QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 10:17 PM) Kevin Maitan is f***ing 16 years old. A lot can happen between now and when he's ready. He can't be the key piece. Thats what im thinking. People are like give me maitan and swanson as starting points. Maitan just signed this july. Hasn't had any playing time yet that i can find. Waiting for him to progress to majors could possibly go into 2020s. Thats brand new starting out. Sox have to looking at guys that are AA or AAA for sale. They cant wait many years for a guy to get developed

I think the regulars who come here would end up seeing the post in one thread at some point fairly quickly. Especially if there is a thread for it. Well i didnt post it in 3 different threads. I posted it here for twitter only post and created its one thread since it the first time that the braves are talking about it so ya

Jim callis from mlb.com at mid-season top farm systems http://m.mlb.com/news/article/193317666/mi...0-farm-systems/ 9. Atlanta Braves Preseason Top 10 rank: No. 2 Prospects on Top 100: 5 The Braves are building a formidable infield of the future around Dansby Swanson (No. 5) and Ozzie Albies (No. 18), either of whom could play second base or shortstop, and third baseman-to-be Kevin Maitan, the cream of the 2016-17 international crop who signed for $4.25 million after drawing comparisons to Miguel Cabrera and Chipper Jones. They have several promising arms, though many of them have control issues (left-hander Sean Newcomb, No. 58) or health concerns (lefty Kolby Allard, No. 73). If the three pitchers Atlanta took at the top of its 2016 Draft -- righty Ian Anderson (No. 92), lefties Joey Wentz and Kyle Muller -- live up to their scouting reports, this system could rocket up our next rankings

Heard the Braves expressed interest in Sale before the trade deadline as well. https://t.co/nUeOm3qZjV https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/798521568276008960

http://www.fanragsports.com/mlb/heyman-bra...m-serious-time/ "The Atlanta Braves have joined the Chris Sale derby in a big way and are among the teams trying hardest to land one of baseball’s best pitchers. The White Sox listened to offers at the July trade deadline for Sale, but rival teams seem to believe there is a greater likelihood than ever that Sale will be dealt this winter. The White Sox are said to be listening on co-ace Jose Quintana and just about all their veteran players, including Todd Frazier and Melky Cabrera, who are free agents after the year." For people saying that can't see sale being traded its pretty telling when when teams apparently trying pretty hard plus its the offsesson when more teams can bid

Besides swanson not much position player wise in top 10. Mostly all pitchers. Would rather deal came from dodgers or boston with more position player depth. Plus side just adds another team going after sale. Could be nice bidding war

@barstoolWSD is reporting talks between @whitesox and @Dodgers involving Sale and Frazier. Interesting possibility in many ways. https://twitter.com/philgrogers/status/798346603060953088 @Dodgers could include bats in Bellinger, Verdugo & Calhoun, a C in Barnes and young arms in Urias, DeLeon, Sheffield and Buehler. https://twitter.com/philgrogers/status/798347208223379456 If the @whitesox were really going to deal Chris Sale, they might prefer it be to the @dodgers, who could keep the @Cubs from repeating. https://twitter.com/philgrogers/status/798347576080789504

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 07:37 PM) WriteSox tweeted a suggested return of Turner, Giolito, Robles and more for Sale. I would s*** my pants for a package around those 3, no matter who the "more" may be. Kinda worry about giolito having had tommy john already.

Hellickson's removal makes FA SP market even weaker, increasing trade value of the Sales, Archers, Quintanas, Verlanders https://twitter.com/Joelsherman1/status/798243284623630336

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 13, 2016 -> 07:10 PM) George Ofman16 mins · TwitterHearing Whitesox attempt to trade David Robertson not going very well. Plenty of time, though. I kinda take this guy with a grain of salt. That saying teams are probably going to go for the elites of chapman, jansen, and melancon first. Really a thin market for closers. Robertson may get more interest once those guys sign

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 13, 2016 -> 08:54 AM) Which is why I think people are just looking far into his tweets. Whitesoxdave said he he had nothing; only rumors which are probably speculation hes been seeing at sites like this one. Dave also said he couldn’t get any info from his sources and that they were being tight lipped. So something could be up

Im guessing if he is non-tendered the sox must not have confidence in him being healthy is the only thing i can think of. Really didnt have much trade value cause of the injury till he came back to prove hes healthy.

Did Lawries twitter profile ever say anything about being with the white sox? Nothing relating to it now

still nothing other than rumors, everyone being tight lipped AF https://twitter.com/barstoolWSD/status/797612124818259968
