Sale would set a new precedent for trades for sure

Trying to think of any trades involving pitchers similar to Sale over the past 20 years or so....David Price? Rays got Austin Jackson for him. Johnny Cueto...that deal looks terrible for the Reds. Johan Santana for Carlos Gomez? Going way back, Pedro for Pavano?

 

Random thoughts I have in my brain.

 

Rays got Drew Smyly, Wily Adames and Nick Franklin, Mariners got Jackson.

 

Tremendous Dom trade actually.

Sale's age + ability + contract/control are unprecedented. Why I think he won't be traded till the winter when you can talk some team into signing over their entire farm system.

yes. yes it was.

On a Red Sox Rumors site:

 

"ESPN's Jim Bowden broke down a scenario in which the White Sox would ask for infielder Yoan Moncada, outfielder Andrew Benintendi, righthander Michael Kopech and catcher/outfielder Blake Swihart in a package deal for Sale."

Actually looking at those trades, it's another reason why I think Sox should trade now.

 

For years prospects became overvalued, and you can see why. There was a crop of Correas/Betts/Bogaerts/Lindors etc that teams were harvesting and knew would be their next core. ML talent just wasn't valued as highly, with exception of a few nice deals.

 

Sox are at fortunate point where a lot of the teams that had hoarded talent now have a good crop already in major leagues and have excesses to trade, which is why we are seeing top 25 prospects go for rentals.

 

 

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.

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."

For just general baseball news no. But for Red Sox news he absolutely is.

 

Remember a weeks ago when Dom said teams keep asking about players that are unavailable? Here they are.

LOL sure that's a competitive package then for Sale.

I still love Gammons just for the fact that he always confesses his LOVE for Carson Fullmer. He absolutely loves everything about the kid.

What are they trying to offer for Sale then? Lmao

That is why I would never want to trade with Boston. I think they always felt they could get Sale for second tier minor league talent. Why? I have no idea.

I think it's clear now that they arent. They just have to pray Price returns to somewhat normal status.

Because they ah the friggin Bahston Red Sawx

Say what you want about the Dodgers but they seem like the most reasonable team right now. Atleast they would offer Urias right out the gate.

The Sawks are like negotiating with a ginger haired pudgy guy who wears his adidas jumpsuit selling car speakers out the back of his trunk.

I love Gammons and Kurjikian. They seem like good dudes who love absolutely everything about the game of baseball and who love everything that they do.

All of this is postering. Dom tells Gammons who he can't offer to try and make it appear when he offers a couple of those guys he is making a really "strong" offer. Everything and anything done is postering this time of year.

Ofcourse it is. I still dont see it getting done though. Definitely not for Sale and most likely not for Q. Some of these teams dont have the assets in their minors to get him on that alone. The Sox are really the only team that can and I dont see Dom budging. Basically they shouldnt have traded for Pomeranz immediately.
