QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 09:02 AM) Sox said they arent going for rental players Wasn't referring to now. In offseason.

QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 08:53 AM) Trading off a player or two is just half stepping it. The Sox really need to pick a lane. Either trade away your top chips or push all your chips onto the table for the rest of this year and next. I just don't know who the Sox can realistically expect to add in the offseason that is gonna improve this putrid offense. Reddick I think is realistic. He was looking for a 4- year extension with the A's and they only want him at 3 (why would you not give him 4th year?). However, being on the open market he'll probably get 5 (which I wouldn't be opposed to).

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 08:35 AM) I completely agree, but I'm just saying that Jerry probably thinks why trade those players when he thinks he can win with them in the future. Yeah I agree. They're probably more likely to stand pat but I could see them clearing Robertson's salary.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 08:33 AM) Yes, but is Jerry gonna do that? Jerry probably thinks why trade Shields when he could be part of the rotation the next couple years, same with Gonzalez? Not my opinion, but could be what Jerry is thinking. Probably but I'm just saying trading off a player or 2 doesn't quite mean rebuilding.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 08:19 AM) But boston doesnt have pitching for the playoffs. You need shutdown pitching and they really dont have that. Wrights been coughing up alot of runs lately. Rodriguez hasnt been very good. Price has been on and off and he doesnt pitch well in the playoffs. Porcello is a guy you would have to count on. Pomeranz is probably their better starter But i feel dodgers might be more desperate I agree. Anything reported now is just smoke and mirrors and posturing in my opinion.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 08:00 AM) Take it for what it's worth, but I have a friend who's friend's dad is a scout in the White Sox organization. My buddy asked his dad if he thinks the Sox are gonna sell, and he said "ahhhh, I don't know, Jerry really doesn't want to go through a rebuild." Like I said, take it for what it's worth, but if true, Jerry is so incompetent that this Sox team is just not good. You can sell off some pieces from the MLB team. It doesn't mean you're rebuilding and tearing it all down.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 12:44 AM) Ziegler blew the 1-0 save for the Red Sox. Good for us that he keeps blowing them while Kimbrel is out. Ziegler has given up runs in back to back games. Keep on rolling Boston.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 07:55 AM) I know a lot of you arent convinced by a lot of the Cubs guys but I will take a deal sending Q to the Cubs for Schwarber, Baez, Almora and a couple prospects you like. The reason why I would take that deal in a second is that I am convinced on those first two guys. They are sure bets IMO. They are both exactly what the Sox need. We will totally miss Q and will probably struggle for a while to find a number two equal to his quality, but damn, Schwarber and Baez would be the heart of our lineup for a long time. Their ability and their attitudes are ideal for this team right now. Those 2 other prospects would have to be their top pitching prospect and then Jimenez to me personally. I still don't think we trade Quintana or Sale there.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 07:53 AM) Industry still skeptical that #WhiteSox will move Sale. However, spoke with GM last night who said for “first time” he thinks it’s possible… https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/759007609571581953 Dave Dombrowski, is that you?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 07:16 AM) Marlins acquire Cashner from Padres, according to Buster Olney. Damn. You think that they'd value the extra year of control that Gonzalez has. Edit: posted here instead of catch-all since it relates to this thread. Cashner is going to the Marlins along with Rea for a package that includes Naylor lol SD making some good moves.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 09:34 PM) Man I'd love to have Omar Vizquel here to work with Anderson. He's really helped Iglesias Also helped Andrus in Texas and Alexei here (obviously when he was still a player).

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 09:33 PM) definitely a curse, it would be better if they sucked ass so they could easily just sell off pieces and call it a season. With Quintana on the mound tomorrow, they'll certainly lose 2-1 making it a 3 game losing streak lol

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 09:19 PM) Oh ofcourse...Domestic Violence out for the save QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 09:21 PM) Cub fans will cheer him That's sports in general man. Most of every team's fans cheers for their players regardless of what kind of person they may be off the field. Don't know why anyone would think it's different for the Cubs. Edit: not saying it's right but that's how it is in society.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 09:10 PM) I'd actually use Morneau in the pitchers spot next inning. Saladino should of been hitting instead though. Was it a double-switch that Saladino came in to? Missed it.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 09:09 PM) this organization outside of cooper us epically failing....sanchez....really brutal. you pinch hit for sanchez and do a double switch. brutal Even Cooper is kinda meh now. The best guy at their job in the organization is Herm Schneider.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 09:08 PM) Now Saladino in the game, which means Morneau easily should have been used for Sanchez. Brilliant Robin He's a very good manager./green

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 09:02 PM) Jason Castro and Carlos Gomez It totally will be. Each on 1-year deals. Edit: in rebuild mode, I don't mind those kind of moves. But I think they will try to compete next year.

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 07:32 PM) Andrew Stevenson is a realistic prospect from the Nats I think we should be looking at. This is what fangraphs had to say about him. Sounds a lot like what we were looking for from Jackson. "He only needs to be somewhat close to average with the bat to be a full-time center fielder, since his base-running and fielding abilities have enough value to make up for the lack of impact at the plate. If he can maintain decent walk rates, and he ends up being more of a 65 fielder, you’re looking at All-Star type of production." http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/evaluating-...gton-nationals/ Stevenson + Koda Glover + Taylor Hearn for Robertson and his entire contract. Get it done Hahn I accept.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 06:13 PM) It better not be a salary dump. They should be able to get some good value from a contender for an established closer with a couple of years of control. QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 06:18 PM) Exactly. I wouldn't salary dump him because he's not an awful closer. He's overpaid but we at least have a closer who can close most nights. Just can't run him out there four consecutive days. I think he could bring back close to what Chapman got personally. Other than 3-4 outings, he's had a good season.

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 06:11 PM) It amazes me that anyone thinks winning 89 games and 1 playoff game in a decade is anything even worth mentioning. It's clearly all Jim Thome's fault.

Beginning to think the only deal we make is trading Robertson since they seem to be pushing him according to that article posted in the Robertson thread.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 05:55 PM) When is the trade deadline this year? Did I read that it will be Aug. 1 since July 31 is a Sunday? You are correct. My question is what time on that day? Like 4pm central?

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 05:52 PM) I'll have mixed feelings but I don't want them giving away Sale or Q. I think they can move Robertson for certain. Sure seems like it. I'm hoping they move Melky and Frazier although if they're both here I won't care. I just don't want to see our two stud SPs given away when they're in such demand and they won't. They're not just going to give them away. They've made that very,clear by their comments (well through the media/twitter).

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 05:49 PM) Here's hoping the Sox score some runs. Lol seriously. Could be a 1-0 loss.
