    The guy who posted the reddit rumor isn't on a throwaway. He constantly posts about elevators and rarely about the Sox. 

    I’d love to see it but the pessimist in me says it ain’t happening. I guess what gives me hope is the fact that @Harold's Leg Lifthasn’t shot it down, @Y2Jimmy0mentioned him as a target and Al’s has said they are interested.

    I’ll post the Reddit thread. The dude says will be announced in 24-48 hours. Doesn’t know the package. Would do a ban bet and he’s super confident that’s why he didn’t use a burner lol like Reddit accounts aren’t anonymous already. But it’s still interesting.

    Are the White Sox "done" making moves until spring training?

    I asked James Fegan if the Sox are interested in Quintana and La Stella. 

    His response goes in harmony with what one of the food guys said about a $8 million limit for SP. It seems they are looking for a deal on someone. Sucks if they are hoping La Stella isn’t getting a starting job. I’m sure someone will give it to him.


    This was his response: 

    Not beyond a general sense of they could fit. The party line has been that Nick Madrigal is supposed to be ready for Opening Day, which you could read as posturing for price with someone like La Stella, but both those guys are pursuing assured starting roles, so the Sox would be pouncing in the case they cannot find it.

    In essence, a 5th starter is what's needed.  I've been saying since last Spring, one of either Cease or Kopech needs to end up turning into a TOR stud in order for this rebuild to have been a complete success.  

    Quintana as an affordable #5....yes, sign me up. 

    Yup, and that rotation (outside of Kopech) is extremely durable with Q at 5. Guys that stay healthy and eat innings. I don’t understand why people don’t want Q.

    While I’d expect them in that range for a starter, I’m a little confused as to why they’d have a have a hard cap unless all they have left is $8M or they are already committed to a bat like La Stella.

    That’s what I’m thinking. Reminds me of the Eaton over Brantley stuff. They said signed Eaton to afford Hendriks. Maybe they can only spare 8mil to get that extra bat they want.

    Corey Kluber to Yanks per Passan

    Kluber currently lives in Winchester, Massachusetts. East coast makes a ton of sense to be closer to his family. If the Sox are serious, it's going to be very tough for them to convert with the Yankees involved. They'll most likely need to outbid their competition, and Kluber is really going to have to have a desire to play in Chicago. Yankees also have more glaring holes in the rotation, and therefore a more guaranteed starter role. 

    I do feel like the Yankees could be outbid pretty easily though. They have so many holes to fill and only ~20 million left. They won’t touch the luxury tax and need multiple starters. I think a team like the Sox could take on a few million and win.
