Rookie move by the rookie. Gotta keep Shields on a short leash here.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 08:22 PM) Weird isn't it? I'm guessing he's hurt. Doesn't seem like a big piece unless it's somehow with Q for Mocada+ That's what I was thinking, he's a replacement or throw-in. But we're probably just overthinking it.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 08:13 PM) Injury? Gameday didn't say. It was a defensive substitution and then they shuffled Peter and Muno around.

Posted this over in the Trade Winds forums as well, but Sanchez was pulled early in the bottom of the 3rd for Delmonico. Anyone got any ideas the reason behind that? Seems odd to pull him so early. #HugWatch?

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 08:06 PM) Robertson? He has two and half years of control right? Correct.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 06:15 PM) The White Sox are caught in hell as they have what everyone wants, starting pitching. They have enough to win a world series. They just can't figure out how to get hitting and defense to help that out. Their bullpen is too mediocre to win anything. Even with Putnam and Petricka they imploded.

Well, here's hoping he at least can pull off a QS against the Cubs. That should let teams realize he still has something in the tank against their deadly lineup.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 03:09 PM) #Padres making progress on trade involving Andrew Cashner, sources say. He may be dealt before start tonight in Toronto. https://twitter.com/jonmorosi/status/758030626922659840 Will be interesting to see who gives up what for him. Hopefully not a team in the Sale/Q sweepstakes.

The more I think about this, the more I have to wonder... What the hell is Sale going to do when the Sox blow it up at the deadline and he isn't moved? Is he going to burn down U.S. Cellular because he won't be able to win on an even s***tier club?

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 10:34 PM) Robin to sit Saladino tomorrow. You can take that to the bank. Haha, you know it. Stupid is as stupid does.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 10:09 PM) Albers doesn't belong in the big leagues. Our only hope is they only get one run and we push across a run like we did twice late vs. Detroit. What chokers we root for. He needs to be DFA'd. It's long overdue. Hell, give Goldberg a shot. He'd at the very least match what Albers is currently capable of.

Good, get something for him.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 08:08 PM) What about adding Robertson with Q though? That should max out the deal even more. I'm not so sure. I know there's been talk of a mega deal with the Red Sox, but you would think adding in Robertson's contract would hurt Q's value if they were paired together. Part of what makes Q so valuable is not just his skill set but his team-friendly deal.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 22, 2016 -> 06:56 PM) That's the type of return they need to get. That's why he's not going anywhere. I agree. I am very much against moving him unless a player such as Correra comes back in return. That contract is insanely valuable and should drive the asking price up IMO.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 22, 2016 -> 06:51 PM) @aycockonxion According to a source, the White Sox have told the Astros that Sale is only available if they include Correa. LOL yup I would be very surprised if he goes anywhere.

Ah crap, I actually like Lawrie. Really hope out of everyone on the team he's one they'd hang onto.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 21, 2016 -> 05:15 PM) Really think Sale will stay and Q goes. Same here. Sox keep Sale and Rodon with Fulmer as the future rotation guy. Q can easily net you a very good haul of 2-3 prospects. The rest of the league knows he's good even if the general public do not. Frazier, Cabrera, and Robertson should be moved as well if the deals are there. I would try to keep Eaton and Lawrie unless absolutely blown away. As mediocre as Lawrie can be, he's been the most productive 2B in a Sox uniform since Iguchi.

Might be a fit there... Guess it depends on how desperate they are and if the Sox are at least smart enough to listen.

Is Jacob May hurt again or has he really been regulated to Charlotte's 4th/5th OF'er? Find it odd that he would get benched for 5 consecutive games instead of one of the other fillers they have on the team.

Always found Carroll to be a feel good story and fun clubhouse character. Too bad he's a AAAA player.

Even after last night, I still think Robertson is in the upper echelon of closers. Is he overpaid? Absolutely. But it was a necessity the Sox needed at the time and it still is. If you remove last night's game and the game against KC he has elite numbers on the year. Closers make mistakes that can easily be amplified when the rest of the team is struggling.

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 11:30 AM) voted sell but limited sell. 2017 is their last chip at the craps table. I agree with this. Sell a few pieces but don't go crazy. I'd start by firing Robin. Then trade guys like Robertson and Fraizer - granted losing both will kill the team but you technically could replace both of them with in house options (though it would most definitely be risky moves to gamble on them). Those guys won't bring in a lot but they do have some value to some contending teams. Personally, I think Fraizer would be a nice piece for the Mets at 3B, and there are always teams looking for a solid closer. Hell, call the Cubs and say we have a much CHEAPER option for you than Chapman/Miller.

Good read. Talk about OF overload in Charlotte. I don't think I've ever seen that many active outfielders on any professional roster before. Anyone get the feeling that his comments about trying new things from different people was aimed at Stevenson? Honestly wouldn't be surprised given how bad and slump-prone the Sox hitting has been since he's been here.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 04:09 PM) He will have a job the rest of this season also. In fact, they will keep him around and continue to add and not subtract to this roster. Apparently being 4+ games out of a wildcard spot and getting their butts kicked by two of the worst teams in baseball isn't enough for them to waive the white flag. I'm convinced Rick Hahn and KW are delusional. Keep retooling this roster, dudes-- it will solve all of the problems! For all we know Hahn wants to sell and JR won't let him. The organization is a mess regardless of whose most incompetent.
