QUOTE (oneofthemikes @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 07:44 PM) BBTN just had a segment about Sale and what it would take to get him. Boston - Said Bogaerts and Betts are totally off limits and that Moncada, Benentendi, Kopech, and Swihart was too much. Said Moncada, Kopech, Swihart, and Eduardo Rodriguez was a fair return for the White Sox. Rangers - Said Mazara, Gallo, Profar, and Dillon Tate was too much and that Mazara, Profar OR Gallo, Luis Ortiz, and Dillon Tate was a fair return. I don't think I'm good with either of the "fair" packages. Especially with some of the trades that have already happened in the past couple weeks. Three and a half years of a top 5 pitcher in baseball on an extremely team friendly deal is going to have to be an unprecedented package of talent in return and I'm not seeing that in the afore mentioned proposals. I hate this f***ing show but it perfectly sums up what I think of BBTN and their stupidity regarding Sale's value...

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 07:31 PM) I joked about this in the winner thread so here we go: White Sox get: C Lucroy RP Will Smith Brewers get: Fulmer, Adams, 3B Trey M., and Jordan Stephens White Sox get: OF Jay Bruce and eat all of his salary Reds get: Jordan Guerrero, Courtney Hawkins White Sox get: RP Arodys Vizcaino Braves get: Engel, May, Danish JR and KW say f*** it and go for it! LOL had to after this Cubs win. Sox giving it one last run and deplete and already bare farm system just to piss off SoxTalk. Oh... And I'm sure the Reds will get a top prospect.

Sadly - not enough this year even if it went down like that. 2017 would be looking nice thou. Which is scary when considering the prospect of this front office flipping a switch. Sell, sell, sell.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 02:18 PM) Media is talking about it picking up over the weekend. I'm curious if it'll pickup around Qs next start. Yup. I just hope we start hearing specific and credible WS rumors.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 11:42 AM) Or play a revolting style of baseball. Maybe my memory is off but I thought they had been playing better on the road this year compared to home Edit: incorrect 4 over at home 5 under on the road

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 11:05 AM) I would pass on that St.Louis deal in .000001 seconds. Yup

Thanks. Here's their conclusion for those who haven't read it:

I was born 9 weeks premature and spent the first 9 months of my life in an incubator. My best friends son was born 14 weeks premature while he was driving his wife to the hospital. She delivered in the car. We both are alive and well. Keep the faith and find strength in your heart man. Your beautiful son and your amazing wife need you. We're all here for you brother.

Hi Ron, I regret opening this thread. Best Regards, -me

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 09:04 PM) The whole Robin is the one that has to fight for us in that department...that he (Ventura) was essentially "selling out" by backing ownership/marketing over the concerns of players that were clearly expressed on multiple occasions before that day? Curious the spin is defending Sale more than backing Ventura/Hahn. 1.) I don't see it as "spin" - just an article citing pretty damned objectively what Sale said in his recent interview. 2.) It is a managers job to put his players in the best position to win. I'd say that's a pretty universally accepted objective part of managing a pro sports team as well. 3.) According to Sale - he brought up this uniform issue to the team during offseason fitting - stating then that, "he wouldn't wear them on his day to pitch." He brought it up the day before the game... Then again before the game on the day of. I just see this as new information. 4.) In the end - he still said what he did was wrong... And it was. I'm in no way defending Sale's actions - they were absurd. At this point thou - it's time to just f***ing move on. Hopefully Sale can use this in that way as well. Move on ( like he claims to be seeking to ) and respond more maturely next time. Or, f*** it -- just hire Eclhart Tolle as an "Ego Consultant" for the entire team. There, that's the best solution possible.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 09:13 PM) Marlins have absolutely nothing to trade. Poop

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 09:14 PM) Cool then we'll keep Q and trade Sale. It really doesn't matter what you think because we don't have to trade them now. Ding ding ding.... Final round over. Judges score cards are and and the winner by unanimous decision is... ptatc.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 07:50 PM) Seeing as they have Bogaerts at short for a while and Pedroia locked up for the next 5 years at second, isn't this the type of deal you'd move Moncada in? To get a front of the rotation arm locked up for next 3+ years? They'll never find a better trade target than Sale.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 07:56 PM) Oh my god if we got Kolek for Gonzalez I'd never stop laughing. Right.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 08:54 PM) Shocked and happy they could win this game. At least they won't get swept. As far as the bullpen? Words fail me. Mark I really see it as another example of Robin / Cooper using the pen right. Leading with Albers in the 9th... First bad mark. Leaving Jennings in there to face Rizzo, second bad mark. That's just off the top of my head after casually watching the inning while driving home.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 08:53 PM) We don't really know that. They haven't committed to blowing it up. They're open minded and listening. That's all we know. What if they go 5-2 this week? They can easily change their mind and buy or stand pat. The record of this week shouldn't indicate their deadline approach. The offers they are presented with and the viability of converting on trade targets should. Period. End of story. ( for me at least )

I don't understand what the big fuss is about his statements. He took responsibility, said there was regret on his end, expressed no continued ill will, and still believes in his underlying concern.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 07:43 PM) If Sox win 2 or 3 against the Cubs and then win 2/3 against the Twins, does anyone here think they will sell? I honestly don't think they trade away anyone. They damn well should. Edit: They'd be just a couple games over .500 - likely about 7 out of first and have at least 6 teams in front of them in the wild card. Add to that fact, they'd have about 20 something games against central division teams who they are playing at a ~.200 clip against. Sell, sell, and sell.
