QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 02:30 PM) I believe he would come back as a starter, at least for now. But even if he didn't it gives the team another option. As of today, who is the teams SS if Saladino flops? Leury Garcia

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 02:25 PM) I think with every big move, the odds of Alexei coming back go up. Even if he doesn't stay as your starter, it gives you another option, especially if Saladino flops. Why would the Sox pay Alexei $5 million or whatever it'd take to get him to then put him in a bench role? If he's coming back, it's as a starter IMO.

raBBit, if you had to guess right now, who do you think the Sox are getting?

If I had my choice between Gordon or Cespedes, I'd choose Cespedes. That being said, I'll be happy with either as long as the Sox do something. 6/100 for Cespedes would be a nice deal for the Sox IMO.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 12:15 PM) are you going to say this every day until something happens I'm sorry that I'm trying to be optimistic.

I have a feeling that something will happen soon.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 12:06 PM) Just stop, it's not going to happen. I know it won't happen, I'm just shooting for the stars lol.

How crazy would it be if Hahn found some way to sign both Gordon and Cespedes? That would be so awesome.

I AM SO EXCITED OH MY GOD SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN SOON!!!!

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 28, 2015 -> 04:23 PM) Oh stop it, you're just saying that! I've come to the conclusion that you're my favorite member on this forum. Not only are you knowledgable about the Sox, but you're also witty and extremely funny. Keep up the good work.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 28, 2015 -> 04:13 PM) Uh oh, now you've done it! Cue Hi8is in 3,2,1.... LMAO. I love you.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 28, 2015 -> 03:52 PM) Can we trade Robertson for Andrew Miller? If a deal were to happen, I wouldn't want DRob to be involved. A bullpen ending with Jones, Robertson, and Miller would be insanely fun to watch on a daily basis.

It'd be awesome if the Sox could trade for Andrew Miller now but it'd never happen.

I honestly have never heard of the guy before, but I saw it on MLBTradeRumors, so I figured I'd post it here. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/12/marl...als-hefner.html He's probably just bullpen depth, but I don't mind adding more competition in Spring Training.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 27, 2015 -> 10:10 PM) FWIW, I am in the minority with you. Honestly, I hope the Sox don't sign any of the big three. Why? The White Sox, as currently constructed, still aren't a playoff team in my opinion. Frazier and Lawrie are nice upgrades, but catcher, shortstop, right field, and left field are all still potential holes, not to mention the lack of decent pitching depth.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 27, 2015 -> 09:36 PM) That some realtor in KC said he turned down our offer. But I'll take any new news. LMAO. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being right though.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 27, 2015 -> 09:23 PM) Rabbit what's your opinion on the new news? What new news?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 27, 2015 -> 08:54 PM) Tomorrow is the day... That's what I'm thinking too. These free agents can only "play" the market for so long. I bet we'll see a bunch of signings in the next week or two.

The Bears are so bad. Wow.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 26, 2015 -> 06:21 PM) It's not just about the draft pick but to be honest, I've already stated why I'm not in favor of signing Gordon so I'll do the board a favor and not repeat myself. Let's just say I have the same concerns as others that would prefer the Sox sign or trade for someone else. If it was a perfect world, who would you want the Sox to get (realistically)?

I found this comment on MLBTradeRumors.com and I found it pretty interesting. It gives a good summary of the situation the Sox are in.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 26, 2015 -> 12:26 PM) Blah .blah blah blah blah Why do you keep posting stuff like this? Is there something you want to tell us?

QUOTE (Can O Corn @ Dec 25, 2015 -> 08:10 PM) I love this idea. I'd also like to pick up Dillon Gee, extreme ground-baller, to add starting pitching depth. Gee already signed with Kansas City IIRC.

This thread has over 800 posts, all of which are pure speculation. I love MLB Hot Stove.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 24, 2015 -> 11:54 PM) Way too much is being taken from a Sox fan that was just expressing his thoughts. Nelson never said anything in reference to inside sources or anything like that, he just expressed what he thought and if people read more into it then shame on them. Given that it's an extended holiday weekend, I'd guess there won't be much activity until Monday so please keep your knickers on Sox fans, its cold outside after all. And no, I don't have any inside sources nor spidy senses to back that up, just an un-educated guess. Stop it with your common sense...I want some action NOW dammit.
