QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Feb 6, 2017 -> 10:24 AM) Rosenthal is now saying romo to dodgers pending physical. Hope that puts pressure in nationals now YES!!!!!!! HELL YES!!!!!!

Go... .274/.353/.402 with 7 HR's, 23 SB's, and 2.1 WAR

Is it safe to say that Q is on the team until the deadline if he isn't traded before pitchers and catchers report?

Robertson + $10 million for Juan Soto and Pedro Severino. That's the deal I wanted then and the deal I want now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 5, 2017 -> 10:10 PM) Felt for a while now he was the replacement for Q if a move is made. It's fine though, don't mind Q staying based on some of these mediocre trade proposals. I don't think there's any correlation between the two moves at all. The Sox can easily sign a one year stopgap not named Hammel to round out the pitching staff for 2017 if Q is traded.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 5, 2017 -> 10:04 PM) Makes me think Q stays lol wut

This is way off topic but does anyone think the Sox should give Byung-Ho Park a shot? He was just DFAed by the Twins.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 3, 2017 -> 12:18 PM) Draft pick can't be traded until the season starts. The MLBTR author of that article you posted pointed it out in the comments. I know. It can be traded later on as a continuation of the deal. There's no reason why the Sox couldn't get the pick in the trade.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 3, 2017 -> 12:15 PM) I think I would take Martes (#1), Tucker (#2), Fisher (#5), Stubbs (#30). Is this too light, too much, or close? Replace Stubbs with Laureano or Reed and the draft pick and I'd do it.

The Astros have to man up and do this. Lunhow is only hurting himself by not pulling the trigger. The Astros rotation simply isn't good enough right now to be a serious World Series contender.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Feb 3, 2017 -> 10:41 AM) Perhaps just in time when they report to their fancy new spring-training digs in two weeks. #Astros. https://t.co/oMfTwx2pkb https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/827554091513606144 Replying to his tweet last night about astros adding another starter from the hacking fallout I think Bobby Boy knows something we don't...

QUOTE (striker @ Feb 3, 2017 -> 09:24 AM) If the Rays turned down Martes, Tucker, Paulino, +2 prospects for Archer, then that would be my starting point for Quintana, except I don't want Paulino. I listened to the TalkingStros podcast with Jim Callis. Callis called Quintana underated one moment, then called him a solid #3 another. And his job is to evaluate players for a living. The host suggested Fisher, Paulino, Moran and the #75 pick. Q would out perform that. This might be the worst Q proposal I've seen so far.

Prediction - Jose Guillermo Quintana is traded for Kyle Tucker, Francis Martes, Ramon Laureano, and the 75th pick on February 10th at EXACTLY 3:24 PM.

I would buy a Beer #69 jersey in an instant.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 2, 2017 -> 11:34 PM) One thing I have wondered last few days is if Hammel hasn't signed yet because he has an agreement with the Sox that will be announced after Q trade This is a very interesting point. It's definitely possible.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Feb 2, 2017 -> 12:28 PM) You keep saying this but every time the NBA tries to make this happen, stars still leave. You ignore that there are advantages beyond money for these guys. Endorsements, exposure, weather, income taxes, playing style, championships, etc. all play a factor. I think it will affect some guys. It's not going to kill FA signings or trades. Exactly. Not every star is DeMarcus Cousins who is willing to stay in the NBA hellhole known as Sacramento based solely on money. There are various other aspects that impact these decisions and free agency/trades won't change.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 2, 2017 -> 12:19 PM) I am not sure signing a then 33 year old PG who couldn't make an NBA Finals in all the chances with the Clippers is going to make us a contender. Also, you just said CP3/Butler/Hayward wouldn't beat the Warriors or Cavs, but it would make us a contender? You aren't a contender unless you can win a title. That team isn't winning a damn thing. If that's the case, then there are only 3-4 true contenders max in the NBA at any given time and I don't see how trading Butler and accumulating picks would get the Bulls any closer to that elite group.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 2, 2017 -> 12:16 PM) With those kind of peripherals, he'd probably have an ERA of about half that. I modeled his projections after Sale's 2013 season.

Let's keep this going... I'm expecting a breakout year from him. 12-9, 3.07 ERA, 224 K's, 1.07 WHIP, 10.4 K/9, and 5.2 WAR

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 2, 2017 -> 12:10 PM) We've now met our quota for the day. It has to be said at least once a week.

If I was the GM, the first things I'd do is tell Wade to GTFO, sign Gordon Hayward, and then have Butler recruit CP3. I'd also bring in some quality bench players and let Valentine/Zipser/McDermott have bigger roles on the team to see what they can do. CP3/Butler/Hayward wouldn't be the Warriors or Cavs, but those 3 plus a decent bench would make the Bulls a contender IMO.

I have a feeling that something will happen soon.

I actually think the Rays and A's will be better than the Sox this year if they trade Q.
