QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 28, 2015 -> 10:43 AM) ^^^ I could live with that, although the Avi trade really doesn't make any sense from the Sox perspective. They don't need another lefty pitcher, especially one coming off TJ surgery. He might be a lefty, but he still has back end of the rotation potential. If anything, maybe he could be a valuable man out of the pen. QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 28, 2015 -> 10:44 AM) I wouldn't trade Putnam for a guy who's just going to be on the bench. He has a pretty solid arm and trading him for a bench guy I feel would be selling low. Especially when teams put a lot of stock on good bullpens now, Dietrich could very well play 2B instead of Sanchez. Dietrich is a poor man's Ben Zobrist, imo. He did hit pretty well last year, so it's not like he would be strictly on the bench QUOTE (scs787 @ Nov 28, 2015 -> 10:46 AM) If you're looking for a 2nd basemen to bat 2nd, I'd rather have Howie Kendrick. I do still have some blind faith in Avi for some reason, but I get trading him. Howie Kendrick has a draft pick attached to him, he's out of the question.

Sign 2B/SS Asdrubal Cabrera 2 years/20 million Trade SP Chris Beck and SP Brandon Brennan to the A's for 3B Brett Lawrie Trade 1B Adam LaRoche (Balances the money), SP Frankie Montas, SP Myles Jaye, and OF Adam Engel to the Rockies for OF Carlos Gonzalez and 1B Corelle Prime Trade RF Avisail Garcia to the Phillies for SP Jesse Biddle Trade RP Zach Putnam and SP Thad Lowry for UTIL Derek Dietrich CF Adam Eaton (L) 2B Asdrubal Cabrera (S) 1B Jose Abreu LF Carlos Gonzalez (L) 3B Brett Lawrie DH Melky Cabrera (S) RF Trayce Thompson C Alex Avila (L) SS Tyler Saladino OF J.B Shuck, C Tyler Flowers, 1B/3B Mike Olt, UTIL Derek Dietrich SP Chris Sale (L) SP Jose Quintana (L) SP Carlos Rodon (L) SP Erik Johnson SP John Danks (L) RP Jacob Turner (long man) RP Jake Petricka RP Dan Jennings (L) RP Tommy Kahnle RP Zach Duke (L) RP Nate Jones CP David Robertson Thoughts?

QUOTE (whtsoxfan @ Nov 27, 2015 -> 08:00 PM) Bluejays sign J.A. Happ http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/11/blue...n-j-a-happ.html ew

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 27, 2015 -> 08:12 PM) seriously, the hawks got robbed. how can duncan keith and keith seabs not be given stars for the game. the minutes on ices plus the hits, plus shot on goal and the points???? Who cares who the stars were? They won the game.

We complain about MLB umpires a lot, but NFL and NBA refs are beyond horrid. Mirotic just got called for fouling Paul George by not even touching him.

Acquiring Lawrie and signing Asdrubal Cabrera would be solid additions. Could play Cabrera at 2B or SS and have Saladino and Sanchez platoon

LOL the Ducks suck.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 26, 2015 -> 12:23 PM) I mean a swap of Beck or Saladino I'd think about it at least. He just doesn't warrant a package of even low potential prospects. I agree. I think a Beck and Wheeler package could get it done. Remember, he also plays 2B as well.

Dano and Daley have been real good tonight.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Nov 24, 2015 -> 11:47 AM) Yeah, they're legit. If they can keep this core together (Alli, Kane, Dier, Eriksen, Lloris) for a few years I think they could challenge for the Prem. PSG is already sniffing around Alli though, Man U wants Kane and several Italian clubs are chasing Eriksen so it will be a tall order. They have a few kids coming up too (Onomah, Pritchard, Carter-Vickers) and are moving to a state of the art building that should help with revenue too. Things are looking pretty bright at that club. Hopefully they can keep those guys and realize what they could build at Tottenham.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Nov 25, 2015 -> 01:52 PM) He's kind of a mess defensively but he sure did hit last year. Surprised Toronto just cut him like that. What?

Good signing for that price and that he is a LH bat so we don't have to see Flowers 5 days a week.

MLB Daily Dish ‏@mlbdailydish 4m4 minutes ago Update: The Marlins are reportedly looking at Roenis Elias and Nate Karns: http://www.mlbdailydish.com/2015/11/24/979...ns-rumors-ozuna … If that's the price....I don't know how were not involved.

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 24, 2015 -> 09:25 AM) i am bored, no movement on the sox part, this circus trip seems to be more boring, that that is my point. as the season is getting longer and longer, the nhl is still playing the same amount of games. i am wondering it the powers to be from both the nhl and the players union have thought, maybe it is time to go with a 100 season and maybe tighten up the playoff. meaning 16 team makes the playoff. knock that down to 12. That will never happen. That means 4 teams (2 from each conference) would receive byes. With a potential 7 games series, and how much the players bodies already take a beating, whoever has byes have a clear advantage. Hockey isn't like football.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Nov 24, 2015 -> 06:44 PM) Here is to hoping Flowers will be the backup now. If we go for it, hopefully it's Derek Norris.

Are we allowed to post the video or no? Because it is out now.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 24, 2015 -> 05:40 PM) Petricka is the guy I'd trade He's another ground ball guy that can throw 93-96 with movement though. That's Hahn's mold. I honestly can see Putnam on the block. He has a nasty splitter, but he throws 88-90 and he hung quite a bit of splitters late last season.

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 24, 2015 -> 05:16 PM) Sea just DFA John Hicks - cat / 3b. he had a miscue time in the majors, but he minor numbers is very interesting. i think he can be worth a look-see. He hit 245 with an ops of 645 last year in AAA at the age of 25. Doesn't scream that interesting to me.

With this acquisition, is Albers as good as gone? One of the pen guys going to be traded? Or just more depth in case of injury.

I read an article saying they don't think his power will translate to the MLB but he is a real strong defender.

He's got decent away from Coors field. Walks are high but he does strike out guys and keeps the ball on the ground. Only will face righties as lefties kill him. With that said, I'd rather have Almonte.

http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/11/kent...-be-posted.html There has been speculation that whenever he does get posted that Arizona would be the favorites. However, I would love if the Sox made a run at this kid.

Tottenham is really playing well. Youngest team in the league and unbeaten in their last 11 (6 ties though).

JCL for the win! lol

Tied at 75 with 230 left
