http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-0597630963614228341-4 Bowden saying Lopez would not be in the proposed deal. That would be a bummer, but Bowden is kind of a moron.

Mark Zuckerman ‏@MarkZuckerman 8m8 minutes ago Entire #Nats baseball ops department currently at dinner. Certainly looks like any deal for Sale isn't on the verge of completion.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 10:25 PM) Been reading a lot about him last 30 minutes. Pretty damn impressive I him so.

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeyman 14s15 seconds ago Nats frontrunner. But as @BNightengale said, no sense the others are out yet on sale. Door not closed on the rest.

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 47s48 seconds ago Maryland, USA If Sale is eventually traded, today, next few days, next few weeks, you start thinking how deep on the roster the rebuild could run Trade it all!

Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 34s34 seconds ago The #WhiteSox say they're still having trade talks with several teams about Chris Sale, and no deal with #Nats or anyone expected tonight. Still feeding the Nightengale I see.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 09:49 PM) What's the deal with Severino? I know he's 22 but his offensive numbers are pretty bad Fantastic defensive catcher but pretty sub-par hit tool.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 09:44 PM) Christopher Crawford ‏@Crawford_MILB 9s9 seconds ago Carlos Rodon, Luc Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez, Carson Fulmer, Alec Hansen, Zack Burdi. Strikeouts are pretty cool. Christopher Crawford ‏@Crawford_MILB 1m1 minute ago TON of volatility in that group, obviously. But a ton of talent, too. No one can deny that.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 1m1 minute ago Sources: #RedSox checked in today with #WhiteSox on Sale. Dombrowski said no “driving” force to add SP, but not necessarily one-team race.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 09:35 PM) Honest question: what excites you about those 2? Projectable prep SS/3B prospect with solid tools across the board and great makeup. Dunning is a polished higher floor college pitcher that could slot in as a middle of the rotation arm in the not so distant future. They are solid depth pieces in a potential trade.

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

Jesse Rogers ‏@ESPNChiCubs 1m1 minute ago Jed Hoyer: “I don’t think we’re the Chicago team that’s going to be making headlines.”

Sun-Times article with much of the Hahn Quotes: http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/hahn-on...-we-want-to-do/

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.
