Meadows and Bell would be absolutely amazing, but I'm not counting on it. Anyone think Pittsburgh could be interested in Abreu as well? He's not that expensive, controlled for a couple years, and could replace Bell if he's coming to Chicago.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 08:05 AM) If this Pirates rumor is true, I would expect a Quintana trade done before Christmas. What would you want from Pittsburgh? I don't know their system that well, but I think Meadows is a must as the headliner.

This is exciting. Things seem to be heating up a bit.

Throw in Frazier. Robertson. Anything to get both Torres and Frazier.

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 03:52 PM) And Quintana is a very good pitcher, he is not on the level of Sale. Wrong.

From Andrew Marchand of ESPN:

I think I would prefer Torres as well. He's younger and more raw, but I think his ceiling is higher. It'd be awesome if a former Cubs prospect became a star on the South Side.

If the Yankees said they'd part with Frazier or Torres for Q, which one would you prefer? And why?

Not that it really matters, but isn't Torres an SS? Where would Anderson play if they acquired him?

So what's an acceptable package from the Yankees? Torres or Frazier, along with Judge, Mateo, Andujar, and Severino?

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 10:44 AM) I can't see this being more than due diligence by the Yankees. They have an excellent farm system and it would be a big step backwards for them to pilfer it now and trade for Quintana. They certainly do have the prospects to put a deal together though Even if it is, maybe this leak will pressure Houston or even Colorado to give the Sox what they want. I'm hopeful. C'mon Rick Hahn.

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 10:41 AM) Hey a new rumor!!! Jon MorosiVerified account ‏@jonmorosi #Yankees interested in Jose Quintana, source says, and they have the sort of prospects #WhiteSox are looking for. @MLB @MLBNetwork link Holy s***. If the Sox could get Torres or Frazier along with Rutherford I would crap my pants.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 10:33 AM) I know you asked Rabbit (it's opinionated anyway) but in my opinion I'm gonna say no. But why? Unless the market for him just isn't there, I find it highly unlikely that Jones will ever be worth more than he is right now. The Sox need to take advantage of that.

I can say with absolute certainty that I have never heard of this guy. Doesn't seem like much on paper but who knows.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 10:21 AM) Agreed. Sox best course of action is to let Robertson rebuild his value and trade Jones and his incredible contract now. Do you think it's likely that Jones is moved this offseason? Like you said, they might as well move Jones now while his value is sky high and wait for DRob to get back to the way he was before last season and flip him to a desperate team next trade deadline.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 10:16 AM) I've heard the market for Robertson described as "ice cold." Sox aren't getting anything of significance for Robertson. Well that sucks. Might as well hold onto him and hope he does well next year so he can be flipped at the deadline.

Hawk is one of the greatest announcers to ever live whether you like him or not. Living legend.

QUOTE (CregerMax @ Dec 18, 2016 -> 05:29 PM) With those numbers, how does he get 30+ starts? Because the Sox want the #1 overall pick in 2018, lol. On a side note, are you on the Blowout Cards Forum? I feel like I recognize your username from somewhere.

31 starts 6.41 ERA 188 IP 117 K 87 BB 46 HR 1 CG 0 SO 17 QS

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 16, 2016 -> 08:01 PM) Ziegler is now off the market. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/12/marl...p;post-id=80760 Hopefully this helps Robertson's market. Agreed my friend. I think it will. The Nationals wanted Ziegler, hopefully they go hard after Robertson now.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Dec 16, 2016 -> 11:12 AM) Absolutely agree. I feel like it really started going to s*** around Thanksgiving 2008. LMAO.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 15, 2016 -> 02:04 PM) It would be Q's luck to get traded to Colorado He has what it takes to thrive there IMO.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 15, 2016 -> 11:44 AM) According to Bob Nightengale, Rockies are in discussions with Encarnacion and Trumbo. HOLY s***! Signing either one of them makes me feel like they'd HAVE to trade for an ace like Q.

It's possible the Rockies could move an outfielder like Blackmon and then use some of the prospects they get for him in a Q trade.
