QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 12:24 PM) I wonder if one of the reason they got Shields is possible trade bait before the deadline. I don't think so but if they did decide to sell he would at least be a cheaper innings eater option than before for a team.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 5, 2016 -> 02:30 PM) We are just a grand slam away from the lead The tough part is getting three guys on base in an inning.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 5, 2016 -> 02:23 PM) I still don't know how much Hahn is hamstrung by Kenny and Jerry. Maybe Hahn does suck too, but I'd certainly like to see what Hahn can do without Kenny there. f*** it. Fire em all.

QUOTE (harkness @ Jun 5, 2016 -> 02:18 PM) Ventura didn't even want the job..... That's true too. He had to be convinced to take it. Like what the flying f***.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 5, 2016 -> 02:12 PM) We will now be 0-6 in last 6 division games. Just unreal Sox can't drive a run in from 3rd and 2 out runs given up the last 5 years collectively. 1-9 in last 10 if you go a bit further. Edit: actually 0-9 in last 9.

Turned it off. It's too nice of a day to waste watching this trash.

Bunting with 2 outs lmao swing the f***ing bat

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 5, 2016 -> 01:29 PM) Is anyone going to be surprised when we pick up Carl Crawford and make him the full-time DH/LFer at some point this week...? Then everyone will say KW finally got his man, albeit five years too late. After ten days when he's released, I would not be at all shocked to see him signed for league minimum.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 5, 2016 -> 12:32 PM) The offseason was fine. The additions were solid. If Abreu were playing like his usual self, this team would be in first place. It's that simple. Yep and imagine if we trade for another bat whole Abreu gets it going.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 5, 2016 -> 12:34 PM) So I just realized that this makes our 2017 and 2018 rotations: Sale Quintana Shields Rodon Fulmer Sign me up! Assuming Fulmer pans out/isn't part of a trade for a controllable bat, yes.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 5, 2016 -> 11:40 AM) I think the big takeaway here is just how worthless Sands is. He's literally a backup platoon DH who can't even get playing time when we're down two OFs. Rick Hahn please get his ass off this roster. But he plays first base (terribly)!/green.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 5, 2016 -> 11:35 AM) I wonder how many (if any) MLB teams other than us would sport a deadly Rollins/Sands combination on their 25-man roster. Along with Garcia and Shuck in the mix for playing time. Yuck.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 5, 2016 -> 11:16 AM) This is the one way the Sox can hold on to both pitchers. This is roster management. Not true. Gonzalez has an option left (options are good for a full season). Unless you meant just on the 25-man roster in general than yes it is.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 5, 2016 -> 07:26 AM) $27 million isn't nothing, and he is signed for the next 2 seasons as well. The Sox also have LaRoches money to play with, which they didn't when the others were a available. If he sucks, this will be a bit of a drain. If he can be a solid #4 starter, it isn't a lot of money in today's game. The Padres still will be paying him more than the Sox. I wonder what the breakdown is in Padres payments to the Sox, as far as what per season. According to Dan Hayes, Sox pay: 2016: $5 million 2017: $10 million 2018: $10 million And then $2 million buyout. Makes sense that we would have to cover this. I assume Padres would pay the rest of the salary for each year. To put things into perspective, Danks is making $15.75 million this season according to Baseball Reference.

Even if Eaton is a great RF, if Jackson is out I'd still rather have him in center as he's the next best option for center.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 03:59 PM) Not bad. Let's call it $7M this year, and $10M in 17 and 18. That ain't bad for James Shields. Less than half of what he's due. I assume we'd pay the buyout. Maybe 7, 9, 9, and then the 2 mill buyout?

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 03:47 PM) Sources: The minor leaguers the Padres are getting for Shields are Fernando Tatis Jr. and Erik Johnson. https://twitter.com/sdutdennislin/status/739196163723694080 No bad...but let's hear the confirmation on the money part.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 03:45 PM) Another strikeout for Rollins Time to hang them up.

QUOTE (BamaDoc @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 02:29 PM) Maybe Avi not playing because in Shields deal? One can hope.

So who gets dfa'd or moved to the pen? Latos or Gonzalez?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 02:22 PM) I approve of this message. Fitting that Rowand is commenting on this post.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 02:11 PM) Honestly if he hits better then Jackson and can play adequate cf I would have jay starting most of the time Yeah...and the left handed part of a platoon does that.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 02:07 PM) I hope Avisail is a Padre, quite frankly. I could see him going the other way. A young project with control. Seems like the kind of guy that seems right for a deal like this.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 02:05 PM) Well Jon Jay would certainly be an upgrade over Shuck and Avi. Platoon him with Jackson moving Jackson to backup OF most of the time.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 01:51 PM) It'd be 8.5 million a year on average for Sox if padres paid half. Looking at baseball reference, he's set to make $21 mill in each of 17 and 18. That'd be 11.5 we owe him those years. He has an option for $16 mill the following year.
