Bob Sacamano Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 QUOTE (SCCWS @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 07:23 AM) Quotes in New England this morning from Dobrowski say several GM's are actively looking to trade this week. http://www.providencejournal.com/article/2...PORTS/151109306 You think teams would want to try making trades for young cost controlled pitching before turning to free agent market giving out 9 figure contracts?

Why? If I were a team with $$ I'd rather sign free agent pitching instead of giving up the prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And usually those contracts look really bad the last couple of years, if not sooner. Plus you are giving up a 1st round pick in many instances.

Flash Tizzle Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 08:00 AM) Hmm sure seems like a strange way to execute a 3 year plan.Last year the plan was vets and now its youngsters. There never was a definite three year plan. Let's not give Williams quote more attention than it deserves. Here is Hahn, the GM, flat out saying we need young, cost controlled talent. He said more right there than Williams ever did with his three year nonsense. If by chance there was, I'm glad they're abandoning it.

I agree. They are always planning for the future. That is what the "board" was for in KW's office. Also, adding cost controlled young players doesn't mean they are stepping away from trying to compete. If anything, it suggests they are willing to trade some young players, and don't want guys with a year or 2 left as the reward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want a Puig type of trade or Adam Eaton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminor3rd Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 06:27 PM) There is so much wrong with this that I don't even know where to start. 1. Why would the Sox want Castro or Ross? 2. Even if they did want them, why would they trade Q or Rodon for them? 3. Who is Hannemann? 4. The Cubs and Sox won't be making any blockbuster deals any time soon. It's green bro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vance Law Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 06:20 PM) http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/white-sox/...hite-soxs-goals Sox looking for younger and cost controlled talent That isn't quite what Hahn said. There isn't a mention of cost. Hahn says, “I think ideally we’re going to be adding pieces, though, that are younger and more controllable for an extended period of time." He says "controllable" in reference to time, not cost. Jason Heyward is younger and the he'll be controllable for an extended period of time. Same with Upton, Rasmus, etc. Not saying we'll get one of those guys, just that Hahn doesn't mention cost.

Yes I meant controllable. But controllable probably meaning more then trying to signing someone to longer contract for being younger. I'm guessing what Hahn is wanting is younger with controlled years before getting to free agency in terms of service time not signing time.
