QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 05:32 PM) Puig is so much more electric then Abreu (from marekting perspective). Puig isn't just exciting at the plate (like Abreu), he is exciting in the field (both good and bad) and on the basepaths. Puig is one of those rare guys you stop and watch because of what he can do on the field (again, both good and bad). Yup. He would energize the fan base,

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 04:50 PM) I assume they trade Shark. I think you trade Q in the offseason where more teams are looking to trade. That would give them the chance to see how Johnson performs in the rotation. It also gives you probably another month to see Rodon and it gives them more time to see Fulmer. then the FO can make a decision if they have enough pitching to trade Q. One thing to remember, Q would only be traded in a big deal. Not trading him to trade him.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 04:57 PM) Not sure I agree. Sox added Abreu last year who had a big year but I don't think it had a major impact on this year's season ticket sales. Puig has been the more recognized and talked about player though. Due to him being in LA I get that. But the buzz is always around him.

It is weird that Larry King of all people posts it. I get he's at games and around the buzz I guess. Just seems random lol. And the fact that he threw out the white sox is interesting.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 04:11 PM) Yep. There is the soxnet threads, crazy predictions threads, samardzija threads all about those three. LOL its all Jason's fault! Just look at the packages talked about and ya should be able to cipher through them.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 05:04 PM) What? For who, Samardjiza? Sale

Dan Hayes replied to someone saying two sure fire prospects and more. Puig and Joc plus Seager and Urias for me.

I want a Dodgers trade. We need bats and they have them.

Is it the real Larry king?

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 11:10 AM) Larry King ‏@kingsthings 7m7 minutes ago Don't be surprised if the @dodgers and @whitesox make a trade before the deadline, July 31st. Larry King weighing in lmao. Im sorry, but I think this is hilarious. Is that sarcasm?

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 11:00 AM) ...and he threw out the name Yordano Ventura...although that was really his own idea. No thanks to that guy. Let's get some position players in the system, or better yet, in the major league lineup. I'd absolutely be fine with that. I'd then try to move Quintana for an impact bat.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 06:46 AM) Q is headed South IMO. Just look at his record. He is a mediocre big league starter, which is why he won't get much in a trade. Rodon still walks too many, too often behind in the count....... Mediocre? Lmao he's been great for us he's just had the worst luck and no run support.

I want hitters. We've shown the ability to draft and develop pitching.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 08:27 PM) Fangraphs has him with the 29th highest WAR among SPs. He's also had a plus 4 ERA like all year. I like him he's just not been as advertised. Now he's 3.91 due to his hot streak lately. I would t be opposed to signing him in the offseason I've just been frustrated with him.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 08:44 PM) Somebody's going to get a good pitcher in Shark. He's having a good year. What do u know? Lift and pull and we hit four home runs. Only way the Sox can win. Good pitching and some home runs. We're back in the race, baby! !! Actually not, but this is how the team was supposed to win this year. He's not having a good year.

Well I'm sure he knows he's gone

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 07:21 PM) This is enough to make you want to get pissed at them. There's just no way they think we're going to start getting hot with the bats. We're playing f***ing Cleveland. Sell. Sell. Sell.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 07:04 PM) Yes he has been awful and isn't hitting near enough He wants a $100 million dollar contract and hasn't been anywhere near that except for a stretch before the all star break.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 06:46 PM) I want hitting prospects Yes. We need to make some moves and get some hitters.

Good get this bum out of town.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 03:37 PM) Well is next start is today. Better hope he pitches well. Ya I forgot to add in next start next week. I know he's pitching tonight.

I think Shark is dealt before his next start. I'm guessing to Toronto early next week.

Kazmir traded to Astros. Cross them off Shark list.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 07:23 AM) Thoughts of trading Sale makes every Sox fan sad. However, with all the holes on this team, management needs to ask themselves, "how can we accelerate our progress". One way do this would be to trade from the teams strength which is starting pitching. If Sale is untouchable, they must look into dealing Quintana. Quintana's cost control is ridiculous for his age and performance. He won't bring back the type of package Sale would, but he will bring back a package that can most likely fill at least two of the glaring positional needs. Since free agents cost draft picks, don't expect them to go this route anytime soon. Lastly, the final option to fill up all these holes would be to simply undergo a rebuild. This means it would make zero sense to keep Sale as it would likely burn 3 additional years off his career. He is in his prime now, any trade for Sale would bring you an absolute haul and can completely transform a teams future. With all speculation aside in regards to Sale and Q, expect Shark to be dealt within the next 5 days. Today will be his final start in a white sox uniform. I'm hopefull to obtain a catcher for him. It sucks. Spring training I laughed at the thought of trading him. But nothing is going in our favor. Maybe we can keep him, and trade shark and Quintana and get some bats and improve this team. Sale is the only reason I watch. I just can't watch terrible baseball. It pisses me off. If we were at least scoring and had exciting games I'd probably watch more but there's no point when on a rare good night, we score 5 runs.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 22, 2015 -> 08:46 PM) Don't feel like wading through this thread in it's entirety. Is there any actual rumors regarding the White Sox and Puig? Or is this a 14 page thread with posters just making random trade proposals? IIRC, it all started with Matt Spiegel's trade suggestion on Twitter last week.
