Sherman
Keep hearing #Padres having difficulty moving Shields/Kemp/JUpton and ownership wants cut payroll. That could open even more Kimbrel (cont)
Engel for Upton. Deal. SD is getting desperate lol.

Cespedes gets traded a lot. Is he a good guy or team chemistry liability?
David Price and Jeff Samardzija get traded a lot too.

With Padres rumored to be on verge of selling explosion, interesting to note Will Middlebrooks removed from AAA game.
Middlebrooks and Upton?

Thing is, Tigers sent us Avi and he's not special. Now if they trade us Cespedes that means they think he's lousy as well.
False, they're out of it. Why not get something for him as a pending free agent and try and resign him in the off season?
QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 09:07 PM)
Rock, have you actually heard Sale's hurt or is that just a guess?
He hasn't heard anything. He doesn't talk to anyone anymore.
Sale was still throwing 96-97 in the 5th.

Injured or traded? Remember Micah was pulled yesterday and everyone jumped to conclusions.
Not sure, he's just not in the game right now.
QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:08 PM)
Watch yesterday's highlights...
On defense? He tried to cut the ball off, realized couldn't get to it, then went and played it off the wall.
Still got the guy out at home.
QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:07 PM)
I can say with certainty that he doesn't hustle as hard as he can/should on gappers or balls hit down the line.
Yeah, you're definitely wrong about this.
QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 06:07 PM)
Yep
Pirates gave their #13 prospect for Soria. There's your market.
Ehhhh little different. Everyday player >>>> set up guy.
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 05:49 PM)
Can Fulmer be traded?
If we're trying to avoid things from the big league squad, Micah + Fulmer + Anderson + Montas could be close.
If not then it's a price the Sox wouldn't do (Rodon/Quintana).
Fulmer cannot be traded.
QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 05:43 PM)
FWIW, the Padres are 8-4 since the ASB and are just 4 below .500.
Doesn't mean anything when the Pirates are 18 game over and Giants are 11 games over 500

Longoria is under contract until 2022. He's having a rough season (for him). His price is probably lowest its been.
QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 05:15 PM)
Put this in the Soria thread, but I have a feeling that we are in a 3-team trade with the Pirates and Tigers involving Soria, Sellers, and Cespedes.
Lol, tell me which player doesn't fit there.
QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:52 PM)
I've been skimming the Tigers message boards. Pretty amusing that they think we have zero in our farm system. Unless you count that whole pitching thing. But the Tigers dont need that right? One person suggested Danish.
I mentioned Danish and Wheeler for Cespedes.

#WhiteSox hitters last in the majors in fWAR, so almost any upgrade would make sense. Main need: 3B, a position of scarcity in industry.
Todd Frazier is out of the line up tonight
