Q to the Cubs Chicago White Sox @whitesox #WhiteSox have acquired OF Eloy Jiménez, RHP Dylan Cease, 1B Matt Rose & INF Bryant Flete from the Cubs in exchange for LHP José Quintana.

Scott Merkin @scottmerkin now White Sox rotation vs. Seattle: Fri--James Shields, Sat--Derek Holland, Sun--Jose Quintana

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 01:38 PM) They're dangling Happ supposedly. Also Babe Ruth!

Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 21s Sources: #Twins checking on controllable starters. List would include Quintana, Gray, as well as someone like Straily (control through ’20).

Brian Bilek @BrianBilek_ now I was told earlier this week Milwaukee, New York and Colorado were leading the way on Q but nobody came forward with the "heavy names" yet.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 6, 2017 -> 01:09 PM) But if guys have no trade value do you really need 2 scrubs of return to dump in A ball somewhere and release in 2 years? The Sox have two tradeable assets in Robertson and Q and that's it. The rest will bring scrubs who mean nothing to a rebuild. You guys perplex me. Just stop it. They may not have value to you, but they may have value to other MLB GMs. Now only time will tell on the latter, but to keep pushing that everyone (outside of DRob & Q) is worthless is simply ridiculous.

Los White Sox @loswhitesox now Hemos activado a David Robertson de la lista de paternidad; Michael Ynoa ha sido designado para asignación.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 6, 2017 -> 10:07 AM) Anyone who is a free agent after this season is 100% gone. That includes; Todd Frazier Melky Cabrera Derrick Holland Miguel Gonzalez (well the not healthy part might hold up a deal here) Mike Pelfrey (though no one may want him, even at a zero price... honestly he is probably a DFA candidate for August 1) Anthony Swarzak Then there are the players that have been talked about for almost a year now, who I would tend to bet on being gone; Jose Quintana David Robertson After that comes wild card players who have had great seasons, but the Sox may price out of the market; Avi Garcia Tommy Kahnle Players heading into arb years the Sox could listen on; Luery Garcia David Holmberg Dan Jennings (Probably has no value left) Charlotte Knights @KnightsBaseball now JUST ANNOUNCED: @whitesox RHP Miguel Gonzalez will start for the #CLTKnights tonight in #Durham on a rehab assignment. #WhiteSox Some good news here

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 30, 2017 -> 06:55 PM) I accomplish as much as you do. Just because I don't blindly accept the so-called rebuild. For instance I just read the prospects article, which was a fine article. From reading it, seems to me Moncada is a disaster at 2B defensively, and Collins is abysmal hitter and Fulmer is a total joke at this point. Just cause I bring up the bad doesn't mean I'm a bad poster. I don't trust the White Sox organization. At all. SELL JERRY, SELL. What is your main beef? I speak my heart and if it's not all roses, sorry. You shouldn't be allowed to call me weird and/or troll BTW. There it is, right on queue. Montero is trash, hard pass.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 12:39 PM) I like the Robert signing. That's not really rebuilding however. I consider it more free agency. You see a guy. You sign a guy. That to me is great. However it was alarming to read the ESPN.com Magazine article on the Cuban players and so so many are busts. I don't consider a signing of a Cuban player as part of any rebuild. This losing and tanking for draft picks and trades are the crucial rebuild mechanisms. We've signed Cuban players before and didn't call it part of any rebuild. So far this rebuild has given us a horrible season this season and a GM who for some reason didn't complete his blockbuster trades of Q and Robertson last winter. He has two trades to make this season as this so called rebuild continues. Let's see who he gets for Q and Robertson. I am glad four of us gave the rebuild a 2 thus far. I guess I could start patting Hahn on the back if Moncada comes up and looks like the superstar he supposedly is. I also was high high high on Anderson at one time, but everybody has limits. I finally got sick of low on base percentage and inability to take a walk. He did have a few walks in June and now has nine which is lending some hope. He did have a good on base percentage his last year of AA so maybe ... Glad to see the hat style changed this week.

Scott Merkin @scottmerkin 1m Source: Evan Skoug's signing bonus with the White Sox is for $300,000

Braves interested in Q, Archer per Dave O'Brien

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 26, 2017 -> 01:26 PM) Totally. His face looks like a video game character. And now having checked the scoreboard it's looking like the game may not be streamed online

I'm very excited to get the chance to watch Alec Hanson and his marvelous pitch-face tonight.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 23, 2017 -> 03:29 PM) I don't understand why you keep saying "stat lovers." How do you tell how good a baseball player is? By how well they wear their uniform? If they wear high socks/stirrups = All Star, pants down to ankles = AAAA

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 22, 2017 -> 02:06 PM) The Cubs and Astros had everything that could go wrong go right. Everything. I am kind of upset the statniks are out there supporting the alleged snails pace rebuild. Their enjoyment of the so called rebuild takes our miserable front office (KW) off the hook for being unable to put together a division title contending team despite the presence of a handful of incredibly good players on the roster year after year. They wasted my time and yours with Robin at the helm for gawd sakes. TOTAL WASTE OF YEARS. We've had great closers. We've had Sale. We've had Abreu. We've had a decent to good nucleus that with the proper tinkering could have given us nirvana baseball the past 10 years. But nooooo. Oh well I can dream of Ozzie and the 05 team as I wait on this rebuild. p.s. Fulmer and Rodon better be great or the alleged rebuild takes a hit early on. The bolded makes me laugh every time I see it on one of your posts. Does this come custom fitted or is it adjustable?

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 22, 2017 -> 02:04 PM) Powerhouse? The cubs are barely a .500 team. /green Yes currently they are, but I believe that they're referring to them winning the World Series last year (in case you forgot), making a deep run in 2015 when the expectations weren't that high at all. They still have a very talented roster but have played very poorly (World Series hangover or whatever you want to call it). Damn just noticed the /green, you got me!

Hudson Belinsky @hudsonbelinsky 11s 2nd round pick Gavin Sheets signs with #WhiteSox for $2M. Slot for pick 49 was $1,392,200. Huge power bat: baseballamerica.com/college/see-wa… Flavum first

Jim Callis @jimcallisMLB 1st-rder Jake Burger agrees w/@whitesox for $3.7 mil (pick 11=$4,199,200). Missouri St 3B, best power hitter in 2017 @MLBDraft. Didn't see this posted anywhere. If it was feel free to merge.
