QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 10:44 AM) I can't see this being more than due diligence by the Yankees. They have an excellent farm system and it would be a big step backwards for them to pilfer it now and trade for Quintana. They certainly do have the prospects to put a deal together though Even if it is, maybe this leak will pressure Houston or even Colorado to give the Sox what they want. I'm hopeful. C'mon Rick Hahn.

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 10:41 AM) Hey a new rumor!!! Jon MorosiVerified account ‏@jonmorosi #Yankees interested in Jose Quintana, source says, and they have the sort of prospects #WhiteSox are looking for. @MLB @MLBNetwork link Holy s***. If the Sox could get Torres or Frazier along with Rutherford I would crap my pants.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 10:33 AM) I know you asked Rabbit (it's opinionated anyway) but in my opinion I'm gonna say no. But why? Unless the market for him just isn't there, I find it highly unlikely that Jones will ever be worth more than he is right now. The Sox need to take advantage of that.

I can say with absolute certainty that I have never heard of this guy. Doesn't seem like much on paper but who knows.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 10:21 AM) Agreed. Sox best course of action is to let Robertson rebuild his value and trade Jones and his incredible contract now. Do you think it's likely that Jones is moved this offseason? Like you said, they might as well move Jones now while his value is sky high and wait for DRob to get back to the way he was before last season and flip him to a desperate team next trade deadline.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 10:16 AM) I've heard the market for Robertson described as "ice cold." Sox aren't getting anything of significance for Robertson. Well that sucks. Might as well hold onto him and hope he does well next year so he can be flipped at the deadline.

Hawk is one of the greatest announcers to ever live whether you like him or not. Living legend.

QUOTE (CregerMax @ Dec 18, 2016 -> 05:29 PM) With those numbers, how does he get 30+ starts? Because the Sox want the #1 overall pick in 2018, lol. On a side note, are you on the Blowout Cards Forum? I feel like I recognize your username from somewhere.

31 starts 6.41 ERA 188 IP 117 K 87 BB 46 HR 1 CG 0 SO 17 QS

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 16, 2016 -> 08:01 PM) Ziegler is now off the market. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/12/marl...p;post-id=80760 Hopefully this helps Robertson's market. Agreed my friend. I think it will. The Nationals wanted Ziegler, hopefully they go hard after Robertson now.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Dec 16, 2016 -> 11:12 AM) Absolutely agree. I feel like it really started going to s*** around Thanksgiving 2008. LMAO.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 15, 2016 -> 02:04 PM) It would be Q's luck to get traded to Colorado He has what it takes to thrive there IMO.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 15, 2016 -> 11:44 AM) According to Bob Nightengale, Rockies are in discussions with Encarnacion and Trumbo. HOLY s***! Signing either one of them makes me feel like they'd HAVE to trade for an ace like Q.

It's possible the Rockies could move an outfielder like Blackmon and then use some of the prospects they get for him in a Q trade.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 15, 2016 -> 10:21 AM) Rockies sign Mike Dunn. 3yr/$18m. Go all-in Rockies and deal for Q and Robertson. That's insane. Why not give that money to Boone Logan who they're familiar with and trust?

Hahn should have a statue erected of himself in front of the G Spot if he can get Rodgers, Dahl, McMahon, and Murphy for Q.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 15, 2016 -> 09:22 AM) I bet a lot of moves happen (not just our team but around the MLB in general) in the next 8-9 days before the holidays. I agree honey.

Stephen Piscotty would be a great get but he's probably untouchable at this point.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 14, 2016 -> 12:57 PM) Cespedes cost around $30 million for that season. The mess of one years signings cost the Sox no where near that much. It wasn't $30 million, but all the crappy free agents the Sox signed last offseason was a significant sum of money.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 14, 2016 -> 12:50 PM) Dude, $8M is nothing. If you think that is expensive on the FA market, the Sox stand no chance of turning this thing around. Perhaps I used the wrong word. I meant unproductive. If the player performs, they deserve a nice contract. The Sox commonly give money to guys that don't perform to expectations.

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 14, 2016 -> 12:15 PM) You care Mike...you care... The payroll is going to be ridiculously low next year, so it's not that big of a deal right now. But like GreenSox said, Hahn can't add these expensive, declining veterans for millions when the team is competitive again. They could've signed a star like Cespedes last year with all the money they blew on scrubs.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 14, 2016 -> 12:12 PM) Who cares? It's a one year deal and it's not like the Sox are hurting for money right now. I don't care. Obviously the Sox can afford it. I'm just saying that's a lot of money for a pitcher like him. That's all.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 14, 2016 -> 11:56 AM) The #WhiteSox still want to trade Jose Quintana,and figured #Astros were perfect match, but won't move him until someone meets their price. https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/809094035944144896 This tweet is the definition of posturing. The Sox are using Nightengale to try and up the Astros' offer.

and can someone please change the spelling of his name in the thread title? It's Derek, not Derrick.

Up to $8 million for Holland of all people? Ugh. I was hoping it'd be half that.
