QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 07:12 PM) It's a bit surprising to me we haven't heard a peep about Melky on the trade market. Has he been mentioned even once? Not that I can recall.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 06:10 PM) One thing Hahn has shown in the last 3+ years is a lot of patience. He's set a precedence with other GM's as someone who won't fold or budge much from his demands, I imagine. I'd hope so. I guess it's better than KW, who seemed to just keep on piling prospects into deals to get them done.

Wade Miley was just traded. Interesting to see what the Mariners were able to get.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 03:54 PM) He's like your dad who still uses Internet Explorer and says it's great. He probably still has an AOL account.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 03:19 PM) Unfortunately, this organization has done nothing in the last few years to warrant any kind of confidence from the fanbase. It's the fundamental flaw in my belief that I the team needs to blow this thing up. Ands that's scary to think about as well. Do we really want this FO in charge of blowing it up and evaluating the returns they get. Chances are if they can't do it with proven MLB players, how can they succeed with even riskier prospects? The organization is stuck in a rock and a hard place. It needs to happen, but more than likely they will screw it up like they have everything else.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 02:42 PM) He sounds like Jerrod Dyson at worst; Willie Wilson at best. Sorry for the two KC Royals comparisons. Glad Duke is gonzo however. Well, this is the 'give up on a guy' deal by St. Louis. Obviously trading a second round draft pick for Zach Duke means they have given up on Tilson as a top prospect. It's a good trade for the Sox as Duke is no good and it's Tilson's final chance to blossom. Avi never blossomed, but maybe Tilson will. I don't think this is a case where St. Louis gave up on him. Tilson is just 23 and in Triple-A (and doing pretty well). They Cardinals probably feel like they can afford to give up the 12th best prospect in their system and see Pham, Grichuk, and Hazelbaker as being able to contribute more to their organization.

Fulmer has no business being in the majors at this point in his career. He needs to be in the minors. This organization is pathetic.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 02:36 PM) Melky is a nice all around player. Would be a complimentary player for a team. Bruce is a run producing bat that can help put you over. Unfortunately hes not a good fielder. I would think melky would have interest. Hes been the most consistent hitter for the sox. But Bruce will more than likely cost you more to acquire.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:29 PM) Will help the noble effort in increasing the Sox draft standing. Absolutely, I'm fine with that too. I'm just saying how brutal it's going to be watching these games. I am all for bringing in another top 10 draft pick.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:22 PM) Robertson was the lone Sox reliever to not warm up before the game today. I'd be really shocked if he isn't moved to someone. And when he is, God help this bullpen... After Jones, the Sox will have a bunch of kids/scrubs commingling into tight games.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:17 PM) Why Bruce, in particular? FWIW, Bruce is in the Reds lineup for the moment. IDK. I think it is possible. This deadline has already had some pretty crazy trades with prospect value. For all we know the Dodgers have offered that to the Sox for either Q/Sale and the Sox still insisted they wanted someone off the MLB roster. If they really are asking for Betts from Boston, it wouldn't surprise me if they asked for Seager from the Dodgers. It sounds like the Sox are asking for everything + the moon in these talks. I agree they should be trying to get overpays, but no one really knows what they are trying to do or the discussions taking place.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:08 PM) Jay Bruce deal going down? That's what I was thinking.

Hard to be mad at this, Tilson appears to be a solid return. Exactly the type of player the Sox need in their system. MLB instantly placed him at #5 for the Sox in prospect rankings.

How messed up is it that Frazier and Eaton are not in the lineup and the Sox have scored 5 runs tonight.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 06:43 PM) I'll bet Gonzalez gets moved...presumably we could dump up to 4 starters...how awesome would that be? I would not be surprised to see one of Sale or Q and Gonzo get dealt. Ideally one of Shields/Gonzo is dealt. The Sox might as well capitalize on how well one of them have been pitching.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 06:03 PM) Perhaps, but blockbusters within the division though? True, it's very unlikely, but depends on the haul I guess.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 05:47 PM) I can't think of what other elite SP/RP (Not Miller) is available to warrant them moving Benintendi though. Chris Archer?

What the f*** could possibly compel Robin to bat Avi 5th?!

Certainly seems like they are running out of time. I'm still hopeful they work something out with the Red Sox and sell off some BP arms.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 10:27 PM) Thought that was RockRaines. QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 10:27 PM) Wasn't that RockRaines? And I was wrong. You both are right. Knew it was someone on here though.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 10:24 PM) Bucket- anything for us? Pretty sure Bucket told us his source dropped him in the offseason - I could be wrong.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 07:38 PM) Have they shown Frazier at all in the dugout? If he's sick with the flu, you think they might actually send him home to prevent it from spreading?
