Dodgers get Grandal, two pitchers send Kemp to Padres.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 01:41 PM) So my ticket hookup only has 2 seats and I need four badly for the 23rd of Dec. 300 level interest you? I can inquire with a friend

Do not underestimate Samardzija's loyalty to the White Sox. He will be here for a while. Book it.

@MartinoNYDN 3m3 minutes ago Not only Are #WhiteSox getting Samardzija, source confirms, but theyre not done making moves. All in.

Rosenthal Source: #WhiteSox will continue pursuing Robertson even if they get Samardzija.

TWITTER WATCH @danish_Tyler7 47s47 seconds ago What an exciting day for the South Side!

Someone on my facebook claims Corey Crawford stepped on her head during the concert and that's how he injured himself. Anyway great game last night, scored some sick seats, SEC113 ROW 6. What an amazing view.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 30, 2014 -> 01:51 AM) I talked to Samardzija's cousin tonight, but he doesn't seem to have any info. All he really gave me a glimpse in to was that Jeff may take an extension for less than market value if it means he gets to stay near home and play for his childhood team. But he's just speculating. Maybe an extension of 5 yrs/$90M works instead of 5 yrs/$105M or something. Without getting into the numbers I bet thisi is what Sox are counting on. That's why I think he will eventually end up here.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 06:10 PM) Why are acquiring a pitcher, on a one year deal, in order to compete this year, and building for the future, mutually exclusive? Unless the Sox have to give up part of their core, going forward, in order to obtain their RH starter, how would they be jeopardizing their future? When Samardjiza turns down a qualifying offer, the Sox could simply take the draft pick, and use the money available then, to acquire another pitcher, if needed. I'm sorry, but I just don't see the inherent conflict between that strategy, and not jeopardizing the future. Please enlighten me, if I'm missing something. Thank you. Neither is aquiring LaRoche defining Sox as WIN NOW mode.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 04:18 PM) What would the Sox be giving up? Nobody knows, it's all speculation, both Anderson and Siemen have been mentioned but that's it.

@scottmerkin·1 min1 minute ago Could end up being a one year acquisition. Could end up influencing the return. Could not happen all together. Situation is fluid

Merkin now says White Sox would try to extend Shark before dealing for him.

@JonHeymanCBS·47s47 seconds ago samardzija back in middle of trade talk. chisox among those in. could ss prospect tim anderson work? http://cbsprt.co/1y3uByf

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 01:43 PM) Just getting here, can someone please repost this Tim Anderson tweet everyone's talking about? Digging through the thread but can't find it and don't know how far to go back. It was couple of sad smiley faces.

Rick Hahn will not trade a promising SS Anderson for one year of Samardijza. Relax.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 12:56 PM) I'm beginning to think Shark was the person Hahn was referring to about trying to get at the deadline. I know I mentioned it towards end of last season, but Hawk sure made a lot of references to Shark being on the Sox in the future. Grew up a Sox fan, I hated him on the Cubs, but I think this guy is a legit third starter.

QUOTE (Jake @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 12:48 PM) All I'm saying re: Shark is you're going to be forced into paying in talent and dollars as if those WAR figures are 6-7 each year when in fact he's relatively unproven as a front-of-the-rotation starter. His talent is the main thing garnering him this attention. Jose Quintana has been a better pitcher at least each of the past two years and I bet Billy Beane is asking for him in return Then you hang up the phone.

QUOTE (Butter Parque @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 12:32 PM) Please don't make this happen. We're just starting to build the farm system back to a respectable level... Thought it's about winning championships...

Whataburger, Twisted Root, Hopdoddys.

CSNHayes·11 mins11 minutes ago Robin Ventura said he sees Adam LaRoche as the No. 4 hitter bewteen Abreu and A. Garcia. Likes that move allows Gillaspie to drop to 6th.

‏@ChuckGarfien·2 mins2 minutes ago Abreu remains #WhiteSox starting first baseman. LaRoche will be DH but will play 1B about 2 times a week to keep both players fresh

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 24, 2014 -> 03:26 AM) I assume you mean decking Unser? I think he means evading the police, the chase, stolen vehicle etc.
