Oh come one, this is torture! You can't say Robertson, Frazier and Kahnle to NYY without dropping some prospect names. Boooooooo!

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 07:30 PM) - a twitter user with 29 followers named NOLC Action Lol, I'd take that deal.

Would be funny if it was the Yanks trading for Frazier and DRob.

Nightingale has been eerily quiet and not said a thing about Frazier being scratched.

Well then. Google has blown up with people tweeting " healthy scratch ". Did Frazier just wake up?

Que the bro hugs...

Frazier at DH. Makes sense being his last game and all. Not playing the field wil save his strength for hugs later in the game.

Just had a funny thought with a few ironic twists. All winter long Huntington refused to pull the trigger on Q because of Meadows. Meadows is having a down year as well as two (Glasgow/Newman) of the prospects offered for Q. Now, Q is with their division rival for at least the next three seasons. Oh, and the Sox got a better OF prospect to headline the deal. Hope Huntington and Meadows are happy together.

Isn't it Who's Zoomin Who?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 05:43 PM) So our lineup has been pulled back. Game postponed due to beautiful weather conditions. Stay tuned. ... Looks like the pre-game hug watch has begun.

Nice move by Rizzo. All he needs to do is find a few more middle relievers to compliment this trade and they're in much better shape. Those middle relievers won't cost the Nat's too much in prospects so they'll keep their big names. Would be shocked if they were still in on Robertson.

QUOTE (Quin @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 01:13 PM) Yeah, really don't care about the Cubs winning the World Series. It happened and isn't special anymore. Now, if Q pitches like he does and somehow turns in a HOF career and gets his number retired on the North Side, I'll be a bit bitter (but still very happy for Q). If Eloy turns in a HOF career on the South Side and Cease is an All-Star, I won't care at all. My ideal world still sees us bringing back Q in the Lester role in 3 years, the savvy vet to lead a young team to playoff glory. Maybe by then Q will be the #3 some claim he is now.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 12:57 PM) Trading flip candidates to acquire more flip candidates....sometimes this gets a little much. Sandoval is unflippable. I'm not sure a crane could flip Sandoval. What do they do for beached whales?

Set up a pool on the main concourse and have Panda slam a beer and do a belly flop into the pool for every Sox HR. Fun for the whole family.

Not one Sox fan likes the idea of helping the cubs, just like no cub fans liked helping the Sox but in the end both teams got the best of what's available and what they needed. There's no reason to think Hahn had a better offer. Then again, maybe we should have settled for Glasgow/Newman/+ ? The Sox were after a top OF prospect to headline a return for Q and got him, I'm happy with this deal. Sox love 1St, cub hatred 2ND.

I think it would be pretty cool to have a teletubbie for designated hitter.

I hope the Astros go after Gray and get cornholed by Beane. Gray would fit right in with that rotation and I'm not talking about Houston's starting rotation. I'm talking about the revolving door Houston's pitchers have with the DL. Passing on a durable pitcher like Q only to turn around and add a pitcher like Gray to their brittle rotation sounds like a Luhnow move.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 07:52 AM) This dude wanted to run Brad Peacock out for game 3 of a playoff series, and then "piggyback" their 4 and 5 starters off him for the remainder of the game and just use a "quick hook." You could hear Casey Stern sighing in the background and basically getting completely pissed off. Then he just went off on the guy... You want to start BRAD PEACOCK in your playoff series? What are the Astros waiting for??? How about actually trying to win now! He then went through all their young stars and asked WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO PLAY YOUR PROSPECTS? Do you want to bring up a SECOND team to play in the major leagues?? I was dying. That's gold right there!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 07:54 AM) If we are getting back much of anything for our rentals, you can't be really disappointed. Not at all. Hell, I was ready to cut ties with Frazier in May and now two months later the Sox might get something decent for him. Glad I'm not running things.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 07:45 AM) Source? All I can find is the kind of nonsense I was posting last night for s***s and giggles. No source, just referring to the s***s and giggles stuff. Wouldn't be surprised if there's something to the Frazier rumors.

Sounds like a deal is done and waiting for the announcement, perhaps after medicals are confirmed? I do like the reported package of prospects.

Bummer. He's young and the Sox are rebuilding so he's got plenty of time to recover. Would Burdi qualify for the AFL in 2018 if he comes back in July/August next year?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 04:03 PM) Colby Rasmus stepping away from baseball for the rest of the season. Melky Cabrera, come on down! Stepped away to shave that fugly beard, I hope.
