QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 07:54 AM) Are we at the point where we read too much into a whitesoxdave tweet? Maybe he's just expecting something to get done today due to the fact there's been a lot of smoke and its the day before the holidays.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 06:13 AM) If nothing happens today I agree. I wouldnt think the GMs would want to bother each other until after the fact either. Yeah if nothing happens today, I can't see talks happening again until Monday.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 05:24 AM) Jose Ramirez seems to be settling into that role. For a year or two, everyone was fixed on Chisenhall being the man, but they finally gave up and moved him to RF. Oh yeah I forgot about Ramirez. And they should give up on Chisenhall in RF.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 04:21 AM) I still don't get this logic. How is Frazier comparable? Because he hit some dingers? Abreu's market makes much, much more sense. Teams looking at Frazier view him as a 3B. How many teams that were in on Encarnacion, Trumbo, Bautista, hell even Carter, view those guys as 3B? If the Sox were to actually sell Frazier as a 1B, then, even knowing what he did with Sale and Eaton at the Winter Meetings, Hahn should be fired tomorrow, because Frazier is about a 1 WAR player at 1B and the value would be reflected upon that. He's probably about a 2.5-3 WAR player at 3B who had some bad luck with BABIP and good luck with power who can get a top 150 prospect or 2 guys who has 45-50 FV who are a ways away. I don't think Frazier is going anywhere until at least June. I could only really think of the Giants as a team that could use him if they want to move Nunez into a Baez type role. Maybe the Indians. Edit: if we let him go after the season and offer a QO and a team over the luxury tac threshold signs him, don't we get two draft picks?

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 10:22 PM) It's possible that they're not allowed to tweet anything relevant because of how deep the Sox are in these discussions. QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 10:22 PM) I get what you mean although I'm feeling more suspicious. Calm before the storm. Feels like there's alot of pressure building around a Q trade and it's about to burst. Edit: it's like Merkin and Nightengale are purposely staying quiet for a reason. Could be. Time will tell.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 10:16 PM) Good grief has Merkin been eerily quiet. Same with Nightengale now that I think about it. Makes me skeptical.

QUOTE (Mattchoo @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 10:00 PM) I don't get why Pitt would want to trade Glasnow. He seems like on the verge and could be 1 or 2 starter talent. Because of the bolded. Q IS a 1 or 2.

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 08:36 PM) He turned down 4/$80m from the Jays. Him and Bautista both screwed themselves. He can still get that with the Indians if his optio gets picked up (probably won't though). This deal is a bargain for the Indians.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 07:55 PM) The Astros are missing that final piece IMO Still don't believe they deal Bregman and without him, I'm not big on their prospect depth. Sticking with my prediction that Astros go with internal options and add around June/July if they have to.

Indians sign Encarnacion. 3 years and an option.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 05:35 PM) Anyone else feel like they keep teasing us with Quintana rumors early in the day and then left hanging till the next day lol Yeah and it's really annoying lol

I'm gonna predict tomorrow afternoon is when something happens. I base this off nothing.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 04:15 PM) Speaking of which, I'd rather give Liriano a look in CF next year than Tilson. He's the type of guy you give 600 ABs to in a lost season and hope you strike gold. If not, at least he's contributing towards a top pick. As of now, there's room for both in the OF.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 03:46 PM) Unfortunately the Padres are trying to throw out a starting rotation inspired by the expendables Lmfao legit laughed out loud on my train at this comment.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 03:40 PM) Us millennials have changed the definition. Sorry about that, bud f***ing millenials (coming from a millenial).

Guys I don't quite see us as the worst team (yet). We should also probably pump our brakes on a guy who won't be drafted for two years.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 02:56 PM) Reading the rest of this article and realizing this is total speculation by Gregor. Yeah nothing to it at all.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 02:55 PM) I'd do Q for Meadows, Glasnow, and Bell. Sign me up. I'll take Meadows, Glasnow, and Newman.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 02:52 PM) Did you stop and eat at SoDoSoPa? At Kenny's house.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 02:19 PM) Conforto is much cheaper and under control for longer than Cutch And in this scenario, they also have Quintana.

QUOTE (Buehrlesque @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 02:07 PM) Other than the fun of idle speculation, I don't see why the complication of a three-way trade is really relevant here. The Pirates have three good to great starting major league OFs, one signed through 2018, one through 2021 and the third through 2023. They can absolutely afford to part with a prospect like Meadows to acquire a starting pitcher of the caliber of Quintana. The match up for a trade makes perfect sense. I think it would also kind of hinge on if the Mets could move Granderson or Bruce. They have a logjam in the OF currently and a three team deal where they move Conforto but acquire McCutchen doesn't help that. It would only give them a "CF" (quotes because personally I don't think he is one anymore but apparently, the Mets do lol).

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 01:26 PM) The Pirates are a lot like the White Sox in that they shop at Marshall's not Saks 5th Ave. And when they are mentioned for a big name, like the Sox and big name free agents, at best, they come in second. So until they actually get a Q or someone else, it seems the people who know them best will believe it when they see it, and don't really think it will happen. I've seen a lot of comments like this too from Pirates fans. Like they want them to get Q at all costs but are very skeptical the organization will actually do it. If there was ever a guy to put all your chips on, it would be someone as durable and consistent and cheap as Q.

QUOTE (peppers312 @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 01:25 PM) i too like to read other city's sports sections and the comments. seems like all the PIT fans don't think much of Quintana and do NOT want Meadows as a part of any trade from what i've been reading. I've seen the opposite.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 01:21 PM) Looks like Pirates sports writer's and the fan base really want Huntington to make a Q trade happen. http://www.post-gazette.com/sports/zeise-i...es/201612220170 Everything I've read out of Pittsburgh has been about wanting them to finally make a move like this.

QUOTE (Real @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 12:39 PM) why are the Sox compromising in any Quintana deal, makes no sense. deal him at the deadline if you're not even getting what you want for him. glasnow as a centerpiece? we need position players so badly. How are the Sox compromising? They haven't announced an official trade yet. We don't even really know what the offers they are receiving look like.
