Interesting but Crane appears to be senile, I get Chapman but in what universe could Sale's contract be considered 'bad'? He's under team control for 3 more years with $13M in guaranteed money or 13% of what the Dbacks have guaranteed to Greinke over the next 3 years, a pitcher 5 years his senior.

Suddenly, with a surplus of draft picks, the pain of giving up top prospects for Quintana or someone else could be eased. “We’re hoping that something will break,” Crane said. “It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that ... getting two picks from the Cardinals gives us more depth in the system.

Jim Crain flat out saying they are trying to get Quintana. This is a good sign. Thanks, Bob. Holy s***, nice find. Honestly, I'd be shocked if Quintana is on our team come February 14th, with the Astros the obvious favorites. That basically leaves 11 days to get a deal done.

Yeah, I read the article. I don't see any quotes from Crane that mention Q. That doesn't mean they are not going to push harder now, but that guy's post wasn't exactly accurate.

I know the guys on the CSN Sox podcast were speculating him wanting to stay in Chicago and signing with the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're inferring, there's nothing explicit in the article. Nightengale is insinuating which is fun but there's nothing definitive here, he's just rehashing the 2 names that have been in the mainstream for awhile now.

Nightengale is insinuating which is fun but there's nothing definitive here, he's just rehashing the 2 names that have been in the mainstream for awhile now. Fair enough, but what can't be disputed is that the Astros are still looking to add a TOR starter and that it appears the owner himself is eager to add one. And it doesn't take a giant leap to assume Quintana is one of their top targets. I still consider this a plus even if the owner didn't specifically mention Quintana.

Chicago White Sox Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 A big plus from this interview is that Luhnow can no longer play the "we're good with what we have" card. That doesn't mean we have the upper hand or anything, but it does take away a certain level of posturing and should hopefully lead to more productive dialogue between the two clubs. Again, I'm really optimistic something will happen here in the next 11 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneofthemikes Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Interesting that he mentions Chapman and "slamming the door" in the article. Possible that Robertson is packaged up with Q for another body or two? Maybe something like a 6 for 2 swap? Q and DRob for Tucker, Reed, Paulino, Perez, Laureano, and Stubbs?

I believe the Astros did try to sign Robertson and even offered him slightly more money when we signed him so its plausible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Well if the Astros new bounty of pics helps the Sox I'm all for it. That said on a sidenote I'm not really sure how much the Astros were hurt that warranted them getting those pics. To be sure the Cards were advantaged and were rightly penalized. I don't really see why they should've gone to the Astros. Yes They were embarrassed a bit by some of the revelations like Luhnow thinking that a team would actually give him a top prospect for Lucas Harrel.

ChiSoxFanMike Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Prediction - Jose Guillermo Quintana is traded for Kyle Tucker, Francis Martes, Ramon Laureano, and the 75th pick on February 10th at EXACTLY 3:24 PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
