I expect a Q deal done tomorrow then. This is posturing and them holding off on the deal because the Sox are asking a ton like they should. I would be curious what the Sox are asking for.

Agreed...that's posturing but the Astros don't have the leverage because the Rox are lurking too.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 08:13 PM) If you get Rodgers/Hoffman, doubt you get much more on tail. Well ya just threw in some names that caught my eye.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 08:12 PM) I would think Rodgers is an untouchable for the Rockies. Well to be fair, so was Moncada. They HAVE to get Rodgers.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 08:05 PM) This is outstanding. Selling high on Eaton is so smart the more I think about it. White Sox could have a top 5 system or so after 2 deals. Still have other guys to trade. You can't just try to fill spots during a rebuild. You have to acquire the most talent available. #3, #37, and Nats 2016 1st rounder. Awesome deal. Awesome day. Hahn is gona hoard prospects like a squirrel burying its nuts.

Quintana deal starts with Rogers, then add in 2-3 more (Tapia, Hoffman/Pint/Freeland, McMahon/Dom Nunez?) Not familiar at all with their prospects.

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 07:57 PM) One of the guys on MLBN...no idea what his name is(guy on the far right). Said the White Sox have 2 more moves they are working on. We'll see if they get them done in the next day or two. Millar?

I'm gona look at the Rockies. They could be sneaky

Not much other than what we know. Astros need that last piece and have the prospects to get Quintana.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 07:39 PM) Even better is 56 win teams. If they land us a Harper, Trout, Bryant, then so be it.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 07:37 PM) I'm sorry to do this but what are rumors around Quintana? Anything meaningful? Phil Rogers on MLBN said that the Sox and Astros are far along on a deal and it could come together quickly. They did talk about Sale so I'm sure the Sox are very familiar with their prospects i.e. Eaton Nats trade after talking Sale heavily

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 07:36 PM) And they did it by loading up on position players. Bryant, Schwarber, Soler, Russell, Baez, etc. Notice a theme there? Then they spent money to get established pitching. You can also trade pitching for hitting dum dum

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 07:33 PM) So you would rather watch last year's team fail again? No no. Just saying I enjoyed those three along with Eaton

The Astros need Q badly

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 07:31 PM) You're a bit late. LOL I meant Q

I enjoyed Tim Anderson last season along with Sale, Q and Rodon.

I think the Quintana deal is done very soon. Like by midnight soon. Edit: Sorry I put Sale LOL

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 07:27 PM) I was optimistic. I let everyone talk me into the rebuild. Now I fully expect to be disappointed. Go take a f***ing nap

I'll do a frappin' backflip if they get Bregman. It's a dream however, because they wouldn't give him up for Sale.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 06:59 PM) Give me Heyman and Rosenthal or give me death. Or Merkin...who broke the Nats trade.

LOL ya sports mockery

It's always best to sell high on guys like Eaton. Most underrated thing about this is that Hahn needs praised about his contract negotiations that allowed him to nail this off-season (signing Sale, Eaton and Q to controllable contracts a couple years ago)

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 06:40 PM) Supposedly, the Sox & Astros are far along in a deal for Q according to MLB Network. Did anyone else hear that? Posted that in the Q trade.

Amsinger and Derosa clowning the Nats

Phil Rogers on MBLN just now thinks the Quintana trades can come together rather quickly with the Astros because they're pretty far down the road with them.
