QUOTE (KnightsOnMintSt @ Jul 21, 2017 -> 04:38 PM) So there is always the discussion on if the White Sox could sign Harper or Machado, but what about a trade for Stanton? The reason I think this would be interesting is because the White Sox probably wouldn't have to give up as many prospects as usual, solely because of the amount of money they would have to take on. Something like: White Sox get: Giancarlo Stanton. Marlins get: Eloy Jimenez, Zack Collins, Dane Dunning, Alec Hansen, and Spencer Adams. The Sox literally just beefed up the farm with impact talent, so let's turn around and give half of it away? HARD PASS

Jerry Crasnick @jcrasnick 3m There's lots of Todd Frazier to #redsox buzz, but they're still monitoring other 3B options. Search is still "wide open,'' says a source.

Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal now Prospects headed to #Athletics from #Nationals are LH Jesus Lazardo and 3B Sheldon Neuse. Those two plus Treinen for Doolittle, Madson.

White Sox Release Everth Cabrera

QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 04:04 PM) Will probably be Saladino and Gonzalez. I'd agree. I think these are the two most likely moves to be made, they make a lot of sense since they're both on rehab assignments and just about ready.

Jason Benetti @jasonbenetti now I'm told by a very good @whitesox source that Yoan Moncada is not being promoted tomorrow. Website clerical issue after Futures Game. nothing to see here

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 03:46 PM) Daryl Van Schouwen @CST_soxvan now Was told Yoan Moncada is not being called up by White Sox tomorrow. White Sox Twitterverse is convinced he is however. Hayes just confirmed he's not being called up as well. Dan Hayes @CSNHayes Same here.

Q to the Cubs Chicago White Sox @whitesox #WhiteSox have acquired OF Eloy Jiménez, RHP Dylan Cease, 1B Matt Rose & INF Bryant Flete from the Cubs in exchange for LHP José Quintana.

Scott Merkin @scottmerkin now White Sox rotation vs. Seattle: Fri--James Shields, Sat--Derek Holland, Sun--Jose Quintana

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 01:38 PM) They're dangling Happ supposedly. Also Babe Ruth!

Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 21s Sources: #Twins checking on controllable starters. List would include Quintana, Gray, as well as someone like Straily (control through ’20).

Brian Bilek @BrianBilek_ now I was told earlier this week Milwaukee, New York and Colorado were leading the way on Q but nobody came forward with the "heavy names" yet.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 6, 2017 -> 01:09 PM) But if guys have no trade value do you really need 2 scrubs of return to dump in A ball somewhere and release in 2 years? The Sox have two tradeable assets in Robertson and Q and that's it. The rest will bring scrubs who mean nothing to a rebuild. You guys perplex me. Just stop it. They may not have value to you, but they may have value to other MLB GMs. Now only time will tell on the latter, but to keep pushing that everyone (outside of DRob & Q) is worthless is simply ridiculous.

Los White Sox @loswhitesox now Hemos activado a David Robertson de la lista de paternidad; Michael Ynoa ha sido designado para asignación.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 6, 2017 -> 10:07 AM) Anyone who is a free agent after this season is 100% gone. That includes; Todd Frazier Melky Cabrera Derrick Holland Miguel Gonzalez (well the not healthy part might hold up a deal here) Mike Pelfrey (though no one may want him, even at a zero price... honestly he is probably a DFA candidate for August 1) Anthony Swarzak Then there are the players that have been talked about for almost a year now, who I would tend to bet on being gone; Jose Quintana David Robertson After that comes wild card players who have had great seasons, but the Sox may price out of the market; Avi Garcia Tommy Kahnle Players heading into arb years the Sox could listen on; Luery Garcia David Holmberg Dan Jennings (Probably has no value left) Charlotte Knights @KnightsBaseball now JUST ANNOUNCED: @whitesox RHP Miguel Gonzalez will start for the #CLTKnights tonight in #Durham on a rehab assignment. #WhiteSox Some good news here

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 30, 2017 -> 06:55 PM) I accomplish as much as you do. Just because I don't blindly accept the so-called rebuild. For instance I just read the prospects article, which was a fine article. From reading it, seems to me Moncada is a disaster at 2B defensively, and Collins is abysmal hitter and Fulmer is a total joke at this point. Just cause I bring up the bad doesn't mean I'm a bad poster. I don't trust the White Sox organization. At all. SELL JERRY, SELL. What is your main beef? I speak my heart and if it's not all roses, sorry. You shouldn't be allowed to call me weird and/or troll BTW. There it is, right on queue. Montero is trash, hard pass.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 12:39 PM) I like the Robert signing. That's not really rebuilding however. I consider it more free agency. You see a guy. You sign a guy. That to me is great. However it was alarming to read the ESPN.com Magazine article on the Cuban players and so so many are busts. I don't consider a signing of a Cuban player as part of any rebuild. This losing and tanking for draft picks and trades are the crucial rebuild mechanisms. We've signed Cuban players before and didn't call it part of any rebuild. So far this rebuild has given us a horrible season this season and a GM who for some reason didn't complete his blockbuster trades of Q and Robertson last winter. He has two trades to make this season as this so called rebuild continues. Let's see who he gets for Q and Robertson. I am glad four of us gave the rebuild a 2 thus far. I guess I could start patting Hahn on the back if Moncada comes up and looks like the superstar he supposedly is. I also was high high high on Anderson at one time, but everybody has limits. I finally got sick of low on base percentage and inability to take a walk. He did have a few walks in June and now has nine which is lending some hope. He did have a good on base percentage his last year of AA so maybe ... Glad to see the hat style changed this week.

Braves interested in Q, Archer per Dave O'Brien

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 26, 2017 -> 01:26 PM) Totally. His face looks like a video game character. And now having checked the scoreboard it's looking like the game may not be streamed online

I'm very excited to get the chance to watch Alec Hanson and his marvelous pitch-face tonight.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 23, 2017 -> 03:29 PM) I don't understand why you keep saying "stat lovers." How do you tell how good a baseball player is? By how well they wear their uniform? If they wear high socks/stirrups = All Star, pants down to ankles = AAAA
