No way on Quintana. That would be a huge overpay unless there's something else significant involved.

 

Hell, Santiago is a huge overpay for Eaton. Not excited about this at all.

 

Eaton is an extremely marginal upgrade. WTF.

 

Uribe? Wake me up from this nightmare.

The #Whitesox, #Dbacks and #angels are saying they are now optimistic they will consummate their 3-way trade

 

Well, let's just hope there's someone else coming back to the Sox besides Eaton

As @SteveGilbertMLB said, Dbacks would get two prospects in this proposed trade. I'm told one from Angels, one from White Sox.

Juan Uribe makes little sense for #whitesox. Not happening. #WinterMeetings

This is just strange

I like the move as long as it's contingent upon trading away Kep. Also like the move to get Eaton. Getting on base should be the primary focus this off-season. If he can get on at a good clip ahead of Avi and Abreu, I'd feel a little better about our offense.

If we sign Uribe, we will turn Keppinger back to Tampa for that LH hitting catcher (name escapes me). We will platoon Uribe and Gillaspie at 3B, be able to spot Juan at SS and 2B when needed. It would be a good acquisition because of his defense and the flexibility he brings.

 

This sounds pretty feasible to me, though I think we would get something back more than just Lobatoton, at least I hope. He just doesn't do it for me at catcher.

 

Also I'm petty sure I read someone's post where we are linked to John Buck who I would love to get to platoon with our underachievers. A lot more than Jose Labotan. Though I don't know if buck is a Fa or would require a trade.

Proposed deal would include Trumbo + 2 prospects to #DBacks, Skaggs + Santiago to #Angels, Kendrick + Eaton to #WhiteSox. Not done.

I really don't get this. I think giving up a young lefty with good stuff is just enough to get yourself a young leadoff hitter without a track record in the majors, but promising minor league numbers. Why should we include a prospect?

Me likey if Kendrick is in the deal

So one guy is saying there's an offer to Uribe and others are saying no way. Unless someone is being shipped out, I'd tend to think there's not an offer.

Definitely like it much more if Kendrick is in the deal

That's not bad.

Sox mustve just fed that Quintana stuff to Levine to make fans breathe easy when it eventually goes thru for Santiago

Our beat writers say no chance, national guys say maybe, Mexican dude says yes. At least we will start to see how RH uses the media.

Not really, there's been one guy running with this Uribe to the White Sox thing and people have been retweeting him. Like I said, I think it's agent driven info to try and get LA to commit a 2nd year to Uribe.

You don't know everything that's coming back, nor the "prospect" involved. Nothing is dumb yet.

So if Sox do get Kendrick who gets traded Beckham or Alexei?

That's amazing

Beckham, possibly to the Braves or Reds (if they trade Phillips). Just pure guesses on my part

That would be a hell of a deal for us. Really everyone. Wonder what we do with Gordo. Anyone know what we could target from Toronto??

Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 1m

 

Those rumors first reported by @keithlaw. That's not necessarily the deal, that's all the pieces involved.

Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 34s

 

Kendrick has been discussed, per @BillShaikin. His inclusion is something #WhiteSox want.

If it goes like previous deals, it will only be Eaton (or low-level minor leaguers), and we'll debate for 30 minutes about who else is included only to find out it's no one we've heard of.
