QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 04:08 PM) Holt is being added There it is.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 04:00 PM) Don't they have to cause DH? QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 04:02 PM) No idea...just thought I'd add it on here If they have to make a roster move, they probably have to make room on the 40-man to add someone as the 26th man. People here speculated it could be Devers. Is he on 40?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 01:27 PM) Nightengale saying only "fringe" prospects coming back in potential Frazier deal, and that we'd eat cash too. Figured as much but damn those tweets last few days got me excited.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 12:33 PM) Right but they've been balking at the Sox price for like 8 months now, while blowing like a game a week. Clearly they didn't want to give up serious prospects for a closer, and they just got two of the Proven Closer™ brand. I'd be absolutely shocked if they ponied up now. I don't see them "ponying up" per se. I doubt Robles, Fedde, and Soto are going anywhere. I think anyone else could be on table.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 12:24 PM) What are you guys talking about? Both of those guys have tons of closing experience and are having good seasons. Because adding 3 good relievers would be better than adding just 2. Especially when you bought the first 2 so cheap.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 12:20 PM) Fantastic trade for the Nats. Surprised Oakland couldn't do better. Thats why some of us on here wouldn't be shocked to see Schwarber as the center piece in a Gray deal lol

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 12:19 PM) I actually think the opposite. If I just managed to get those two guys for that, I'd be on the phone with Hahn right now getting Robertson for one of my 3-5 prospects. I agree. I could see Kieboom plus a couple others being on the table.

Have Madson through next year and Doolittle through 20. Good trade.

Could see why they would do that deal. Now, do they still go out and add one more?

QUOTE (ecupittfan @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 12:09 PM) And Bumgarner is back today. That will help SF get a few more wins, if he stays off his motorcycles. Thats why I kinda want Padres to take at least 2/3 this weekend. Bumgarner back should help Giants win some games next 2 months.

Yeah idk if you'll end up flipping him. Rather do a deal eith full intention of cutting him. As long as brings good prospects in.

QUOTE (whtsoxfan @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 11:17 AM) Red Sox Closing in on Deal for Todd Frazier http://www.12up.com/posts/5269933-report-r...ier?a_aid=36534 Nice summary of everything said yesterday.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 10:31 AM) You know Boston is only team that has/will express interest and you want to create an opening for Moncada People keep saying this but do they mean Sanchez moves to 3B? I think Delmonico or Hayes comes up first.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 02:26 PM) It's pronounced "A-loy", according to Garfein Makes sense based on where he is from.

Better to have this happen now than if he were in the MLB eating away service time

Really wish they weren't committed to going for it at the time of the draft in 2016.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 12:05 PM) Saladino and Gonzalez have been activated. Guess they don't care about an extra bullpen arm this weekend. Like it matters. Think they have a normal 7 guys with one being a long-reliever. Although with this current rotation, they could probably use 2 long-relievers haha Edit: we kinda do with Holmberg and Beck both being in the pen.

QUOTE (joejoedairy @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 03:43 PM) Roberto Alomar and Omar Vizquel too You forgot Sandy who had like 3 different stints with the Sox. Edit: Kenny Lofton was also forgotten.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 02:45 PM) I think the BoSox wind up with Frazier. They don't want Prado's contract next year and the year after. They've been linked to him though.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 01:57 PM) Contracts are straight-lined for luxury tax purposes, so their actual payroll should always be higher than luxury tax figure. Yeah this is how I remember it. One example of when a team's luxury tax figure being higher than a team's payroll is that Scherzer contract. He's receiving his payout over 14 years while for luxury tax purposes, it is over the 7 they have him.

I still rate it very close to a 10. It is hard to judge it as of right now only about 7 months in. But so far they've done a great job of stockpiling some front-end talent. And with only 3 trades!

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 12:35 PM) If Washington is willing, it would be cool to see us go all out with this trade and package our top 3 for a haul. Robertson/Kahnle/Swarzak for Soto/Kieboom/Ward/Marmolejos/Garcia/throw-in Would be awesome to see that happen. Nats get to keep their top 2 prospects and also increase their chances of winning this year or next. I'm big on Soto and Kieboom. Edit: actually, don't like those other names. Make Ward or Marmolejos the throw-in piece and add Luzardo.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 11:45 AM) So my question is, who fills in for the 25th man? fact, the white sox website only shows 23 players on the active roster. Who fills in for Quintana and Willy Garcia? Already announced. Gonzalez and Saladino.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 12:53 PM) Their top prospect Rafael Devers is a 3B, and was just promoted to AAA 2 hours ago. I 100% expect him to get called up this year. Just look at Moncada last year for them.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 02:28 AM) Not enough for gift wrapping the Cubs another World Series. Would have liked to see another top prospect rather than 3 fillers. Quality over quantity. Disappointed with the return. Would have rather kept Q until we saw what we have with the newest additions at the big league level before accepting this kind of return. I'm much more disappointed with this one than the returns for Sale or Eaton. Was thrilled with the Eaton return and mildly disappointed we couldn't pull Devers for Sale but thought his deal was just ok. Especially if you are giving him to the Cubs you've got to get a better deal than this. A #2 prospect in an organization and who is on top 100 lists is a filler?
