QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 11:31 PM) It's gotten to that point and will stay there until Sunday, IMO. Minor blip due tomorrow around 9:00pm. QUOTE (oneofthemikes @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 04:46 AM) He's right. It's the lack of any new information that is causing us to talk ourselves in circles. Yeah I can't disagree.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 10:11 PM) I think we can all agree they're not gona give either one away. They don't have to move them. If they had to, maybe I could see the concern. They have the leverage. Exactly. This entire thread is beating a dead horse lol

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 10:08 PM) I couldn't imagine what 103 from a pitcher must look like. In HS I turned a pitching machine up to 100 to see what that looked like. Missed the first 3 badly, tipped the fourth, and hit the fifth, but it snapped the aluminum bat I was swinging in half. Off a pitcher, it has to look even quicker. I don't even know those machines could get that high lol

QUOTE (lord chas @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 10:03 PM) Is tomorrow Sale's last start in a White Sox uniform? Nope

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 09:57 PM) Chapman in a 7 run game... wtf Probably hasn't pitched in 3-4 games. What's wrong with getting work?

QUOTE (soxfan85 @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 09:57 PM) The hype in ungodly. Too bad that had such an amazing start and such an easy schedule for the first month an a half or so. If they did not have that going for them, things would be a whole lot tighter in their division. That start was such a huge outlier. Sucks the Cardinals have been without Carpenter, Peralta and Moss for a while. They don't have the kind of depth the Cubs have for those kind of losses.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 09:56 PM) I guess the Cubs fans that were outraged they traded for a wife beater are over it once they see triple digits on the gun. Welcome to the world of professional sports where players can do whatever they want with little consequences and people love you because you're good.

He said first America League pitcher.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 08:38 PM) He deserves at least a couple more starts IMO. If he could fill a hole at minimal cost left by a Sale or Q trade even going into 2017 that would be huge. More likely a hole left by a Gonzalez or Shields trade in my opinion.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 08:57 PM) Anyone else see Melky with the troll job there? What did he do?

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 06:03 PM) I was trying to say that he made it sound like it wouldn't be surprising if he was dealt, not that the possibility is there...as we all know that already. Like they may have something lined up to happen soon?

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 05:54 PM) He'll be 35. No one would pay him anywhere near $44 million; The Sox will be fortunate to peddle him now for an interesting A ball prospect. Luckily we're not trying to move him at the $44 million price tag. What we are paying him is very affordable to almost every team.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 05:48 PM) Um, ok? I was just saying your post wasn't very insightful as this is a thread about Shields "possibly" being traded. Was just kind of funny is all.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 05:26 PM) whitesoxdave makes it sound like the Sox could possibly move Shields. I'd be ok with that. Look back at the last couple pages. We all know "the Sox could possibly move Shields." Lol this is the thread for it.

It probably really is just posturing.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 03:35 PM) Well here's some more. Count the Red Sox out. If that's still there stance they arent going to get anyone. Here we'll take one of the best pitchers in the majors...but you guys cant have any of our best players in the lineup or minors. What a great deal! "but the Red Sox have let other teams know they will not discuss four players: Yoan Moncada, Andrew Benintendi, Michael Kopech and Rafael Devers." http://www.gammonsdaily.com/peter-gammons-...otes-from-july/ What are they trying to offer for Sale then? Lmao

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 03:26 PM) Sucks that the rumors for just about everyone have come to a halt( I understand why but still...need information) Agreed. We'll have to wait a few more still to hear more.

What if you add Gonzalez or Shields along with Sale or Quintana? Red Sox would add a great pitcher and a solid back of the rotation arm.

Here's to hoping the Tigers score some more runs off the Red Sox starter. (I don't cheer for the Tigers often obviously but want the Red Sox to get desperate lol)

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 01:46 PM) More than it is currently, in all likelihood. But I agree with your point - the Sox aren't getting Giolito for Robertson. lol Agreed. I expect 2-3 solid prospects and I'd be ok with that. Not a team's best prospects.

QUOTE (FT35 @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 01:34 PM) Right...of all the teams Boston would be the most likely to rebound...but if we take 3 of their top 5 prospects, plus a couple other pieces, they will be short on top prospects to deal for significant pieces for a couple of years--unless they don't win the WS this year or show they have a huge shot at it early next year and sell vets to rebuild. Same position competitively as us--all available resources at the MLB level--1 maybe 2 main players of interest in your system. If the MLB team struggles to win, they will have to pay. Now we all know they CAN/WILL pay...but the reason they are successful has been the fact that they have developed a nice crop of talent from their system. If we raid that system--they will feel the heat from that in one way or another. They'll be able to spend on international prospects next year though so they can sign which ever top ones come over and just load up on a bunch.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 01:19 PM) A sweep and smoke comes out of the front office at 35th and shields. Man if that happens, I see us trading no one from the mlb roster and somehow dealing for Bruce.

http://www.overthemonster.com/2016/7/26/12...ouchable-player Came across this random article. Seems like the author is fine with Red Sox dealing both Moncada and Benintendi in a deal for Sale.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 01:23 PM) I'd wait until the offseason for Sale to Boston. If I'm moving him there then I'm waiting until the season is over to try and get one of the Bs, Moncada, Benintendi, Kopech and Swihart. Then we got a deal. I just don't see them getting Boegarts/Betts/Bradley, Moncada and Benintendi. Plus other top prospects on top of it.
