I love Sale and Abreu but I could almost be fine with seeing us ship everybody out and have a massive trade deadline and August waiver party. I'm tired of watching a s***ty team. But Sale is a generational talent and I'd hate to see him leave.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 06:25 AM) Really true. So far a very boring deadline trading season. It obviously will pick up, but nothing but very generic rumors out there now. We still have about 8 days. It'll pick up quickly this weekend

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 21, 2015 -> 08:00 PM) I'd much rather have a catcher that can catch. I would too. But there's so few of them we could make due with Tyler if we could get some guys that can hit.

I'm not trading Robo. I'm keeping a premium closer.

My Q for Arenado was facetious also. This whole thread is. Thus, crazy predictions.

I love Sale but a package of Puig, Urias, Seager, and Olivera would be tempting and I'd probably take it.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 22, 2015 -> 02:59 PM) If the Dodgers were willing to do Shark+ for Puig, what would you guys offer? Shark plus Montas and Avi.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 21, 2015 -> 10:19 PM) 1. Quintana + Anderson + Davidson for Arenado 2. Sale + Avi + Montas for Pederson, Puig, Urias and Seager 3. Shark for Pentecost and Hoffman. 4. Watch fans be flabbergasted at the whirlwind of moves. Should move Abreu too screw it!

Wouldn't mind that if we moved them. Need to move all these guys.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 21, 2015 -> 03:55 PM) Is that Hamels contract now considered a bargain? Two months ago, it was more of a salary relief must come back with him conversation. Who's going to outbid the Dodgers on Greinke? With his social personality disorder, NY or Boston's not the best landing spot. You could see Detroit if they go back into "all in" mode, which they are pretty much going to be forced into doing with their roster construction and payroll. To my knowledge it's been considered a bargain for awhile now. That's why they've held out for the right return.

I'd much rather surround Tyler with a good offense. Much like the Tigers have done with Avila. I'd love to have a great catcher but there's just not many great ones around.

Well still get a good deal for Shark. I'm not worried. Ya Cueto and Price are better options but they're better and will require a better package. As for Hamels, he's under contract for a few more seasons at a reasonable price, so he's going to require quite the haul.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 20, 2015 -> 08:02 PM) Why would the Rockies trade their best player, nearly a superstar at a premium position...for Jose Quintana? How would that improve their future prospects? It would also require sending Montas or Anderson along and probably even a lesser prospect. That's why it's a crazy prediction. Not nearly realistic lol.

Jose Quintana for Nolan Arenado.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 01:41 PM) Puig, Seager, Urias, and Pederson for Sale. Not happening but I'd do it. I'm not a fan of moving him but that's the package that we'd need.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 20, 2015 -> 04:47 PM) Ha, I wish... best defensive 3rd baseman in baseball and this year he's been top 3 on offense. That would be something. Yup. He's insane lol.

With the Braves moving to a new stadium in '17 I don't see them moving Simmons. I'd like to get Arenado from COL

Started with DFA Gillaspie. I expect Shark gone soon. Hopefully LaRoche is packaged as well.

What's sad is Minnesota is better than us by far.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 03:23 PM) Lol. Saladino on the trade market has about as much value as my expired Ant-Man ticket stub. He should be a decent utility player, although we've already needlessly spent $6+ million on that spot with a negative return on investment. I wouldn't move Abreu.

Having a terrible record against your division is just brutal. This seasons over. Time to move Shark and prepare for '16.

JFC this organization sucks. Top to bottom.

Lol nothing goes our way. This team just can't f***ing catch a break.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 12:18 PM) KC hitting coach gives guys a plan...............Sox hitters never make any adjustments Todd S is a failure to me. We seem to never have a plan except for the beginning of last season. Guys just don't execute for us.
