QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 12:06 PM) Traded to the Angels for cash Would have liked a player to be named later but oh well.

Does Larry King have any connections with the Dodgers front office? Seems pretty randpm to toss out the Sox as a trade partner.

Levine on the score today said that the Royals are very interested as well.

Don't think the hugs meant much guys

Get Putnam out there now for the scouts. I think Toronto is looking for relief help.

If they trade Shark for pitching depth, I'm completely open to dealing Q for hitting. You'd keep Sale Rodon Danks in rotation for next season, possibly Fulmer sometime next season or an MLB ready SP from Shark trade or go out and Sig a stop gap mid rotation type.

It also sounds like 3 SD starters are available too (Shields, Ross, Cashner)

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 01:16 PM) Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 20m20 minutes ago On value of sandwich pick -- observer thinks 31-40 in 2016 may not yield an impact player but could produce an evday MLBer. Better than '15. Worth noting, definitely interesting to think about. It should be lower than 31 as guys will give up first rounders to sign guys.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 10:40 AM) Conversely, I'd be very pissed if this is all they got for Shark and Alexei. I looked up Diaz and I agree with you.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 10:27 AM) I definitely like your idea of linking Alexei and Samardzija together. I just can't see the White Sox taking his $11 million option. I can see them signing Alexei to a 1 year $4 million deal if they truly feel Anderson isn't ready OR they can't improve this position via a separate trade. I'm ok with him coming back cheap, but I'd also be ok if they let Saladino play short next season as a stopgap.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 22, 2015 -> 07:18 PM) Way too many Cardinals fans at these games Whatever helps fill our seats

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jul 22, 2015 -> 07:13 PM) Maybe Sox get Cano as PTBNL....................................... It would have to be a 3-team deal as Cano doesn't play for the Rockies.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 22, 2015 -> 06:50 PM) It is that time of the year again where nobody cares about the games because we suck and all we care about is the trade deadline and all the speculation Yes Over/under 9.5 pages in this thread?

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 22, 2015 -> 01:55 PM) From what Peter Gammons wrote yesterday, it sounds like the four prospects that Dodgers will not trade in a rental are Barnes, Urias, Seager, and Jose DeLeon. They like Barnes a lot and have and have moved him around the IF to build up some positional flexibility to play 2B and 3B. They are giving him a test out at C now and I would not be surprised to see them sell high on Grandal rather than moving Barnes. I really wanted Grandal the past two off-season because he felt like the type of player they could use. High obp, switching hitting catcher whos young.

Plays like that from Reynolds is why they might be a fit for Laroche

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 21, 2015 -> 05:52 PM) So I'll just say this once and you can trash me for it. I'd remove Robertson. Take best available offer and clear out that contract. Goal: something similar in value to a 2nd round pick. Agree 100%. In the off-season, I didn't want the Sox to sign any reliever to a lot of money. Then they signed Robertson for a lot and then I kind of figured "Well now that he's here, I won't complain as long as he's getting the job done." He's doing his job but it would be nice to clear his salary and potentially receive something for him. He's got what, 3/36 left on his deal?

With more guys being available, I don't see us getting much back for Shark. I think he finishes the season with the team and we collect the draft pick. Lets hope he signs early in the off-season so we can get an earlier pick in that round.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 20, 2015 -> 06:12 PM) Well when you realize the Sox could've had Kendry Morales or Adam Lind for considerably less it sucks looking at his stats and his salary. Dayton Moore smarter than Hahn/Williams ? Luckier ? If the Sox can dump LaRoche maybe trade for Lind. I'm pretty sure Lind is a free agent after this year. Sox will not trade for him.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 11:58 AM) I hope Saladino is more than a utility infielder. If Saladino has a good glove and can hit, he can play 2B for the foreseeable future, unless Micah figures out how to play D or Sanchez learns how to hit. Hell, if he hits good over the next two months, you might as well give him the SS position for next year while buying out Alexei's option.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 09:10 AM) I sure hope not. I'm just gonna lie and say I'm 21. My dad thinks they'll buy it Anyone who's like 16 or younger shouldn't get one since ten years ago, they likely had no idea what was going on lol

Anyone know if they will actually enforce the 21+ for the rings? Going today and want to make sure I get one.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 07:14 AM) Another theory. They're trying out Montas on MLB pitching to see how he holds his own. If he does well, they'll try him out in the closer role and move Robertson to a contender before the deadline. That would be huge. I'm open to trading Robertson to shed the salary.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 07:49 AM) interesting..... i like it. I'd like to see him traded first and then possibly brought back in the off-season.

If the Sox potentially see him as a reliever long-term, maybe other teams do too. What if the Sox were showcasing him to package him with Samardzija to a team that needs a starter and another reliever? That would certainly have to interest Houston and Toronto into giving something real up.

Gonna go with yes, but not in a Sox uni. Not saying they trade him now but when he is able to hit open market, they won't pay what it'll take to keep him.
