Lie?! I prefer Pure Canard or Prevarication

That is some next level alternative history there haha...but I'll play. If Shields pitched the last 4 innings in an epic game 7 for the 2016 World Series Champion White Sox then hell yes the trade was worth it. Back to real history...the problem I will always have with the Shields trade was that Erik Johnson should have been more than enough to acquire a James Shields who had been called out by the Padres owner for sucking so badly. The fact that Hahn had to throw anyone else in the deal is a joke, The fact it was Tatis borders on a tragedy.

IMHO Mike Napoli sucking in that World Series has a lot more to do with the Cubs winning than Chapman but I get your point. Theo made the move that he thought he needed to make and paid the price necessary to get the best closer available...Do they win it all without Chapman?...Like you said that will always be just speculation.

Yep, he gave up the lead in game 7 of the World Series...people seem to forget that.

My wife put a bag of Halos in the grocery cart and asked me "are these the same as Cuties?" I confidently said "Yes" but I do not really know.

With seemingly few rumors about Cole or Strasburg, Zack is the big catch now. As others have said, the longer this goes on the less I like the Sox' chances of landing Wheeler.

If we still have his rights, I would trade Despaigne for that outfit.

Engel is definitely quite useful on a 26 man roster IMHO

I don't mind much comin' here And wastin' all my time 'Cause when a deal is' oh so near I kinda lose my mind Often an annoying affair With random tweeting that we share But I don't mind much comin' here And wastin' all my time Soxtalk is just what I needed (Just what I needed) F5 puts me in a haze Soxtalk is just what I needed (Just what I needed) Didn’t want to work anyways Hey, hey, just pay him!!!

Sure...let's call it the PETA clause....void it for even being at a cockfight ?

That sounds like behavior an Astros fan might engage in, Lillian. I am against such shenanigans.

Whatever that means...I hope it gives the Sox grounds to void that contract

And if Jose talks either or both of them into being one team guys too...that Abreu extension will be well worth it

I kind of feel that the Sox would have a chance at extending both Robert and Moncada because they already have life changing money. If they are happy and comfortable here why not take some extension $. But that is just me. Some guys do just want to test free agency I guess.

Yep...you must not really want Wheeler.

Modelo...the official import beer of the Chicago White Sox...the fact that you are drinking one has to mean something!!!

Good luck on the grad apps...I am actually doing some online holiday shopping today so that I can get things delivered now and leave them around the house until I have to frantically wrap them right before Xmas.

Not the best role model, Carlos. That guy up and quit baseball instead of trying again

Yous guys and your English grammarization is funny

Well I hate gossip, but my barber told me that Peggy Kasinski's son's ex girlfriend was in line at a lemonade stand at the airport and overheard that something is definitely up.

Dear Rick, If you could get this Wheeler deal done today or tomorrow I would appreciate it. I don't think my family will appreciate me checking Soxtalk at the Thanksgiving table. Thank you. An anxiously awaiting fan

Found "What happened to Soxtalk" on Reddit and was reading through it before I realized that thread was over a year old, haha.

Quick question...If they were going to do this early why not do it last week and protect someone else from rule 5?

Is anyone combing all the airports to get Yolmer's reaction?
