QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 02:56 PM) I have this awful feeling that holding on to Sale past the deadline is somehow going to bite this organization in the ass. Shhhh don't jinx him.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 02:53 PM) Problem is this front office is going nowhere. Typically when your GM comes out and says the team he put together is "mired in mediocrity" that should be a cue to ownership that a change should be made here. Not gonna happen here though. If we don't rebuild with Hahn & KW, then we'll certainly reload with them. Sucks we don't have the resources to bring in other good relievers and offensive pieces.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 02:27 PM) It was a typo but your point is well taken I wasn't trying to make a point or argue or anything but it just took me back to over a week ago when it seemed like we were going to make a bunch of trades this weekend. Now the feeling seems like we will only make maybe one more.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 02:16 PM) Try being mire of a true Sox fan and less of chronic complainer and look at the brighter side of things I know this is a typo but this just brought me back to over a week ago when our own GM said we are mediocre.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 02:16 PM) Naw, they're all just comparing notes on poop reports. Talking about color, consistency, foreign objects visible, etc. Trying to determine if team diet should change or not. Haha

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 02:05 PM) Wow, and I thought I was good at math! You're right, it's 25 hours away as we speak. Haha it's all good. I wasn't positive that it was tomorrow afternoon so that's why I questioned it.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:48 PM) Mods, feel free to delete if necessary, but we're 25 minutes from first pitch with no gamethread. With the deadline only 14 hours away, figure a lot of people will be watching this one closely. 14 hours away? Thought it was in the afternoon.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 01:29 PM) I'm sorry, what does this mean? I feel like the GM, the senior vp of operations and the manager holding a meeting the day before trade deadline would suggest something is up.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:28 PM) The Cardinals are a premier org for sure Don't coach him or have him change anything until it isn't working lol

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:36 PM) Dodgers looking at Archer today. They obviously want a top shelf pitcher. Work out a deal, please. Sox scouts are apparently at that game. Can't figure out why though. Which game?

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:08 PM) Jay Bruce deal going down? Reported yesterday the Reds aren't looking for top prospects for him.

QUOTE (BamaDoc @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 11:45 AM) You save 7 million and get a guy who can play center and hits lefty. While he has little power, if he is a cardinal he will do everything else the "right" way. Exactly. Don't let anyway change anything about him.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 11:27 AM) I really doubt we'll be trading for a higher caliber replacement Don't think that's what he meant.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 11:18 AM) Yeah I agree, I meant to say that it wasn't enough for him Yeah I figured that's what you meant. I was just saying.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 11:16 AM) Hahn needs to tell Ventura not to pitch Robertson today. I don't think one appearance is going to matter.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 10:59 AM) Frazier, Torres, Sanchez, and one of Severino/Bird for Chris Sale? Lmao Need both Severino and Bird. And Aaron Judge. Edit: and probably Sheffied.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 10:36 AM) Most of the time, these guys with the limited no trade clauses have them in there for financial reasons. They normally have all the big market contenders on their so if they do get traded there they have some leverage in squeezing out more money. This didn't seem the case here. He must really not want any part of Cleveland. I am sure the Tribe could offer him an extension that would make him think summers in Cleveland are the nicest summers . Looks like he used to block a trade unless Cleveland would void his option for next season making him a free agent. Don't know if we're on the list or not, but even if we wanted him, he'd do the same here.

Like living in Milwaukee is so much better lol

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 09:58 AM) Ok, so what does it tell you? I suspect I know, but I'll bite nonetheless... If they trade Robertson soon, thinning the bullpen even more than it is now, I think it means rebuild. Keeping Robertson I think we have potential to retool in the offseason.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 09:28 PM) Vazquez is indeed a wonderful pitch framer but I feel like Soxtalk will hate him for his hitting Can only really carry him with a good offense. I don't really want him due to the current state of the offense.

Feel like this move is pretty telling about what direction they want to go in. Especially if they deal Robertson.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 09:16 AM) There has been some action, but it's like an Ebay auction...the real bids come right at the end. 1-3 pm tomorrow will be great. By the way, MLB is stupid to not make the trade deadline at about 8pm...make a primetime TV show out of it...duh! Yeah I get not wanting to make the deadline this afternoon but I think all teams playing day games today (no Sunday night game) and making the deadline like 8pm today would have been better.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 08:38 AM) Could the Sox theoretically have the best farm system in baseball in 30 hours if they wanted to? If teams ponied up, yes.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 08:13 AM) Torress, Frazier, Severino, Bird, Sanchez, and Judge for Sale. At the very least, drive up Boston's price.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 08:01 AM) I don't use WSDave for analysis often. But yeah, the Yankees just rebuilt their farm system with trading two relievers. Wonder if they just became legit contenders for Sale.
