QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 03:38 PM) Take it easy. I dont think this is imminent. LOL Lol I was going to say the same thing. It means it could happen now or before Spring Training. Or not at all even.

See this is the time of day where these rumors and possible deals need to gain steam. Right at the tail end of the work day(/week). The Eaton deal worked out perfect for me. The Sale deal , which happened before noon ruined my productivity lol

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 03:35 PM) Dan Hayes @CSNHayes now Heard one reason #WhiteSox didn't yet add Geovany Soto to 40-man was to leave space for a possible trade. Makes sense w/ Quintana rumor. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm And trading Q would take a guy off the 40 as well.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 03:31 PM) Yeah, I don't get it. If Merk guesses no Tucker, I'd have to assume Bregman or Springer is in the deal. Maybe even Frazier going to Houston too. Man I would be disappointed if Springer was the headliner in a deal. He's a good player but not the kind this team needs right now.

Tucker available for Archer (supposedly) but not Q?

QUOTE (pablo @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 03:15 PM) I am a fan of WSD but that doesn't make much sense. Five top 10 prospects when Sale only got 3? Granted, Moncada was probably worth 2 top prospects by himself. Did he have sources or was he just throwing that out there? Throwing it out there but I'm sure someone on here will assume he has sources on it ha

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 03:12 PM) WSD predicts Martes, Tucker, Fisher, Stubbs, and Laureano if Houston trade were to get done. MAKE THEM PAY MORE! His prediction mean about as much as our predictions. Not trying to say he doesn't have sources because I don't doubt him, just that it has nothing to do with predictions.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 02:49 PM) Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 35s36 seconds ago José Quintana trade talks continue, sources say, with #Astros among the most serious suitors. @MLB @MLBNetwork Wake me up when we get the "White Sox close to Quintana trade" tweet. We've heard enough of the talking.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 02:10 PM) D'oh, sorry. I wonder if we carry 5 outfielders We could. Especially if the DH spot is open.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 02:14 PM) We could technically see Avi Garcia in RF, Willy Garcia in LF, and Leury Garcia in CF at some point. And it would be the saddest OF in White Sox history. I want that to happen with Gio soto throwing to Geo Soto!

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 01:48 PM) If Frazier is traded, I think Brett Lawrie will be the 3B With Sanchez or Saladino at second?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 01:48 PM) If he is signed to a minor league deal he isn't subject to major league waivers unless he is called up. This^ It wasn't a waiver claim so he can go to the minors (unless he has an opt-out which I didn't see. Not really good enough to warrant one).

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 01:34 PM) 50 AB's was enough for the Sox to say "meh, if we lose him no biggie" meanwhile Avi is our starting RF'er... Agreed. Not that 27 is really old, but that's how old he will be on Opening Day. At best, he could be a platoon guy who hits lefties I feel. W. Garcia is still 24.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 01:23 PM) Where would Delmonico play? I can see Delmonico at 3B and Asche in LF if Frazier is traded, but if he isn't, there's a glut. I should have stated, "could be at 3B or DH at the MLB level." If they deal Frazier, there's actually a spot open for both to start every day (potentially).

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 01:11 PM) To play in AAA? Can't see him at 3B there due to Davidson/Delmonico Davidson or Asche could very well be at third or DH. This is the type of guy you pick up and plug in and see if he can play. Hopefully he or Davidson can get everyday at bats at 3B or LF (Asche).

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 01:12 PM) Wasn't Ashe mentioned by someone here last winter as a potential trade target? Name sounds familiar. I know I either said it here or somewhere else lol can't remember if I said it after he got dfa'd this off-season either.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 12:20 PM) Laughing at the latest Yanks-Q articles and the comments that follow. Yanks fans want the best available pitcher in Q only to turn around and try to point out flaws to devalue Q and all the while talk about which of their prospects are untouchable. Good grief they are more unrealistic than Boston fans. Pirates fans seem most reasonable due to desperation haha when the Sale talks were going on, there was an Astros fan that tweeted at WSD that Bregman is a future HOF. And Sale isn't? (assuming he stays healthy and keeps putting up the numbers he has)

O's and Mariners swap Gallardo and cash for Seth Smith. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/01/mari...#comment-981519

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 09:32 AM) Yes, and Soto has not played above 90 games in some time so definitely not going to expect 120+ games out of him. It works out perfect with fewer lefties than righties then I guess.

QUOTE (peavy44 @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 08:48 AM) You think red sox trade for Quintana 2017 trade deadline? I don't see it unless Sale, Porcello or Price gets hurt. I do think they have the pieces if they wanted to.

QUOTE (peavy44 @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 08:32 AM) Trade Melky to giants Trade Frazier to St louis Cardinals or new York Mets Trade Jose Quintana to the Pirates or Rockies Trade Abreu to Texas Rangers Idk if the Giants would bring Melky back though they certainly seem like a fit. I think they could match up on Frazier however. Nunez can shift to left field or a super utility role seeing playing time everywhere.

I imagine he'll make the team unless he completely sucks in Spring Training. He could probably opt out if he doesn't. I bet they'll bring in a few of these types of catchers on minor league deals.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 5, 2017 -> 11:50 AM) To me it will depend on injury, but reading the STL reports on his defense, he was considered the best OF defender they had. We have 3 plus-defenders with questionable hit tools in engel/may/tilson, maybe one pans out, likely none do. But I like Tilson at least as a consistent major leaguer. Yeah hopefully one can, at the very least, be a good 4th OF or even platoon guy.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 5, 2017 -> 12:33 AM) Joel Sherman made a point on MLB Now - the Yankees are coming up on a lot of players who will need to be protected while protecting the assets the currently have. There are ways of dealing with that given situation that allow you to maximize your long term value, but you lose current value. The Yanks look like a team ready to spend heavily going into 2018. They'd rather keep their current MLB value, so it follows that logic. I don't know much about the Yankees system other than that Torres, Frazier, and like Severino, but I know they have a good system and they have a strong need. Cashman is the longest tenured GM for a reason. (Sabean and Beane are both probably final decision makers, but they are not GMs. Cashman is) Yeah I've said this before and I'll say it again. I doubt Yankees are lookong to deal anyone right now. They can deal pieces in June or July (Tanaka, Holliday, etc) if they are producing and look to add a pitcher or two in free agency next off season. Edit: I'd love to be proven wrong and see them deal 4-5 guys to us lol but just don't see it.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jan 4, 2017 -> 03:59 PM) Current mlb.com rankings. I expect Kopech to rise a bit. Lopez to stay about the same. Moncada will still be top 3. Giolito will drop into teens, most likely. My guess is Collins is closer to 50 than 80. I don't think they've updated that since mid-season.
