QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Dec 5, 2015 -> 08:21 PM) Can we just go back to the more logical move of trading Q? My newest proposal is with the Astros Q for Preston Tucker, Michael Feliz, JD Davis, and Derek Fisher What positions do Davis and Fisher play? I know Tucker is an outfielder and Feliz is a pitcher.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Dec 5, 2015 -> 12:33 PM) I bet Samardzija has an ERA around 3 next season. I wouldn't doubt it.

So what number pick do the Sox receive from the Giants? 31st overall?

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 5, 2015 -> 12:09 PM) 2010 2012 2014 That's the past. They sure as hell won't be winning any championships now that he's on the team.

LOLOLOLOLOL. I feel bad for Giants fans.

Sale does seem to get fatigued towards the end of each season, but I think that's just because he's tired as opposed to being injured. Like Jose said, one of his elbow injuries came on the heels of one of the worst managerial decisions I've ever seen and the other one came off of his 8 start streak of 10 of more K's when he clearly was giving it everything he had as well.

I hate seeing the comments that say the Sox should trade Sale because of his "injury concerns". How is he that different from any other pitcher? Yeah, he has a funky motion, but he's so tall and lanky that I don't think it's as bad for his elbow/arm/shoulder as people make it out to be. People have said that he's a TJ surgery waiting to happen since the day he was drafted, and nothing significant has happened to him yet. Knock on wood that nothing ever does.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 08:07 PM) If the Cubs and Atlanta agree to the speculated Soler/Miller swap, the cubs rotation would be pretty solid on paper with Lackey as their #4. I hope the Dodgers up their offer for Miller. Agreed. I don't want to see a guy like Miller, Carrasco, Salazar, etc go to the Cubs.

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 07:24 PM) Wonder if this crushes my dreams of us trading Q for 2-3 MLB ready hitters. How would this crush your dreams? There are so many teams looking for quality pitching still and everyone would love to have Q in their rotation. I don't think it's a matter of finding a suitor for Q, it's a matter of getting a good enough return for him to pull the trigger on a deal.

QUOTE (daggins @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 07:22 PM) I have a feeling they either trade for a big starter (Q!) or bring in another FA like Chen or Shark. This is also another possibility. Although I doubt that they'd trade Inciarte/Peralta or whoever else now since they're clearly going all in.

This could also force the Dodgers to overpay for Q or gulp...even Sale out of necessity since they have to replace Greinke.

Archie Bradley is a key to their future success too. Maybe Greinke can help mentor him.

This is very surprising to say the least.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 06:40 PM) Not going to lie, I am not a fan of having other teams signings in the White Sox part of the website. I would much rather have them separate like they were before. Agreed. It's unnecessary clutter.

If only the Bulls had traded up for Porzingis. That guy is a stud.

This is my favorite quote that I've seen so far regarding the Lackey signing.

I just hope that the Cubs keeping losing in the next few years when their core is young and cheap. They'll be f***ed when Lester is at the end of his deal, Arrieta is expensive, and all their young guys are older and more expensive.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 04:43 PM) Seen a few places the Cardinals might go after Samardzija now As long as he's nowhere close to a White Sox uniform when the season starts and dominates the Cubs on whatever team he signs with, I'll be happy.

Hopefully he pitches like Samardzija did for the Sox.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 04:31 PM) This makes me happy as a Cubs hater Well said. Honestly, their rotation next year will be pretty meh if they don't pick up anyone else. There's no chance that Arrieta will be as dominant as he was in 2015, Lester is aging fast, as is Lackey, and Hammel and Hendricks have never been that good.

Lolz. Good luck to them signing a flyball pitcher that's old as dirt for that much money.

The Sox should sign this guy and Hwang.

All things considered, I'd probably swap Danks for Nova straight up.
