GGajewski18 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I'd also throw in Robertson to Texas because they desperately need a closer. Getting 6-7 roster players/top prospects for both of them would be good for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 01:02 PM) Gallo, Mazara, Brinson, Profar and Ortiz would be good enough for me I think. me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royoung Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 QUOTE (FT35 @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 12:29 PM) Anyone else find the absurdity in teams scouting Chris Sale!? Why don't they save their scouting budget and just watch Sports Center where most of his pitches usually make highlights anyway. It's like us sending a scout to watch Clayton Kershaw...to see if he has what it takes to be good some day. Ha only thing I can think of is there has been some concern about his strikeout totals this year. His K/9 rate has dropped from a career high 11.8 to 8.6 this season. If the scouts wanted to see more strikeouts, they didn't get it last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 How about Sale, Melky, Frazier, and Robertson for Odor, Profar, Gallo, Tate, Brinson, Mazara, Ortiz, Mendez, Guzman, and Tavares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But everyone knows hes not trying to strikeout batters as much. Hes playing to contact to reduce high pitch counts. Tho he was missing a bit with spots last night. Really wasnt attacking hitters much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 12:26 PM) Oh Mazara is a must and I think today proves that. I'm not a huge fan of Gallo but he'd at least bring some much needed power to the lineup. I'm only fine with Gallo and Profar if they're not headlining the deal. You'll never get Odor IMO. I'd love to but I don't think they would that's why they're asking for Mazara and Gallo. Agree Gallo and Profar is way light as a headliner. Gallo and marza is okay, but depends on secondary pieces.

"Uh, ya he's still good." Scouting Report on Michael Jordan: Has good form on his jump shot tonight. Plays real good defense too (4 steals through 3 quarters of play). The more I watch this guy, those 6 titles are looking more and more legit. We should try to get him to come play on our team. I approve this acquisition.

Sox Fan In Husker Land Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I think the Nats would be an awesome trade partner. Not going to happen though. Sale, Robertson, & Jackson for Giolito, Turner, Robles, Lopez, Fedde, Stevenson, & Reetz. They could then shop Gio Gonzalez, Roark, or Ross for another bat. That would give them Scherzer, Sale, & Strasburg as their starters in a playoff series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the story if you believe it. You'd think he might want to dial it up to 97 against somebody like Kris Bryant though. If he was able.

OmarComing25 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I don't see the Rangers happening because Mazara is a must and if he's included in a package with Gallo then the Rangers' lineup will become a joke. The upgrade to their rotation will be offset a lot by the downgrade to their offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upgrade to their rotation will be offset a lot by the downgrade to their offense. Figuring gallo just joined them and mazara has slowed a bit they are the 6th in baseball in runs. Not sure removing those 2 are going to take a major hit to their offense. Especially since they lost fielder and he hasn't been producing anyway. Throw in abreu and it will work out lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in abreu and it will work out lol They're 18th in wRC+ and have scored most of their runs early in large part due to luck with sequencing. Since the sequencing has fallen back to normal levels they're a middle of the pack offense, and removing those two will just make it worse. Their offense has been a lot of smoke of mirrors this year, it's pretty average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxnfins Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Keep talking to Houston. Springer, Bregman, and McCullers in a deal for Sale seems like a perfect match. Honestly, I'd be talking to Houston the most and keep it on the DL, but the White Soc aren't that smart.... Or are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisox05 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 David Robertson, if traded, could get a decent haul on his own. If packaged with Sale or Q, Sox could become a top 10 farm system overnight. https://twitter.com/RobHart1980/status/759086422188064769 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmarComing25 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) So Cameron says a Benintendi/Devers/1 lower level guy (or Moncada/Kopech instead for the first two), Urias/Verdugo (or Bellinger instead of Verdugo)/2 lower level guys or Gallo/Brinson/Ortiz/1 lower level guy should be enough for the Sox to want to move Sale. If Sale was traded for any of those packages, would anyone here be happy with those trades? Edited July 29, 2016 by OmarComing25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 If they don't find a trade now, good chance we'll look back at this time and say, "damn we coulda had x, y, z right now." Or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I am surprised there is still (supposedly) so much trade interest in Robertson. His results have been bad, peripherals meh, and he's expensive for the next 2 years. Getting a decent prospect for him would be pretty shrewd business, if the Sox pull that off.
