Braves have what it takes in terms of prospects to do Sale deal I hear. But so far, like the others, they haven't met price https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/805150135093227520

Several teams in need of a closer are keeping tabs on Wade Davis and David Robertson, but the trade market has been slower to develop. https://twitter.com/jcrasnick/status/805131878722404352 Im guessing once the dominos starting falling for the free agents interest would pick up for Robertson

#WhiteSox didn't tender a contract offer to Blake Smith while signing Avi Garcia and Brett Lawrie. Their 40-man now sits at 38. https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/804836143183384581

Two things: On #Braves starter search. I understand Sale is better than Archer. But the price to acquire him would also be higher. https://twitter.com/jcrasnick/status/804730871966212096 By engaging on both Sale and Archer, #Braves have shown they're considering all possibilities. (Not so high on Sonny Gray, though). https://twitter.com/jcrasnick/status/804730938630479873

If the #Nats pull off trade for #Pirates McCutchen, hard to see them having enough prized trade chips to also land #Whitesox Chris Sale https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/804731601598947328

Also, I realize "sleeper'' wasn't the best word to describe #Whitesox. But until they trade Sale, the rebuild is all just speculation. https://t.co/Dj6c3u1PNh https://twitter.com/jcrasnick/status/804731438251868165 My point was, Rick Hahn has a chance to make the meetings hop. If Sale goes, the dominos could fall quickly with other #Whitesox players. https://twitter.com/jcrasnick/status/804731589330608128

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 10:19 AM) While I wouldn't have any problem pouncing on the right return to sell him at what is most likely his peak value, I don't think it's wise to shop him. As mentioned before, five years of control make him every bit as useful to our next competitor as any of the 5+ year controllable brekaout prospects we're talking about targeting with Sale. Further, OF bats are one of the only things that actually ARE available in this year's free agent class (although many have been signed already), making it at least appear to not be an ideal trading market. They probably arent shopping him. Its just that teams could be pretty interested in him and they probably wont move him unless its a huge package. Theres probably no urgency on sox side

QUOTE (Ro Da Don @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 10:04 AM) I like a lot of those pieces. You guys think no chance we could extract Alex Reyes in an Eaton deal? They honestly probably need reyes in the rotation pretty bad. Just traded Garcia away so they probably need as much depth as possibly. Not sure they can even use reyes in a sale trade.

Some execs think #Whitesox are a sleeper to make big news at winter meetings. Can auction Sale, Robertson, Frazier, Melky under one roof https://twitter.com/jcrasnick/status/804715080784998401

The #Braves still have interest in Chris Sale and Chris Archer, even after adding Colon, Dickey and Garcia. They prefer Sale over Archer. https://twitter.com/jcrasnick/status/804709193320136704 #Braves are telling teams they're very reluctant to part with Ozzie Albies in any deal. But they're getting lots of hits on 19-year-old IF. https://twitter.com/jcrasnick/status/804709332608761856

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Dec 1, 2016 -> 02:43 PM) If the Pirates move McCutchen, I would sure like to see him playing centerfield the next 2 seasons in a White Sox uniform. Why, if the sox are rebuilding theres no point of him. Sox are trying to get younger and more control not short term stop gaps

The Nationals, according to one exec, would like to make this deal today, because the ripple effect of trading for McCutchen would likely be a move to nontender shortstop Danny Espinosa before tomorrow's tender date. The Nationals have been looking for a center fielder. So if they can trade for McCutchen, he would play center, which would bounce Trea Turner to short and leave no spot for Espinosa. The Pirates are looking for controllable starting pitching. So names like Joe Ross and Reynaldo Lopez would fit that shopping list.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Nov 28, 2016 -> 04:46 PM) If the return for Sale is not what we want then absolutely I keep him and move forward. You can still get a ton of value at the deadline or next offseason for him His opportunistic time to trade him is now. Waiting until next trade deadline is risky cause he could get hurt. Plus the more time he stays with the sox the less years of control a teams is getting in him. Also next offseason is a big one for free agents expecially pitching wise. Hes the best there is now on the market whether its free agency or trading. Someone will pony up cause not to many pitchers of his level are available.
