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

Picking up Diaz would be beneficial too

They used incarceratedbob as a source. He's wrong all the time. He got Dwight Howard being traded wrong 3 times.

QUOTE (GermanSoxFan @ Dec 16, 2016 -> 04:48 PM) Albies as the headliner for Q would make me livid. IMO his absolute ceiling is Alcides Escobar.. There is not much upside in his bat and we all know the Sox need those kind of bats badly. Seriously that's your ceiling for Albies?

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Dec 14, 2016 -> 12:32 PM) I have season tickets to the Express. Gallo is trash. The shift against him is ridiculous and he strikes out a ton. He's even a timid first baseman when there are close plays at the bag. Oh cool didnt know there was another person who got to see the Express on here. Yeah Gallo was awful.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 14, 2016 -> 12:04 PM) Up to $8 million for Holland of all people? Ugh. I was hoping it'd be half that. Cashner got 10 million after last season...that's the pitching market

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 01:13 PM) Why is that the problem? They have plenty of prospect depth from which to trade from. I think he's hesitant to pull that trigger again. He really doesnt like trading prospects.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 12:54 PM) He gave up like 5 good prospects for Ken Giles. And Ken Giles isn't taht good. That's the problem

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 12:02 PM) He gave up a huge package for Giles, he'll eventually give up some prospects for a TOR starter. I think he's just playing hardball hoping the price drops a bit on Quintana or another target. The problem for him is there is no other target. Atleast one not as openly available as Q.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 11:52 AM) That is a really fair asking price I feel like. The Sox won't trade Quintana for less than that, and Houston can certainly afford to deal Musgove/Martes/Tucker in exchange for four years of prime Q Sidenote: We would have unrivaled prospect pitching depth in the mlb if that deal were to happen I would take Musgrove out if they added others in. But Martes and Tucker have to be in there.

Luhnow is a prospect hoarder. I dont see a trade going down with the Astros.

That package is absolutely fine. Plus your getting someone to replace Q in the starting rotation because Martes might not be ready to go. I bet Musgrove is the hang up in that deal.

That's extremely reasonable

So why are people up in arms with the Astros? I read that guys Twitter...it looks like he's just saying Major League players. He was including Martes in his trade proposals.

Cubs fans are so salty right now

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 08:47 PM) Especially when Hahn is playing the role of Robert De Niro JR kind of looks like Paulie

QUOTE (Ro Da Don @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 08:44 PM) Astros: We want elite starting pitching White Sox: We have Sale and Quintana, here's the price... Astros: Nah too steep White Sox: F*** you, pay me Pony up already Houston! Goodfellas method of doing business always works

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 08:35 PM) The Astros have discussed a Jose Quintana deal with the White Sox but as of now find the price too steep. -- Jake Kaplan https://t.co/p43H4IqisC That's posturing for sure

We'll see. Sounds like there's alot of smoke involving these two teams.

No. Especially with Q. This is the offseason to trade him. Not next offseason.
