July 23, 20169 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 05:07 PM) Why? He should be making his next start for us...chances are he's not going to be traded Are they just going to skip his start altogether? I guess I was assuming he'd start tomorrow, but maybe you're right. There is still hope!
July 23, 20169 yr QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 05:07 PM) I wonder if they are just saving him for the Cub series. Possibly to go against Arrieta? The Sox are idiotic but this would be at another level
July 23, 20169 yr Let him pitch against the Cubs. Fine by me. He's probably not going Sunday either since Robin will be cautious. Mark
July 23, 20169 yr Jon Morosi @jonmorosi 9s10 seconds ago Chris Sale, scratched by #WhiteSox today, is not believed to be ill, according to two sources.
July 23, 20169 yr Author QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 05:27 PM) If there is a 1% chance of Sale being traded, he shouldn't make another start for the Sox. There is NO upside to that. The cold excuse is lame, but it is what it is. Sit him until you decide what you're doing. They may not even get this game in
July 23, 20169 yr Pitching Albers is just conceding another game. Pretty poor when an organization is so poor it has to concede a game. Doesn't have anybody to pick up a spot start. Trading Sale is a very bad idea. If you are gonna trade a guy you don't handle it this way. I'm telling you, organizations are quickly evaluating huge-name prospects that they believe will be like Avi, flops. Those are the guys the Sox will acquire. Remember how high a draft pick Beckham was?? This is how you sit in last place for 5-10 years. Making bulls*** trades at the wrong time. Our trade window has already closed for this year as far as I'm considered. Highway robbery coming. Edited July 23, 20169 yr by greg775
July 23, 20169 yr FWIW Morosi is saying Sale is NOT sick https://twitter.com/jonmorosi/status/756979418241769472 Edited July 23, 20169 yr by Sockin
July 23, 20169 yr Author It's a good point by Tony. Just dont play him while other teams are still calling. Start him after the 1st.

Our trade window has already closed for this year as far as I'm considered. Highway robbery coming. At this point, losing games is the best route for the organization. If you are going to rebuild, the name of the game is getting as high a draft pick as possible for 3-5 years.

July 23, 20169 yr The timing of this is curious for sure. Gotta admit, kinda want him traded just to see what they found acceptable.
July 23, 20169 yr QUOTE (Sockin @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 04:29 PM) FWIW Morosi is saying Sale is NOT sick https://twitter.com/jonmorosi/status/756979418241769472 Lots of information and misinformation out there. If he isn't sick, there's definitely a decent chance he's traded.
July 23, 20169 yr Author Sale is not someone who would miss a start due to an illness...he's tough/stubborn.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 04:33 PM) Getting excited. Hoping it's Boston. This is definitely more exciting than watching their games, that's for sure. Just hope if they make this trade they don't blow it.
July 23, 20169 yr Chris Sale, the guy who has to be physically removed from the mound by park security when the manager pulls him... is not pitching tonight because "flu" I'm calling bulls*** on this one. Trade coming.
July 23, 20169 yr Author QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 05:36 PM) Barstool dude just tweeted something about his source. This is getting serious. Here we go guys....strap it down
July 23, 20169 yr Pete Abraham @PeteAbe 1m1 minute ago Michael Kopech starting for Salem tonight as of a few minutes ago. if #RedSox were trying for Sale, he would figure to be part of a deal.

Trade coming. Some Ranger fans are getting worried they are giving up Gallo, Profar, Mazara, and at least 2 more prospects Edited July 23, 20169 yr by soxforlife05
July 23, 20169 yr I feel bad for the admins. The "How do I change my screen name" thread is about to be lit AF
