December 6, 20169 yr Author QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 11:47 AM) Always thought Astros would be in, but hey, we are now where I wanted us to be except no Dodgers. I'm surprised they're not in the thick of this. Or, maybe they are and are keeping it quiet. Doubtful, though.

December 6, 20169 yr Author Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 28s28 seconds ago Want to make this clear: #Nationals are not out on Sale. But #RedSox appear stronger at moment.
December 6, 20169 yr I have a strange feeling that the Red Sox make the deal. No inside sources or anything, just feel like Red Sox are more willing to get a deal done.
December 6, 20169 yr QUOTE (South Sider @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 11:51 AM) Please no JBJ..... I want younger players with less service time.... I'm praying that the Sox won't be so stupid. But I'll believe it when I see it. Benintendi PLEASE

He's arguably done more "win now" trades than any other exec currently in the game.

December 6, 20169 yr @BNightengale The #Redsox and #Nats now in a dual battle for #WhiteSox ace Chris Sale with #Braves as dark horse This has to be great news for the White Sox. Let them fight!

Chisox likes Jackie bradley Jr. Very much, and others Yeah, I doubt that Boston will trade Benintendi after the way that he played down the stretch. I'd be happy with Bradley, Moncada, Kopech, Devers, and a lesser minor-league outfielder for Sale and Melky. That would address CF and 3B through 2020.

December 6, 20169 yr Is there any way of getting JBJ and Moncada as part of a package or is that too much? Maybe JBJ, Moncada, Swihart, and low A filler or two?
December 6, 20169 yr Can anyone live with a deal that gets you Devers and Kopech but no headliner other than BradleyJr.? Who would the 4th/5th piece have to be in that scenario? Groome, Basabe, Swihart, Rodriguez, Owens, etc.?
