Braves fan here- First let me start by saying how much I have enjoyed reading the intelligent discussion on this board. I have been lurking here for quite a while to to help me keep up with Quintana and Sale rumors and have appreciated all the information and conversations I have read. I have long believed that Quintana, not Sale as originally rumored, has been the primary focus of our front office. Down plying the interest in Q seems like pretty normal misdirection.
Was curious what a fair package would be in Sox posters opinions. I was thinking Albies~top 20 prospect, Newcomb~top 50 prospect, Soroka~100 prospect, and Mallex Smith who could immediately play CF might be a fair starting point? Maybe add Austin Riley for good measure?
My reasoning for not adding Matian is because of how difficult it is to appraise his value. It's not that he is untouchable, per se, rather that it is difficult to deal him and get full value. Right now he is an excellent third piece. In six months he could "carry" a large deal on his own. It seems impossible for him to currently be viewed by a buyer at full value.
Thanks for the response and apologize for any potential homerism!
