Cease is pitching tomorrow apparently and Cubs are actually considering calling him up.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 03:34 PM) Sox would make every one of those trades. I was going to say, I think they would accept all of them.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 03:10 PM) It's hard to believe this rebuild started with such a bang, and 7 months later we are still awaiting the next trade. Kinda figured it would be that way. Could say the same had they traded Q in December.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 03:01 PM) 19 days from now. 19 long days. Good bye productivity.

QUOTE (whitesoxwinner @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 02:48 PM) Cubs number 2 prospect number 63 in MLB top 100. Doubt it has anything to do with the sox. Probably just hurt again.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 02:25 PM) Should be noted today is an off day of sorts for media. For beat writers, They're either traveling or have two consecutive days for the last time until October (other than vacation). Pretty much the worst 2 days of the year for major league sports fans.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 01:41 PM) I used to go to at least 65 games a year so it really was spread out. The last couple of years I have had weekends, and it seems since they got Shields, he's been pitching a lot on weekends. When the both are healthy Shields and/or Gonzo has almost been a lock. And it would be OK, but at least 3 or 4 times the game was over in the 1st or 2nd inning. Makes for an uninteresting game. Last time I saw Shields the game was over in the first. My brother lives in Switzerland and was in town and wanted to go to a game. He told me Thursday or Friday. Shields was pitching Thursday. Thank God he decided Friday. And it was a nice game. 3 in the 9th to beat Texas. Also at that game. Great time.

QUOTE (Username @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 01:48 PM) Miggy was re-assigned to Birmingham oddly enough earlier. Was trying to draw a connection based on rotation turns but couldn't figure it out. Maybe AAA was off a few days and AA wasn't? I really don't know. I'm just guessing here.

QUOTE (Sockin @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 11:25 AM) Merkin: Fri--James Shields, Sat--Derek Holland, Sun--Jose Quintana https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/885173172928204801 If he stays til 7/31, Q faces Seattle, KC and Cleveland. He could move up a day between the KC and Cleveland starts since there are 2 days off.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 10:21 PM) I remember when first acquired that there was thought that he would play CF. May actually have some in Charlotte before called up. Charlotte? I'm pretty sure he played CF in the MLB a few games.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 06:34 PM) I'm pretty sure that this was in future sox already but pretty cool that Kopech squared off against Moncada in the futures game earlier. 2 days ago haha

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 06:24 PM) For the record, would hate a depth package for Q. Need at least one "sure thing" No such thing.

QUOTE (Username @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 04:17 PM) Man this Q suspense is killing me. Felt like something was brewing with that weird Twins rumor (seems like a leverage leak) and all the talk about the Sox "outrageous asking price" (more posturing). Then the McGuffey rumor, plus rabbit's statements (here and Twitter), plus WSD putting me on high alert. Sox not announcing starters post-ASB yet isn't helping either. Anybody think there's any credence to the "no serious news announced on the day of the All Star game" theory? Would seem like an odd reason to hold off. I think there is credence to it. Not that I think something is going to happen ASAP.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 02:01 PM) Regardless of who they picked, they knew that Samardzija would get them a compensation draft pick at the end of the first round (under the old rules) Any deadline deal would have to bring back more value than the #26 overall draft pick + additional bonus pool money would. Not disagreeing but it's also possible they were offered something good but KW gonna KW.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 02:00 PM) I believe Sox were over .500 on draft day last year. That's my point. They weren't in rebuild mode yet.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 01:51 PM) It likely was a tough discussion between dealing Samardiza and going for it, knowing that the Sox could gain a late first round draft pick if he left in free agency. Anything they traded two months of Samardzija for would have had to be appreciably better than the value of the #26 overall pick (and larger bonus pool) that they used on Zack Burdi. If they knew they were going to be rebuilding, I think it's certain they wouldn't have picked Burdi.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 01:46 PM) This is upsetting and insightful - hopefully Kenny's no longer in such a stance We are rebuilding now so I don't think there will be any issues with what Hahn wants to do.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 01:45 PM) Perhaps . Unfortunately that's all I can say. That's all I want you to say. I don't want any confirmed names to potentially be pissed off about lol

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 01:38 PM) There is a rental from the past couple seasons who had value. The White Sox had a great offer. KW said no to moving him. He wanted to try and compete. I remember this. Hahn wanted to deal Samardzija and KW wanted to go for it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 01:29 PM) Just throwing this out there, but wonder if Cubs could be in play with the possibility they trade one of their young stars. If they want to sell low on Russell as part of a package....yes please They're dangling Happ supposedly.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 01:09 PM) To this sentiment raBBit replied on Twitter: "Can't be sure. Factors in this whole scenario are looking up for Sox." So when he comes here and says there will be disappointment in a deal, he's mostly referring to the people who think we are going to get an organization's top 2 prospects plus 3 more guys. I never had that expectation but it seems people on here could.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 01:01 PM) To me, it's less about the Sox settling and more he's implying some of the names discussed on here are off the table. Also a good point.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 12:57 PM) That's impossible to objectively qualify. I'm basing my opinion off what rabbit has said.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 12:47 PM) Would something big actually happen on the day of the AS game? He always posts those eyes when there are rumors involving the Sox so I wouldn't look into it too much.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 12:38 PM) So basically they ARE just going to settle for the return they get for Q. It's starting to sound that way.
