Don't worry. That's why you belong to soxtalk! It's all good.

At least my divorce was finalized yesterday. Two years of court appearances to end a 4 year marriage. Talk about a nightmare. So relieved that I don't have to wear a lawyer hat anymore... it's gonna take a good couple weeks for me to sink into life without all of that nonsense.

 

Just gotta send her some more money and pay some back taxes... then the only tie I'll have with her is our son.

 

Good riddance - mistakes in choosing a mate aren't easily amended. :

Only six more months of this.

Only six more months of this.

 

At least we'll have baseball to watch in 2 months...even though about 85% of Soxtalk is going to be rooting for losses.

You had just better hope it isn't more like six years of this.

Nah, I still feel like Quintana gets traded in the next 10 days.

 

Hopefully six months from today, we're liking the 7-8 trades total they've made.

Not rooting...rationalizing, accepting.

Not in the least bit concerned about when Q goes. The rumors over the last two seasons said Hahn and KW were split on the direction of the team. KW and JR pushing to contend with Hahn looking to rebuild. Unfortunately the contending route didn't work so now begins a rebuild. Not "retooling on the fly" no "3 year window" nonsense, an actual rebuild. Hahn knows all eyes are on him so it looks like Hahn is being very calculated and taking his time to make sure he gets this right the first time around because there won't be a second. He knows he needs to maximize every trade. To me, this is his baby and there's no middle ground so here either comes out of this rebuild looking like a genius or looking for another job. Personally, I think Hahn will do just fine.

So far, they'e turned Duke (it started then), Sale and Eaton into Moncada, Kopech, Giolito, Lopez, Basabe, Tilson, Dunning, Diaz. Pretty good start.

This is the best thing I've ever read on here.

Amen to that, brother

Exactly. Part of my optimism for this rebuild is Hahn had very good assets to kick-start the rebuild. How many times you think Theo cursed Hendry's name the first few years of their rebuild? Hendry left nothing but devastation in his wake. Ha Ha!

 

The Sox still have assets to trade that will bring back more talent to go with the June draft and July international signings. Imagine what the farm will look like when August rolls around.

Hope your little guy took it all in stride.

My mistakes cost me a small fortune but the ONLY worthwhile return on the investment was that my son was protected quite a bit. Thanks for the sentiment.

 

Edit: You know it's a slow time in the offseason when we're talking about my personal s*** in a Quintana thread. :

I could care less who we trade Q to if it means we are getting the best package in return, even if that comes from the Cubs

 

A high profile deal like this is unlikely because if it goes wrong one team will have regret for years

 

Quintana could make sense for the Cubs due to the 4 years and relatively low cost because it would allow them to still spend on free agents moving forward

 

Replacing Arrieta (potentially and Lackey after this season is not going to be cheap. The Cubs window is right now before all their young guys get more expensive after hitting their arbitration years.

 

The Sox would want at least one interesting arm to go along with Jimenez, Happ and Candelario, but it would add Quintana without subtracting from the mlb roster at all

 

I just can't see the Sox and Cubs coming together for a deal. It makes a ton of sense logically as they are a great match on paper, but when it comes to PR and Q excelling at Wrigley while the prospects all bust or vice versa and seeing that on the local news every night can enrage your fanbase and lead to incessant questions from the media on why such a deal was made which makes both sides hesitant to make a deal. If the Sox or Cubs were in any other city I think they would have probably already made a deal.

Pirates OF Josh Bell will be out 2-4 weeks after undergoing knee surgery, and #Pirates unsure whether he'd be ready by opening day.

 

 

 

 

Tomorrow is Groundhog Day, when you keep doing the same thing over and over until you get it right. Does that sound familiar?

Wonder if this has anything to do with how the Xmas eve deal fell apart.

Doubt it considering they would have done the surgery a month ago

We have not had any indication that talks have advanced or that any deal for Quintana is close

 

Offers have been exchanged, but neither the Pirates or Astros are blinking as of yet

 

The Rangers rumor appeared to be a White Sox generated leak to stir the pot
