December 5, 201411 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 4, 2014 -> 05:49 PM) Why do you guys waste your time with that guy? He's either completely delusional or just making s*** up to get a rise out of others. bingo. See also The Score.
December 5, 201411 yr QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 4, 2014 -> 06:22 PM) That's approximately $350-400 million committed to 2 pitchers for the next 5-7 years at a combined cost of approximately $55-60 million per year. That is not going to happen. Good point Boston will also pay the salary of Lester for us. (My original post was in jest by the way as is this one).
December 5, 201411 yr Dan Hayes @CSNHayes 32m32 minutes ago Rick Hahn asked about untouchable players at GM Meetings. #WhiteSox pic.twitter.com/o40HjlVcXp We don't turn away from any conversation, but there are certainly some that are a lot shorter than others. Yes, as in when the Red Sox call about Sale, Hahn says that the package starts with Pedroia, Nava and Owens, and then the conversation is over.

December 5, 201411 yr If I understand that guy's tweets correctly, he says that 1)It happens only if the Sox get Jeff Samardjiza. 2)The Sox think they can get more for Sale than they pay for Jeff Samardjiza (no kidding - by value, it should be 8 times more; 1 v. 5 year control; Sale is a much better pitcher) 3)The Sox don't like Betts and Bogaerts but they love Henry Owens. 2) is what bothers me about these rents. Sale SHOULD bring back 8 time what you'd pay for Jeff Samardiza. But, it would be nowhere close to that. Thus, No value in trading for Samardjiza or in trading away Sale.
December 5, 201411 yr Chuck Garfien @ChuckGarfien · 48m 48 minutes ago Rick Hahn says he's had a lot of inquiries about his high-end players.

December 5, 201411 yr QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Dec 5, 2014 -> 03:02 PM) I would trade Chris Sale for David Ortiz. That dude's a really good hitter.

December 5, 201411 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 5, 2014 -> 08:53 PM) Zzzzzzzzzzzz... Do something! i am a little confuse. are you asking for Hahn to do something, like to trade Sale?

December 5, 201411 yr QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 5, 2014 -> 03:12 PM) i am a little confuse. are you asking for Hahn to do something, like to trade Sale? No. Just the tweets from people 'in the know' like Garfien, Hayes, Merkin, etc. It's getting a little old talking about what they might do. I just want to see what they actually do in the next 5-6 days. Obviously Sale won't be traded.

Obviously Sale won't be traded. whew.... i was just not sure what you meant. but i do agree. i am torn between 2 things with the tweets. i hate the simple obvious tweets that is a given. however, i do like to know what is happening. bottom line. i would prefer to know what is happening. btw thanks for answering.

December 5, 201411 yr I had a funny conversation with a lifelong dodger fan and season ticket holder yesterday who couldn't believe the Sox want either Seager or Pederson for Alexei. He was so pissed, especially when I pointed out that neither of those 2 have done s*** in the bigs yet. I got a good laugh out of it.

December 9, 201411 yr Author QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 06:54 PM) Zero chance. Zilch. Move it along. What is up with these Red Sox "writers" saying this is even remotely close to happening?
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 09:56 PM) What is up with these Red Sox "writers" saying this is even remotely close to happening? Right, and no main stream media has caught wind of this?
