Barstool is such a non-source anymore

His Quintana beat last week suggests otherwise

I saw that. Seems reasonable and disappointing, so may be accurate.

 

If just for Frazier that would be great

Sam Travis is NOT in AAA lineup tonight. #WhiteSox

 

This likely has nothing to do with a Frazier trade, but you never know.

When I saw "the money works (with regards to a Frazier/DRob trade)" I was really afraid that Panda snuck his way into the deal.

 

Honestly, if something like that happened, it wouldn't surprise me if the Sox did so just to take on extra prospects with Boston kicking in cash and the Sox just releasing him, but I think that was me overthinking.

Yup, now I'm going to be dissapointed when the real return is announced.

Just got demoted today, would be shocking if he was in lineup

URGGGGGG!!! This wait is going to suck - I live in LA county so I can't even watch the damned game... good ol' Time Warner dodgers tv deal ?

Right now, he's leaning over the dugout fence, watching Jose Abreu's at-bat.

 

I want to know when he has some gum.

Yeah, me neither...blacked out in Vegas

woooo LA county

Your pain is felt, brother. #empathy

They wouldn't have scratched him without having a deal in place, would they?

He's been scuffling as of late and is facing Kershaw. All we really have to go on is Bruce Levine, who knows nothing.

You don't do it if it's not close. It'll be done soon

Sure but they must have felt they were close

They wouldn't have scratched him without having a deal in place, would they?

Could be that a deal is close, and the Sox do not want to run the risk of him getting injured. There is definitely something up. You don't just scratched a player last minute unless there is an injury or trade in the works (or you cut up your jerseys), and Frazier does not appear to be injured.

My guess is that they're waiting until the game is over to announce it. ( What do I know thou ).

?

I feel like I am waiting for the scene in Swordfish where Halle Berry unclips her top...

He was in the lineup an hour before the game batting 4th, so there must have been something for him to be "pulled". That could have been a personal thing - blowup behind the scenes or something like that, but nearly ready to be traded is most likely. If a guy is scuffling and you're giving him the day off you don't pull him an hour beforehand, you tell him the day before so he goes and gets some extra rest and isn't getting himself up for the game during BP.

Lol...now there is an analogy!

So you scratch him late because you *just* realized he's scuffling? I doubt it. He won't be on the White Sox in 24 hours

You must be expecting a better outcome than most of us.

The White Sox themselves said he was a healthy scratch, and given that he's still in the building, he probably didn't cut up any jerseys.

 

It's close, but there's nothing official or agreed upon yet.
