Baron Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 As trade talks pick up around Chris Sale, #WhiteSox scratch him from tonight's start. Matt Albers will go instead. https://twitter.com/bnicholsonsmith/status/...969322300395520 again...Huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 matt albers? I can only laugh. if you had told me in May, at 10 over or whatever, that Albers would be starting a game in July and Chris sale trade speculation would be the reason I'd of told you to f*** off.

Chicago White Sox Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 None of this s*** can be real right? Who are these guys exactly? And Fat Albers starting? Is that really the emergency starter at this point? It all seems fishy to me. I will say this, if they are at all close to dealing Sale, then you don't take a chance with him starting.

daggins Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I just take this as precautionary. But it also means that they have accepted sell mode. So while I don't think a trade is close, its moved from maybe 5% to closer to 15-20% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggins Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 He might have the flu, or he might have the "flu". I still take this as them being serious about moving Sale, or at least posturing that way. They're also punting on 2016, but I guess that was given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Yeah I'd say flu sounds convenient. Trade may not be imminent but may be holding him back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 For any of you with tickets to next Thursday's Cubs-Sox game, you're unlikely to see Sale starting. I'll be at that game and was looking forward to his start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Fireworks Man Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I wonder if they are just saving him for the Cub series. Possibly to go against Arrieta? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
