Standing pat. We'll see. I don't agree with it. I wouldn't pay DET for Cespedes

Whelp f***. Oh well. Dad was trying to screw us. No thanks

I know I've asked nightingale a few questions

Lol at that tweet. As if Leury Garcia is holding us back from acquiring a bat.

Tick tock...tick tock... Let's go guys

Well I guess Cespedes to NYM and Upton here.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 12:39 PM) Supposedly DD wanted Gausman for Cespedes. It will be interesting to see how far the price tag drops once the clock gets close to zero. The Sox have to be one of the first, if not the first in priority who would actually put in a claim if Cespedes was put on waivers in the next few days. As for Upton, if your out of it, holding on to him for a draft pick is either a total negotiating ploy, or a total bluff. Why pay him the $6 million or $7 million left on his contract to play meaningless games? I find it hard to believe they will hang on to him. It also shows teams aren't offering much. Tigers get no compensation for Cespeds so he'll be moved.

I'd love Puig but that seems like a December trade to me. Edit: I know they're looking for a starter. So maybe somehow we package Shark for him. We'd need a SP back with Puig though unless we're slotting EJ in his spot.

Clock is ticking KW and Hahn...

Mets are targeting Cespedes. Watch the tigers pull of Wheeler for him.

It's getting close though. Waiting for news at any moment. The peavy pads deal went in right before the deadline. It'll be close I'm sure.

I've been saying as well I'd be shocked because now we're "buyers." Have to get a bat

Boston can go for it at any moment. Kimbrel gives them their closer.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 10:34 AM) I was being dramatic. Lol ok. That's why I thought Leury.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 10:07 AM) No, he meant Avi WTF would we DFA him? Makes 0 sense.

With all the WC teams adding and were buyers, I'd be shocked if we didn't work something out.

He meant Leury

@jaysonst: Teams talking to #WhiteSox say they're struggling with how impact of Cespedes or Upton would impact roster. Already overloaded at OF/DH/1B

Montas as a package for CarGo. Montas, Rondon and another low level not much prospect. They pick up all his contract. I'm not keen on a rental because it'll cost too much. Cespedes has a weird contract also. Sounds like he's going back to Detroit.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 09:42 AM) Are the Sox most likely going to plug Anderson in at SS next year? I know that Alexei is likely gone, but is Anderson the guy? That's what it sounded like from Levine this morning. He said next year for Tim Anderson

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 09:41 AM) Anderson for two months of Upton would be such a bad trade for us. If that's really what they're asking for, they can go to hell. It's not even fathomable. Pardon the pun. It's not happening.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 09:41 AM) So they aren't trading Anderson, you know they love Micah,so it would take a whole lot to get him, and Montas surely won't move for a rental. The Sox are going to be hanging on to their top guys. No need to get riled up over nothing. Exactly. Get riled up if a deal is done and you're pissed at the package.

We have to get a bat. This team was built to compete this year.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 09:37 AM) Has it been mentioned anywhere the Sox are dangling EJ or is it just speculation to get some riled up? Pure speculation. Only thing we've heard is teams are asking for Anderson and we balked.
