Tough but probably Tucker. May be swayed by stupid Astros fans confidence that he's already better than Quintana.

Tucker. Not close.

Oh come on now

Praying for a Christmas miracle that the Astros come back with a solid counter-offer after seeing the latest names being thrown around in the Pirates rumors.

 

Edit: couldn't choose between Rutherford and Tucker. Would be equally happy with either. No, I'd be jumping for fricken joy!

Pardon my ignorance, but are we talking about Preston Tucker?

Thanks, cause I couldn't see the love for Preston.

Question to fill the time:

 

Who would you guys rather have, Blake Rutherford or Kyle Tucker?

 

Now that's close.

 

I'll probably say Rutherford, but won't judge anyone who says Tucker. I think Rutherford will be that good though.

No joke here, after the Quintana deal finally happens, what are we going to talk about all off-season?

 

Or just sit back and admire our new prospect toys and stacked farm system?

Garfien tweeted that there was "very little" to the three way trade rumors. The Yankees, he said, haven't been involved in Q for "awhile."

 

For what that may be worth to you.

 

Have no idea if this will happen as rumored or not.

Probably watching Bregman and Meadows, and saying why didn't we make THAT happen?

There is zero chance the Astros were ever going to deal bregman, even for sale. He'll be their third baseman long term

Do the Sox take on McCutchen and then flip him if he truly is a salary dump for the Pirates?

 

If so, what kind of package could come back with him for Q?

I understand that. I was predicting that there will always be some dissatisfied posters. I love what Hahn is doing.

I don't see the sox taking mccutchen back. They want prospects in return.

Welp. Things seem to have come to a screeching halt. Really thought something was going to happen this afternoon, even though the McCutchen part never made sense to me.

 

I have no doubt several teams are trying for Q. Still really want Meadows. Is be fine with a lesser package like Meadows, Keller and Diaz to make sure we get Meadows. Basically take one less piece with the third piece also being a little less exciting.

I understand that, but they could flip Cutch too.

Guys, Brian said before Christmas.

 

We have time.

Does anyone else find it odd that raBBit is the only one reporting this three team deal -- and every other media outlet is shooting it down?

Heyman was the only one shooting it down, and Chuck didn't understand it as he thinks the Yankees would be getting Q. Those are the only 2 that have acknowledged it so far.

Brian's White Sox source is legit.

I know, just kinda getting out in front of anyone that is.

Yea - anyone who questions raBBit, bucket, or rock around here obviously haven't been around these parts very long.

Wonder if the Sox agree to take Freese and his contract in return for an additional prospect being added to the trade. Not sure that would be enough salary relief for Pitt.
