lefties, so White Sox can work a platoon of he and the left-handed hitting Alex Avila.

Whelp I was hoping for a trade but I'll take it.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 12:15 AM) True but Perez doesn't have magic glasses to enhance his super uber pitch framing abilities! Well I mean someone's gota look pretty for the ultimate pitch frame for his baseball card.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 12:02 AM) I wouldn't really say Tyler Flowers has defensive value.. pitch framing metrics liked him but how much of this can be attributed to the fact that he had Sale and Quintana who have pretty spot on control throwing to him 2/5 days a week? Other than that I remember him as being clunky and bad behind the plate with a horrible arm.. I agree. If all you can say is he's good at pitch framing then he's just not worth it. It's not like Flowers could wipe out a teams running game like Sal Perez can do.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 11:52 PM) Mesoraco would be awesome. Huge fan of his. Wonder how the hip is doing. Still think it's gotta be Navarro. Hahns comments would be strange if he were on the doorstep of a trade. Why would they be strange? Leverage?

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 11:29 PM) I thought Ken Rosenthal's latest article would have something about our next catcher...nope....it's about trading Chris Sale...again National media wants him on a contender. F 'em Rick let's grant their wish and build a frappin' contender!

@Pirates: INF Pedro Alvarez & OF Jaff Decker have not been tendered contracts for the 2016 season. #Pirates Only post this because his name has been mentioned on here.

Not too many Sox podcasts around so I posted it. Like I said, it was ridiculous. I listened but cringed at how mad they were. Is it Aveea or AviLA? Always thought AviLA

If you have an issue with this move, put down the keyboard. I didn't know he had knee surgery and at his age and size I'm glad they're cutting bait.

Lol I couldn't believe how much they were freaking out...like we just traded Chris Sale or something. This team has so many holes one more isn't sinking this ship lol.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 10:40 PM) I'm super anxious to see what the corresponding move to this will be....hopefully Hahn doesn't f*** this up. I'm eagerly awaiting it also. I think if it was a FA it'd be done already.

Just listened to the SSSox podcast and they're losing their mind over this move lol.

@ChiTribKane: Tyler Flowers was surprised by White Sox cutting him. "It really still doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to go this route with it." But... @ChiTribKane: But Tyler Flowers said maybe decision will make more sense when he hears next move. Either way, he expects a decent market for his services.

QUOTE (lord chas @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 09:31 PM) I don't want to sound like Bernstein and make baseless rumors based on "sources" But hearing through my buddy that the main sticking point to this deal going through is that the Brewers want Anderson. I guess we will all find out soon enough Ya well I bet

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 08:39 PM) Another catcher to watch as a buy-low type: Devin Mesoraco. #WhiteSox-#Reds have had dialogue. #Reds need pitching. #WhiteSox need power. https://twitter.com/ChiSoxraBBit/status/672225749307400192 Ran across this. Not sure about how the guy who tweeted. Mesoraco had a really nice year in 2014 Wonder if this could be part of a Frazier package.

@scotgregor: Would be surprised if Dioner Navarro was #WhiteSox new catcher target. They had no interest in him after 2013, when he was free agent So if not him, who?

@scotgregor: Would be surprised if Dioner Navarro was #WhiteSox new catcher target. They had no interest in him after 2013, when he was free agent @philgrogers: Something has to change w/#White Sox lineup but Flowers has value working w/pitchers. Dioner Navarro's a good guess at who's next.

@CSNHayes: Rick Hahn said this is part of a plan, #WhiteSox hope to add another catcher in coming days.

So I'm expecting some news shortly. Obviously it's Navarro with what Hahn said and then Passan says it's a fit. Just putting two and two together seems like that's it. At least there's something to discuss now. It's been killing me with the silence

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 08:00 PM) We're no longer deciding on what to do!!! Turner the corner baby!....ok maybe not

Quintan will net a small army like Dan Hayes has said. Keep that in mind.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 07:34 PM) The problem is there are very few of them. Look at Flowers minor league numbers before he showed he has a tough time hitting. I don't trust catchers minor league numbers. There in lies why I accept a platoon.

Sox trade Quintana for Buster Posey! Just kidding lol
