December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:50 PM) Haven't seen any reaction from RV...he's with the group in SD? This was when they told Robin and this is his reaction
December 9, 201411 yr FYI Boers and Bernstein said they're expecting to talk to Samardzija at some point today.
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (Knuckles @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:39 PM) Do not underestimate Samardzija's loyalty to the White Sox. He will be here for a while. Book it. Yep. I've got him pegged for an extension.
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 07:23 PM) Yep. I've got him pegged for an extension. woo doggy.
December 9, 201411 yr Dan Hayes @CSNHayes 12m12 minutes ago Samardzija said he's been adamant about being a free agent. Also says if it's right it's right. If right numbers are there, extension poss.

December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 02:23 PM) Yep. I've got him pegged for an extension. NICE! Keeping Sale, Shark, Q, and Rodon at the top of that rotation for a while would be pretty unbelievable give where this team was in 2013.
December 9, 201411 yr "Athletics trade Samardzija to White Sox." "Pitcher Michael Ynoa also traded to Cubs." Lol SportsCenter.

December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:33 PM) Shouldn't he get whatever Shields gets this year? Or something similar. He should get even more since he's 3 years younger and just as good at this point.
December 9, 201411 yr Jim Callis @jimcallisMLB 30s30 seconds ago I like Semien, don't love the trade for @Athletics. @FlavourDigital: Is Semien that good? Or is 1 year of The Shark not valued that highly? I think generally consensus is the Sox "won" this trade. I think people will be harsh on this package because it doesn't have star potential, but I believe the guys going back to the A's will contribute at minimal cost. Which is exactly what Beane seems to be looking for in Oakland on his limited payroll. Though I am not going to lie I am thrilled the Sox were able to complete this deal without having to include Anderson, Montas, Hawkins, Danish, Adams, etc etc. You could argue that Ynoa has the highest ceiling of any of the prospect in the deal.
December 9, 201411 yr http://grantland.com/the-triangle/white-so...eff-samardzija/ Can't stand seeing "above average inning's eater" on the Q part, while waxing poetic on Samardjiza.
December 9, 201411 yr Scott Merkin @scottmerkin 15m15 minutes ago Samardzija wants to hit a HR in Interleague games so Hawk can make the call on his blast

December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 02:01 PM) Quintana > Samardzija. All day everyday. And hooray that we have both. Man, Ynoa just makes this the icing on the cake.
December 9, 201411 yr The Sox didn't give up anything really special; but they shouldn't for 1 year of a player. They also didn't give up a bunch of chumps either. Ravelo is a high OBP guy that will be able to play 1B for some teams (who have power elsewhere). Semien is a nice infielder. Bassit was really improving. I wouldn't have done this deal for 1 year of Shark. But they've certainly done worse trades. The pitcher they got back is the type they've been loading up on - high K, but no control.

December 9, 201411 yr I want to be excited but I am a bit troubled by him moving from the NL, and a pitchers haven to the Cell....
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (woods of ypres @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 02:30 PM) I want to be excited but I am a bit troubled by him moving from the NL, and a pitchers haven to the Cell.... The stuff will play just fine. Samardzija is a really good pitcher.
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 07:39 PM) Samardzija on the score around 2:15 Nothing too interesting. He did say he doesn't want to negotiate just yet, as he'd rather get familiar with the organization and vice versa.
December 9, 201411 yr I liked the shark interview that just finished. This dude's here forever unless we tank. So 5-6 yrs of Shark & Ynoa for the package we gave up is just fine with me.
