southsider2k5 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 08:30 PM) After the Bacon/Balls/Dicks trade scenario Castro was my second thought. The Marlins Danks rumors coupled with the big deal the Marlins made with the Astros, the fact that we may have had interest in Cosart, etc. there could have been something there, and the 2 teams just decided it would be easier to make a standard 2 team deal rather than involve all the salary complications the Sox side would involve. But if it was Castro coming here, Danks and cash going to FLA, prospects from the Sox heading out etc. that could make some sense. Bacon, dicks, and balls is your first though? Hmmm...

Chicago White Sox Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 10:13 AM) Hahn was on 670 this morning and said that it was for a long targeted player. He also said that it "could" be revisited in the offseason. I'm going with Yasmani Grandal. He was in the lineup and warming up and then was scratched for no reason. Sox have been interested in the past. Yup, I also think it was Grandal, with Viciedo likely the player we would have shipped out. Even if we had to include a decent prospect, that's a deal I make 10 out of 10 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDF Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 my problem with Grandal is his hitting. he plays 1b and catcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerksticks Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Long-targeted, could be revisited, and hope to tell the fan base sometime are the key parts of his quotes, as some have suggested. We want this mystery guy bad so who is it? Our approach under KW/RH is to grab damn-near MLB-ready guys. I woul guess the following: Not a 3B- why use Reed's value to get a guy that isn't your guy anyway. Not a MI- just due to depth. Franklin wouldn't be revisited now. Not 1B- c'mon. MLB ready C, OF or Pitcher by default? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 After thinking about this some more, JR Murphy is a likely candidate as well. I'll be honest, I'm not impressed by his minor league numbers at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahn said during an interview today that he still is hoping to trade for this particular target. I believe he said he hopes to introduce him to the fans this winter.

MLB ready C, OF or Pitcher by default? good process of elimination. after the trade deadline, I was scouring the fa list coming up and I really don't see a catcher that knock my sox off. so I still think it still might be a mlb ready catcher. murphy or sanchez from yank. pitchers, we need more mlb pitchers either / and / or relief pitchers.

2nd_city_saint787 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 MLBTR Is saying the Reds were dangling Mat Latos...I wonder if they also would trade Homer Bailey and he's the guy Hahn was talking about.

He obviously fits the bill of a guy the Sox have long wanted. Who are we going to trade for him that won't cost key players from the major league roster (Alexei Ramirez to take Cozart's place?) or half our minor league prospects? Not a good match for their asking price (like Hamels with the Phillies, we can't afford to take on that type of contract and give up 3-5 top prospects).

First and foremost the Sox CAN take on any contract. A deal however would be hard to come by. Just speculating on a guy who the Sox have been linked to for awhile now.

I would like your opinion. imho my thoughts will be yes. Yes I believe they will. Not necessarily a free agent position player but maybe a pitcher (Scherzer, Lester, Shields) all come to mind that would fit well in between Sale and Quintana. Other than that, I expect a busy winter with trades for position players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really hoping the payroll is back up around 80-90M next year. That would mean they spent about 30-40M which should mean we have a quality RH starter, a quality bat or 2, and some quality arms in the pen.

Yea and he will get a lot more than 75mil, I say minimum 20 a yr. I don't really want Masterson, is like the sox to get someone that we know what to expect like shields. Masterson is just awful right now and what if we sign him thinking he can be fixed but he stays awful?
