QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Nov 29, 2016 -> 11:55 AM) They have zero chance of passing the cubs, Pirates or Cardinals any time soon and with the cubs success, although they get the 9 sell outs when they play the world series champs this year. Sadly, more than we'll have all season

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 29, 2016 -> 08:30 AM) No wonder they're non-tendering Carter. Good opportunity for playing time. No good team was going to sign him.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 29, 2016 -> 06:29 AM) Still won't get Benitendi and Moncada together as a package even by including Frazier. The Red Sox still have plenty of options for 3B and DH that are less costly...both internally and in free agency. We should pick the one with the highest ceiling and then build rest of the package around him. Probably Moncada. I'm hoping for a Benintendi and Devers package or a Bregman package.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 28, 2016 -> 03:56 PM) Yes, but why would any of that hold up a Sale trade? I can see holding off on a guy if there is a question about luxury tax, but he is making Bartolo Colon money. The other stuff, the GMs aren't negotiating, and why it would affect a Sale trade is beyond me. I just think the grand slam offer hasn't been made yet. I don't think the CBA status has anything to o with it. And based on what rabbit said, he agrees.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 28, 2016 -> 10:34 AM) My gut thinks yes, but the CBA hanging over the winter meetings could really screw things up. It expires in a few days so it should be agreed upon by Wednesday.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 27, 2016 -> 11:39 AM) I could see something like Sale and Frazier for McCarthy, Puig, Urias, Bellinger, Verdugo, Calhoun/Lux, and Alvarez. That still leaves Kershaw, Sale, Maeda, Kazmir, Wood, Stirpling, De Leon, Stewart, and Ryu for depth for the Dodgers. Yeah and some of those guys even come off books in next couple of years.

QUOTE (Ro Da Don @ Nov 26, 2016 -> 11:31 PM) Which players are you okay with cutting and getting no value on? You have to remember if guys are taken in rule 5 draft, they would have to stick on the drafting team's MLB roster ALL season. Not sure we have guys towards the end of the 40-man who would get drafted and stick even through spring training. They would be offered back to us.

Dbacks make a decent trade? What is up with the world.

Why do some people who want Bregman want to play him at third? He'd be far more valuable at a middle infield position. He just played more 3B than second the last year and a half because of Correa and Altuve.

Bregman would play 2B if the Sox trade for him.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Nov 23, 2016 -> 02:58 PM) If Bregman is on the table, you make that deal. Him and Anderson on the left side of the infield for the next 5 years sounds juicy. Astros make the most sense, they are so damn close to being the top team in the AL. They need that front of the rotation arm though. Anderson and Bregman up the middle. And it would be 6 years. Even better.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 23, 2016 -> 12:34 PM) Why exactly would we care if Sale is traded to an AL team? Exactly. He would be on the Astros for 3 years. Do people think we will be a good team during that time?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 23, 2016 -> 12:26 PM) Between the two teams, I would much rather see Sale traded to the National League. I don't care as long as they get the best package. By the timewe are good again, he will be getting paid as a Dodger.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 23, 2016 -> 12:25 PM) Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 9m9 minutes ago Anthony Ranaudo's departure to Japan leaves the #WhiteSox 40-man roster at 39. Too bad that couldn't happen when we needed to add guys to the 40. Oh well I don't think of them will even be drafted.

I hope you are a credible source lol

Who knows. Maybe Sale goes to the Astros and Dodgers get desperate for Q.

QUOTE (Carpe Diem @ Nov 23, 2016 -> 11:51 AM) In regards for the Sale derby. Red Sox actually appear to be telling the truth when they say they won't pony up the price it would take to get Sale. Apparently Bregman and Springer are being dangled (not together) but the team still would ideally prefer trading him to the NL. Take this with a grain of salt if you want, but my source has been right about everything he has said so far dating back to 2014. Bregman please.

f*** that. Eat the rest of the deal. You need someone to throw innings the next couple of years. If anything, try to attach him to someone with already lower value like Frazier, Melky, Robertson etc.

I don't think this strategy would work during the regular season compared to the playoffs.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 23, 2016 -> 07:11 AM) I think they should trade Sale, Jones, Frazier, and Melky at a minimum. Maybe Abreu and Q too if they get a good offer. I think it'll be Sale, Frazier, Melky, and Jennings. Maybe Robertson but they might just see if he can dominate the first couple months before trading him. Edit: I keep forgetting about Gonzalez. If a team needs a back end starter hes there.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Nov 23, 2016 -> 12:35 AM) They will probably hold onto our long term core in case we hit big on the Sale trade. Then move most of the remaining players in 2-3 years if it is a bust. The short term contracts will probably be gone this offseason like you mentioned. Exactly. They don't need to trade all right now.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 22, 2016 -> 07:06 PM) Do you have a point or what? haha I get what you were trying to say and you didn't mean that it is ok. You don't really need to explain anymore because people can't/won't understand. This story is straight out of every exaggerated college fraternity movie/show.

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Nov 22, 2016 -> 06:35 PM) Now that Castro has signed with the Twins, I can't help but wonder who the White Sox are going to have as their catcher in 2017. Are they going to bring back Avila? Are they interested in Wieters? Either 1) they sign a right-handed hitting back up to pair with Narvaez and act as a mentor (Ryan Hanigan?), 2) bring back Avila, and 3) probably very unlikely, they sign Ramos to an inflated one year deal to attempt to flip or get a draft pick for next offseason.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 22, 2016 -> 06:04 PM) Not a guess, he's got information on the club's plans. So we should expect Sale to get traded for the best package (even if it's less than what the front office and us fans originally wanted). Does he happen to know for sure which teams are having serious discussions with the Sox (I'm not talking about the ones we know in the media but maybe someone who hasn't been reported on)?

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Nov 22, 2016 -> 05:52 PM) Buster Olney doesn't believe there will be an 2017 season interruption Great. And neither do I.
