QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 04:22 PM) If someone offered 1 billion dollars for Chris Sale do you think the white sox accept? Edit: nobody respond to this. Yes. I just wanted to respond.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 04:04 PM) Kaplan brought up something on the radio this afternoon I laughed at, but I'm still thinking about it 2 hours later, which I'm not sure what that means.. Tom Ricketts calls up Reinsdorf and says "Listen, a World Series is vital to us this year, and we think Sale is the final piece. We just signed Theo to an 8 year deal, but we'll trade you the contract of Theo and his staff for Chris Sale." I honestly didn't know what to think. Jesus, Tony, stop listening to Kaplan. Cause my head hurts now.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 01:34 PM) Heyman: NYY would decline Giolito for Miller I mean...

START THE RUMORS Or don't.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 03:09 PM) Even if Boston was willing to do Betts straight up for Sale (and I don't think they would), it still doesn't make sense for this team. All you're doing is filling one hole and creating another, and it's not like there's a bunch of SP prospects banging on the door in our farm. It's completely pointless. If Sale is traded you need to fill multiple holes, not just one. Exactly. You can argue that Betts is just as(if not more) valuable as Sale but if you're trading Chris it has to be for a package of players. A one for one deal makes no sense for our Sox at this point.

What do you think scouts that are sent to watch Sale report back at this point? "Uh, ya he's still good."

Ya, I fell in love with Jenna on her real world season. She's a competition beast too which is hilarious.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 06:49 AM) Why did your boy have to win? I see what you did there.

Why was that HoH comp so damn long?

Fulmer's had 2 bad games, I don't think it's fair to jump on the omgz he isn't ready bandwagon.

I like some weird and colorful stuff but not a fan of that hat at all.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 11:44 AM) Some folks just can't be positive at all There's nothing wrong with actually analyzing the situation as well.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 09:22 AM) Or he had a bad stretch followed by a good stretch. Nailed it. He obviously wasn't the worst pitcher of all time when we first got him and he's not as good as he's pitching right now.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 11:20 AM) Lol we'll never learn will we? People were saying the exact same thing last year! "We have Rodon, Q and Sale, plus Eaton and Abreu as our core. Just need some tweaking.. If it doesn't work then blow it up next season." I read this basic phrase all last year around the deadline. I just don't understand how minor tweaking fixes this mess. Or, with a baron minor league system and weak FA class, how'd we would accomplish it. But I'm sure when we fail again next year we'll just fall for the same false hope come 2018 This. I was one of those people last year and nope, not falling into that trap ever again with this organization.

So Raw's first show with the brand split is one of the better shows in years and Smackdown's was a big pile of s***. I am excited for Shelton though, was always a fan.

I hate this team so much.

Meh. Ya, I've become that guy.

Best Raw ever.

There were some duds but overall I really enjoyed it much more than I was expecting. Bayley's debut and KO-Sami are all I need in my life anyways.

Definition of hypocritical. What a joke.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 12:11 PM) Just to frame the package for a HoF caliber pitcher under control for what a #3 or #4 starter makes, in his prime, in a thin pitching market when pitchers are getting absurd deals. Think of the biggest return ever in a trade in MLB history. That's what Sale's price is. And Quintana's? He really hasn't been all that much less productive than Sale the last 3 years, makes less and is under control for an extra year. Super interesting.

So serious question: Just how much better than Quintana is Sale? I ask, cause the more I think about this if I'm just trading one I think it would be Chris.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 11:14 AM) There is no easy path to build without him. That is the fallacy here. There's no easy path here, period. But the path of trying to build around Sale and Q has led us to 0 playoff appearances in 5 years now.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 12:55 AM) My shiny new signature is better than yours and says it all... This is pretty great.

I mean, Russell isn't Correa and Bryant isn't a "starting point" for Sale as he's one of the guys in baseball that's more valuable than Chris. I don't know why we have to go so far in either direction discussing a deal.
