QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 08:31 PM) From the sounds of the reporting the third team would be taking Haren from the marlins. So unless you want Haren, don't hope for the Sox to be involved. Haren was part of the dee gordon trade. Rollins is Philly and dodgers with supposed 3rd team involved.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 07:51 PM) Where did you see that? Sources indicate third team is involved in Rollins deal and money is being exchanged. Needs approval from commissioner's office. https://twitter.com/MLB/status/542846717742563329

Have heard from multiple people about how much "Rick Hahn loves Jason Castro". Trade candidate. #WhiteSox #Astros https://twitter.com/ChrisCotillo/status/542490017310863360

Worth watching today w/White Sox ... talks w/Dodgers. They talked Matt Kemp but both Andre Ethier and Carl Crawford fit w/LAD paying $$$. https://twitter.com/philgrogers/status/542365147734360065

Kenny Williams tells @KapandHaugh that Carlos Rodon will probably start his MLB career out of the bullpen like Chris Sale did. https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/542340460627243008

Sox could sign drew if they trade Alexei. If the sox can lockup samardzija and we're able to get Snydergaard plus for ramirez then I would do it. The shortstop market is shrinking. Starlin castro is supposedly to be off the market now and I don't believe Tulo is going anywhere. The Mets and dodgers are in desperate need and I would be asking for Snydergaard or Pederson. Imagine if the sox were able to lockup samardzija and acquired Snydergaard. That rotation would be sale, Samardzija, quintana, Snydergaard and Rodon in the future. Pretty damn good if you tell me. But I only trade Alexei if you got something of Snydergaard or Pederson.

White Sox GM Rick Hahn declines comment about potential Jeff Samardzija deal, which is reportedly close to being done. https://twitter.com/ChiTribKane/status/542166334595805185

Even if a Samardzija deal is close to being finalized, it doesn't sound as if the #Athletics are planning to announce anything tonight. https://twitter.com/susanslusser/status/542164238467231744

Sounds as if Beane's hints of something else coming soon indeed involve Jeff Samardzija and the #WhiteSox. #Athletics https://twitter.com/susanslusser/status/542162243475877889

How do you spell his name..? Samardzija...? Heard he's good. #ComeOnOver #SouthSide https://twitter.com/AdamSpankyEaton/status/...159875414163456

The #White Sox are shaking things up at winter meetings. Samardzija deal will be done next. http://t.co/IYoXU4re4D https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/542159320356360192

The #WhiteSox have been confident for days that Jeff Samardzija will soon be on their staff having all but completed their deal https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/542158735557156864

Sources: #WhiteSox close to acquiring Samardzija from #Athletics. @JonHeymanCBS and @JeffPassan were on it. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/542157035307945984

Samardzija to #WhiteSox for Marcus Semien, Hector Noesi and Josh Phegley makes sense to me https://twitter.com/scotgregor/status/542141564257304577

Nick Capra told me during Instructs that Tyler Saladino, recovering from Tommy John, would prob be most ready at SS behind Alexei of course https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/542141026782048256

Had heard from a couple of different people White Sox weren't against getting Samardzija for one year. Would just influence the return https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/542140363230560256

Beane suggests several things are in the works. Sounds like something else could get done here tonight or tomorrow. https://twitter.com/JaneMLB/status/542138251943747584 A's desire a shortstop that fits into current plan: young and under control for several years. So Alexei Ramirez likely not a match. https://twitter.com/JaneMLB/status/542138929428697088

Sources: If the White Sox do deal for Jeff Samardzija, return would be Marcus Semien and prospects. A's would slot Semien in at shortstop. https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/542134393595117568

Hahn also said they won't be carrying 5 catchers on roster so probably going to be a trade on one of them Hahn on Brantly, 5th catcher on 40man: "A lefthanded hitting catcher who is major-league ready and provides us depth at a premium position'' https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/542103442332721153

QUOTE (daggins @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 03:39 PM) It's looking like Boston will not land Lester, if rumors are to be trusted (who knows). I would wager we should know if this happens soon. I was wondering if Boston low offer of trying to extend lester and then trading him didn't hurt their chances. Supposedly he's down to cubs giants barring last min change which I'm surprised. Hopefully pitcher market gets going once he decides.

masterson has meetings with white sox, red sox, marlins maybe cubs and more. kc, sf & minn also in. http://t.co/HwPeSd9zTj https://twitter.com/JonHeymanCBS/status/542050439089225728

He is lefty bat and hit pretty well in 2012

Kenny Williams said #Whitesox owner Jerry Reinsdorf told him not proper time to leave to go for #Bluejays prez job https://twitter.com/Joelsherman1/status/542041655423950848 Kenny Williams is staying with the #Whitesox for now, but permission could be granted for #BlueJays CEO later. https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/542042037835427841

Milb take on what package required for acquiring samardzija and cole hamels. http://m.milb.com/news/article/20141208103419720/

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 10:43 AM) That's why I think the deal will involve Rameirez if it's done. The A's need a shortstop this season. They have top SS prospects. If ramirez was part of the deal I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't end up trading him down the road.
