December 7, 20169 yr OK, I'm going to pick up the kid and go home. That'll be an hour or so. I want news when I come back on...
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (kwill @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:25 PM) More than likely the Sox leave with just making the Sale trade. I don't know about you guys but it seems to me that you will not get premier value for Quintana or Abreu in this market. I would hold them for mid-season or next offseason to trade. The guys I deal are Eaton, Frazier, Robertson and Jones. Jones would even be worth keeping if you believe he can close games for you. His value would sky rocket if he can be as successful as closer as he has been in middle relief. I think you'll get good value for Quintana, but Abreu is not in a good year to trade. Honestly don't think Robertson is either. Even with the 100 mill deals going out, lots are available.
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:23 PM) Scott Merkin @scottmerkin 42s43 seconds ago Maryland, USA Source: White Sox working on a deal to send Adam Eaton to the Nationals. IT'S HAPPENING I would imagine Robles would have to be included. Considering the contract, I don't see how it can be for much less than the Sale offer. Man are the White Sox going to be bad for a couple of years. I really didn't think they would trade Eaton for prospects. Too good, and too friendly of a contract, with 5 years on it.

December 7, 20169 yr Might as well keep on refreshing Merkins twitter page. He seems to be the one the Sox are going to give this one too first
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:19 PM) Soxtalk translation at the moment is any prospect that isn't Trea Turner, Benintendi, Swanson, Urias or Bregman are second tier.
December 7, 20169 yr Someone at the River Ave Blues board claiming to have an insider source says its for Giolito and Lopez. FWIW Edited December 7, 20169 yr by Sockin
December 7, 20169 yr WSD just retweeted someone saying sox using nationals to up cardinals offer is lol
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (Tony @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:30 PM) If this happens, I don't think it's an accident Sale and Eaton went first and second. Was thinking the same thing.
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (Tony @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:30 PM) If this happens, I don't think it's an accident Sale and Eaton went first and second. I sniff a Robles + Fedde + Severino deal for Eaton
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:32 PM) I sniff a Robles + Fedde + Severino deal for Eaton That doesn't get me that excited. I want Robles + Giolito/Lopez.
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 02:36 PM) A strong half by Abreu could make him one of the most valuable bats at the deadline He can play crappy defense at 1B or DH for an American league team Am I nuts, or do the Rangers appear to be in serious need of a 1B/DH? Why wouldn't they be interested in Abreu? (Side note...wow that Shin Soo Choo signing has backfired on the Rangers) I was watching MLB this afternoon and it was reported the Rangers were not looking to add a marquee FA. Cost?? Abreu would hit well in that park. If Abreu was sent to Texas what would a return look like? Watching MLB and they just said Sox and Washington working on an Eaton trade.
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:33 PM) That doesn't get me that excited. I want Robles + Giolito/Lopez. It might not be as exciting, but it makes sense for both teams Eaton is not getting us Robles/Lopez or Robles/Giolito but Robles + Fedde + Severino would be a very nice all around return I feel. Remember, we really really need organizational depth at nearly every position
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:33 PM) That doesn't get me that excited. I want Robles + Giolito/Lopez. Robles, Lopez, Stevenson, Severino seems like a fair deal for an all-star caliber RF cheaply under team control for 5 years.

December 7, 20169 yr Rosenthal: Source confirms: #Nationals in talks to acquire Adam Eaton from #WhiteSox. First reported: @scottmerkin. Edited December 7, 20169 yr by Sockin
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:35 PM) Robles, Lopez, Stevenson, Severino seems like a fair deal for an all-star caliber RF cheaply under team control for 5 years. I think that is more than the Nats would be willing to give up
December 7, 20169 yr @Ken_Rosenthal Source confirms: #Nationals in talks to acquire Adam Eaton from #WhiteSox. First reported: @scottmerkin.
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:36 PM) Rosenthal confirms. It's legit. Scott Merkin @scottmerkin now Heard it is just Eaton being discussed in the deal on the White Sox side
December 7, 20169 yr Merkin also said Hahn was supposed to speak with media at 430, but they suddenly pushed that meeting back. Probs because he's working on a deal.
December 7, 20169 yr Merkin says it would be just Eaton coming from the Sox. Edited December 7, 20169 yr by Sockin
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:36 PM) Rosenthal confirms. It's legit. Is it done? Or did he just confirm they're in "serious talks" or whatever the phrase of the day is?
December 7, 20169 yr How much you wanna bet Hahn is just going to use the Nationals as leverage again, screw them over AGAIN, just to bump up price for another team.
December 7, 20169 yr As much as I'd love Gioloto or Lopez back we need another young position player with star potential. I personally rather have Robles than either of them. Call me crazy.
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:38 PM) Is it done? Or did he just confirm they're in "serious talks" or whatever the phrase of the day is? No, confirms that we're in [insert phrase], not that it's done
