QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 08:07 PM) If the Cubs and Atlanta agree to the speculated Soler/Miller swap, the cubs rotation would be pretty solid on paper with Lackey as their #4. I hope the Dodgers up their offer for Miller. Agreed. I don't want to see a guy like Miller, Carrasco, Salazar, etc go to the Cubs.

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 07:24 PM) Wonder if this crushes my dreams of us trading Q for 2-3 MLB ready hitters. How would this crush your dreams? There are so many teams looking for quality pitching still and everyone would love to have Q in their rotation. I don't think it's a matter of finding a suitor for Q, it's a matter of getting a good enough return for him to pull the trigger on a deal.

QUOTE (daggins @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 07:22 PM) I have a feeling they either trade for a big starter (Q!) or bring in another FA like Chen or Shark. This is also another possibility. Although I doubt that they'd trade Inciarte/Peralta or whoever else now since they're clearly going all in.

This could also force the Dodgers to overpay for Q or gulp...even Sale out of necessity since they have to replace Greinke.

Archie Bradley is a key to their future success too. Maybe Greinke can help mentor him.

This is very surprising to say the least.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 06:40 PM) Not going to lie, I am not a fan of having other teams signings in the White Sox part of the website. I would much rather have them separate like they were before. Agreed. It's unnecessary clutter.

If only the Bulls had traded up for Porzingis. That guy is a stud.

This is my favorite quote that I've seen so far regarding the Lackey signing.

I just hope that the Cubs keeping losing in the next few years when their core is young and cheap. They'll be f***ed when Lester is at the end of his deal, Arrieta is expensive, and all their young guys are older and more expensive.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 04:43 PM) Seen a few places the Cardinals might go after Samardzija now As long as he's nowhere close to a White Sox uniform when the season starts and dominates the Cubs on whatever team he signs with, I'll be happy.

Hopefully he pitches like Samardzija did for the Sox.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 04:31 PM) This makes me happy as a Cubs hater Well said. Honestly, their rotation next year will be pretty meh if they don't pick up anyone else. There's no chance that Arrieta will be as dominant as he was in 2015, Lester is aging fast, as is Lackey, and Hammel and Hendricks have never been that good.

Lolz. Good luck to them signing a flyball pitcher that's old as dirt for that much money.

The Sox should sign this guy and Hwang.

All things considered, I'd probably swap Danks for Nova straight up.

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 03:57 PM) lets keep this thing civil. look at my posts.... lousy english even worst sentence structure. i am sorry but that is my racial side in me doing that no matter how hard i studied english. now my post were criticize alot until the mods / admin came and step it. the first point is, they will step in if really needed. trust me. second, if some posters can't counter a good post, yours, and attack you, know what they are doing. accept you did the right comment and btw, what does it matter in the big scheme .... a few more line and a new page is started and no one will remember... except you. don't let it eat at you. How do race and grammar have anything to do with each other? I'm confused.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 03:11 PM) He's definitely better than mediocre. Injuries have killed him the past 2 seasons however. It was after he had a bad game IIRC. Either way, blocking me after I said my opinion that had literally nothing to do with them seemed childish.

It seems like most Sox fans on Twitter are so sensitive and uptight about everything. A person on there blocked me because I called Nate Jones mediocre...lol.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 12:24 PM) Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 42s42 seconds ago Sounds like Jacob Turner is healthy and goes to camp with a shot at #WhiteSox rotation. Rotation? What? What about EJ or Danks?

I've said it before and I'll say it again - trading Sale now is a terrible idea.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 11:08 AM) What about a splash of Lawrie+Reddick? Don't know what we would send over there but I believe both have 2 years remaining. How about LaRoche and Danks for them?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 08:10 AM) Avi, LaRoche, Danks. Man, all 3 of these guys have been mentioned in proposed trades that bring back useful parts. You guys are smoking some nice bud. LMAO. I was thinking the same thing. Those 3 have literally no value whatsoever.

I wonder if the Rockies would accept a deal that involved Montas for McMahon straight up.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 07:39 AM) Which is why we should scout and do due diligence on the 3b arenado is blocking. Arenados War was 4.5 so let's not over hype him. Are you referring to Ryan McMahon?
