QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 10, 2017 -> 02:41 PM) Not bad, but why pitchers? Sox seem to have a lot of pitching prospects if you include Rodon and Fulmer and Rodon has been doing better of late and looks nasty at times. I'd prefer a return of catchers, outfielders and shortstops. We could always move Anderson to third or second if we get some amazing shortstop. Why not all position players in return, especially an elite catcher? I wonder why you include pitching in the return? I chose pitchers because I feel like that would be the best deal available for those type of players. You mention an elite catcher, but where would you find one from any of the teams that are interested in our big time players? Severino, backup catcher. Yankees aren't trading Sanchez. Sox are probably also content with Zavala, Collins, and now Skoug in the system.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 10, 2017 -> 02:07 PM) I do not recall hearing that the Nationals offered Robles + Giolito + Lopez + Dunning for Sale. That would be arguably a better return than we got from Boston. I believe that Robles was in play for Sale, but likely either Giolito or Lopez + another piece or two, not both of them AND Dunning. Robles was not on the table for Eaton, otherwise I'm sure the Sox would have wanted him. I'm pretty sure that was the rumored deal for Sale because everyone on twitter was saying that the Sox got Eaton for one less player than the Nats proposed deal to the Sox for Sale.

First and foremost I think now is the best time to trade Q. He's pitching a lot better and won't have as much value next off season compared to now. I think it's a given that Robertson is traded, but the rest I've been having some trouble with Quintana Potential Suitors: Braves Brewers Yankees Rockies Astros Dodgers I really believe Quintana will be trade to the Yankees for OF Clint Frazier, RHP Chance Adams, and OF Estevan Florial. This trade gives the Sox a top 25 prospect highlighted bat in Frazier, a 2-3 rotation starter in Adams, and Florial about 3 years away and hopefully lock down another OF spot. Robertson Potential Suitors: Diamondbacks Red Sox Yankees Nationals Rangers I have the Nationals sucking it up admitting their faults and trade for Robertson for SS Carter Kieboom and LHP Jesus Luzardo. This trade gives the Sox much needed prospect depth in the middle infield who has good potential and Luzardo a lefty to fill the pitching pipeline that when healthy can be TOR potential. Frazier Potential Suitors: Red Sox Yankees Cardinals With the rumored interest in Donaldson from the Cardinals, I think they could be a great fit for Frazier as he already knows the NL and specifically the NL central. Frazier to the Cards for RHP Jake Woodford Cabrera Potential Suitors: Yankees Royals I think Melky will be an August trade chip, but I see the Royals as the best fit for him. He has played there before, and they can use another bat and help out in the OF with or replacing the slumping Alex Gordon. Cabrera to the Royals for LHP Foster Griffin. Holland, and Gonzalez probably won't net much if anything at all so I wouldn't even know where to start. But what are your guys thoughts on mine and what can you come up with?

QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 10, 2017 -> 11:43 AM) John Calvagno from notesfromthesally.com on his first look at Jake Burger link I'd gladly take that from Burger.

Halfway through GBOF, I thought the iron tag match was fantastic. Cesaro and Sheamus are great together. Also, Alexa Bliss is a goddess and I'm trying to marry her.

Robert Murray‏Verified account @RobertMurrayFRS 7m7 minutes ago More Regarding Brewers interest in Quintana/Gray, two rival execs think price to get either would be Lewis Brinson, Josh Hader, Brett Phillips. Replace Hader with Ortiz and add a 4th piece and I do that deal. Doubt Brewers would though

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jul 9, 2017 -> 01:00 PM) It's their 2nd, 3rd and 6th best prospects for a SP who's ERA is 4 and WHIP is 1.3. Pint is getting touched up a bit in A ball and walks a lot of guys. Murphy is a 26 year old catcher and the other guy sports a high 4 ERA in AA. No thanks.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jul 9, 2017 -> 11:10 AM) Pint, Murphy and Castellani for Q? That's awful for the Sox. I think it has to be one of Rodgers/Dahl, McMahon, Lambert, and Gomez

