QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 15, 2016 -> 10:21 AM) Rockies sign Mike Dunn. 3yr/$18m. Go all-in Rockies and deal for Q and Robertson. That's insane. Why not give that money to Boone Logan who they're familiar with and trust?

Hahn should have a statue erected of himself in front of the G Spot if he can get Rodgers, Dahl, McMahon, and Murphy for Q.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 15, 2016 -> 09:22 AM) I bet a lot of moves happen (not just our team but around the MLB in general) in the next 8-9 days before the holidays. I agree honey.

Stephen Piscotty would be a great get but he's probably untouchable at this point.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 14, 2016 -> 12:57 PM) Cespedes cost around $30 million for that season. The mess of one years signings cost the Sox no where near that much. It wasn't $30 million, but all the crappy free agents the Sox signed last offseason was a significant sum of money.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 14, 2016 -> 12:50 PM) Dude, $8M is nothing. If you think that is expensive on the FA market, the Sox stand no chance of turning this thing around. Perhaps I used the wrong word. I meant unproductive. If the player performs, they deserve a nice contract. The Sox commonly give money to guys that don't perform to expectations.

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 14, 2016 -> 12:15 PM) You care Mike...you care... The payroll is going to be ridiculously low next year, so it's not that big of a deal right now. But like GreenSox said, Hahn can't add these expensive, declining veterans for millions when the team is competitive again. They could've signed a star like Cespedes last year with all the money they blew on scrubs.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 14, 2016 -> 12:12 PM) Who cares? It's a one year deal and it's not like the Sox are hurting for money right now. I don't care. Obviously the Sox can afford it. I'm just saying that's a lot of money for a pitcher like him. That's all.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 14, 2016 -> 11:56 AM) The #WhiteSox still want to trade Jose Quintana,and figured #Astros were perfect match, but won't move him until someone meets their price. https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/809094035944144896 This tweet is the definition of posturing. The Sox are using Nightengale to try and up the Astros' offer.

and can someone please change the spelling of his name in the thread title? It's Derek, not Derrick.

Up to $8 million for Holland of all people? Ugh. I was hoping it'd be half that.

Anderson Moncada Beer Collins That would be an amazing core of hitters for 5+ years.

Is this signing official yet? I don't have any issue with adding him. He's not that old and it's probably a short term and cheap contract. Worst case scenario is he's a Shields or Danks clone and gets the Sox closer to the #1 pick. Best case is that Coop helps him out and the Sox get another prospect out of it. We'll see.

I never want to see the Sox lose, but when there is a generational talent like Seth Beer in the 2018 draft class, I'd be ok if they stunk next year as long as they get him.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 14, 2016 -> 09:46 AM) There was already a spot for him regardless. Not if they consider Covey to be a starter. I bet Rodon/Gonzalez/Holland/Shields/Covey is the rotation we'll be looking at most of 2017.

Makes me feel like Q is the next one out the door.

Nightengale said he would be surprised if Q wasn't traded sometime this week, so I'm still holding out hope. That being said, it's been awfully quiet lately.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 13, 2016 -> 12:07 PM) Hahn feels bad about the Eaton trade, so he threw Rizzo a bone and give him an extra arm. :lol:

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 13, 2016 -> 12:05 PM) Current foretasted temperatures for Sunday. High: 2, Low: -11. Good thing I sold my Bears/Packers tix while they were still going for face. Holy crap. That doesn't even factor in the wind chill. Looks like I won't be doing much of anything this weekend except for shoveling.

I'm sad to see this White Sox legend in another uniform. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/12/nati...ree-others.html

Martes, Tucker, Reed, Paulino, Laureano, and Stubbs. Anything less isn't enough. Force Lunhow to bend over backwards to get Q.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Dec 13, 2016 -> 09:33 AM) Nothing less than Altuve, Correa, and Bregman for Q! Need Springer, Giles, and McCullers too. Anything else isn't enough.

I want Carlos Correa.

Lmfao

Who's the better coach: Fisher or Trestman?
