QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 03:08 PM) Agreed. One of them should go and I think it will be him. I think he's assuredly gone. I'd bank on it. His value is so good that in this market, some team will ante up. Likely Boston.

If this was his last game as a sox starter, it was a pleasure Q! Will always root for you because you were one of if not my favorite players on this team.

It was a pleasure Q. Not sure if he makes his next start. Shut down Detroit in maybe his final game pitched here. Good way to go out if he's dealt.

Quintana has his era under 3 now (2.98).

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 02:35 PM) It's just one game but today Moncada & Benintendi combined for 0-9. Moncada was 0-5 with 5K's. Faced a 29y old journey man with a 4.01 lifetime era in the minors. One game but nothing is guaranteed! Well duh lol. I still want their top prospects.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 02:08 PM) Quintana and Robertson to Boston for Benintendi, Devers, Swihart, and Kopech is fair for both teams with BoSox paying DRob. I'm going to be salty if we can't get Moncada from them.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 01:56 PM) There's no answer for this. Both Q and Sale are likely gone at the end of their contract. And no, Sale's value can never be higher. His years of control add more value than another good season would add. That's why he'll be dealt in the offseason IMO. I agree with Ptac that they won't give up Betts. Nor would I. But the sox can try and there's nothing wrong with that. With Sale's value, it'll be an offseason trade because some team may give up a younger core player along with 3-4 top prospects.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 01:34 PM) I believe, he was quoted as moncada will not be included in any deal. Of course he'll say that. I'm sure he'll try but the Sox will get him. They dont HAVE to move either SPs. It's all a game of cat 'n mouse and smoke 'n mirrors game.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 01:07 PM) Need both back. Agree completely. Was just saying how each should start.

Sale deal will be an offseason deal IMO. Don't see DD parting with Betts midseason. Sale to Boston starts with Betts or JBJ. Q to Boston starts with Moncada.

Either sale or Q, they better get Moncada back. He's a must IMO. I know I've saw people say package could start with Benintendi for Q. No. Starts with Moncada

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 12:29 PM) I know, was my return corny joke. Oh ok lol touché

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 12:06 PM) The problem with many of these speculated trade packages is that they offer pitchers. That's what they don't need and seem to do well on their own. Unless the Sox can dump Ja. I say nein to Ja starting. Exactly. That's why Boston matches well with us. They have good hitting prospects.

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 11:58 AM) Are you saying Q and Sale go together like a horse and carriage? Lol no it was the part where it says can't have one without the other

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 11:48 AM) I think we deal Q and not Sale.. Agreed. DD will get his guy. Whether it's Q or Sale. Moncada has to be in either deal.

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 11:49 AM) I don't get why we would deal one and not the other. Wouldn't moving both make more sense? Haven't you seen Married with Children? Sorry corny joke just made me think about the theme song.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 10:17 AM) To me, the only teams with a realistic shot at Sale are the Red Sox, Dodgers, Pirates, Nationals, Astros, & Rangers. The Cubs obviously have the talent too, but don't see us doing a deal with them. Red Sox Moncada Benintendi Devers Kopech E. Rodriguez Dodgers Urias De Leon Bellinger Verdugo Holmes Pirates Glasnow Meadows Bell Newman Keller Nationals Giolito Turner Robles Lopez Fedde Astros Bregman Martes Musgrove Tucker Reed Rangers Mazara Gallo Brinson Ortiz Tate Ideally for the best packages for our club: Sale and Robertson to Red Sox, Q to Dodgers

QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 11:06 AM) I agree, I think Q's extra year of control is equal to sale's perceived dominance, and if both get moved the packages will rival one another. The question becomes do you move Eaton and Abreu as well or can they anchor your future core with Collins and Anderson. Eaton will be 29/30 if they sell off and we compete in 2 to 3 years Abreu will be 31/32. If ya move both, then you gota move Abreu, Melky, Frazier, etc.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 12:10 AM) A tear down has been mentioned in these parts since 2007. I was totally against it then but hey - the people who started beating that drum were right. You're not a fan, by the way. Bye. *golf clap*

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 12:00 AM) Gallo is Russell Branyan. Mazara is so much better. This is why they're balking at giving up Mazara and not Gallo. Pretty telling IMO

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 11:49 PM) When the rebuild goes quicker than most expect because of the hauls we get from Sale and Q he'll be right back on the bandwagon like he never left when the Cubs don't win s*** over the next 3 years. I honestly don't know how long it'll be. Losing Sale would suck. Love the guy but this stuck in the mud thing isn't working either.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 11:47 PM) *facepalm* What are you face palming? Me or the guy that's threatening to become a bandwagon Cubs fan because Sale is acting like a childish asshole? Or are you just salty because you got facepalmed earlier? Lol lighten up Francis.

QUOTE (Special K @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 10:38 PM) I hate Rick Hahn. I will 100% become a Cubs fan if they trade Sale. Prepared to be done with this Organization. It will be so liberating. Don't let the door hit you in the vagina on your way out. If you decide to go that route

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 10:30 PM) They are definitely the biggest dark horse. I grew up liking the Pirates out of the NL. I'd be fine with them but need to look at their farm better. Glasnow, Bell and others

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 11:12 PM) But this makes it clear Robin needs to go. No more inmates running the asylum s***. Agree. I didn't see your post but I typed the same thing. No inmates running the asylum. Clearly Robin isn't a leader of men.
