Chisoxfn Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 An exclusive form of a catch-all, for those Sox related quotes that truly don't deserve or behoove an individual topic: Asked Kenny Williams if the #WhiteSox are going to make any moves at MLB Meetings.

Chisoxfn Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 From Rick Hahn to the Chicago Tribune talking about this year's off-season philosophy: "Almost to a man, they (the players) volunteered that if we brought back the same unit from 2015 into 2016, they were all confident that the results would be much, much better and that we would be very much in the thick of things in 2016," Hahn said. "As I expressed to them at the time, that was pretty unlikely to happen simply because it wasn't working, and when things aren't working, you need to be proactive and find ways you can improve."

I assume this could go here. And I agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume this could go here. And I agree This makes me happy, but at the same time, other than Rodon they are the only players that will lead to a major shake up in a trade. Makes it sound like we will see much of the same as 2015 in 2016. Expect mediocre upgrades at 3rd base and maybe OF if they can get someone to take Avi...

The Sox will happily park him down in AAA or on the bench to start the year if upgrades are made elsewhere in the OF that push him out of the starting lineup. It's always nice to have a guy with his upside around. That doesn't mean they won't move him they can get someone like Lawrie for him.

Whisox05 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Rick Hahn says it's been "a busy 24 hours." The bulk of the White Sox focus has been on improving the offense. https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/673991323297447936 If there's a player the White Sox want right now and they can backload the contract past 2016, don't see why they wouldn't go after him. https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/674038536853680128 Could White Sox make another big splash this winter? They do have $28.7 million off the books from Danks and LaRoche after 2016. https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/674038473028972544 There will be raises for Sale, Quintana, Abreu, Eaton, etc. in 2017...but there will still be about $20 million off the table. https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/674038918455664641 Edited December 8, 2015 by WhiteSoxLifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see anyone giving up much for him. From the sounds of it Oakland is looking for pitching in a trade for lawrie so I doubt we would have a package built around Avi for him.
