SS2K5 is being overdramatic as usual but he has a point. Getting just Moncada and Rutherford as far as hitting goes for Sale, Q, and Eaton is a bit disappointing.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 10:18 PM) Makes me skeptical. It's possible that they're not allowed to tweet anything relevant because of how deep the Sox are in these discussions.

Let's say Q was traded for Glasnow, Bell, Hayes, and Newman. And then the Sox flipped Glasnow for someone like Brendan Rodgers. That would be great.

I'd definitely take Granderson as part of the return if it helped facilitate the trade.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 09:46 AM) WE NEED BATS! Conforto doesn't cut it for me as the only bat coming back for Q. Dominic Smith is a good hitter.

This thread is gigantic. Maybe it'll even pass the Cespedes one from last year in terms of size.

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 09:28 AM) Again, that's more than they got for Sale. How do you figure? Moncada > Meadows and Kopech > Glasnow. Hayes and Keller are better than Basabe and Diaz but I think it's fair.

A Meadows/Glasnow/Hayes/Diaz package would be ok, IMO. I'd like Keller too if possible.

You guys think it's going to happen today? Rosenthal tweeting something about it makes me think it's close to a done deal.

What does the Nova signing have to do with their chances of getting Q? You guys think Glasnow might be part of a package since they don't need him anymore?

QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 02:36 PM) I could see something more along the lines of: Mets get - McCutchen, Jones Pirates get - Q, Conforto Sox get - Meadows, Bell, Newman, Gsellman, Dunn/Plawecki I'd do this if the Sox could get Hayes and Brandon Nimmo as well.

I'm so on board with this. Mets get - McCutchen, Robertson Pirates get - Q, Dominic Smith, Nate Jones Sox get - Conforto, Meadows, Bell, Newman, Dunn That would be fair for everyone IMO.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 09:41 AM) Yah, who wants a dude that got on base 39% of the time last year? He has very little power and you can't possibly expect his OBP numbers to stay at that level as he ascends through the minors.

Newman's minor league stats aren't all that inspiring. Is there something good about him I don't know?

Meadows and Bell would be absolutely amazing, but I'm not counting on it. Anyone think Pittsburgh could be interested in Abreu as well? He's not that expensive, controlled for a couple years, and could replace Bell if he's coming to Chicago.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 08:05 AM) If this Pirates rumor is true, I would expect a Quintana trade done before Christmas. What would you want from Pittsburgh? I don't know their system that well, but I think Meadows is a must as the headliner.

This is exciting. Things seem to be heating up a bit.

Throw in Frazier. Robertson. Anything to get both Torres and Frazier.

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 03:52 PM) And Quintana is a very good pitcher, he is not on the level of Sale. Wrong.

From Andrew Marchand of ESPN:

I think I would prefer Torres as well. He's younger and more raw, but I think his ceiling is higher. It'd be awesome if a former Cubs prospect became a star on the South Side.

If the Yankees said they'd part with Frazier or Torres for Q, which one would you prefer? And why?

Not that it really matters, but isn't Torres an SS? Where would Anderson play if they acquired him?

So what's an acceptable package from the Yankees? Torres or Frazier, along with Judge, Mateo, Andujar, and Severino?
