Jeff Samardzija suitors still haven't gotten a definitive signal #WhiteSox will deal him. Sox only 5 out in AL wild card.

I'm going to be pissed if the don't move him cause they are delusional thinking they can still compete. 10 games since the all star break and they went 5-5 through today to be at the same place of 4 games under .500 when they went on break. They need to move him if the get a package they like.

The Chicago #Whitesox plan to see how they fare vs #Redsox this series before determining Samardzija's fate.

Playing well against teams not playing as well vs playing 2 good teams out of all star break and going 1-5 is a great way tell if you can compete.

Could it be a tactic to try to get more?

 

I wish. But I sorta doubt it. I really think that there are people in the organization that think they're gonna make a real run out of this. I want to believe that too, but this is the third really good stretch of the season and they always regress.

More likely a case of now being only 4.5 GB of the Twins with a middling TB and Detroit ahead of them and only 1.5 GB of Toronto and Baltimore.

 

Like it or not, this team has played itself into contention the past 5 days.

@philgrogers: White Sox want the best bat they can get for Samardzija. With improved fielding, they can slide Erik Johnson into rotation and compete.

 

 

@philgrogers: Also, don't rule White Sox out for big move this week. To make one they'd deal Quintana, not Samardzija, & count on starter depth long term.

Could have easily been 3-3, and all the teams we're competing with for that 2nd wildcard are very mediocre.

@philgrogers: With Quintana out of picture, 2016 White Sox rotation would have Sale, Rodon, Danks & 2 from Fulmer/Johnson/Drabek/Beck/Montas/Danish mix.

 

My ideal situation is trading Q and M. Johnson for Puig, and then extending Samardzija

If I'm doing Q for Puig straight up I'd try to find a way to dump some dead weight instead of a decent prospect. Maybe I'm overvaluing Q but Puig's value has got to be pretty low (for him at least) right now,

JP Morosi said he could see Sox going after Tulo earlier today on MLBN

 

 

Wow, that would be a shocker.

 

Still hesitant about adding an NL bat in the middle of a pennant race, but you'd be crazy not to consider it.

 

The problem is that Ramirez has actually looked pretty good the last 2-3 weeks.

 

And that would surely mean they're trading half the minor league system.

 

Most importantly, does Tulo really want to play for the Sox? Does he have the right to refuse a trade to the Sox...do we know the list of protected teams he can't be traded to?
