Legitimate chance of Sale trade to #Nationals per Rosenthal

[Baron 444]

I dont mind giving the rest of the teams one last chance to send in offers and then close this thing up.

Severino really isn't a good prospect. Better than what we have, sure, but not exciting

Would rather not he be one of the pieces. I'd prefer to take a piece with some upside and find a catcher elsewhere.

Same.

Bowden: The White Sox and Nationals are far down the road on a trade that will send Chris Sale to the Nationals in exchange for Lucas Giolito, Victor Robles and a low minor leaguer. Reynaldo Lopez and Koda Glover will not be in the proposed deal. The structure of the deal was first reported by Ken Rosenthal.

The Nationals have a lot of those same types of pieces. They don't get as much hype as they aren't in the Boston media market, but as I outlined a few pages ago, they can load up a deal with the best of them. The one spot they don't have as much of is ready made position players, but they are loaded with them at the lower levels of the minors, all of the way through to some big time guys signed out of Latin America.

That's good to hear, so hard to get info on those levels.

Entire #Nats baseball ops department currently at dinner. Certainly looks like any deal for Sale isn't on the verge of completion.

[southsider2k5 4,860]

Here is my complete guess as something plausible to get a deal done

 

Giolitto, Robles, Severino, Soto and Fedde.

[Jose Abreu 2,020]

If that's true, this is a depressing night.

If teams are this dug in about what prospects are going it's not going to get any better more than likely. You have to trade him now. You probably cant do it at the deadline and his value drops next offseason.

Bowden saying Lopez would not be in the proposed deal. That would be a bummer, but Bowden is kind of a moron.

Oh. Gross. Hope negotiations up that times a lot.

3 players for Sale sounds super light. You would think there would be some quantity to go with the quality.

That'd be a f***ing brutal trade.

[Bigsoxhurt35 120]

I'll f***ing protest if they make that trade LOL

 

 

Bowden is a dumbass anyways

I sure hope not

[steveno89 278]

Probably profiles at best a platoon, defensive catcher.

 

Any word as to what other pieces out of Ross, fedde, kieboom, lopez, severino, neuse, dunning, etc we are getting?

[bmags 4,590]

Must be why it's not that close yet. Would imagine the rounding out is only getting discussed now.

[Y2Jimmy0 1,366]

Giolito is #1 pitching prospect in baseball. Solid chance that Riobles is top 3 prospect in baseball next year. Fedde is very good too but Reynaldo Lopez would be pretty disgusting haul.

[NCsoxfan 177]

Wow that would suck if that's the package

[Jose Abreu 2,020]

Urias is #1 pitching prospect in baseball.

Fixed

Bowden doesn't know s***. Rosenthal reported earlier the Sox would get Giolito/Robles and "much more". 0 chance they trade Sale for just 3 prospects.

Gross if that's the whole deal.

[Buehrle>Wood 559]

This mindset is ridiculous. Giolito was ranked higher than Turner, Bregman, & Benintendi by Baseball America in their mid-season update. Only difference is he's a pitcher and he struggled in his first major league opportunity. And honestly, that's the only reason he's even available. Had he performed as well as those other guys in his cup of coffee he would not be available either. And why Urias is a big name player, but Giolito is not? What am I missing here? And Robles is as good of a second piece as you're going to get. This proposed Nationals offer is far from settling if there are another few quality pieces in the deal. The idea we have to get Bregman or Benintendi or the trade is a epic fail is f***ing stupid.

And still none of what you said changes that their best piece is still Turner. The Sox are not the ones who would be closing off and rushing negotiations when they fail to include that.
