There are a lot of assumptions on here about the health of the players.  A few of them will surely spend time on the DL, and it’s a lot better to have the depth of actual big leaguers instead of having to use the likes of Skole.

Hit the nail right on the head, fathom.  Keep stacking the roster and worry about the rest later.  When we had Sale, Q, Eaton, we had superstars, but never the depth.  Right now, we have superstars in the making with so much more depth.  Let's keep adding and diminish the depth.  Plus, I hate trading for relievers and that's what we really need outside of a platoon partner with Mazara.

His father's funeral is today so I kinda think this would happen Thursday or Friday if it happens this week.

I thought that was yesterday.

Monday & Tuesday according to Heyman.

Anyone see TA's tweet from this morning?

Just speculation but my theory (or maybe Christmas wish) is they already have an agreement in place and are just waiting till father’s funeral and giving some time to make it official (somewhat based on Hector’s comments and smoke the other day).

Yeah.  Not sure if it really means anything.  I doubt it’s about an EE signing.

He tweets phrases like that almost every day. Don’t think it means anything.

Dude... Adell would cost you Cease/Kopech and Madrigal.. McCann will net you Calhoun if he was still on their team... Just stop.

Calm down dude I'm just having some fun. I know we aren't getting Adell no matter how much they would like McCann.

okay, then stop saying it.  Let's at least keep the board semi-realistic. Otherwise it becomes trash.

I'll take Kevin Maitan from the Angels.. 

I think the Angels would be thrilled to get rid of him and actually get something of value in return

I'm not buying the report about the #WhiteSox being interested in Nicholas Castellanos at this point. They're pretty far down the road with Encarnacion and adding both doesn't really make sense.

Unless they're trying to put together a very strong lineup with depth to compete with the big boys.

Maybe Nick will won't get his dream contract and settles for a larger 1 yr prove it for a full season deal.

I agree with James.  Doesn’t make a ton of sense me.  Encarnación seems pretty much wrapped.  I do think they’ll add a platoon partner for Mazara though, but one far cheaper.  I don’t think they view Engel as a viable option and I’m guessing they prefer Leury is a true super utility role.

Who do you think they’ll get? Souza? Pence?

Maybe the bench will be McCann, Collins, Leury, and whoever the Sox get to platoon with Mazara.
