I guess everyone needs to be correct 100% of the time. lol nope. It's realizing you're wrong but continue arguing anyway just to not look stupid lol

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 08:34 AM) What does the Nova signing have to do with their chances of getting Q? You guys think Glasnow might be part of a package since they don't need him anymore? Going for it mode. Their rotation looks a lot better with both Nova and Quintana than just one or the other. Or neither. Especially if Nova pitches like he did last year for them.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 08:25 AM) Exactly. Their rotation would be very good along with their lineup. Quintana, Cole, Nova, Taillon, and Kuhl/Hutchison/Williams is a formidable 5. Maybe signing of Nova is a sign that they will be going for it with McCuthen's last 2 seasons with them. Quintana and Jennings for Meadows, Glasnow, Escobar, and Diaz Sign me up.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 08:21 AM) No Glasgow as centerpiece please. Appears to be in decline and Sox need position players. He is at the point in his career where he should be ready to step into a rotation....but he isn't. He's 22 lol

QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 08:17 AM) Pirates have signed Ivan Nova. Either they are preparing to trade Glasnow or they are out on Quintana. Man, if he can pitch like he did for them over those final 2 months AND traded for Q: Cole, Quintana, Nova, Taillon 1-4.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 06:45 PM) Heyman on MLBN: Q to Pittsburgh Longshot Q to Yankees not serious Thinks he winds up in Houston I think Houston plays the wait and see game for the first half of the year before deciding to add an arm.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 06:29 PM) A full rebuild does not happen in a few weeks. It takes two or more sides to agree on a trade. This is a full rebuild, be patient Yeah it can be a couple of years before these current players are gone.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 06:14 PM) The conversation would not lead anywhere if their best two prospects are not on the table Sox held out and got a haul for Easton and sale. I expect the same for q I've been saying for two days that the Yankees have called every team about pitching lol

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 04:46 PM) That totally is a measure of the marketplace versus what the Sox are looking for. If they were getting big offers, there would be about 10 guys would be gone. And if Turner and Jansen didn't re-sign with the Dodgers, Robertson and Frazier could be gone.

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 04:25 PM) Have the Rockies ever been actually linked to Quintana? Just a report saying they were looking for pitching. Q makes sense for everyone. That's about it.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 03:16 PM) Hansen's value is way down since then. He has regressed and is a mid tier prospect, at best, right now I think their names have only come up as final 4th pieces though.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 03:09 PM) Exactly. Which is kind of scary. Not too scary. Were they drafted out of high school? We are only talking 3 seasons ago really.

Random question, but how come some names at the bottom where it says how many users are viewing and how many are members are in red or yellow? Is it like admin status and non-admin? What does yellow mean? lol

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 02:57 PM) Profar has not been impressive to anyone since 2012 His days as being seen as a top prospect are long gone Yeah I know I was just spit-balling. There's no room for him to get at bats in Texas and he would probably be cheaper than Dozier coming off a 40+ bomb season. I'd prefer Profar over Micah Johnson. Edit: s***, maybe if they fill the hole at second without giving up anyone too important, maybe they can jump back into the pitching market.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 02:52 PM) Holy s***, there are 140+ users reading this thread. QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 02:55 PM) Sox fans are just waiting for the proverbial hammer to fall on Quintana We are in the fortunate position of having leverage in trade talks. The market is the perfect storm for us to land a boatload of prospects. Any offer we get we will just say "Ok, thanks..." and then immediately call other teams and say "Guess what team X is offering me, can you beat that?" All these people checking and nothing may even happen until July haha I'm hoping if something happens, its before the holidays.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 01:57 PM) The #Rangers are another club that's inquired on #WhiteSox Jose Quintana. But Texas is probably not serious suitor unless price drops. https://twitter.com/jcrasnick/status/811660260574380032 The teams discussed Quintana at trade deadline. Heard #WhiteSox wanted Profar and a "lot more.'' The ask was too steep for #Rangers tastes. https://twitter.com/jcrasnick/status/811660399171014656 I think Dodgers would be a good fit for Profar as they are looking to fill the hole at second base.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 02:38 PM) Shift Marte to CF and Conforto to LF? This is the current plan as everything stands now for the Pirates so this^

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 02:20 PM) Vicente: What kind of prospects Pirates have to offer to get Quintana? Dave Cameron: Would imagine Chicago would want some kind of package built around two of Meadows, Bell, or Glasnow, with some other stuff involved. I'm drooling if this were the case. Of the 3 there, which 2 would you choose? What other pieces would be included with those other 2? Meadows and Glasnow (can never have too many arms).

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 02:00 PM) If bucket appears you can bet it is getting close as well. We seriously need bucket or rabbit to drop us a nugget as they could know more than national reporters.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 02:11 PM) I seriously do not get the Profar love. He is only under team control for three more seasons, and has been a replacement level player so far in his mlb career. Hard pass It's such bulls*** that he missed 2 full seasons and accrued 2 full seasons service time. Too bad they couldn't minor league dl him like the Angels did all year with Skaggs this past season.

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 01:55 PM) Anyone know if this trade is anywhere close to being completed? Perhaps today? Or is this impossible to know/infer. Impossible to know unless whitesoxdave or rabbit can fill us in.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 01:08 PM) True or false: he who signs Encarnacion, trades for Q True, Rockies is my answer. But I have no idea lol

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 12:44 PM) Craig should be viewed as a 1b/dh prospect as he has well below average speed and fielding ability. He has a good plate approach, draws walks and should hit for some power, but his defensive limitations hurt his value He could be a third or fourth piece.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 12:35 PM) Surprised no mention of Will Craig as part of a package. Though I suppose he is tough to assign value to at this point, being a 2016 1st rounder with little pro experience. Everytime I see his name, I think of Craig Wilson for whatever reason lol
