July 23, 20169 yr Was just told that Chris Sale will be scratched from today's start. Stay tuned. https://twitter.com/DevanFink/status/756967741869985792 Huh?
July 23, 20169 yr Author As trade talks pick up around Chris Sale, #WhiteSox scratch him from tonight's start. Matt Albers will go instead. https://twitter.com/bnicholsonsmith/status/...969322300395520 again...Huh?

July 23, 20169 yr matt albers? I can only laugh. if you had told me in May, at 10 over or whatever, that Albers would be starting a game in July and Chris sale trade speculation would be the reason I'd of told you to f*** off.
July 23, 20169 yr None of this s*** can be real right? Who are these guys exactly? And Fat Albers starting? Is that really the emergency starter at this point? It all seems fishy to me. I will say this, if they are at all close to dealing Sale, then you don't take a chance with him starting.
July 23, 20169 yr I just take this as precautionary. But it also means that they have accepted sell mode. So while I don't think a trade is close, its moved from maybe 5% to closer to 15-20%
July 23, 20169 yr Oh man.. Either way it isn't great news for Sox fans unless we get one hell of a deal

July 23, 20169 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 04:53 PM) He has the Flu apparently QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 04:54 PM) Brian just said he has the flu supposedly I trust raBBit, but this info seems a bit fishy as well. Not sure what to believe anymore.
July 23, 20169 yr He might have the flu, or he might have the "flu". I still take this as them being serious about moving Sale, or at least posturing that way. They're also punting on 2016, but I guess that was given.
July 23, 20169 yr Doug Padilla @DougPadilla 12s13 seconds ago The White Sox scratch Chris Sale from his start but word is that it is because of the flu.
July 23, 20169 yr Yeah I'd say flu sounds convenient. Trade may not be imminent but may be holding him back
July 23, 20169 yr I am not buying this until Merk or another beat guy tweets it. EDIT: And that has happened. Wow. Edited July 23, 20169 yr by maggsmaggs
July 23, 20169 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 10:58 PM) Yeah I'd say flu sounds convenient. Trade may not be imminent but may be holding him back My thoughts also
July 23, 20169 yr For any of you with tickets to next Thursday's Cubs-Sox game, you're unlikely to see Sale starting. I'll be at that game and was looking forward to his start.
July 23, 20169 yr QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 05:03 PM) Albers? Serious? Wow, I've gotta watch this! No false hope boys. Burn it down.
July 23, 20169 yr Author QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 05:06 PM) For any of you with tickets to next Thursday's Cubs-Sox game, you're unlikely to see Sale starting. I'll be at that game and was looking forward to his start. Why? He should be making his next start for us...chances are he's not going to be traded
July 23, 20169 yr I wonder if they are just saving him for the Cub series. Possibly to go against Arrieta?
