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.

QUOTE (beautox @ Dec 9, 2016 -> 12:18 AM) I really like Jake Burger, JJ Schwarz and Brendan McKay. I think it would be awesome to draft Jake Burger in '17 and Seth Beer in '18 the promos write themselves. I've read a lazy comp of burger to Bryant so we'll see. Anyone got a hot take on Beer? Trade for Pint and you would have the easiest and most fun marketing job the baseball world has ever seen. Beer Pint Burger We would be the most liked team in the league.

I would be fine with Frazier and Robertson staying until the deadline to have them rebuild their stock. If Frazier can get back to his career norms you could get a decent haul.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 01:03 AM) Sold They were absolutely unbeatable for years. Not only did they have Tapia, Moran, and Reed hitting 50 home runs a year but they also signed Harper who was putting up MVP numbers and Altuve nearly breaking hit records. Anyways back on topic.

Colin Moran and AJ Reed were hall of famers in my OOTP save. Tapia was close to HOF worthy.
