July 17, 201510 yr QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 02:54 PM) Chris Sale to the Cubs for Schwarber, Javier Baez, CJ Edwards, Corey Black, and Gleyber Torres. Cubs would still be loaded and have arguably the best pitcher in the game locked up. Would the Cubs be giving up enough? You have a 26 year old that is arguably the best pitcher in baseball and happens to be locked up long-term at great value, how would you ever get his true value? Sox would get a potential all-star catcher, 2 guys rotation ready, a 2B/SS/CF with very good power, and a very good SS prospect for the future. I got through this whole post and became sick to my stomach at the thought of trading Sale. I feel like Quintana wouldn't get the right return since he's not a big name per se, and Shark being a rental wouldn't return a lot. I would be so mad if that trade happened, it wouldn't even be funny. There is 0% that is enough.

July 17, 201510 yr QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:03 PM) Schwarber might be better than Bryant IMO And he is a lefty bat and possibly at a premium position for that kind of offense Righty bats are more scarce than lefty bats. Remains to be seen if Schwarber can catch. That said, I'm okay with trading Sale for a bunch of elite talent. And after we do that, hire their scouts.
July 17, 201510 yr I predict the Sox will stand pat continuing to pretend they are in the race. After KC takes 3 of 4 or all four the fans may give up again but not the front office. Hawk will just say, "Glad to get them out of town now let's forget about that series, strap em up and play some ball." I predict no trades. If there's one deal it will be shipping Shark right at the trade deadline in a very minor transaction (for the Sox). The team that gets him will give us a non prospect or two cause it's so late in the season. It'll be one of the big money teams we send him to for little to nothing. That's IF they trade him which I doubt they will.

He could be a DH however.

No Bryant, Russell or Soler? No Sale. Anyway, I see Samardzjia to Toronto for Jeff Hoffman and Max Pentecost

July 17, 201510 yr I like when you come up with a crazy trade and people react "REALLY OMG" like it wasn't a crazy trade and you were being realistic
July 17, 201510 yr Two trades: Shark to the Astros for OF Brett Phillips and a low level prospect Quintana to the Cubs for C Schwarber + 2 lower prospects

I do think Shark will wind up a Yankee right before the trade deadline. There's a chance Sox could get KC and NY to bid against each other. Royals want WS crown this year; Shark to the Yanks might hurt KC in the ALDS.

July 18, 201510 yr QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:03 PM) Schwarber might be better than Bryant IMO Russell is the only one who I can see that could be better, especially as a SS. I'm not like others here who are "Bryant or bust" since it's highly doubtful Jed/Theo would deal him at all. But I'm good with Russell+.
