QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 12:03 AM) Jose Quintana for Nolan Arenado. *Drops mic* My boy!! Though it'd realistically have to be Sale for Arenado

I wouldn't be opposed to a blockbuster trade

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 08:28 AM) My wife is an RT at a Level I Trauma Center and she has said that when people under 40 have some catastrophic medical issue such as this, 95% of the time it is drug/alcohol related. There are some rare freak genetic issues that do account for the other 5%. Not saying it is but that's what I wondered. Closet alcoholic maybe like C.C. Anywho, not passing judgment. I liked the guy I was just curious. Life is so precious.

RIP man. One of my favorites. Loved him with ATL. Too many injuries. He didn't stick with us but it was nice having a player I watched in our minors for a little bit. This s*** is just brutal. Rest easy buddy. Catastrophic organ failure at his age? Crazy. I'll be interested to see why.

if we move Sale, big if, I'd only do it for an Arenado type swap. Arenado package is the deal I'd be fine with if it HAD to be done.

Quintana needs to net us an impact bat. Only way I'm trading him. He's too valuable. That's why a trade with LAD for Puig makes sense. They're looking to move on from him. I don't know if they'd do a Montas deal for him. Quintana has more value than Puig right now I'm sure, so I'd imagine it'd be a big deal. This team isn't good enough to give up a few prospect for him either.

I'd love one move this week. Something to get a little happy about.

Laying ground work for their plan. I expect no action for a few weeks

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 06:06 PM) IOW " If I could fleece the Sox the way Oakland did last winter, how could I resist?". How exactly were we fleeced?

Ok so I'm guessing they're working out contractual things. Crossing Is dotting Ts especially with Robin and the rest of the staff on one year deals (?).

@JeffPassan: Source: Minnesota Twins won rights to Byung-Ho Park with $12.85 million posting bid.

Fun while it lasted

This team has a plan. If anyone thinks otherwise you're crazy. Whether they execute it or not remains to be seen.

QUOTE (daggins @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 09:43 AM) Twins trade Plouffe before he gets expensive. Install Sano at 3B. That's a big ass 3B

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 09:41 AM) I don't see how it can be Minnesota when they have Mauer/Sano/Plouffe at 1B/DH/3B That's why this is kind of fascinating. Trying to see where he fits.

Those are valid points except this guy is 29. Abreu was 2 years younger.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 09:26 AM) Last year it was announced just before 10:30 in the morning Makes sense then with teams being eliminated by the minute. We get this guy I'm going to be playing some MLB the show lol

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 09:25 AM) A Korean baseball writer tweeted this: Daniel Kim 대니얼 김 ‏@DanielKimW 1m1 minute ago Sources: Chicago Blue Socks won the bidding for Park Byung-ho Well expansion third team?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 09:22 AM) Phillies, Brewers, Reds, Cubs, White Sox, Twins. Phillies, Reds are rebuilding so that makes zero sense. Cubs have Rizzo Twins have Mauer and Sano so it can't be them Brewers maybe? White Sox would cut ties with LaRoche

This is crazy. We should know in a few hours I'm guessing.

The agent for Byung-ho Park, Alan Nero, told Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that he does not know which MLB team won the bidding for his client. FOX Sports' CJ Nitkowski tweeted Monday morning that it was the Pirates, but that quickly got shot down by multiple veteran news-breakers, including ESPN's Buster Olney and Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. The team that placed the blind winning bid for Park (at $12.85 million) should be revealed soon in order to begin the 30-day contract negotiating process. So far the Bucs, Mariners, Red Sox, Rangers, Cardinals, Orioles, Indians, Tigers, Yankees, Royals, Athletics, Braves, Blue Jays, Angels, Mets, Diamondbacks, Dodgers, Marlins, and Padres have been ruled out. Park, a 29-year-old first baseman, hit .343/.436/.714 with 53 home runs and 146 RBI in 140 games this past year for the Nexen Heroes of the Korea Baseball Organization.

He's got a nice bat flip....watching hot stove on MLBN and they showed a couple highlights

Certainly would be interesting considering there's a 30 day negotiating window and we'd have 30 days to deal with LaDunn

I'd seriously be stunned if we made this move...

@Buster_ESPN: This is not a confirmation, but some rival evaluators believe that Oakland won the bidding for Byung-ho Park. Again: Not confirmation.
