bmags Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Oh I think the Mariners are being the mariners, wildly flailing around to look like they are being proactive, just interesting to find those that may get desparate for a move.

PorkChopExpress Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 03:27 PM) So, the Mariners pitching staff is awfully awful. They just traded for Miley from the Bosox, and are in on Adam Lind at 1b. They seem to be going for it. I wonder if we would be trade partners at all. Do they have anything interesting beside Alex Jackson, whom I'm guessing would be untouchable for them. What do you think of Ketel Marte?

bmags Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I unfortunately know very little of other clubs farm systems, and know next to nothing about west coast teams and their players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Meh, KW can't help himself. He wants to make a splash like last season. Watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 So far the meetings are starting out slow. I think last year there were more trades than like the previous 5 years or so combined (or something crazy like that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggins Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Preller is on a short leash this year, so things are going to be less crazy. The Dodgers are definitely making a splash though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to acquire average talent. Kenny must like mediocrity. Its almost like he makes a few moves. Hopes for regression from the rest of the division and then figures we can win the whole damn thing. Then reload the following year and do it again. Dan HayesVerified account @CSNHayes From sound of things, #WhiteSox don't intend to trade any of their top starting pitchers. Prospect arms or relievers likelier.t Goodbye Spencer Adams and Fulmer. Kenny has a mythical world series to win this year. Odds are for suckers. He has a believe wristband and prospects to trade.

LDF Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 if the sox were going to go with a big bat as many are expecting, and it will be ok for them to sacrifice a draft pick, why not Chris Davis??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 It's been a very quiet start to the meetings. I fear that the Sox may not do much. I know there's still a few days left in the meetings and plenty of time afterwards, but I really expected to see some action by now...or at least hear some promising rumors. Hopefully today is the day when something happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxFanMike Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 This could be out of the box, but what if the Sox signed Chris Davis to play third base? That would be interesting to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reiks12 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Rick Hahn on MLB Network Talked about "untouchables", Chris Sale, Jose Abreu, and Jose Quintana Interesting note, while Hahn was talking about the untouchables he said "Carlos, err... Jose Quintana". Rodon is not an untouchable? Or maybe he has Cargo on the mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe he was thinking Rodon but wants people to think Q is untouchable. All this AJ Pollock stuff, I would trade Q straight up for him in a heartbeat.
