southsider2k5 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 31, 2017 -> 03:41 PM) I'm on the fence to be honest. Part of me agrees the cubs should have to overpay but the other part me doesn't really care because adding Happ, Candelario and Jimenez would be a huge boost to a farm that could use more quality hitting prospects. Candelario is ready now.Happ could be ready for the '18 season and adding Jimenez to Basabe ( both outfielders) down in A ball would be fun to keep track of. Taking the rivalry aspect of it out of the equation. Those three hitters for Q is probably pretty close to fair value. Now bring the rivalry back into the equation ask ourselves, how much more will it take? This is the part I get hung up on because I'm not sure how much that "rivalry tax" is worth. Throw in Eddy Martinez and I am good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havent we already ran through about all the possibilities like 1000 times through, if not more, for each possibility multiple times? One aspect you over looked is that we are obviously bored.

I wouldn't object to Caratini as a fourth piece either. I think Happ, Jimenez , Candelario plus one of Martinez/Caratini is pretty reasonable for both sides.

I think Happ, Jimenez , Candelario plus one of Martinez/Caratini is pretty reasonable for both sides. I could care less who we trade Q to if it means we are getting the best package in return, even if that comes from the Cubs A high profile deal like this is unlikely because if it goes wrong one team will have regret for years Quintana could make sense for the Cubs due to the 4 years and relatively low cost because it would allow them to still spend on free agents moving forward Replacing Arrieta (potentially and Lackey after this season is not going to be cheap. The Cubs window is right now before all their young guys get more expensive after hitting their arbitration years. The Sox would want at least one interesting arm to go along with Jimenez, Happ and Candelario, but it would add Quintana without subtracting from the mlb roster at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDWhiteSoxFan Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I absolutely hate this thread...

This offseason has been extremely boring and there hasn't been a new rumor for quite some time, so we're forced to talk about the same recycled topics over and over again.

It's a thread for discussing rumors and trade proposals about Q. No one is forcing anyone to read. If people want to know if there's any recent news for Q, I suggest googling Jose Quintana or check out twitter. That's what I do and I don't even have a twitter account.
