Hahn is probably banking on a rebound from Robertson and wants to deal him at the deadline.

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 07:28 AM) If Meadows really is "untouchable" is there a package that would work. Would the Pirates do Bell, Glasnow, Keller, and Newman? Would/Should we do that? I would definitely make that trade. I honestly think it is a bit of an overpay however.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 10:49 PM) There's been multiple reports that the Yankees never got past the "Oh you want Frazier or Torres?" stage. If there are two teams bidding against each other, I would guess it's between Houston & Pittsburgh. It might be this thread or how Astros fans claimed they wouldn't want to give up a top 50 prospect for an alledged borderline #2 starter but I don't want to deal with Houston anymore. I hope they get shelled in the divisional series and that their top prospects bust. Reading their fan reactions and that Dave Cameron article completely turned me off. Pirates all the way baby.

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 11:14 AM) These Pirates fans I keep reading who say "Meadows and Glasnow to start..." or something similar have me too excited. They are much more reasonable than Astros fans. You would have thought Q was a garbage #5 the way they talked about him.

Meadows, Newman, and Keller

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 05:04 AM) Both Meadows and Glasnow probably too much to ask for, so give me OF Austin Meadows, SS Kevin Newman, RHP Nick Kingham and 3B Max Moroff. Would love Adam Frazier too but they probably don't want to subtract anything from their big-league roster. That gives you the #9 prospect in baseball, #42, their #10 prospect who I think would be much higher if not for an injury-hit 2016 and their #20 prospect who has been statistically quite good despite a low pedigree. After reading up on Keller I"m wondering if we could snag him and Meadows together. Either way Meadows would be a huge pickup.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 05:23 AM) If Buster is reporting that in the middle of the night, do you guys think discussions were happening at that time I was wondering the same. Very stange timing. Maybe he is on vacation on the other side of the world somewhere. Ill keep an eye out.

Yes please!

A lot of optimism itt. .270/.300/.400 Edit: after some thought im on the hype train too. .290/.320/.450

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 08:38 PM) Hahn isn't stupid, this market is about as good as it gets for selling starting pitching. I honestly think the Sox & Astros are both holding their ground right now, but one or both of these teams will budge at some point. The reality is there are only so many teams that are desperate for a TOR starter and even fewer that have the assets to get a deal done. At much as we like to believe that Hahn has all the leverage, Luhnow is not going to bid against himself and pay some ridiculous price. The Sox & Astros really need each other IMO and I think both sides will eventually reach a compromise. I agree. I think the Astros will budge. The rumor they were interested in Duffy.. the leak that the Yankees are interested in Q.. it makes sense someone is trying to gain some leverage.

I would much rather him traded this offseason so that we can close this damn tease of a thread. On a serious note I really want Clint Frazier. Tank next season for Beer and I would be a very happy man.

Hawk and Wimpy were the reasons I became a Sox fan. Since Haray died my fandom became clear (my dad grew up in NY and moved to Chicago when I was born).

We seriously need a new tweet to spice up these rumors. I cant take it anymore

I'm more upset over the fact that Chapman won the World Series than I am about the Cubs winning.

Texas talking to EE. Hopefully an incentive for the Astros to pony up for Q.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 15, 2016 -> 11:18 AM) It's possible the Rockies could move an outfielder like Blackmon and then use some of the prospects they get for him in a Q trade. Or just have a 3 team trade. Who would be an odeal trade partner for Colorado and us? Who is in desperate need of a cf?

Next season I'm going to be more involved in rooting for individual success (Rodon, Fulmer, Anderson) while also hoping for team losses. I'll be heavily invested in the minors for the first time in a while. Getting a top 3 pick next draft is going to be very huge for this franchise going forward. Having Beer or Gray will be well worth it.

If only Texas was interested and had the prospects for a deal.

Unfortunately I have no patience. I'm in Thailand at the moment and my gf is starting to get angry at me for waking up at 5am to check my phone to see if any trades went down.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 11:00 PM) Is it Wednesday yet? What happens wednesday??

Claiming the 1000th post itt. Edit: damnit caufield..

Dodgers confident they will get Turner according to Olney.

This thread turned into a joke. Both of you need to grow up.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 03:09 AM) I don't know man, it's not like we are far and away one of the worst teams. I think top 10 draft pick is a safe bet, and top 5 is a good chance. But we would have to move Q, Frazier, Robertson, Jones, Abreu for me to think we have a chance at #1. I guess you are right but i would say if we trade quintana it would be pretty close.

You would have to think we will be in the top 2 for the 2018 draft. What a time to be alive. Gray looks amazing but Beer looks unworldly.
