December 4, 201411 yr Not happening. Don't worry about it. People in Boston apparently like their drugs. Edited December 4, 201411 yr by Rowand44
December 4, 201411 yr They're entitled idiots who think they get the world for free. They can be ignored.
December 4, 201411 yr They are still trying to figure out how to include Abreu in the deal. It is probably what is causing the delay.
December 4, 201411 yr QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 4, 2014 -> 02:33 PM) What in the hell is all this talk about the Red Sox trading for Chris Sale?! Please link the discussion. I could use a laugh.
December 4, 201411 yr How can you not be excited about the potential of slotting Will Middlebrooks and JBJ in your every day lineup for the next 5 years?
December 4, 201411 yr I had the same reaction as you guys, but if you think about it. Kid's value has never been higher - you could command ANYTHING for him. And we all know there's a distinct possibility his arm falls off in the near future. Maybe it won't. Maybe he's a freak of nature. But we all know what happened to the other "Freak" (Lincecum). Just saying, maybe...... maybe it's not as completely bat-s*** crazy as it sounds.

Boston could offer their entire top 5 prospect list, and I would turn it down as not enough.

It should be a non-thought at this point.

If the Red Sox want to give the Sox Betts, Bogaerts, Swihart, and a few of their top pitching prospects for Danks and Sale, I think Hahn should do it.

December 4, 201411 yr QUOTE (Reddy @ Dec 4, 2014 -> 02:46 PM) I don't specifically mean Boston. I agree re: their prospects. Any trade for Sale would have to be bananas and include multiple young MLB + players, not all prospects.

But with our payroll flexibility, you trade Sale at his highest possible value, AND sign one of the aces on the market like Scherzer, and you've just stacked your team in two moves.

Which is why unloading Danks' contract would be a must in any deal
December 4, 201411 yr You should check out the tweets of some internet scrub named Dan_Lifshatz. Dude is convinced this is basically a done deal lol.
December 4, 201411 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 4, 2014 -> 02:57 PM) Which is why unloading Danks' contract would be a must in any deal No it shouldn't. Why lower the return just to get rid of Danks. It's dumb. Danks goes in a move for another overpaid player, or he is on the Sox. It is that simple. They're aren't going to do another "Teahen move" where they pair Danks with an asset just to get rid of him. Dumb dumb dumb.

Dumb dumb dumb. You're not lowering the return by giving up Danks if you're going for all of the young "studs" they have in their organization.

The best part is that the tweeter who claims to be on the inside, thinks the red sox can do it for 2nd and 3rd tier prospects. Red Sox fans have a sense of entitlement
