If teams are this dug in about what prospects are going it's not going to get any better more than likely. You have to trade him now. You probably cant do it at the deadline and his value drops next offseason.

I dont mind giving the rest of the teams one last chance to send in offers and then close this thing up.

Swanson was in single A only a few years ago.

QUOTE (South Sider @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 08:51 PM) OK we can go to bed now. Kenny making sure to give Bob some info before the end of the night

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 08:47 PM) Ken says Red Sox checked in on Sale. Hahn should tell Dom to go away unless he's serious now

QUOTE (South Sider @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 08:38 PM) It may or may not be one of those nights. I do know that the Sox like to make some late night splashes at times... these GMs like to take advantage of every second of time they have at the Winter Meetings. Regardless, my 6 pack is ready to be consumed. I need to go out and buy some more

So no sleep tonight right?

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 08:29 PM) Oh he's the absolute best. What a fabulous movie and to think Tim Burton doesn't even think it's that good. Tim Burton's one weird dude...it's a good thing he is though

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 08:27 PM) You're now my new BFF. Love that Batman movie and Jack. He's my favorite joker. Remember watching that movie when I was a kid. Was scary but also very funny. That's the tell tale of a good movie. But him dancing to the Prince songs was awesome.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 06:48 PM) It's day 1 though lol I know. I want to be wrong. I just dont think I will be. Doesnt seem like there's much movement on any of our other players besides Sale.

Man the rumors for just about everything went to nothing My prediction of nothing happening is right on schedule

Depending on what the other few pieces are the Nationals trade would be a haul. That's how you rebuild the farm system.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 02:23 PM) Joel Sherman tweeted that neither Houston, Washington nor Boston are willing to give the Sox the "anchor player" the Sox are insisting on in a Sale trade. If that's the case then f*** them all...you keep him. Mark Where did you see that? He hasnt tweeted about Sale and any of those teams for 20 hours.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 01:43 PM) "Cold water Scott Merkin" was right all last year when he was the cold water guy and now he's singing a different tune. Didnt say he was wrong Rabbit. Just that he throws the cold water. Not always fun

It'll be cold water Scott Merkin

Lets get the ball rolling

QUOTE (bighurt574 @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 12:04 PM) It could be that they won't include Robles in a McCutchen deal but would in a Sale deal. He specifically mentions no Robles in the McCutchen trade but then there's that sentence that I posted. Makes it seem they are trying to keep Turner and Robles then decimate the rest of their farm. It's not possible.

QUOTE (bighurt574 @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 12:00 PM) Yeah, maybe if they part with a piece or two from their MLB roster. I found it "Yes, but the Nationals’ continued pursuit indicates that they believe they can get one or both players without conceding Turner or even Robles." https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/nationa...m=.f100706da2f8 They may believe that but it's not going to happen.

There was an article by a Washington Beat Writer that was suggesting they are trying to go after both players without giving up Robles and Turner. I have no idea how that's possible.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 11:38 AM) I don't think Cutch has the value that people think. He's not good defensively anymore, wants to play CF, and was a negative WAR player last year. Yep he was almost at -30 in DRS last year

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 3, 2016 -> 08:26 PM) Has anyone been consistently right on their predictions this off-season? Out of all the predictions this guy made... 1. Do you think he was actually being serious? 2. Do you think he'll show his face around here again? If you've come to the conclusion like I have that all the answers are no then you'll realize he was a troll.

Interesting but David O'Brien who is a Braves beat writer thinks they might be driving up the price for the Nationals.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Dec 3, 2016 -> 05:10 PM) Does this take LA out of the Sale talks? Probably. More than likely
