What about Kenny screams out to you that he isnt trying to call shots or at the very least have a voice in whats going on? He is constantly in the media spouting off like he is very much involved. Where did I say he wasnt involved or doesnt have a voice? My original point had nothing to do with that.

What is it about Hahn screams at you that he gave up "real GM" positions for one where he has no power? He must've know that KW wouldn't let him do anything because he's worked with him for years.

Frankly to leave the Winter meetings with the infield questions still in a complete toss up is a little disappointing. Expected...but disappointing nonetheless
December 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 05:30 PM) With that I say nothing gets done this week. This week alone isn't significant as a bench mark but we cannot be sitting idle for long. Too much needs to be done with this team and the point is trading for/acquiring the pieces while the most players are available and teams have positions needing to be filled.
December 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 05:38 PM) I predict they'll sign Freese or Desmond and call it a winter. Lol, not that I'm doubting you it's just a White Sox move to throw money at those two for maybe enough of an offensive upgrade to finish at .500
December 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (bighurt574 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 04:58 PM) Pretty big "snag" if the teams can't agree on the prospects. Isn't that the entire trade? Doesn't sound like a deal is all that close, really. Subscribe to my theory that the original story was a plant.
December 9, 201510 yr White Sox decline to address trade rumors on Brett Lawrie, obviously, while source says they continue to track 3B options. https://twitter.com/ESPNChiSox/status/674728981317464064 Have heard the White Sox are still looking at Lawrie, but he is not their only option being evaluated https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/674729319781023745 Not their only option in looking for a third baseman, to be clear https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/674729558206205952
December 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 03:40 PM) Lol, not that I'm doubting you it's just a White Sox move to throw money at those two for maybe enough of an offensive upgrade to finish at .500 I agree. Sounds like they're counting on a big turnaround from the current roster which sounds good but I will believe it when I see it. But since they have to fill the hole at 3B I figured they'd be smart enough not to trade away top prospects and just slide Saladino over to SS.
December 9, 201510 yr #WhiteSox have been linked to multiple 3B possibilities this week and it would seem that's still case, not just Brett Lawrie. https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/674734495896117248
December 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 05:42 PM) Subscribe to my theory that the original story was a plant. It's devious but kind of funny to think Oakland and the White Sox were working with each other. Like Oakland was trying to drum up interest in Lawrie and Hahn sought to lower demands on Frazier. I don't know if I'd believe it but yes.....i'll subscribe to your theory
December 9, 201510 yr Names we've heard #WhiteSox linked to for 3B this week: Brett Lawrie, Todd Frazier, Asdrubal Cabrera. https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/674736915443265537 Rick Hahn said White Sox are still exploring multiple options at third base, but says talks have become "more substantive." https://twitter.com/ChiTribKane/status/674736972485820420 Edited December 9, 201510 yr by WhiteSoxLifer

December 10, 201510 yr To be fair, the ones leaking the Lawrie news are their beat writers so if not for them, we would know nothing of this deal.

December 10, 201510 yr What a dud of a Winter meetings for White Sox fans. Hopefully they will make some moves soon. Get some buzz going.

As I posted on another thread the winter meetings have been as depressing as the regular season. Tough to be excited about this team.

December 10, 201510 yr Oakland’s proposed trade with the White Sox was on hold on Wednesday as other teams tried to jump in on the action. In the end, though, infielder Brett Lawrie is still likely to go to Chicago in exchange for minor-leaguers. The framework of a deal between the teams is believed to be in place, but the White Sox were exploring other options, too, including Reds third baseman Todd Frazier. And in the meantime, at least one other American League club began discussing Lawrie again internally. Slusser posted that first Edited December 10, 201510 yr by Buehrle>Wood