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 09:30 AM) The one thing worth noting is that Milwaukee's AAA team plays in Colorado, which means there are going to be a lot of altitude driven stats. Out of their top 10 hitters wise, only Brinson and Phillips play there and I'd still gladly take both.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 6, 2017 -> 08:05 PM) Seems like a much more realistic headliner for Robertson than Soto. Agreed, and one I would gladly add to the Sox farm system.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 6, 2017 -> 07:46 PM) Rick Hahn has the best job in America by far. So for about five years he can put the worst team imaginable on the field (LOL, cringe worthy rotation of Pelphrey, Miguel G, Holland, Shields) and be lauded and loved for it. "Good job Rick," Reinsdorf will say after the season, "you are doing a good job of losing and getting us top draft picks. Hope you can keep acquiring horrible players so we can lose even more games." Then in the meantime he trades the few good older players we have. Real difficult. Anybody could sit in an office and trade Eaton or Sale or Robertson or Q. Oh wait ... he hasn't even traded Robertson or Q yet in the supposed rebuild. So in conclusion, what a great great job Hahn has: Lose as many games as possible with the worst players you can assemble while working on trades that anybody could execute. Obviously Boston wanted Sale. So you get a list of their best position player hitting prospect, Moncada, real difficult to pull off. Sign a top guy like Robert. Everybody wanted him. Real difficult to pull off. Hahn can enjoy 4-5 more seasons of horrid baseball and be praised for it, cause it gets us a good draft pick. I hope Hahn is enjoying his easy high paying job, putting a loser on the field and fans not being mad but saying, "PLEASE LOSE MORE!" Dude, just give it up. You're impossible to deal with.

Greg, We traded Gordon Beckham to the Angels couple years ago for a PTBNL. That player was Yelncy Almonte. We turned Yelncy Almonte into Tommy Kahnle for 2 months of Gordon Beckham. So yes, no matter the value, trade guys who will 100% not be back.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 6, 2017 -> 10:35 AM) Jon Morosi‏Verified account @jonmorosi 2m2 minutes ago More Sources: #Nationals showing interest in #Reds closer Raisel Iglesias. He has a 1.59 ERA, 15 of 16 in save opportunities. @MLB @MLBNetwork If teams want Robles/Soto, I could see why the Nats are aiming higher than Robertson.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 03:41 PM) Plus, Albers and Turner have done surprisingly well for them...additional anecdotal evidence for the AL is much tougher than the NL argument. Turner just got DFA'd and Albers has been returning to his old self

I think Kahnle could net a top 50 prospect and 2 fliers

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 11:09 AM) Tier 1: Could go quick and will almost assuredly go for decent return - Frazier/Robertson Tier 2: Could go at any point for a song - Holland/Pelfrey Tier 3: Productive but expect a lack of interest/return given performance - Swarzak/Melky Tier 4: Return dependent - Q/Kahnle Past that, it'd be a shock to see them move Avi. Jennings could but isn't all that interesting. There's really 8 guys. Hopefully the Sox trade 5-6 of them. Define song please And you don't think Swarzak could net an organizational top 25 prospect?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 4, 2017 -> 01:02 PM) This is appalling. The White Sox have acquired some really awful baseball players and yet everybody keeps their jobs. Somebody thought Shields could pitch and the Sox had to take over a lot of money on his contract. Very bizarre. He had given up 10 runs the start before the Sox got him and was called out by SD for his ineptitude. And we throw a good prospect in the Erik Johnson for Shields deal. Weird. Out of all the prospects the Sox have traded over the years, who has done well for themselves? The best that comes to my mind is Gio Gonzalez, but we got Jim Thome and Chris Young

Who will be the first traded, to where, and for who? Go.

I loved Enzo's promo on Cass last night.

Hawks signing Tommy Wingels too. Awesome Saad-Toews-Panik Schmaltz-Anisomov-Kane Sharp-Wingels-Hartman Hayden-Kero-Jurco Dauphin/Hino/Tootoo I really like that forward group
