Marc Topkin @TBTimes_Rays BREAKING: #Rays get relief, acquiring LHP Dan Jennings from #WhiteSox for 1B prospect Casey Gillaspie

Willy Garcia not in Charlotte's lineup tonight....

QUOTE (Señor Ding-Dong @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 04:17 PM) Damn, I almost forgot Leury existed. Any word on his status? Chicago White Sox @whitesox now Leury García will begin a rehab assignment today with the Arizona Rookie League White Sox.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 11:24 PM) SH, I suspect outside the top 150 still means somewhere near the top 150. If outside the top 150 is still fair game for like the 700th rated prospect, then fine, I stand corrected. Is he really the 700th though? What if Cordell ranks 350, or 225, or 475? Does his player ranking really truly matter in the grand scheme of things? Cordell has potential and the Sox traded away a veteran player on a prove it milb deal that happened to pitch very well this season (and with a mediocre at best track record) to get him.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 11:09 PM) I called people sheep for accusing me of being an idiot for wanting a player better than Ryan Cordell, when that was nowhere near what the vast majority was speculating prior to the deal occurring. See the difference? I recall the one tweet we all saw that said he MIGHT possibly fetch a prospect outside top 150 from Hayes that's exactly what the Sox did here so I'm not sure what "vast majority" you're referring to. Seems like this trade falls exactly into what Hayes tweeted out yesterday. If you have other examples where it's stated that he'd fetch something better I must have overlooked and would truly love to check them out.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 10:34 PM) There is something called groupthink that happens, and it absolutely happens here. Compare the threads discussing what we think should be the returns for players, and then compare the actual returns for players. The difference is ridiculous. Considering that this is a message board it's not surprising. We're all fans and follow the sport/team more intensely than others, but regardless what we think we know, we aren't in the know of what's actually being discussed (Unless one/some of us are secretly Rick, Kenny, Jerry, etc., I apologize) or what true value of said asset actually is. Soxtalk mock proposals are just that. I'd say I was a bit let down by the Yankees trade after it came out, this one I was pleasantly surprised with. You don't have to agree with me and I don't care if you do and vice versa. You don't have to like the trade either, it's your right. Calling everyone sheep for being optimistic about a return on a player signed to a 1 year milb deal is pretty ridiculous. It's not like the Sox traded away Andrew Miller for Timo Perez 2.0.

Charlotte Knights @KnightsBaseball now ROSTER MOVES: Catcher Carson Blair & RHP Bobby Parnell released by #WhiteSox. Catcher Roberto Pena activated off DL... Charlotte Knights @KnightsBaseball now ROSTER MOVES: RHP Michael Ynoa placed on the DL (retroactive to 7/23), LHP Will Lamb traded to #Colorado organization. Roster 25 active.

Ryan Divish @RyanDivish Mariners getting cash back in the deal with the White Sox for Machi and Lowe. Opportunity for them to get to the big leagues

Well this couldn't hurt...I wonder what was given up in return.

QUOTE (KnightsOnMintSt @ Jul 21, 2017 -> 04:38 PM) So there is always the discussion on if the White Sox could sign Harper or Machado, but what about a trade for Stanton? The reason I think this would be interesting is because the White Sox probably wouldn't have to give up as many prospects as usual, solely because of the amount of money they would have to take on. Something like: White Sox get: Giancarlo Stanton. Marlins get: Eloy Jimenez, Zack Collins, Dane Dunning, Alec Hansen, and Spencer Adams. The Sox literally just beefed up the farm with impact talent, so let's turn around and give half of it away? HARD PASS

Jerry Crasnick @jcrasnick 3m There's lots of Todd Frazier to #redsox buzz, but they're still monitoring other 3B options. Search is still "wide open,'' says a source.

Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal now Prospects headed to #Athletics from #Nationals are LH Jesus Lazardo and 3B Sheldon Neuse. Those two plus Treinen for Doolittle, Madson.

White Sox Release Everth Cabrera

QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 04:04 PM) Will probably be Saladino and Gonzalez. I'd agree. I think these are the two most likely moves to be made, they make a lot of sense since they're both on rehab assignments and just about ready.

Jason Benetti @jasonbenetti now I'm told by a very good @whitesox source that Yoan Moncada is not being promoted tomorrow. Website clerical issue after Futures Game. nothing to see here

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 03:46 PM) Daryl Van Schouwen @CST_soxvan now Was told Yoan Moncada is not being called up by White Sox tomorrow. White Sox Twitterverse is convinced he is however. Hayes just confirmed he's not being called up as well. Dan Hayes @CSNHayes Same here.

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).
