QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 12:35 PM) Didnt know I would ruffle feathers probably a wrong choice of words. I read a couple recent articles and rumors on twitter that make it seem as if its heating up again. NOTHING IS IMMINENT. My feathers are definitely ruffled. Shame on you.

QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 12:23 PM) I am slow. Is there a direct link to the Pirates trading Cutch and them trading for Q? There is a ton of rumors out there that they want to trade Cutch again. Seems to be heating up on that front. Where are these "tons of rumors"?

Craig MishVerified account ‏@CraigMish Follow More I am told : Potentially season ending injury for Alex Reyes. Tough tough blown for Cardinals.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 12:10 PM) Theoretically could make Reyes available in a trade too. He is easily the most interesting piece in the Cardinals system. It's risky, but ceilings don't get much higher. Obviously it depends on what the injury is, but if anyone knows how to rehab and subsequently keep pitchers healthy, it's the Sox. Who knows. The MRI results will be very important.

Apparently Reyes could be out for the year, so St. Louis might jump back into the Q sweepstakes after all.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 11:26 AM) Apparently Cardinals RHP Alex Reyes didn't pass his physical for ST and will not report to camp yet. Don't know what is wrong with him. If he is out, possible Q to Cardinals? Also, just creating discussion to think of different packages from a different team finally. I think I'd do Weaver, Bader, Kelly, and Perez for Q Would marijuana impact his physical at all? I know he's had problems with that in the past.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 11:17 AM) Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 1m1 minute ago All-Star left-hander Jose Quintana will talk later this morning, but after today will politely decline to discuss trade rumors. #WhiteSox I feel so bad for the poor guy. He doesn't deserve to have swarms of reporters and rumors nagging at him everyday.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 10:23 AM) Doing guys who will be in the minors all season? Is Alec Hansen next? If you want to me to, sure. I love Hansen and hope he dominates in 2017.

You're the real MVP for this. I picked up 3 nice Sox t-shirts for $10 each.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 11:01 AM) What else would he say? That's basically the situation him and all the veterans are in lol I didn't think he'd comment on it at all. Some guys don't like to talk about off the field distractions to the media.

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 10:52 AM) Succinct https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/831545820851761152 Damn. That quote is pretty telling and I'd be shocked if Robertson was a part of their long term plans.

I'm so excited for this guy. My predictions - 8-4, 2.61 ERA, 178 K's, 1.18 WHIP, 13.7 K/9, in 18 starts (3 with Winston Salem, 11 with Birmingham, 4 with Charlotte) Innings will probably be monitored for him, so he might not go very deep into his starts, but I expect him to post ridiculous K numbers in 2017.

Eddie Gamboa DFAed. Huge news.

Why the f*** can't the Sox take Bastardo if that's the deal-breaker right now?

It's so nice to have a surplus of arms that could potentially be ace-like quality.

Juan Soto is a guy I really want. He's pretty much my age so that means that he should be debuting right around when the Sox are good again. Sign me up.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 13, 2017 -> 11:08 AM) If we ate some money on his deal and they were willing to throw in 2-3 B type prospects, I'd probably do it. The couple mill a year to Robertson won't kill us. But at this point, I think he stays til the deadline (assuming he's not hurt). Who would these prospects be? How much money would the Sox have to eat?

Which Nationals prospect is even worth eating a lot of money for? Robles is the only one I can think of and he probably isn't available. If the Nationals aren't willing to offer anything decent for him, then the Sox should just hold him and wait it out. I think he has a good chance of being a quality closer in 2017 which would increase his value at the deadline.

It depends on what else was offered along with Benintendi, but I think the Sox made the right choice. Moncada's upside is much higher than Benintendi.

We need Charles The Cat to come through with a rumor right about now.

Given their circumstances, Houston should trade Bregman for Q 100% of the time and never look back.

Jeff Todd is insane. He said in the MLB Trade Rumors chat that the Sox would offer Q for Bregman straight up and Houston would say no. Lol ok.

Colombia's roster doesn't look too good at first glance so hopefully they're eliminated quickly.

It would be so White Sox if they agreed to a trade with Houston that was to be completed after the WBC only to have Q blow out his elbow in the tournament.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Feb 9, 2017 -> 06:53 PM) Was there really TWO people here who think Joe Flacco is a hall of farmer????!!! The Joe Flacco who has a career completion percentage and passer rating lower than Jay Cutler? I never said he was a Hall of Farmer. I'd have to see him work with cattle and a tractor before I could make that assertion.
