I'm gonna predict tomorrow afternoon is when something happens. I base this off nothing.

Did Heyman have any indication of how far along anything is?

 

I doubt any deal is close. White sox will insist Glasgow and meadows are in the deal.

 

Glasgow, bell, Newman and Hayes would not be too shabby though

No, he seemed to be like we are, following Olney and Rosenthal tweets, and guessing.

I've got everybody saying Glasgow now!

Balta, what is a good Pirates message board? Trying to get a feel for what they think. I found a few, but very little action on the Q talk.

No clue, never had reason to look.

They don't have any good boards from when I was looking last. Oh, wait - nevermind - that's the Astros.

Anyone else feel like they keep teasing us with Quintana rumors early in the day and then left hanging till the next day lol

Yeah and it's really annoying lol

Glasnow or Meadows/Bell/Newman or Hayes/Escobar or Hearn is a great haul for Q

 

Diaz being a defensive minded 26 year old back stop shouldn't be a priority for the sox right now, focus on Collins developing and potentially getting a Kelly/Stubbs/Severino/Barnes/Plawecki/Swihart with a later trade of Jones or Robertson.

Why the infatuation with Bell? Is he a slightly better version of Chris Carter?

Must. Have. Trade.

 

( life will be on hold without resuming until it goes down. )

 

/me angry

Waaaaaaaay better overall hit / contact tool.

Tomorrow is Festivus. Just sayin'.

Not a good comparison at all, they are completely different hitters.

Seems to me that there is more reported interest in Q than Sale. Reported is the key word there. How cool would it be to get near equal value or more.

Q is really the last quality starter left available, for many teams this will be the last chance they have to upgrade their rotation until the deadline. I think there are many teams out there who kind of wish they had a chance now to one-up the Red Sox offer for Sale.

If the pirates are serious, the offer would have to be something like Glasnow, bell and Newman

 

They keep meadows as their future center fielder. White sox compromise, but acquire three top fifty prospects.

 

Bell can play 1b and do with a plus hit tool

 

Newman also has a plus hit tool and would fit at second base

 

Glasgow has ace potential

 

Deal really makes sense for each team if glasnow, meadows plus more can't get done

I've also heard it's possible for Bell to move into a corner OF position

I've also heard it's possible for Bell to move into a corner OF position

 

45 run tool likely limits him to 1b or dh

 

He could possibly play a crappy left field if he had to though?

Just a feeling but I don't think Pirates will give up Newman. I'm guessing Glasnow, Bell and Hayes is the structure of the deal

I don't take that... if they don't wanna give up Meadows it's Glasnow, Bell, and Newman or bust.

Will Craig is an interesting prospect. Crazy batting eye with good hit and power tools although the power has yet to develop.

 

Anyone from Future Sox know anything about Craig?

You really like Bell.

 

Are you concerned that a deal that did not include Meadows (but did include Bell) would leave us without enough premier hitting prospects after moving our top 3 pieces?

A little but can't fault them for getting best possible talent

I like him plenty as a secondary piece. Likely limited to first or DH though.
