southsider2k5 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Interesting to see that the number was put at 4 more deals they want to make. Q, Robertson for sure. Frazier was one we saw a lot of rumors about. Who was #4? Abreu? Cabrera? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Wow, two deals fell through at the ownership approval stage...wonder what deals those were? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is Washington For Robertson due to money and Q /Cutch/NY due to who the f*** knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that seems to make sense to me. I could have seen the PIT/NYY three way also falling apart due to money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reiks12 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Definitely the Pirates owner since they are looking to trade Cutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reiks12 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 If 2 trades came down to money then im not going to lie that is a little frustrating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 13, 2017 -> 06:22 PM) I'd imagine Q, Robertson, Frazier and Jones. I'd say Melky over Jones. Honestly, I don't they are very motivated to move Jones right now, they probably figure he can greatly improve his value with some closing experience.

For me, Jones is the bridge to Burdi as the closer in the next (and long overdue) competitive Sox team. Trade Robertson now, hopefully for a return consistent with what we've seen thus far in the rebuild, and then hope Jones plays well enough to bring back another quality return in July. By then Burdi may be ready to step in and take over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 This is a complete side note but have found it funny ever since the winter meetings. What is up with RH always saying "if we had our druthers..."? It's got to be the fourth or fifth time I have heard him use it since the Eaton deal. Can he come up with something new? It's getting to the point where it's a tad bit annoying for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting to the point where it's a tad bit annoying for me. lol I was thinking the same thing. I feel like they are a pair of khakis or something and he should just go out and buy some "druthers" so he can have them and we can resume making trades.
