Joel Sherman ‏@Joelsherman1 29s29 seconds ago An exec from another team that has pursued Sale believes it is 80/20 that deal gets done that sends LH ace to #Nationals

Christopher Crawford ‏@Crawford_MILB 9s9 seconds ago Carlos Rodon, Luc Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez, Carson Fulmer, Alec Hansen, Zack Burdi. Strikeouts are pretty cool.

JJ Cooper ‏@jjcoop36 2m2 minutes ago Arlington, VA If White Sox do trade Sale to Nats, not as slam dunk as you might think whether the ask should be Giolito over Reynaldo Lopez.

QUOTE (ChiSox1917 @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 09:31 PM) In no Turner, I think they need one of Lopez/Fedde, and then 2 more prospects to make that deal fair Kieboom and Dunning please.

I know people are in love with Boston and Houston prospects, but Giolito and Robles is nothing to sneeze at. Im fully on the Robles train though.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 09:19 PM) That kinda seems like a thing. Now you wait for word from other interested clubs. Bingo.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 09:18 PM) Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 41s41 seconds ago Sources: Legitimate chance of Sale trade to #Nationals. Robles, Giolito would go to #WhiteSox. Teams haggling over final pieces in deal. Oh snap. Now let's have Boston and Houston jump in. Go Hahn go.

Jon Heyman‏ @JonHeyman Nats don't think they have prospects to get both sale and McCutchen. But as said earlier, they seem focused on sale now

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 07:59 PM) Josh is a nice and smart guy, I think he's getting a little impatient as most of us are though. Yup. Josh is a good fellow.

Some good Hahn quotes on Twitter about the current approach. Would post them if I wasn't at work. Sure sounds like a rebuild.

Posture posture.

QUOTE (bjm676 @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 02:51 PM) Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 33s33 seconds ago Sources: #Nationals more focused on Sale than Cutch. #WhiteSox likely would get Robles, Giolito, much more. No indication deal is close. Yes please.

I might be the only one, but Robles. Truly believe he's going to be a stud. Those tools, premium position. He could be the top prospect in baseball in short order.

JJ Cooper‏ @jjcoop36 Hmm, Lopez/Robles/Giolito/Fedde/Kieboom/Dunning/Neuse/Stevenson...Still hard to see how they could do both, but Nats are creative.

Bob Nightengale‏ @BNightengale The #Nats are actually trying to trade for Chris Sale AND Andrew McCutchen and believe they have the prospects to pull off both trades. Wat. How.

Peter Gammons‏ @pgammo One team who sought Rich Hill thinks he has deal with the Dodgers, 3 Years $40m +

Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 4m4 minutes ago The Houston #Astros getting poised to pull off a #Cubs season by adding Beltran, Reddick and McCann this winter, and still pursuing Sale

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 10:11 PM) Didn't he just have the TJS? Indeed.

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeyman 1m1 minute ago Manhattan, NY hear pirates want top OF prospect robles plus a top young SP (giolito, lopez, ross presumably would fit) in Cutch package And for the love of god, can we spell McCutchen's name correctly in this thread title?

Mention in Heyman article that Eaton is a Washington option.

Good. Don't half-ass the rebuild. Sell high. Should bring a substantial return.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 1, 2016 -> 10:43 PM) Merkin doesn't currently see this to be the case even If he did say it. I wouldn't put much stock in it. Bummer.
