footlongcomiskeydog Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 02:45 PM) KW and company probably feel a move or two and they can compete once again... They most certainly feel this way. There would have been some movement at the deadline if they felt otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 02:33 PM) To me, getting young guys that are already proven makes a of sense. You still get some cost control, and you lose some of the uncertainty of turning into the next Brien Taylor. To be perfectly honest, I would be just fine if they said Moncada, Benintendi, and Devers for Sale. Done Deal. Obviously, I don't know the specifics of the discussions, but if were dicking around with lottery ticket A Ball players being added im just dumbfounded by it. That's 3 of the top 23 prospects in baseball, 2 of which are performing at a high level in Double A. That's MORE than enough for Chris Sale. This will more than likely be an unpopular take on the proposed Sale packages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 The problem with keeping Sale and Quintana is that they keep you afloat and likely finish around .500, ensuring a mediocre draft pick, and a little less value for each in the offseason.

Soxfest Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 QUOTE (Condor13 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 02:47 PM) Been saying it for a long time, unless KW gets a washed up star the sox don't make any trades. Sox talk a big game at the deadline but do very little ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCCWS Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 03:37 PM) I don't think you move Melky and Frazier, 2 of your 3 best offensive pieces, if you keep Sale and Q. Same could be said for Robertson. So you are all in for 2016???.......................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sale trade isn't happening because they won't include both Moncada and Benintendi...not because they will include both but we want throw ins...

This will more than likely be an unpopular take on the proposed Sale packages I would agree, if we had those three in a deal, I'm game. I'd ask for more, but I'd be in general, okay. I'd probably sweeten it with Robertson to add Swihart to the package and call it a day (would push for more, but would settle at that). I just don't know if Boston has / would offer. None of us will ever really know (unless the trade happens). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you may get burned but you will also likely have a better team next year and a better future for years to come if those guys pan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
