According to mlbtraderumors, Mariners have offered Melky a 3 year deal. I say go for 4 years and get it done.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 12, 2014 -> 01:28 PM) They are highly leveraged. Hey Rock, have you heard anything regarding the rest of the off season? Any names or positions you're hearing?

QUOTE (OsweGo-Go Sox @ Dec 12, 2014 -> 02:26 PM) Fangraphs article on Ynoa. Pretty good article. Hahn is excited about him, as am I. Like the Jennings trade which will most certainly leave Rodon in the minors to start, I think the Ynoa acquisition will leave Montas continue to starting in the minors rather than the bullpen like KW and Hahn has hinted in the past.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 12, 2014 -> 11:12 AM) Since you can be pretty sure that you don't want to just have Kromer do it as an interim to see if he'd be worth keeping around, I don't know who'd they could even have stick around that would be worthwhile. Maybe a position coach? Hoke I believe is his name, the DBs coach has been good since the Lovie Era.

This team is a joke. Trestman took over a 10 win team. Has won 13 games in almost 2 full years and his coaching staff is incompetent.

Jon Morosi @jonmorosi · 23m 23 minutes ago #Mariners have not made recent progress on a deal for #WhiteSox OF Dayan Viciedo, source confirms @TNT_Mariners report.

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 5m5 minutes ago If #WhiteSox trade Dayan Viciedo, they will end up looking for another RH outfielder to replace him. Otherwise, their OF would be too LH.

I'd be happy with Smith/Maurer/Furbush/Medina/Farquhar/Beaven

Bob Dutton ‏@TNT_Mariners 32s32 seconds ago Hearing not. Those talks seem to have cooled. @antreas_x mariners close to viciedo?is that true? Battle of beat writers here. So who's right?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 12:25 PM) With all the relievers we are bringing in, I can totally see Hahn trying to get creative on a deal attaching one of Petricka, Putnam, Guerra in a deal with Danks to a team that needs starting pitching and bullpen depth and can take on Danks contract I could see that too. I can see Webb on his way out with Danks to acquire a LFer.

Dodgers still need to do some work with their OF glut. Here's my idea. John Danks to the Dodgers for Andre Ethier + lots of cash. Then sign one of Medlan/Beachy/Morrow. Thoughts?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 12:09 PM) He's got it listed correctly. Ravelo was both added and dropped since the last day of the season. My bad.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 12:06 PM) Added to the Sox 40-man since the last day of the season: Ravelo, Saladino, Smith, Montas, Garcia, Ynoa, Shuck, Brantly, Duke, Samardzija, Robertson, Laroche, Jennings Dropped from the Sox 40-man since last day of the season: Ravelo, Semien, Bassitt, Phegley, De Los Santos, Thompson, Carroll, Snodgress, Rienzo, Taylor, Belisario, Konerko, Lindstrom, Paulino, Sierra, Mitchell I'll take that trade. Take Ravelo off the add list. But yes, that is much improved.

http://whitesox.mlb.com/team/roster_active.jsp?c_id=cws For those wondering, with the recent moves, including Jennings, roster is now at 39.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 11:46 AM) So in order for the Sox to keep Tago, he has to jump from A+ ball to AAA and stay there? Yes, if he doesn't figure out his control. Could be a LONG season for him lol.

Jayson Stark ‏@jaysonst 2m2 minutes ago #Phillies now saying they plan to play Herrera in CF. Could easily be starting CF Revere on the move?

Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 2m2 minutes ago The #Tigers no longer are pursuing Max Scherzer, GM David Dombrowski reveals. Bye bye Scherzer

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 1m1 minute ago White Sox know Dan Jennings needs to improve vs LHHs. Rick Hahn said Don Cooper sees ways to make it happen. Coop'll fix that.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 11:41 AM) Definitely one more, maybe two. Relievers?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 11:42 AM) Yes. If a player is selected in the AAA phase, he must remain at the AAA level (or higher) all year or he is returned to his previous team. There are smaller amounts to those, but they still cost money as well and you are offered some back if the team wishes to get the services back. However, due to the nature of the minor leagues, you will rarely see those guys returned, so Peter Tago is very likely to remain with the Sox. Ok thank you very much. We also probably won't see Curley or Leyer. Not big losses.

Question, the minor league guys selected in AAA and AA phase. Can they be returned to their previous team or no?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 11:27 AM) Missed the name, but Reds selected a RHP from Birmingham. Did you find out who got picked along with Curley?

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 11:19 AM) http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/p...id=tago--001pet Holy project, batman. Wow lol.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 11:22 AM) Charlotte... waivers. Who cares. Surkamp could also be long relief with his past experience of being a starter. Also, great trade.

Masterson to the Sox. Red Sox
