@jonmorosi Anthony Swarzak is a sleeper trade candidate. He's having career year with #WhiteSox, will be free agent after '17; 1.00 WHIP in 41 IP. @MLB Sorry posting from my phone

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 09:13 AM) Nightengale has nothing. Rosenthal has nothing. Heyman has nothing. Passan was all over the place, nothing specific. Those guys saying something is close would seem to help the White Sox extract a bigger package. So if something is close, I question the lack of leaks, unless the package is so premium, they would be worried the opposite side would pull out if word leaked out. But the almost three team deal on Christmas Eve wasn't really reported until a few months later right? We have a couple weeks til the deadline still but I trust Rabbit and Dave. I also know not to jump the gun and will wait til a big name says it's close or done.

It's smart to get this done sooner than later because of other teams still in limbo in regards to whether they're buying or selling.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 08:25 AM) I thought the Pirates/Yankees fan bases rated him appropriately. Completely unsurprised most think they can get him with trash as that is typical, we do it too. Astros fans were the harshest, but it seemed to be coming from complete confidence that all of their prospects were awesome, which, I would hope is the case since we are trying to acquire theirs. Haven't met a rockies fan in my life and haven't seen much from brew crew. It's the Astros and Braves really

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 08:20 AM) I'm surprised by how many fanbases are reacting negatively to their team's perceived interest in Quintana. Typically fans want their team to go for it and trade for impact talent. Quintana just does not resonate with most casual fans outside of Chicago it seems. Knowledgeable fans know how valuable he is. It's because of his name, record and start this year. People of those fan bases don't know about the 65 NDs since 2012

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 08:03 AM) Would anyone argue Aaron Judge was completely unavailable this past offseason despite his poor results last year? Or Joey Gallo, for example? I traded Q to NY in MLB the show back during the winter meetings for a Frazier, Judge + package. Little did I know he'd blow up lol

Been waiting for this deal for awhile now. I'm gona miss Q. Long live the Serpent! I fully trust Hahn on this one. He's set us up nicely.

Just Lose Baby

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 12:41 PM) Then how come all these position player prospects are off the table for Q? Teams are just balking at Quintana. They landed Moncada in the Sale trade.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 12:32 AM) No, I hope it's the best player available. This. BPA always. Can trade pitching for bats later.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 20, 2017 -> 12:52 PM) I could see many scenarios where Q doesn't get dealt. Say the pieces we got back this off-season start to contribute right away, I could absolutely see a scenario where the Sox keep Q and try to retool faster then we think (whether it via free agency money or something else). I don't see it as a foregone conclusion that Q is dealt. If that really happened and our young core took off, then I would be alright with it. Quintana, Rodon, Fulmer, Giolito, Lopez, Kopech, Hansen. LOADED.

Still no deal. Bruce Levine full of s*** again. I expect Q to be moved by the deadline along with DRob, Frazier, Melky.

I'd like a banner of Rodon, Moncada, Kopech and Anderson. Q is gone at some point. So this new banner should be the "future"

So, is this thing any closer to a resolution or is this dragging on until ST?

I'm glad I'm busy with school, so I don't have to keep updating this thread lol. Imagine what Q is thinking and going through. Just ready for this one to get done.

One of my very first games at the Cell was when Gavin Floyd almost no-hit the Tigers and took it into like the 8th inning.

Something has to give soon. Waiting on that Rosenthal breaking news. That's who I'm waiting for.

Bunch of bulls*** though the media. So, I'll wait and see in a few hours.

Why would the Yankees want Robertson? They just paid Chapman. I don't buy the report. This is pressure on the other teams.

This'll fall through because of Pittsburgh. I'm honestly waiting for a Houston nugget. Maybe not. Maybe they're staying true to their word and will only give up what they want.

They also signed Nova the other day

Man, that is truly tough to swallow if you're a Pirates fan.

Then there is your hold up

I really am ready to get this trade over with. I'd like to have some new prospects to look over while on break.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 02:31 PM) The Pirates best chance of winning the next 2 seasons would involve trading for Q and hanging on to and hoping for a bounce back from Cutch. Anything else is just maximum effort half assing. I agree. The whole Yankees for McCutchen doesn't make that much sense considering their timeline and what they'd give up. I think both want Quintana and someone will go all-in very soon.
