hi8is Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 In fact, based on this entire report my guess is that Hahn originally asked for Benintendi, Devers, Kopech, and Swihart this winter. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/12/gamm...p;post-id=80326 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 05:53 PM) A good analysis of the Chris Sale trade from Big Three Sports. Likely the best write up I've seen yet, kudos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirdog Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 http://nesn.com/2016/12/heres-dave-dombrow...ris-sale-trade/ Wasn't sure if this was posted already but the video gives a detailed view of the Sale trade negotiations. Pretty sure the "too much to give up player" is Devers as Nightengale reported a week ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCCWS Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I would dispute his statement that Boston would not be able to extend Sale. Not sure how he came to that conclusion since they dumped a ton of money on Price who is a step down from Sale. A bigger question will be how Sale survives the media frenzy in Boston. Some guys like Pedroia and Ortiz thrive there. But Adrian Gonzalez did not. If Sale loves Boston they have the resources to resign him. But I wonder if he will survive the scrutiny.

GGajewski18 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Jason Mastrodonato @JMastrodonato 2h2 hours ago More Andrew Benintendi said his agent called him right before the Chris Sale trade.

"You'll know in the next 2 minutes if you're staying or not." If true, that sure as hell is interesting... to me it suggests that the Red Sox presented two packages, one based on Moncada and another based on Benetindi... the White Sox probably informed Boston that they were going to trade with them and gave them a time for presenting their decision. Don't see any other explanation for this quote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 It depends on what else was offered along with Benintendi, but I think the Sox made the right choice. Moncada's upside is much higher than Benintendi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Could be, could be more that agent heard rumors of a sale trade and was just prepping him in case. The post-mortems were pretty thorough from Boston media and seemed to indicate it was just haggling out of backend of Moncada/Kopech. If you think that is just because not talking about potential trades with players on roster, that's fair, but with the Yankees trades with the cubs we know they were offered that A/B deal between Jiminez or Torres. Haven't heard that with Sale trade in final days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That quote is from the same man who also said they wouldn't be trading for Sale since they were happy with their starters. Also, now that Benintendi is their top prospect left, what do you expect Dombrowski to say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent probably just heard wind of a "Sale to Red Sox for prospects" deal and probably figured he should let his client know.
