Buehrle>Wood Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Is this the quietest the rumor mill involving the Sox you can ever remember, buying or selling? Certainly is more me We haven't been linked to one player and were just 27 hours away from the deadline. Incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 It has been quieter ever since Ozzie went away. The Guillen family had extremely loose lips. The perception is Robin doesn't and I think Hahn and Kenny work hard to keep things tight. I also think we probably just got into the buyer's market so probably aren't as far along as other teams.

Baron Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Like I said yesterday the year we acquired Peavy we didnt hear anything the entire week. Then bam right before the deadline we had him. Kenny even said probably nothing will happen. Edited July 30, 2015 by Baron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly is more me We haven't been linked to one player and were just 27 hours away from the deadline. Incredible. Maybe in 05' when the only move we made was adding Geoff Blum. Either were working on something big, or not going to make a significant move. Reports of a rift in the FO makes me worry we don't know what direction to go at the deadline and that's why we're so quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Zelig Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Were there any rumors about the moves the Sox made this offseason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) I like it honestly. Those loose lips cost us Miggy right? Edited July 30, 2015 by SouthSideSale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samardzija's rumor felt like a month long. No rumors on Melky, Bonifacio, or Robertson though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I think some has to do with lately this regime has had less rumors floating around, but I also think that the notion that the Sox went from Sellers, or at least Stay-Putters, to Buyers in about a week has something to do with it. A lot of rumors of conversations, etc., are floated by front offices to put other teams on alert, etc... basically tactics. Sox are so late to those party and probably internally and externally weren't going to be buyers, so no time for kicking tires etc., if they buy, they're diving in pretty quickly.

Frank_Thomas Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Not only is it quiet for us but SD has been awful quiet themselves. I would like to match up with them for a SP and someone like Kemp. If we can get Cashner or Ross plus kemp for a group of prospects and Danks (only to offset some $) I would be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) What do we need? Another starter? I could see Danks being used as trade bait but he most likely wouldn't bring back much. He has done a decent job for us but that salary would be a drag. We would be sitting real strong with who we have if Avisail would pick it up.

Dick Allen Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I think the biggest reason it is quiet is because the Sox weren't exactly in buy mode a couple of days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
