Interesting
A swap of disappointing prospects more or less. I guess Teahen isn’t a prospect anymore, he will fit in well with the Sox. Fields probably needed to go after having some interesting things to say at the trade deadline
Just say no to players named Aaron on the Cubs.
Interesting, indeed.
I’m curious to see the reaction to this deal.

I'm curious to see where Dye ends up, too
Not that he’s going to the Cubs, but he could help someone – and it might affect the market for MB.

I can't imagine a team wanting him to actually play the field
He has been horrid out there the past few years. Still you are right because getting Dye as a FA is probably a better plan for an AL team than trading for two years of MB
Just say no to players named Aaron on the Cubs.
i prefer this for the royals
barely … what does teahen really bring to the table to justify him as a starting rf? It’s not like I’m big on Getz or Fields …
that said, getz or fields likely don’t slot as starters in kc either … so the only benefit for the royals may be to save money … if so, it’ll be curious how they reinvest it …
Do the Royals actually plan to platoon Gordon?
Inspector #23 certifies that the above post is sarcasm free, most certainly not what she said, and chock full of intangibles, although regressing to the intangible mean, as you'd expect.
Or does Fields go to 1B and compete with Jacobs?

Maybe
Jacobs can’t hit LHP and is a clod in the field.

Kila Ka'aihue is a better 1B prospect than Josh Fields.

Wow.
Move over Shane Victorino! The Hawaiian Invasion is on!

Actually Butler played more 1st than Jacobs
Jacobs will probably be released. A .228 DH? I think they could do better.
another guy often mentioned as coming to the Cubs ...
ends up with the White Sox. Maybe Brian Roberts is next?
I do think this hints at Kenny Williams having a bigger plan at second base
Perhaps not Roberts, but I do think he has somebody in mind.
Just say no to players named Aaron on the Cubs.
ha -- we'll send Miles and MB to the South Side
for Alex Rios.
Ack - not sure who gets the better
side of that deal. If Rios keeps sucking, that’s a very Sorianoesque contract.
if this was still new to me, i wouldn't understand
would make for an interesting ...
Crosstown Classic.
I supported the idea of bringing Teahen here last offseason.
But he had a pretty average season with the Royals. It’s too bad he’s going to the South Side because he immediately enters my [poop] list.
Teahen's career OPS is .749
He’s never hit 20 HR or driven in 70 runs in a single season, and the Sox want him to play RF? I’m really glad the Cubs didn’t make this move.

Hold the presses!
This may not be a done deal just yet:
@Royals_Report: Now hearing talks between #Royals and #White Sox are stalled. Players still haven’t been told. Physicals usually needed before completion.
@Royals_Report is Bob Dutton, a Royals beat reporter.

Scandal!

Next thing you know...
…THEY’RE GOING TO TRADE FOR ADAM LIND!!!!

But heaven forbid they should go after a certain former
2B/1B/SS/3B/LF/RF . That would be too painful.

Smart deal for the Sox
Josh Fields has minimal value and Chris Getz is strictly serviceable. Meanwhile Mark Teahan provides a lot of versatility and hits from the left side of the plate.
Plus, it looks like the Sox want to move Gordon Beckham to 2nd base, leaving Teahan to handle 3rd base until Dayan Viciendo is ready to take over.

I thought they were going to move Beckham to shortstop.
By the way, I’m still not sure this Teahen deal has actually gone through.

Start the presses! Done deal!
@Royals_Report: It’s done. #Royals sending Mark Teahen and cash to #White Sox for Chris Getz and Josh Fields.
