July 10, 20169 yr The high profile exposure of being an All Star certainly couldn't hurt his trade value at the end of the month.

July 10, 20169 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 03:27 PM) The Sox aren't trading Quintana in the middle of a playoff race A playoff race they have very little chance of winning in my opinion. Mark
July 10, 20169 yr The Sox aren't trading him now, but they might after the season, assuming they continue to underwhelm. Regardless, very happy Q is getting some recognition for his hard work and excellence.
July 10, 20169 yr Q is going nowhere. With that said, it'd be nice if DD got desperate and overpaid the Sox to get Q. This team needs good young players. This core won't get it done and Hahn can't fill in the pieces to make them a real threat and contender.
July 10, 20169 yr I'm not one to usually care that much about All Star accolades but I'm really happy that Q got the nod. So underrated and never gets run support, he just goes out and takes care of business every 5 days. Congrats to Q.

July 11, 20169 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 03:27 PM) The Sox aren't trading Quintana in the middle of a playoff race The Sox aren't in the middle of anything. They are on the outer bounds periphery of the race for the second wild card playoff spot. 4 1/2 games behind four teams currently constructed better than the Sox, and tied with the defending World Series champions competing for that same spot. Better Hahn & Co. be thinking about converting Quintana into the likes of a Yoan Mancada or Jurickson Profar while they can.

July 11, 20169 yr And Cain will come back from his hamstring. Davis will be back. Adding those two will have more of an impact than Burdi/Morneau/Austin Jackson. KC's not going to sit by idly when they've had so many problems with Medlen and Chris Young pooping the bed. Kennedy's been a bit better than expected, Volquez and Ventura worse than expected. Duffy has essentially kept that rotation in it to this point (along with a boatload of unranked/rated minor league prospects few had ever heard of before 2016). With Morales now showing he's likely to be a solid player, and those crazy home/road record splits, you can be sure they're not going to tear anything down with 1 1/2 years left in their window. Those decisions will come next year at the ASB. THAT said, I'm not even sure optimistic KC fans think they have what it takes to hang with the AL East, Indians, Rangers (who will surely make another move or two on the pitching front) and Astros. They will either add or stand pat. And Detroit seems to be taking the position that what they have is who you go to war with (also betting on JD Martinez to spark the line-up upon returning from the DL)...and hoping for Norris and Boyd and Sanchez to figure things out (but also having to watch Fulmer's innings in Aug/September.)
