February 13, 20179 yr Haven't had a chance to read yet but figured I'd share. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/02/whit...rebuild-qa.html
February 13, 20179 yr Interesting to see that the number was put at 4 more deals they want to make. Q, Robertson for sure. Frazier was one we saw a lot of rumors about. Who was #4? Abreu? Cabrera?

February 13, 20179 yr Wow, two deals fell through at the ownership approval stage...wonder what deals those were?
February 13, 20179 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Feb 13, 2017 -> 03:19 PM) Wow, two deals fell through at the ownership approval stage...wonder what deals those were? My guess is Washington For Robertson due to money and Q /Cutch/NY due to who the f*** knows.
February 13, 20179 yr QUOTE (hi8is @ Feb 13, 2017 -> 05:35 PM) My guess is Washington For Robertson due to money and Q /Cutch/NY due to who the f*** knows. Yeah, that seems to make sense to me. I could have seen the PIT/NYY three way also falling apart due to money.
February 14, 20179 yr If 2 trades came down to money then im not going to lie that is a little frustrating

February 14, 20179 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 13, 2017 -> 06:22 PM) I'd imagine Q, Robertson, Frazier and Jones. I'd say Melky over Jones. Honestly, I don't they are very motivated to move Jones right now, they probably figure he can greatly improve his value with some closing experience.

For me, Jones is the bridge to Burdi as the closer in the next (and long overdue) competitive Sox team. Trade Robertson now, hopefully for a return consistent with what we've seen thus far in the rebuild, and then hope Jones plays well enough to bring back another quality return in July. By then Burdi may be ready to step in and take over.
February 14, 20179 yr This is a complete side note but have found it funny ever since the winter meetings. What is up with RH always saying "if we had our druthers..."? It's got to be the fourth or fifth time I have heard him use it since the Eaton deal. Can he come up with something new? It's getting to the point where it's a tad bit annoying for me.

It's getting to the point where it's a tad bit annoying for me. lol I was thinking the same thing. I feel like they are a pair of khakis or something and he should just go out and buy some "druthers" so he can have them and we can resume making trades.

Major Lols is different from General Soreness, who we know to be '08 Ken Griffey Jr. riding in a tank Edited February 14, 20179 yr by Jose Paniagua
February 14, 20179 yr That was also the best catching question I've seen thrown at Hahn, great interview by Ballantini.
