QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 06:51 PM) Missing OF Caleb Gindl that the Sox signed a couple weeks ago, and I'm pretty sure the Sox resigned Marcus Lemon. Other than that, looks great. Caleb Gindl is on there (was earlier anyway).

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 04:21 PM) The fact that the Pirates have been trying to trade Cutch should tell you Meadows isn't going anywhere. They absolutely love him. The reason they are attractive trade partners is because they can put together a really strong package without him. Glasnow and Bell are top 20 prospects and they have Newman (#42) and Keller (#72) as well. I would absolutely love a deal with Glasnow/Bell as the centerpieces + maybe Keller or some other high upside guys. Sox are not likely getting three top 50 prospects, that would be more than what Sale got. If we can't have Meadows, then I want both Keller and Newman as well as Glasnow. If they're hell bent on keeping Bell, then I would want Hayes and another.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 04:18 PM) Damnit Hi8is Would have worked better as a Rick Roll.

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 03:15 PM) "Our" Luis Alexander Basabe is the much better prospect than his brother. I heard Jim Callis tell a story that when the Diamondbacks traded Ziegler to the Red Sox last year, they accidentally asked for Alejandro when they actually wanted Alexander. Normally I'd say thats unbelievable, but this is Dave Stewart we are talking about... I was only joking really haha but that is a crazy story.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 02:13 PM) It was mentioned on MLBN this morning that Basabe will be in the top 100 when it gets updated for MLB.com Our Luis Basabe correct? Not his twin brother Luis Basabe? haha

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 01:15 PM) I'm not saying they'd necessarily get much of value, probably lottery tickets, but the point is that they don't have negative value - as is being implied when people propose the Sox take them and get extra Yankees prospects. Agreed. Especially not to the point where they would offer better prospects just to get rid of them.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 12:32 PM) Not really. As I said, it doesn't really count as doing them a favour when they could just do it to another team and probably get something back for it rather than give something away. Agreed. I would think the Yankees would rather just trade either/or for something rather than making them have to give up more in a deal with the Sox.

God f***ing dammit.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 12:04 PM) Seems Bruce confirmed report, but his reporting is equally suspect IMO lol he literally just said that Bob Nightengale reported it in his tweet. His reporting is beyond suspect.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 11:55 AM) Rosenthal take a vaca or what? I think so. Said he was going off the grid for a bit.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 11:50 AM) Eh. If they were one year deals, I'd agree. BOth are signed through 2018. Would add $25M to the payroll both this year and next. That is quite a lot to swallow, and would definitely affect the Sox chances of competing in 2018 if a bunch of stuff went right this season with prospect development. I would definitely take one.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 11:28 AM) Jesus Christ, the posturing never stops I know. I'm so glad I'm not a GM. It would be so stressful.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 11:25 AM) The #Yankees and #Pirates currently most aggressive teams in talks with #Whitesox about Quintana, and, yes, even discussed potential 3-way https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/813796600787206149 I love that we got a tweet about the Yankees not even discussing a deal.

I would say I'm ready to quit following this topic until something happens but I'm just way too bored at work. I'm still somewhat new and no one has time to train me lol

Good job, Bruce. You told us everything we already knew.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 10:11 AM) Here goes another day of getting teased early and leaving us hanging until tomorrow lol Tell me about it. I'd rather have these tweets happen around 4pm towards the end of the work day lol

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 09:50 AM) It scares the s*** out of me even if I know it shouldn't This is how I feel. Would hate for him to still be here only for him to suffer a terrible injury during the WBC or in the first months of the season.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 09:47 AM) What is the insurance policy if Q goes to the WBC or into the regular season with the Sox and gets hurt or suffers a labrum/Johan Santana injury? I keep forgetting he is pitching in the WBC.

Random, but who was the prospect the Yankees took for the Robertson loss in the 15 draft?

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 09:29 AM) That is my impression, i.e.dodgers luxury tax salary higher than roster salary as the portion they are paying on players not on their team goes on their books The salary that hits the luxury tax is by an AAV basis, correct? So even though Robertson is due to make $12 mill, his hit on the luxury tax threshold would be 11.5 since he signed a 4 year, $46 million deal?

Would you guys expect it to be an OF prospect (one of Frazier and Rutherford), an IF prospect (one of Mateo and Torres), Sheffield and then another piece or two?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 09:18 AM) If you get money back does that mean that what you get back does not count against the luxury limit? The problem the Yankees have with Robertson is if they go over the threshold, his salary in essence is quite a bit more than they are paying him. Maybe they will look to dump Headley or continue to try to move Gardner?

QUOTE (peavy44 @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 09:09 AM) 3 guys for q and drob thats not enough. That's 4 guys. The "+" is an additional piece.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 09:03 AM) Why would the Yankees want Robertson? They just paid Chapman. I don't buy the report. This is pressure on the other teams. To go with a 3-headed monster at the end of the game like they entered last season with. It's not really that hard to figure out.
