QUOTE (dayan024 @ Nov 13, 2014 -> 04:24 PM) @timdierkes: Dark horses for Yasmany Tomas? Hearing there are three "very unlikely" teams among those still in the mix for him. I'm hearing there are at least 23 teams that would love to sign him but are very not unlikely to be not be involved..

QUOTE (Baron @ Nov 13, 2014 -> 03:13 PM) They met him with him I think 3 times. They seem pretty interested Doesn't necessarily mean he would want to play for a losing team and in that ballpark.. You would think after seeing the success of Abreu he would want to come here or a hitter's friendly park.. But it is probably all about the money with him and his agent

Why would any hitter go to the Padres? If they do get him they must have offered him a lot more money and a starting position

Apparently nobody knows right now.. If it isn't us I hope it is a NL team

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 13, 2014 -> 12:33 AM) or Jose Igelsias. Maybe if Leury Garcia.. I don't think Rondon could be much worse.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 09:48 PM) I agree that Montas should go on because someone would use him as a bullpen piece in my opinion. But, I think there is no way someone picks up Rondon. The fact that Brendan Ryan still has a job proves otherwise

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 05:42 PM) I'd expect this deal to be done soon. Mets are stuck. How are they stuck? We got 4 and a half months until the season starts..

Damn it

Close!

QUOTE (juddling @ Nov 11, 2014 -> 04:35 PM) IMO The Blacklist is the best show on tv right now.......... One of my girlfriend and I's favorite shows. She was pretty upset that it doesn't come back on until Feb.

I would think almost every team is interested in him

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Nov 11, 2014 -> 02:48 PM) How do you define the money being right? The marginal benefit from another number 1 is less than the marginal benefit of using that money in places of real need. For example, a number 3 and a good LF would benefit the sox more than a number 1 It is tough to put a number on it really. $20 million a year would be ideal but is also not realistic for what Scherzer is wanting and what another team will pay for. Another pitcher is of real need. We can't compete with Noesi, Danks, and Bassit as our 3, 4, and 5 so getting another starter that is equal or better then Quintana is important IMO.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Nov 11, 2014 -> 02:39 PM) Adding a number 1 when sox have so many holes isn't best use of resources What is wrong with having two #1's and #2? If it wasn't for the money I would be all for having him but that isn't realistic. There is nothing wrong with getting another #1 if the money is right.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 10, 2014 -> 09:39 PM) OK.

I am cool with him as the DH if we can get Sandoval

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 10, 2014 -> 02:41 PM) So your "source" is MLB Trade Rumors and solely MLB Trade Rumors. OK. Always wondered what his "source" was. I always assumed it is where everyone else got the reports and he didn't have a master source.

Is this going to be discussed every off-season? We aren't trading Sale.

Rebounding/Defense is a huge concern which is nuts to think about. We are being outhustled by everyone

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 4, 2014 -> 10:31 PM) Yes how dare Thibs not play McDermott the entire 2 nd half in the fourth game Thibs has had him. What a stubborn asshole! He does this every time these four games! What is the point of overworking some of these guys in the 4th game against the damn Magic.

I am tired of Thibs and his stubbornness and s***ty rotations. McBuckets has 12 points in the first half and has 1 minute played in the 2nd.. Brilliant

So did he survive?

If no Martinez then I really want Sandoval.

I would be very happy with getting him.. Go protection for Abreu. I don't think he will be horribly worse with age. Can't imagine him hitting less then .270 throughout a 3 year contract. I would expect a few more home runs playing at US Cellular. Eaton Ramirez Abreu Martinez Garcia Gillaspie LF Flowers/C Semien/Sanchez/Johnson Could be a good line up depending on who we get for the extra OF spot.

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Nov 1, 2014 -> 04:52 PM) Brewers were perhaps the team with the most clear need for an upgrade at 1B. Meaning the market for VMart, LaRoche, Butler, and Morales is pretty much down to -White Sox -Tigers -Royals -Mariners -Rangers edit: obviously, trades could occur putting other teams in this group as well We don't need an upgrade at 1st. We need an upgrade at DH with a guy who can play 1st 10-15 times a year maybe.. And I think Gillaspie can play 1st
