Nats have checked in on Robertson, Colome

Kanny also got PPD so no more Dunning Day.

Greg Johns @GregJohnsMLB Mariners have DFA'd Leonys Martin to make room for Vogelbach. Although not Sox related, could be a nice pickup if he could bounce back and man CF.

Danny Mendick is up for play of the week, you can watch/vote here.

These 2-3 week overreaction troll threads are in mid-season form.

This is the "not so fun" side of a rebuild, but all part of the process.

James Fegan‏ @JRFegan 27m27 minutes ago More Charlie Tilson is going to the 60-day DL to clear a 40-man spot. But Hahn says that is not indicative of any change in his recovery timeline

Ben Badler Video Discussing Robert, Says Sox Legitimate Contender Last minute or so he just covers the Sox.

Jesse Sanchez Article, no real new info, same interested teams covered, but hey it's new

Moncada scores on a Delmonico single to tie it up at 3.

QUOTE (Two-Gun Pete @ Apr 20, 2017 -> 08:13 PM) Yeah, I don't see Robert signing here. Not with THIS ownership, & not with THIS front office. But most of all, I cant see this happening here at the prices he's rumored to command. I'll guess that we'll get to see Robert play in St Louis for a decade. Haven't the "rumored" prices he's going to command all come from Soxtalker's spit-balling numbers? Unless I've overlooked an article I don't recall seeing anything about a specified $ amount he's looking to command.

Dan Hayes @CSNHayes 4m They'll face good competition, but the #WhiteSox look to make a strong push for the services of Cuban Luis Robert, who is now a free agent.

SB for Moncada, relatively easily.

MONCADA HR ALERT, RIGHT HANDED!

The Birmingham offense is real tough to watch and the defense wasn't much better in the 1st for Kopech either (including his pickoff E).

QUOTE (Dunning White Sox @ Apr 20, 2017 -> 01:56 PM) Do you think he'll still be around at #11 though the way he is trending? Would be a nice pickup. Agreed definitely don't need any more strikeout prone players. From what's been reported recently it's been mentioned that he could be working his way into the top 10 with how well he's been playing. At this point it's still probably tough to say, but I sure hope he's around.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Apr 20, 2017 -> 01:05 PM) Yeah, I have a hard time seeing the Sox pass on Hasely for Adell when Adell has some legitimate concerns around his bat to ball skills. Haseley is trending similar to the way Benitendi did when he was drafted. Yeah especially considering their new approach to drafting "baseball players", it would make way to much sense to take him.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 20, 2017 -> 12:46 PM) Speculation is that Minnesota wants to cut a deal at #1. 1. Twins-Brendan McKay LHP Louisville 2. Reds- Hunter Greene RHP California (HS)-Rumors that he wants to fall to SD at #3 3. San Diego- Royce Lewis SS/CF HS (California 4. Tampa Bay: Kyle Wright RHP Vandy 5. Atlanta: Austin Beck OF HS (North Carolina) 6. Oakland: JB Bukauskus RHP North Carolina 7. Arizona: MacKenzie Gore LHP HS (North Carolina) 8. Phillies: Pavin Smith 1B Virginia 9. Milwaukee: Jeren Kendall CF Vandy 10. Angels: Alex Faedo RHP Florida 11. White Sox: Jo Adell OF HS (Kentucky) 12. Pirates: Adam Haseley OF Virginia That's the guy I have my eye on. Hoping he's there at #11, guy has been MASHING.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 20, 2017 -> 12:48 PM) Th e approach the Sox have taken as far as being cautious with these free agent signings hasn't been bad. Maybe Robert is top notch I don't know, but I would ask how many BIG dollar signings have really made significant impacts? Spend your money wisely and don't get into a money spending frenzy. Abreu cost us like $10M a year and made an immediate impact, but look at Viciedo According to Sportrac, in Viciedo's 6+ seasons with the Sox his total earnings were slightly under $16.5M, $4M of which was a signing bonus. Not really a huge $ commitment.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Apr 20, 2017 -> 12:39 PM) But Avi has always shown us he had the tools - it was just a matter of putting the pieces together. He's hitting .423 now.....so lets say he does slump a little and ends up only hitting .375 for the season with 30 HRs and 110 RBIs. That would fetch at least $20 mil per season in the winter. If we could sign him now for 6/72, it secure a major building block and save us a ton of money. I can see you're already enjoying the holiday today, can you hook a fellow Soxtalker up??

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 20, 2017 -> 11:50 AM) ...4 weeks of this? Ugh. Yeah that part is gonna suck, but hey, at least we have a definitive date to look for now.

Jesse Sanchez @JesseSanchezMLB now Source: Cuban OF prospect Luis Robert, 19, was declared a free agent today but will not be eligible to sign until May 20. @MLBPipeline

Jesse Sanchez @JesseSanchezMLB now A's, Astros, Cardinals, White Sox, Padres, Reds are among the teams with strong interest in OF prospect Luis Robert. #Cuba @MLBPipeline
