@Joelsherman1: Had been some buzz on #Orioles and Cespedes, but team exec thinks it is doubtful Balt lands him. #Tigers

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 07:25 PM) Bold moves are why our farm system was in shambles and we are in the spot we have been in the last few years. Sustainable teams have a deep farm system that they use to restock major league talent and use for trade chits. If we dont get into the playoffs with this gamble then you burned it for nothing. This bold move nonsense is foolish. I would rather keep our talent and use it when we are truly in a spot to compete. Our farm system just flat out sucked minus Gio. Look at the guys we've moved and tell me who irks you that we've moved.

No way

@MLBBruceLevine: WSox pursuing hitter with RBI pop Cespedes -Upton and Bruce available at right priceTeams asking for shortstop Tim Anderson -answer is no

Nice. Let's go offense. You're fun to watch

Nasty

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 07:21 PM) Just good hitting by Ortiz. Yup that's why I would've given him the base.

Get out of this Chris. You got this

Just put him on

Sit down b****

Sale got hit square on the knee from a rocket off the bat of Boegarts (spelling be damned) for those asking

Ouch!

Man I thought LaRoche killed it

Put this dog down early.

Abreu! Stir that s***

Stir it!

We've played well against TOR and HOU. Bring it on! Give me a bat and let's go to work

What you have to remember is these deals go well into the night. The price deal was done at 3am. Tulo was done at 1 am.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:34 PM) When did he say that? I went to his Twitter and found nothing. Someone mentioned earlier I think in the buyers thread.

@KnightsBaseball: ROSTER MOVES: #WhiteSox acquire Justin Sellers via trade with #Pirates, assign him to #CLTKnights. 2B Micah Johnson placed on the DL.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:26 PM) I don't see Cespedes happening either. I was just thinking and trying to understand the Upton interest. Obviously the Sox are in need of another bat but what I'm thinking is that the main target is not Upton, but Ross. I'm sure the Sox would prefer a bat that is not a rental but if taking on a rental to get one of the best GB pitchers in the league is what it takes, it might not be so bad depending on the cost. I will say that Upton plays much better defense than Avi and hits for more power so there are two big benefits. I'm curious about what a package would look like. Avi, Erik Johnson, Micah Johnson + ? Ya could be adding both because Morosi said this morning we were looking at SPs.

Lol chuck going big @ChuckGarfien: You're asking who White Sox should get? A real coup would be Evan Longoria. Hahn wants long term solutions. He's 1 of the best 3Bs.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:15 PM) Put this in the Soria thread, but I have a feeling that we are in a 3-team trade with the Pirates and Tigers involving Soria, Sellers, and Cespedes. Sox love their three ways lol
