QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 02:49 PM) Well if Hahn talks Jerry into signing Gordon or Upton, very cool. I don't see it but if you are right, they will sell a TON of season tickets now. Frazier, Lawrie, Upton/Gordon to go with Abreu on paper are some big bats for the tiny Cell. I think the Frazier deal will sell a ton of tickets just to the casual fan. If they add Upton, this lineup might be the best in the AL (on paper) & sell a lot more tickets, including from me.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 02:39 PM) Cmon SoxPride, you know better than this. We made our big free agent signing a year ago. Melky. Sox cannot afford to sign any of those three guys. I pray we sign Lexi right now and hope like heck Avi turns into mini Miggy like he was suppposed to. I highly disagree. Sox were going to offer Samardzija a huge extension before last season. Sox have 35 million coming off the books next season (LaRoche, Danks, Avila, Navarro), they can easily backload a deal to make it fit this season. Example, the SF Giants are paying Samardzija 8 million this year and 18+ after that.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 02:30 PM) I am pretty certain we are going to add another OF bat. Same. I think Upton, Gordon, Cespedes make most sense for this team in that order.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 01:41 PM) I'm not a big prospect guy, but also Danish and Michalczewski still in the system. Same. And Guerrero, Hawkins, May, Engel. All guys we are excited about that have potential.

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 01:38 PM) Danks and LaRoche come off the books. So that helps. QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 01:38 PM) Which means a fairly large backloaded deal for a FA. With Danks and Adam off the books next year, they should have cash to spend. Exactly. Much like what the Giants with Samardzija (paying him 8 million next season)

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 01:33 PM) Todd Frazier on #WhiteSox trade:I've got to be truthful to you, I'm pretty excited. Just saw the lineup on TV. It put a smile on my face.' Todd Frazier puts a smile on my face.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 01:11 PM) My reaction was what is next? I am no prospect lover, but they have to keep going if they are trying to win. They cannot stop here, or they lose the trade. If they do and fall short, whether you love Trayce, Micah, and Montas, hate them or are indifferent, it makes no sense to trade them for a guy who will be around 2 years, if you are going to be a .500 or so team. You need to do whatever you can to get into the playoffs. Now it is about spending some money. Spend it JR. Get the guy that will take you over the top, and melt the doom and gloomers like the Wicked Witch of the West. Then it is a huge White Sox win. Completely agree Dick.

Keith Law likes the deal for us.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 01:13 PM) Add Upton and our pitching staff and I'd say Chicago's best team is on the South Side I disagree with that lol. Cubs are really good, but we add Upton, we will be solid as it gets in the AL.

Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 45s45 seconds ago The #WhiteSox still looking to upgrade the lineup,GM Rick Hahn says,and could be in market for splashy free agent such as Upton or Cespedes.

Hahn just said they are not satisfied

People love prospects way too much. We still have ANDERSON AND FULMER.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:46 PM) With the number of daily mock off seasons you've done, it was bound to be close at some point Lol

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:41 PM) Offensively we've fixed quite a bit, and I also believe an improvement defensively in the infield. We still need to get one more OF to be competitive. Upton makes most sense.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:24 PM) Mission accomplished. Williams crowded out 3promising young players so Robbie and Coope don't have to deal with them. Williams got more low OBP. Another vet slugger. And we get the same horrendous outfield D as last year. Horrible trade I've been waiting for this post all day. Just wrong on all levels. Micah had no future on this team. Montas, while I think he will start, can very likely be in the bullpen, and Trayce a 4th OF, career 240 ML hitter with great defense. That's all we gave up? Ok. Sign me up.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 08:58 AM) Remember, keep this thread strictly to plans of what Sox could/should do given the current moves already. Do not stray off topic. Sign OF Justin Upton 6 years/125 million Trade OF Avail Garcia, SS Tim Anderson, SP Frankie Montas, and 2B Micah Johnson to the Reds for Todd Frazier Bold #1. This needs to happen now. Bold #2. I was close, and our deal was even better.

Upton easily.

Lol at the people not wanting to give up on Trayce. I remember most of you being excited last year when we got Samardzija and a fake account said we traded Beck and Thompson for him.

We got fricken Todd Frazier!!!!!

Holy ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watch it be Ethier or Crawford lmao

Sports Mockery suggested we trade Quintana, Avi, and Sanchez for Frazier lolol. I chewed them up.

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 08:27 AM) and that is a great reason why the FO needs a game plan..... to deal with the unexpected "what if" situation that will pop up. FO has to have back up plans. Probably 3 of them. If the price isn't right, just move on to plan B
