QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 11:09 PM) I called people sheep for accusing me of being an idiot for wanting a player better than Ryan Cordell, when that was nowhere near what the vast majority was speculating prior to the deal occurring. See the difference? I recall the one tweet we all saw that said he MIGHT possibly fetch a prospect outside top 150 from Hayes that's exactly what the Sox did here so I'm not sure what "vast majority" you're referring to. Seems like this trade falls exactly into what Hayes tweeted out yesterday. If you have other examples where it's stated that he'd fetch something better I must have overlooked and would truly love to check them out.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 10:34 PM) There is something called groupthink that happens, and it absolutely happens here. Compare the threads discussing what we think should be the returns for players, and then compare the actual returns for players. The difference is ridiculous. Considering that this is a message board it's not surprising. We're all fans and follow the sport/team more intensely than others, but regardless what we think we know, we aren't in the know of what's actually being discussed (Unless one/some of us are secretly Rick, Kenny, Jerry, etc., I apologize) or what true value of said asset actually is. Soxtalk mock proposals are just that. I'd say I was a bit let down by the Yankees trade after it came out, this one I was pleasantly surprised with. You don't have to agree with me and I don't care if you do and vice versa. You don't have to like the trade either, it's your right. Calling everyone sheep for being optimistic about a return on a player signed to a 1 year milb deal is pretty ridiculous. It's not like the Sox traded away Andrew Miller for Timo Perez 2.0.

Ryan Divish @RyanDivish Mariners getting cash back in the deal with the White Sox for Machi and Lowe. Opportunity for them to get to the big leagues

Well this couldn't hurt...I wonder what was given up in return.

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.

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
