December 18, 201411 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 11:53 AM) It's cause we're trading Abreu to them. We are rebuilding, so lets get rid of all of them since we need to fill the seats that will be even more empty after Sale and Abreu are traded. wait, what?

My personal favorite was the version where we were trading Sale, but getting Samardjiza in a separate deal. Samardjiza would be pitching to less fans than he did in Oakland.
November 8, 201510 yr Because Sale is not enough to get Blake Swihart now LOL. f***ing Boston fans. http://bosoxinjection.com/2015/11/08/red-s...-blake-swihart/

The author does acknowledge that it would take "a big position player package from Boston, Houston, the Cubs or Texas, teams with deep farm systems."
November 8, 201510 yr "Sale is a really good pitcher, but is he worth letting go of possibly the future starting catcher for the Red Sox?" Seemed pretty straight forward

Seemed pretty straight forward Lol in a package. Sorry I'm not seeing that quote as implied 1 for 1. If the Red Sox were offered Sale for Swihart straight up, Sale would be pitching opening day 2016 and Vazquez would be catching for the Red Sox. Edited November 8, 201510 yr by soxfan2014
November 8, 201510 yr QUOTE (reiks12 @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 05:40 PM) The author acknowledges that there would be more than just swihart It actually came from Gammoms
November 8, 201510 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 05:49 PM) It actually came from Gammoms Well either way it's in there.
November 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 06:00 PM) f***ing Boston fans. Yeah to be honest, I wouldn't really like a deal with Boston if Swihart is the centerpiece. He'd be a nice part of a deal but we need better than that. Edited November 9, 201510 yr by soxfan2014

November 9, 201510 yr Unfortunately, at this point, this is exactly the kind of deal we should be looking to make.
November 9, 201510 yr I would hate to trade sale but if we did, trade Sale, Q, Abreu, Melky. All the vets.
November 9, 201510 yr I just saw the title of the thread and I assumed that this could be a serious deal. Needless to say, I just had a mini heart attack.
November 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 06:25 PM) Unfortunately, at this point, this is exactly the kind of deal we should be looking to make. No it's not. The names would be Bogaerts and Betts or they'd get hung up on.
November 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 07:29 PM) No it's not. The names would be Bogaerts and Betts or they'd get hung up on. 100% agree. You only trade Sale if it's for a franchise-altering package. And if Blake Swihart is the best piece you're getting, then it's clearly not that kind of package.
November 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 07:33 PM) 100% agree. You only trade Sale if it's for a franchise-altering package. And if Blake Swihart is the best piece you're getting, then it's clearly not that kind of package. 100000000% agree. The same idea applies for Quintana as well. He's not quite as valuable as Sale but he's pretty close.
November 9, 201510 yr I don't really care if there are fan rumors. Sox aren't trading Sale. Boston will have a shot at him when he's a free agent. If Sale stays healthy obviously Sox won't be able to keep him when time comes. I wish the Sox would do the tinkering necessary to have a dominant starting rotation and middle relief and bullpen. We have too many lefty starters. We don't have 3 reliable bullpen guys which is what you need nowadays. I mean REALLY RELIABLE.
November 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 05:49 PM) It actually came from Gammoms Well Gammons once said that MLB should look at the White Sox for contraction before they kicked Boston's ass and won the World Series in 2005, so this doesn't surprise me.
November 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 09:28 PM) What do you think makes them stop? There's only two ways: we actually trade Sale or we become a playoff contender again.
November 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 07:28 PM) What do you think makes them stop? OH OH I KNOW !! People not posting "when will this thread die" and "I can't wait for these threads to stop " in it.
