Waiting until the deadline is dangerous. What if Glasnow is pitching? What if Martes is pitching for the Astros? They probably wont want to move those guys if they are contributing to the team. Then your screwed. Look at the free agent list next offseason plus with the change in compensation. I'd tell the White Sox to screw themselves with that asking price with the free agent market becoming much more friendly.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 08:26 PM) Yeah, they can. Not without a mutiny. They took him out of high school and have a ton of hours developing him. It's not happening. What they get in this offseason is the best it's going to get. So they have to evaluate if that's enough.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 08:21 PM) Guys if Meadows was already on the table Q would be a pirate. If they want Meadows they wont get him. Pirates cant trade him.

Who the hell is Sean Sears?

Merkin thinks Tucker wont be included. But Dave's trade makes no sense with Fisher and Tucker included.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 02:57 PM) Come crawling back. You should have paid up the first time, now Hahn should ask for even more. LOL

Starting to get alot warmer

Rosenthal had something on Ross just below the Q stuff. He's visiting the Rangers and is considering several other teams. But he may not be ready for opening day. I think that might be an issue.

Hammel would make a ton of sense then

There was a Yankees column on MLB.com this morning. I believe it was an Exec or Scout that said the chances of Q getting traded by Spring Training were 50-50. But it was another refuting of the Yankees interest articles.

What happened to Joe West deserves a suspension?

The price you get for these players at the deadline with only months of the contract left will probably be lower than previous years. However, it would still be a smart investment.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 25, 2016 -> 02:07 PM) Hahn will take his time in getting the right haul for their final blue chip trade piece I doubt they'll get it once the season starts if he's still here.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 25, 2016 -> 01:46 PM) Couldn't disagree more. It's all speculation dude. Half a year of Samdazjiezyeahhh got the top SS prospect in the game, the number four prospect in baseball at the time. No one knows what we could get now, or at the deadline, or next year, or in three years. Only thing that isn't speculative is this: if Quintana keeps pitching the way he has - he'all always be in demand and will always command a haul. Except the free agent market is a little more saturated with pitchers next year plus the changes in team compensation probably decreases the chances he would get traded next offseason if he's still around. The Trade Deadline probably wouldnt happen either. Alot of these guys they are probably asking for will be playing. We've already seen how hesitant teams are to trade players that are contributing on the club in the middle of the season. So the previous post was correct. They need to trade him now if they actually want to.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 12:03 PM) Rick Hahn, in Washington, with the Right Fielder. Glad someone replied

Lets not bicker and argue about who killed who

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 05:16 PM) Better include Bell and Newman then That's who I'm assuming is in the deal

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 05:07 PM) Heyman on MLB tonight right now. Says Glasgow plus others would have to go to the Sox, but not Meadows or Keller. So nothing new or dramatic. Fine with me

It'll probably be harder to deal him at the deadline. Right now your asking about guys not currently playing in MLB. But some might be come the trade deadline.

QUOTE (ozzfest @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 06:27 PM) I don't think this is a genuine effort to rebuild. I believe they just got rid of the guys that management didnt get along with. The same thing happened with the Bulls. They didnt like Thibs the day he started and he still got a contract extension

QUOTE (ozzfest @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 06:20 PM) They aren't going to deal Q. The roster isn't going to be dramatically different aside from Robertson gone. That's how Reinsdorf does things. Uh....huh?

Pirate fans are just looking for anything to happen right now and I dont blame them. They are hamstrung by their owners.

Check out this post on the Astros forum "Also, right now there isn't any competition to him" http://bbs.clutchfans.net/index.php?thread....279088/page-19 Gave me a good laugh. Does this guy honestly think rumors being leaked mean no one is interested?

But seriously they should ask for Diaz. One of the better catching prospects.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 09:49 AM) We recently acquired a Diaz (Victor), then immediately released another Diaz (Carlos). So the team is already at Diaz quota. There can be only one. It's better to burn out than to fade away
