Rose where he should have been a legend in Chicago but immaturity got the best of them You're seriously going to compare cutting some jerseys to an alleged gang rape? C'mon man, you're better than that.

QUOTE (MEANS @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 01:12 PM) Dodgers showing interest in Frazier....keep it going RH Where did you see this? I'd take Verdugo and Calhoun for Todd.

I feel crushed, but cautiously optimistic that Hahn knows what he's doing.

QUOTE (Soxnfins @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 12:54 PM) Holy hell. I am so sorry big guy. Hang in there buddy. My condolences. Thanks man. I didn't know him well but it's still extremely sad. He had his whole life in front of him and now it's gone in an instant. On a side note, would someone like to predict the White Sox top 10 prospect list now? Moncada has to be #1, right?

This has been a cruddy day. Not only was Sale traded, but I just found out a kid in one of my classes passed away after an accident.

I can't help but being disappointed. It's not even about the return. It's the fact that the greatest pitcher in the history of the White Sox and my favorite player is no longer on the team.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 12:22 PM) You're ridiculous No...I'm really not. A future hall of famer for Moncada and Kopech isn't enough. The other 2 pieces have to be solid as well.

I'll riot if one of the other two prospects isn't Devers. This isn't enough.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 12:12 PM) HES DEALT SALE TO RED SOX FOR MONCADA KOPECH AND TWO PROSPECTS WHERE DID YOU SEE THIS????????

I'm so much more optimistic about Boston than Washington. LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 12:11 PM) The group chat is missing you haha I bet it's exploding, right? There will be thousands of unread messages when I get back lol. It'll take me an hour to get through everything.

Good god, I want to have access to Twitter right now. I'm relying on y'all to keep me informed. Please keep posting any relevant tweets. Thank you.

This is playing out literally perfect for the White Sox. Let Washington and Boston keep bashing themselves over their heads and keep upping the offer.

I need Chris Cotillo to confirm this before I take it seriously.

Let's say Washington hypothetically got Rutherford from the Yankees and included him in a Sale package. What would you guys say to this? Sale for Giolito, Robles, Rutherford, Stevenson, Severino, and Fedde.

QUOTE (Ro Da Don @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 11:33 AM) Gio Gonzalez, right? Not Giolito? Rutherford would be a nice add.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 10:51 AM) He deleted it so I am guessing he found out it was BS. or he deleted it because it was leaked info that wasn't supposed to be posted on a forum.

This would be great. Either take Boston's superior offer or force Washington to include Turner. I hope Hahn makes the right choice.

Glad I didn't take off today. Nothing has happened whatsoever except the Thornburg trade.

QUOTE (Sockin @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 10:14 AM) I see it like this. The Sox clearly have trouble developing position players and don't have much of a problem developing pitchers. Robles is good but he's raw and a few years away and while Giolito is nice, the org is almost barren in any MLB ready position player prospects. You could use any of the other guys to trade and get a top 100 pitching prospect that the org wouldn't have trouble developing into an MLB pitcher, you can't say the same about good position prospects. This was my thought process almost word for word when I made the original post. I also prefer Moncada to Giolito as the headliner because he hasn't had any major surgery and is younger...and is a hitter, like you said. Robles might have all the potential and tools in the world but he's so far away from the big leagues that anything can happen over the next couple years with his development. Moncada is much more polished and would most likely be in Charlotte next year. Heck, he could be in Chicago in 2017 if he proves himself worthy. Moncada/Kopech/Swihart/Basabe/Travis wouldn't be terrible, though I'd like Devers too.

If Boston would rather move Moncada than Benintendi, that's fine. Moncada was a higher ranked prospect for a long time and has more upside IMO, though he also has much more risk. He's definitely a worthy centerpiece in a Sale trade...much more so than Giolito or Robles.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 09:35 AM) Take it with a massive grain of salt but a guy on a football message board that broke the news of the Thornburg trade 18 hours before it happened is saying he has a source that says the Red Sox are making a push for Sale with Moncada/Kopech/Basabe. http://www.footballsfuture.com/phpBB2/view...144406#21144406 This. This I could get behind. I'd like Devers to be included as well but I'd still prefer this over Washington's offer even without him.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 09:23 AM) Is this Hawk's account? There was no mention of TWTW in his post, so no.

I've been thinking about it. Are you guys as pissed about this bull s*** as I am? I don't care that Giolito and Robles are highly ranked. Why is Chris Sale getting an equal or possibly worse return than Shelby f***ing Miller?
