Rondon at 2B Alvarez at SS Peter at LF If Peter can be good there, that could fast track him to the majors being able to play the OF.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 03:32 PM) Went over to a Dodgers board and asked about the King tweet. Poster said he would imagine King does have pretty good sources considering he hosts a Dodger show and has been a life long fan. Poster said its probably about Samardzija, unless we wanna talk about Sale. Went over to the Dodgers board, yeah its a complete joke. They were coming at me, and don't think it would cost one of the big 3 to get Sale lol

Got the team wrong and his name wrong lol

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 01:31 PM) I hope this wasn't meant in a negative way. I'd hope to get more than that but that was not a bad return. Oh I agree, but at the time it looked eh. Months blew up and Wendelken has been stellar in AA.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 11:04 AM) Not my cup of tea but clearly better than a comp pick Re Trey M, 2017 at the earliest. What is Jagielo's ETA? It says 2017 on mlb.com and he's 3 years older than Trey at the same level. Jagielo's stats .284/.347/.495/.842. 16 doubles, 2 triples, 9 HRs, 35 RBIs, 18 BBs, 58 Ks Trey's stats .270/.351/.411/.762 22 doubles, 3 triples, 6 HRs, 55 RBIs, 38 BBs, 72Ks Give me Trey every single day and twice on Sunday.

Bears have expressed interest in TE Jermaine Gresham.

Traded to the Angels for cash

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 11:11 AM) Is that sarcasm? I think he actually meant it lol

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 11:08 AM) Ventura is signed to what should be a pretty team friendly contract (presuming he's more like the guy from last year and less like the guy from this season). Presuming his stuff checks out, I would absolutely be okay with that sort of return for Shark. I also have tons of confidence in Coop. He also would free up our ability to move Q for some prospects, without necessarily weakening our pitching stable as much. Sox could essentially have him under control until 2021 (at total of $44M) and 2 of those years (and $24M) of that are option years in 2020 & 2021. I wouldn't mind Ventura at all either.

Larry King ‏@kingsthings 7m7 minutes ago Don't be surprised if the @dodgers and @whitesox make a trade before the deadline, July 31st. Larry King weighing in lmao. Im sorry, but I think this is hilarious.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 10:44 AM) Those are all too much. I'm not trying to be a jerk but we're just not going to get as much back for him as you're suggesting. Non taken, thank you for doing it in a respectful way. Although, I really think if we can package a reliever with Jeff, the value will go higher. Especially because none of our relievers that are receiving interest are expensive.

QUOTE (PolishPrince34 @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 09:41 AM) Wow you are expecting a huge return for Shark. This market is flushed with starting pitching. I think you are going to be very disappointed when Shark is finally traded. That Toronto trade is so far off. Toronto would never do that. How so? They keep their top prospects that are near ready in Norris, and keep guys like Hoffman, Pentecost. Alford and Reid-Foley are ways away still, and Castro is a power arm out of the pen. If you can't get a deal like that then you don't make the deal, that simple. Also, in that deal, TOR would get Putnam who does bring value.

QUOTE (bulokis @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 09:41 AM) If we do trade Shark, let's say he wants back and Sox sign him. Do we give up a draft pick? No. Once a player is traded that is eligible for a QO, that player does not require a pick then. Example, John Lester last year.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 09:28 AM) I really get the feeling the teams #1 target is not a catcher, it is a 3b. I don't think they would pass up a deal with a good catching prospect in it, I just really think they will be looking more at the hot corner. I disagree because I think it depends on how high they are on Trey Michalczewski. He most likely will be in AA next year, and if he has a good year next year, could get an outside shot at a spot next year. I think they go after middle IF and OFers in trades. Most likely the latter.

Here are some packages that I think could happen. Toronto gets: SP Jeff Samardzija and RP Zach Putnam White Sox get:SP Sean Reid-Foley, RP Miguel Castro, OF Anthony Alford Yankees get: SP Jeff Samardzija White Sox get: SS Jorge Mateo, C Gary Sanchez Giants get: SP Jeff Samardzija White Sox get: SS Christian Arroyo, SP Miguel Santos, SS Kelvin Beltre Pirates get: SP Jeff Samardzija White Sox get: OF Austin Meadows, SS Alen Hanson Dodgers get: SP Jeff Samardzija and RP Zach Putnam White Sox get: OF Alex Verdugo, SP Zach Lee, C Austin Barnes

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 09:02 AM) Ian Thomas will be the Dodgers' 13th different starting pitcher this season. That's amazing they are still in first place. Helps when that division is awful.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 09:22 AM) That is a lot of questions marks. I'd prefer to not look at guys who are half of a decade away... at best. Same.

QUOTE (PolishPrince34 @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 09:09 AM) I would trade Shark and Putnam to the Yankees for J.R Murphy , Jagielo, and PTBL. Sox Front office have been a fan of Murphy in the past and is major league ready which is what Hahn is looking for. Also PTBL can be determined based on how far the Yankees go in the playoffs. Have some upside to this deal. That's brutal. Give me the comp pick. Murphy is a back up catcher. Trey M >> Jagielo

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 08:07 AM) Recap posted from Fulmer Day part 2. Rookie clubs did well again too, and Kanny played 15 innings. Where have Adolfo and Nunez been for AZL?

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 07:02 AM) Well this is interesting. http://www.csnchicago.com/white-sox/white-...hot-stove-heats "In exchange for Kazmir, who shares the same contract status as Samardzija, Oakland received Houston’s No. 19 and No. 22 prospects. One baseball executive thinks the White Sox could expect to receive a little more than the A’s did. But if other teams look at a trade market that seems to be saturated with pitchers and don’t give them what they want, the White Sox could hang on to Samardzija and make him a qualifying offer, which would net them a compensatory first-round pick in the 2016 draft. One scout suggested the White Sox would receive no more than a “B” level prospect for Samardzija to which an American League scout said: “If that was the case, they’d be better off keeping (him) for the draft pick.” I'm not sure what to think outside of I hope the Sox do not sign Samardzija in the off season. Those were preseason rankings. Callis said Nottingham would be 9 in the mid season list, so he has blown up pretty well.

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 3m3 minutes ago Samardzija on expectations for trade: "I haven’t heard anything so I haven’t had any way to have an opinion on the matter..... Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 3m3 minutes ago More Samardzija: "... It’s been totally silent on my end."
