If they were truly trying to get Snell, what do you really think it would take?

Is Snell available or is this speculation, his deal seems like the type the Rays would hold on to for at least 3 years 

Even more entertaining than the rumors themselves are the wild conclusions people jump to based on very vague info.

All I am saying is that it would be pretty hilarious if Snell was traded for a package centered around a slapdick hitter like Madrigal.

DH Eloy with an outfield of Mazara / Robert / Benintendi.

The Sox aren't move just turned 23 year old Eloy Jimenez to full time DH.  Sounds good on paper, but its not going to happen.  

Complain away.

Agreed, but they should.  He’s a misplayed ball / injury waiting to happen in LF.

I don't really disagree, but I do think he can improve, and he definitely improved as the season went on.  With Abreu in tow for 3 more seasons at least, Eloy is going to have to play LF the majority of that time.  Maybe that calculus changes a bit if they move Vaughn this offseason.

Vaughn/Dahlquist/Thompson.......hmm

As frustrating as this is, I love these rumors lol. I’m all for exciting ideas. Trying to stay positive a creative trade is coming that’ll get us excited

My first impression to this was, duh, of course there's interest in Vaughn and Madrigal.  But I wonder if Hahn is referring to Dalquist and Thompson here.

I don't think we have the pieces.  We are in the strange position of having very good top 50 guys like you mention and very thin after that.  Guys like Walker was are not much to bait the hook with and Kopech, Madrigal, Robert and Vaugh types are more valuable to us and our needs.  Madrigal & Vaughn plus would be similar to the fleecing we gave the Cubs for Q.  Our best trade affordable trade chips are probably McCann, Fry, Fuller and Rodon... maybe Colome.  I would part with Vaugh + a couple of names I mentioned.  That wouldn't be enough to get it done IMO.

All three of these guys should hit commodities.

I guess I am excited at the potential to add Price and another lefty bat like Benintendi who provides some more if that sweet juicy OBP nectar that we need.  ?

Somebody needs to shut down whatever trade this is, I'm sure it's terrible.

IMO it’s too early in Eloy’s career to turn him into a full time DH. Renteria says he’s been working on his outfield defense. Let’s see if he can improve. 

Man I don’t want to see any more prospects traded. I guess I’ve accepted the fact that the White Sox will not compete next year so I don’t want to give away young talent for nothing. Let’s hope for breakout years from our youngsters and wait for 2021. I know it’s harder to draw free agents if we’re not in the playoff picture, but I don’t think we’ll get a difference maker if we don’t give up premium talent.

I really don’t get why Hahn shared this.  It goes against everything he said a few weeks ago.

To be fair, Hahn said no one cares about free agent labor; people love the labor of a trade!

To show Sox fans that they are trying, so we aren’t all disappointed when they ultimately fail to sign any of the top free agent starting pitchers available.

Here is a thought...shut the fuck up Rick and just do your job better!!

I think this is accurate but man it feels like hahn gets really excited. Remember how the night they acquired rutherford he was so defiant about bringing up Moncada...like "rebuilds arrived man".

He loves this stuff. I don't blame him at all, that's why his job is awesome, but he really isn't as disciplined as he believes. Heart of hearts that dude wants to grab Chuck's microphone and shout "I NEARLY TRADED FOR GARY SANCHEZ ONCE!"

Deflecting all the b****ing about Mazara.

Maybe Hahn is torturing the guy who leaks to Peggy's son and this is a part of it.
