Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan 6m6 minutes ago @JATayler True story: At least a dozen GMs I know of have secret Twitter accounts to monitor what's out there. My favorite part of Twitter.

Jayson Stark ‏@jaysonst 34s34 seconds ago The Red Sox & White Sox have done a lot of talking about Chris Sale. But no indication they're any closer today than yesterday or other days

The tweet went viral and now he's backing out Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 1m1 minute ago Chris Cotillo Retweeted Jared Carrabis Just industry rumblings, I've heard nothing concrete. Just interesting in response to Olney saying CWS wants Puig.

Cotillo: Shields for Puig possible

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 11:35 AM) White Sox intrigued of Benintendi, ERod, Swihart, and Devers package from Red Sox for Chris Sale. No Moncada?? You need Kopech then

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 11:35 AM) Benintendi wiki page is updated to say he's on the White Sox. Might mean nothing, but might... It means nothing lmao, Cespedes signed a 5/84 deal with us according to Wikipedia last winter

"We discussed several deals, we were very active, but ultimately, we were not content with the packages we would receive. In all probability, standing pat with our current roster could result in a team that puts up a competitive final two months of the season." -Rick Hahn, later today probably

George Ofman ‏@georgeofman 6m6 minutes ago Chicago, IL It appears there will be no deal for Sale between Sox and Sox. Things though, could change.

surpirsed that there has been absolutely nothing on this, rumor-wise

I'm gonna trust Nightengale, who is always right about us, when he says that it's 50/50 on Sale getting moved today, over Stark, who said it's 5/95.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 11:06 AM) Also, DD "caving" is NOT going to include Moncada/Benintendi AND Devers/Kopech. If Hahn somehow talks him into the first two being included, anything else is gonna be light. For Chris Sale, you need Moncada, Benintendi, and at least one of Devers/Kopech.

Bob Nightengale on MLBN says Red Sox want Sale "very, very badly", far more than Dodgers and Rangers, and he thinks it's a coin flip whether he gets moved today.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 11:05 AM) Depends what we get back for Sale. I'm not really for this, but if you were able to get Mazara and Profar, that's a "win in the next couple of years" move. That would mean Garcia is out (Mazara plays OF), Melky could go to DH, and Profar can play a number of positions. I'm not saying I like that idea, but there are ways in which the Sox could only trade Sale. I mean, wouldn't our rotation suck then? Quintana Shields Rodon Gonzalez Ranaudo? Yuck.

IMO the extra year of control makes Quintana just as valuable as Sale. I know teams won't see it that way, but it's not like Sale is that much better.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 10:58 AM) Ok four hours left. One per hour...Robertson, Shields, Melky, and end it with a huge package of players from LA for Q. Sale to Boston or NY in the offseason. In a perfect world...

Boston has some positions that are set long-term, those being held by Pedroia, Betts, and Bogaerts. Moncada could move to third, sure, but then you have Devers who would also come up and play... what, DH then?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 10:52 AM) Jayson StarkVerified account ‏@jaysonst A source who said yesterday the chances of Chris Sale getting dealt were under 5 percent says again this morning "under 5 percent" My thoughts- if this is really the case, and DD is that certain to not give in, then maybe we should stop wasting our time there and focus on Robertson/Frazier/Melky/Shields/Gonzalez/Quintana trades.

Jayson StarkVerified account ‏@jaysonst A source who said yesterday the chances of Chris Sale getting dealt were under 5 percent says again this morning "under 5 percent"

Meanwhile, I hope we're working on trades for Shields/Gonzalez/Robertson/Frazier/Melky

Dombrowski always caves, so I do think Benintendi/Moncada is a possibility

Basically in the last 12 hours it went from "it won't happen, 1% chance" to "eh" to "maybe" to "oh wow this could be happening", at least from insiders.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 24s25 seconds ago Source: #RedSox pushing hardest to acquire #WhiteSox’s Sale. No indication trade will happen. “Late-night talks,” per @BNightengale.

If they really go no-Moncada, then it would have to be: Sale and Robertson for Benintendi, Devers, Kopech, Rodriguez, Travis, Swihart, Dubon, Ball...

Apologies if this has been posted, but this guy is legit Scot Gregor ‏@scotgregor Would be stunned if both Sale and Quintana are still on #WhiteSox roster later today
