Honestly it felt a little too good to be true.

Im sure someone asked this already but.. Why does this make sense for the Yankees?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 11:14 AM) He called me a know it all dickhead. Apparently he doesn't read his twitter. His entire post was him telling everyone how great he is. The video is there for everyone to see. If he wants to punch me in the face, we can have it arranged. I think when the moment arrives, however, the gum will fall out of his mouth. I have heard of can't walk and chew gum at the same time. That was the first time I ever saw someone who just can't chew gum at the same time. Ooh damn. Is this why WSD tweeted for us to get some popcorn ready?

Keyword "potentially" Sounds like a stab in the dark to me.

I like that Colorado package.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 07:19 AM) https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.mlb.com/21...l?client=safari I didn't see this anywhere, but thought it was worth sharing. Here are 8 Quintana trade proposals by the great Phil Rogers: **Please note that many of these proposals are absolutely horrific** CHC: Happ, Candelario, Zagunis NYY: Frazier, Tate, Williams, Solak PIT: Meadows, Holmes, Frazier HOU: Tucker, Reed, Gustave TEX: Profar, Gallo, Ibanez, Nicholas COL: Rodgers, Tapia, Murphy STL: Weaver, Bader, Kelly LAD: De Leon, Verdugo, Buehler, Barnes Shoo Texas, shoo.. go away

QUOTE (103 mph screwball @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 06:07 AM) Something should happen today if the Sox demands have been met. If not, they should shut down talks until after the holidays. In my opinion, it wouldn't be right to trade a player during Christmas. If nothing happens today I agree. I wouldnt think the GMs would want to bother each other until after the fact either.

Who is up with me? Who has the higher ceiling, Glasnow or Gioloto?

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 12:56 AM) That may just be the most insightful speculation of this thread yet! You say insightful.. i say maddening thinking about all the possibilities. Seriously im becoming delirious

QUOTE (New Era on South Side @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 10:58 PM) Do we have any rumors or any meaningful conversation or do I have to read since page 174? Someone tweeted that the Cardinals were in talks for Q.

QUOTE (Mattchoo @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 10:00 PM) I don't get why Pitt would want to trade Glasnow. He seems like on the verge and could be 1 or 2 starter talent. But could be a 4 or 5. He isn't a sure thing. Holding pat and not trading for Q is a risky move if they are counting on Glasnow.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 09:27 PM) So the Sox will have 2 future power hitting DHs in Bell & Collins. Bleh. From reading the opinions of Pirates posters they were optimistic that his defense at first would improve.

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 09:27 PM) I would do Meadows and Bell straight up 2-for-1 for Q. Probably throw in Frazier too, though demand a lesser (outside Pittsburgh's top 10) 3rd piece added in that case. I wouldn't sell Frazier short. He still has value and was incredibly unlucky last season.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 09:22 PM) Meadows and Bell would be the winner...and another lower level piece or two. If it's Glasnow instead of Meadows, not sure you still pull the trigger, probably. Then you send Frazier (more likely, with a salary subsidy to help them financially) with Q to improve the 3rd/4th pieces coming back. Or you can do Q/Abreu if they prefer Jose...and that's the single sticking point in getting the deal done, replacing Bell's projected offensive contributions. JR almost never does this type of trade where we eat money to get back talent back (usually the opposite), but there's always HOPING. If Abreu is attached we better be getting their 1-6 prospects.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 09:12 PM) Which deal would you guys prefer? 1) Glasnow, Bell, & Newman 2) Martes, Tucker, Reed, & Stubbs I would definitely take #1, but would be open to #2 as I'm higher on Tucker than most here. I would love either one. I'm leaning towards 1 but I'm with you on Tucker. He will be a beast.

Indians have the division by the balls for the next couple of years. Good for them (but still !@#$ the Indians)

I really wish there was a leak about what the Pirates were offering on the table or what the Sox have been demanding.

Come on Hahn, give us a nice xmas present!!

QUOTE (Username @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 11:25 AM) Somebody may have already posted this but Phil Rodgers went on MLBN earlier today and said that: 1) The Cardinals have been in contact about Q 2) The Cubs are a dark horse to watch 3) The Sox are supposedly largely looking for bats in a Q trade Am I wrong for strongly prefering the Pirates prospects?

QUOTE (Saufley @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 11:15 AM) We're OK! As long as the return is good. Meadows Bell and Keller gogogo

QUOTE (Saufley @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 11:09 AM) Wow get up on the wrong side of the bed!!! Sorry my life has other things to do except watch TV all day! Get a life! Now, was your response really necessary? Savage

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 11:06 AM) Almost seems like a foregone conclusion that Glasgow would be part of a deal but I'm more worried about the other bats. Need 1/2 legit bats. Still seems like Meadows is unlikely & frankly Bell is risky. Not sure how to feel right now. Why do you say Bell is risky? He put up solid numbers since being called ip.

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 09:55 AM) I'm not getting my hopes up because it's so far fetched, but think about this going forward 1 Moncada 2b S 2 Meadows Cf L 3 Abreu DH R 4 Bell 1b S 5 Collins C L With the young arms the Sox already have acquired. Time to quit dreaming. Where is Bryce Harper ?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 08:36 AM) Yeah, his 1.87 ERA with 133 strikeouts and 65 hits allowed in 110 2/3 innings in AAA is a huge drop off. What do you have against facts? At one point a poster should be completely OK writing "heh, you are right how silly of me" It is a wonder nobody does it. I guess everyone needs to be correct 100% of the time.

Damn they are going to get Quintana. I can feel it. DO YOU HEAR THAT LUHNOW?????
