QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 26, 2017 -> 02:11 PM) You deserve a spot on a political campaign the way you are taking things out of context and spinning the into something else completely different that isn't being said. So much of this post is just flat out wrong, as are every other post where you try to apply a few posts into full encompassing expectations, and then on top of that assign them some sort of value to reality. I am not sure why you keep lashing out at everyone who disagrees with you, and then posting lies to try to make it valid. If it's true to politics I believe they are called "alternative facts".

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Jan 25, 2017 -> 03:54 PM) If all the Sox players have big seasons they won't be a bad team and there will be no deadline selling. If anything they'll buy. This won't be the Yankees last year, not with Ken Williams around. Then you'll get all sorts of nonsense like a big Frazier extension and selling the farm for aging sluggers. I don't trust the same FO that made the Shield's trade to not overreact fo a hot month or two. This is just getting sad now...

Jeff Passan @JeffPassan now Source: RP Greg Holland and the Colorado Rockies have agreed on a one-year deal with a vesting option for a second year, pending physical.

Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal now Frazier’s injury has not been a factor in #WhiteSox’s trade talks. Again, he expects to be hitting by mid-February, ready to go in spring.

Jeff Passan @JeffPassan 55s Dodgers and Rays have discussed Jose DeLeon as the main return for Logan Forsythe. Unclear if he is in the deal at this point.

I was just telling my buddies that I split a 14-game plan with about this, I have to get one just to see how annoyingly awesome it is.

Frazier Piece by Soxtalk's Boy Levine

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 17, 2017 -> 10:39 AM) It's not that. Solid article actually. Basically just said Hahn wrecked the market with his outstanding deals. Never blamed him. Ok thanks for clearing it up!

Rick Hahn to Blame for Q market stalling out? This is from The Athletic, I don't have a subscription so I can't read anything past the first paragraph, but looks like potential blame shifting to RH taking too long to make a deal piece (basing that on context clues).

Jeff Passan @JeffPassan 15s Sources: Danny Duffy and the Kansas City Royals have agreed on a five-year, $65 million contract extension. One less potential SP to grab now. link C'Mon Houston, time to pony up!

Although not Q news, it is related. Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal now Sources: The #Astros, as they continue their search for a starting pitcher, have remained in contact with the #Athletics on Sonny Gray link

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Jan 15, 2017 -> 02:40 PM) That was the Bruce-iest article by Bruce Levine that I have ever read. It touches all the bases. Well at least it's "new", but yeah it's basically everything we've discussed numerous times already over two separate threads.
