How are the Sox going to get Kyle Tucker? For Quintana?
he's about worthless now. Sox could have had Tucker but greed got the better of them. I would also abandon all hope for Robert as well.

RMR 1:07 Am I missing something with these reports of the White Sox being in on Robert? Seems like they would be less likely considering they're the only of the rumored teams to have not blown their pool amount already. Eric A Longenhagen 1:07 They're on him and have more or less set the market at this point http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/eric-lon ... il-finale/ Tucker/Moncada/Robert the 2020 rebuilt OF awakens this sleeping giant. |

He's toast. ERA of like 8 in his last 10 starts. The contract doesn't matter if the player isn't any good. Realistically he's worth a fringe top 100 guy or two for a team looking to buy a bounceback. His value is already half what it was in December when Rick Hahn and Kenny decided they were only going to trade him for a Sale-like haul. |

Every guy in big league history has had bad four game stretches. You guys are ridiculous. Quintana's value is no different than it was during Spring Training. Weren't you talking about how Robertson was done too? I remember when Gio Gonzales was "finished" too. Now he might be the best pitcher in baseball. |

Quintana sucked at the end of last year too. figured he was just fatigued. nope. he looks worse than his numbers this year. probably wrecked his arm with that big bender he used to have. |

Beginning of the season slumps are always overblown, because they create dumb, inaccurate statistics. For example, a RP giving up a 3 run homer in the 7th inning of his first game (but then recording 3 outs), has an ERA of 27.00. People get all bent out of shape. In June, that same 3 run homer moves the guy's ERA from 3.74 to 3.91. And nobody cares. Same goes for SP. A tough 3 or 4 game stretch results in "Player X is broken" at the beginning of the season. But in June, it's "he hit a rough patch with some tough opponents, maybe a tired arm." |

Its a comprehensive failure to self scout and anticipate Quintana's fall, not to mention the willful stupidity of demanding their (outlandish) price be met and then acting like toddlers when its not. The handling of the Quintana situation alone should call into question the desire of the front office to rebuild and even more their ability to actually pull off a rebuild correctly. Its a staggering amount of incompetence. It made no sense to hold onto him this offseason and now they are paying dearly for their stubborness. The guy isn't even helping them win games this season. So already, less than one baseball month into the rebuild, they have cost themselves at least one highly regarded prospect by holding onto Quintana past his expiration date. When they miss out on Robert, which knowing Kenny and Jerry I very nearly assure you will happen, they'll also blow their mulligan on making up for lost ground by botching the Quintana situation. The most frustrating part is the success of Gonzalez, Holland and Shields (plus Robertson! Who saw that coming?), provided it can be sustained another month or so, would've put them in a tremendous deadline position to stack even more talent into the system. But that really doesn't matter much when the MLB roster is too good to get a top 5 draft pick in 2018, the front office inexplicably reviles the international FA system (their lack of participation in it is bizarre) and massively important player assets are mismanaged and wasted. Once Robert signs elsewhere that will be three blue chip cornerstone pieces the Sox just let pass by for no good reason. They honestly could not be fucking this up more even if they were trying. |

You know how I feel about Quintana. His W/L record is gonna be a game or two under .500 on a shit team and a game or two over on a good team. |

The last four years you argued with everyone except brogue and I that Quintana sucks. Now that everyone is starting to agree Quintana's pretty damn good actually! |

He's locked in right now. But he did shut down the Sox in 2 of his 5 starts so far. |

This may actually happen. First time I've felt like the chances of signing him are substantial. Still think St Louis could easily swoop in. |

He isn't consistently dominating offenses in the way he has in recent years, but we're talking about a sample size of 8 at the end of the day. |

Jeff Passan wrote that Robert may have already made his decision and it'll be announced tomorrow. Popular opinion is that the White Sox and Cardinals are the two front runners. |
