Soha Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Didn't he already tell us it was a fact that Quintana would be moved before spring training? I mean, this article literally tells us nothing. Thanks Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt that Quintana gets traded until closer to the deadline, unless a team overwhelms us with an offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often does this happen? I am curious because this has been mentioned a lot but I am not sure if this happens every year and how frequently. I know the Cardinals are always good for it but I am not sure if its a forgone conclusion to happen frequently enough that we can count on this being a situation in the next month. I am really curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really curious. It doesn't necessarily have to be in spring training. The position the White Sox are in is pretty unique. I don't think many teams go in to a season waving the white flag from the start like the Sox are doing this year. It generally doesn't motivate ticket sales very well lol. So...it could be a major injury in May. Trades don't often happen in May, but a big part of that is that there usually aren't sellers that early. Well, the Sox will be if what they say is true.

BlackSox13 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Sounds as though the three most interested teams for Q were the Braves, Pirates and Astros and are expected to be competing (Braves?) by the time June/July rolls around and there's likely groundwork already laid from winter talks. The Dodgers have one of the most brittle starting rotations in baseball so I think they end up in the mix for Q. The Mariners expect to contend in the ALW and their rotation has potential for a hole or two. Vogelbach, Lewis and O'Neill would be a great start to negotiating for Q. I'm hesitant to say the Rockies but if they can hang with the Dodgers long enough in the NLW, it's possible the Rockies call about Q when June/July comes around. There's potential for more action as the season gets closer to the deadline but the flipside to this is there could be more pitching available by then if Archer and/or Gray rebound in the first half. None the less, if Hahn has not received the offer he's looking for then waiting is the right move, even if it takes until next off season (which I doubt it does).

Perhaps there is a report I missed, but the Braves GM specifically mentioned he wasn't interested in Quintana after not trading for Chris Sale. http://www.ajc.com/sports/baseball/braves-...asWNBP4ahTgIvO/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the Mariners being a good fit as a Q trade partner. Seattle would have to clean out it's middling at best farm system, which is not likely in their best interests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
