QUOTE (bjm676 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 07:56 PM) Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 1h1 hour ago Nashville, TN Hahn said a couple of potential fits through tomorrow's Rule 5 Draft. But that wouldn't be the answer to an major team question I bet they draft an infielder or outfielder to compete for a bench spot.

Thoughts? Still not that pretty but the offseason isn't over yet.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 09:06 PM) Get Upton and Frazier and subtract Avi and LaRoche...I'm legit excited about this team for 2016. If those moves happen I will be. I love this move but we are still a couple bats away.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 09:05 PM) I too would like that. I do not want to rely on an Abreu LaRoche Garcia or Lawrie middle of the order. So please make it happen!

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:58 PM) No but he confirmed it. He didn't say they were definitely trying just that it is a possibility since he Lawrie has played second.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:54 PM) Interesting... He didn't say anything none of us already knew haha

QUOTE (ozzfest @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:55 PM) I'll be pissed if Danny Valencia has a better year than Lawrie. We could have gotten Valencia for nothing last year. No we couldn't have. A's had higher waiver priority.

Olt gets dfa'd in 3...2....1....

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:54 PM) No I gotcha, it makes it hard to pick up the ball or at least follow it. Yes it's awful.

QUOTE (dpd9189 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:48 PM) Not a Cub fan but Lawrie had a 0.6 WAR last year. This is nothing more than a stop gap move. If people think he's the long term answer at 3rd, he's not. Even if we still end up sucking next year, still hard to hate this move since we gave up close to nothing. Still have the main core of our minors pitching depth.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:48 PM) Agreed I meant to say it's more obnoxious in the game. I might have worded it weird the first time.

I'd prefer Heyward. Don't care that it's more money. He won't be around after year 4/5 around anyway.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:41 PM) Already nerded it out and tried him out in the Show. When he dips the bat forward I don't think it's that obnoxious as it is in real life. It's kind of annoying to play with haha

Nice move. Still need more work though.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:07 PM) Is Shuck involved or not? If he is, I'm pretty bummed. Nah. 4th outfielder. We have Thompson for that.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 07:38 PM) There is a myriad of threads discussing infield options. Not sure why we needed another. This

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 06:45 PM) that works for me. Oh God...after last night's trade I'm picturing Quintana for Trea Turner and like 4-5 other guys (mix of position players and pitchers).

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 06:44 PM) If the Sox were willing to move Tim Anderson they could probably do better than Frazier. I know the win now crowd is ready but I couldn't trade Anderson for two years of Todd Frazier when you have other glaring holes on the roster. Agree. For me he has to go for at least a guy with 3 years of control.

Thinking he just means in general since its the last night.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 06:15 PM) Last day of the meetings is tomorrow, correct? If so, is there usually any action on the last day? Not really. Most GMs leave after Rule 5 draft but something can still go down late tonight. Night is still young and anything is possible with GMs staying under the same roof.

To be fair, the ones leaking the Lawrie news are their beat writers so if not for them, we would know nothing of this deal.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 05:29 PM) Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 20s21 seconds ago Hahn to Sox fans: "I’m as impatient as any @Whatever may be on Twitter so I get it, but we're not going to do anything to calm the masses." With that I say nothing gets done this week.

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 04:41 PM) Dont be stupid Hahn, take your time and if it doesnt fit dont let KW convince you it does. I like this. I don't think many other teams will get involved. If we get him, it's at our price. They seem motivated to move him and free up the little money.

QUOTE (QuickJones81 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 04:27 PM) It was eventful. Mags leaves, Carlos Lee traded for Pods, Iguchi, AJ, Dye I think too Very active indeed.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 03:44 PM) David Murphy? Think he means Daniel
