Rockies in on Santana.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 11, 2017 -> 01:58 PM) That's an excellent Clint Frazier match. Yeah especially since they may move McCutchen. Frazier, Marte, Polanco in the OF then.

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Dec 11, 2017 -> 01:56 PM) Would Abreu plus Avi G be enough to get Benintendi . Chavis,. and another prospect from BoSox? I don't think so, but thought I would ask for other opinions. I don't think they want to trade Benintendi.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 11, 2017 -> 01:42 PM) Jon Heyman‏Verified account @JonHeyman 41m41 minutes ago Yankees are interested in gerrit cole, who they once drafted. But initial impression is pirates arent trading him. Ha yeah right. He sure as hell won't be extended.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 11, 2017 -> 12:41 PM) The fact that we have zero members of the 2017 opening day bullpen on the 40 man roster today is mind blowing. Nate Jones?

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 11, 2017 -> 12:48 PM) Why can't we take on JBJ and try to flip him later? If our scouts believe he's closer to the hitter he was in 2015/2016 (wRC+ of 120ish) than last year (wRC+ of 90), then he's seems like an incredible buy low type guy. I would most definitely need a secondary piece that offers some long-term potential like Chavis, but a deal like this could make a ton of sense for us. Again, got to trust your scounts on this one. You really want a "buy-low type guy" to be the first piece in an Abreu deal?

QUOTE (oneofthemikes @ Dec 11, 2017 -> 12:18 PM) Oops, my bad. For whatever reason, I had it in my head that Sale was Monday noon-ish and Eaton was late afternoon Tuesday. All good.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Dec 11, 2017 -> 10:36 AM) Yes. It was around noon when my phone blew up. QUOTE (cjgalloway @ Dec 11, 2017 -> 10:39 AM) Yeah it was around noon when I became completely un-productive at work. Yeah it was in the afternoon (also did nothing post-deal). Was not day one though.

QUOTE (oneofthemikes @ Dec 11, 2017 -> 10:32 AM) Pretty sure the Sale deal happened at like lunch time on Monday last year. I was just saying it usually seems that way around the meetings overall. That would be an outlier for sure. Edit: Sale trade was actually the second day on the 6th (that Tuesday).

The first day of the Winter Meetings always seems boring. First night through the third night always seems active. Day 4 is just the Rule 5 Draft for the most part.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 11, 2017 -> 09:27 AM) There is no way the Sox could get Bronson for Fulmer. 2 or 3 meaningless starts ago, Carson Fulmer was the biggest bust of the Hahn era. Now he can be used to acquire top 30 prospects? Apparently haha I don't see the fit either.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Dec 11, 2017 -> 07:04 AM) Same can be said for Moncada. Having said that I would rather have Moncada than Frazier. Can say that about every prospect really. And ones with a small cup of coffee.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 10, 2017 -> 03:03 PM) So which one is it? 2 year with an option.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 10, 2017 -> 02:36 PM) Angels sign Rymer Liriano to a minor league deal. Big week in Anaheim. Whoa, slow down Angels.

QUOTE (Sockin @ Dec 10, 2017 -> 02:26 PM) Much more likely to listen to Heyman than Nightengale. I don't understand why anyone pays attention to what he says. To be fair, they're not really saying different things in those tweets if that is what you're suggesting.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 10, 2017 -> 10:14 AM) From a Phil Rogers Winter Meetings preview: https://amp.mlb.com/263178696-al-powers-pon...impression=true Can't see the Red Sox dealing Benintendi.

Being 23, they could always send him to AAA and deal Frazier mid-season when more starters could be available or have him replace Gardner in 19 in the corner outfield/DH rotation.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 9, 2017 -> 08:22 PM) I know, why on Earth would Jon Lester accept a deal from a team that had averaged 92.5 losses the previous 2 years. Could think of 170 million reasons.

Torres is gonna be in the minors what, 2 weeks?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 9, 2017 -> 07:14 PM) You lost me with the bolded In the sense that you wouldn't do a pitching prospect straight up for Frazier as those 1 for 1 type of deals don't seem to happen.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 9, 2017 -> 04:42 PM) I really don’t see a match here. Come July I want Delmonico & Jimenez in LF & RF on a daily basis. Plus we don’t have a major league ready arm that’s really expendable. I don't think anyone was suggesting we should trade for him. I agree that there isn't a fit.

I assume Gardner will get dealt somewhere too. Hicks in CF, Stanton and Kudge in corners and Ellsbury DH.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 9, 2017 -> 04:09 PM) Before we worry about Yankees dominating next ten years take a look at their rotation and bullpen, extend it to 2020 and tell me you think it will be dominating. The yanks farm is good but any star pitchers that would come from it may be kinda random baseball luck. They will need to do a lot of supplementing if pitching soon through FA or trades...and take of cubs should show how quickly the farm can empty out. Baseball will be okay. I assume Frazier will get dealt for a long-term arm. I guess we'll see if any of their arms in the minors stick.

QUOTE (Tony @ Dec 9, 2017 -> 03:47 PM) And your argument would be wrong. You somehow never mentioned money, which of course is what this is all about. Stanton wasn’t “about” to get expensive like what usually happens in Miami, he already held the worst contract in baseball, and new ownership wanted to hit the reset button. I don’t argue the return was terrible and if Miami could have tried to control the media narrative from the start, things may have been different for the Marlins. But once word was out that the Marlins were set on trading him, their leverage was GONE. Especially since the options were limited due to contract and no-trade clause. Literally only 4 teams.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 9, 2017 -> 03:08 PM) Harper’s going to want to play somewhere that he’s clearly THE guy...just not seeing the fit there now in NYC. Would almost be like Durant to the Warriors if the Yankees win it all next year. IMO, Yankees would be better off saving remaining gunpowder for starting pitching. Yeah and they have expendable guys like Clint Frazier to get it.
