March 19, 201610 yr QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 09:24 AM) My guess is that this incident blows over soon and Sale's recent comments change nothing. Sale will get traded when the Sox decide they're rebuilding. And I don't see that happening until at least next July. Grim

March 20, 201610 yr Blurb in this article that there is no chance sox are trading Sale https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2016/03/...xnfM/story.html
March 20, 201610 yr Don't think this changes the odds but if Sox dont start contending here on out it think that will affect. 4 years left and I really can't see sox throwing 30 million a year for like at least 6 yrs. Edited March 20, 201610 yr by WhiteSoxLifer

March 20, 201610 yr QUOTE (whtsoxfan @ Mar 20, 2016 -> 11:19 AM) NO Chance of Chris Sale being traded http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/03/sox-...medium=facebook NO chance but just in case... Boston will trade you garbage for Sale... and people wonder why their fans are insane.
March 20, 201610 yr I don't think there's a chance he'll be traded, but to be honest, I wouldn't mind seeing Sale and Adam Eaton gone. Eaton has shown us how smart he is and now I see how he makes dumb decisions in the field and on the base paths. And Chris Sale has proven himself to be a disrespectful, hot tempered meathead. You can't go around MFing the senior vice president of the ball club... I don't care what you think he did. I'd suspend his ass for at least one start. He shouldn't be the opening day starter anymore. Trade him for a King's Ransom and keep it moving. I won't go to another game where Chris Sale is starting. F*** him.
March 20, 201610 yr It's a wait-and-see how the first couple months go, but it would be silly to think any trades would happen now because of this incident. Things will calm down. And if they don't calm down, they may envision a good future rotation with Rodon, Fulmer, Quintana, Adams, and a guy they draft in June. They aren't there yet. Edited March 20, 201610 yr by flavum
March 20, 201610 yr At this point, the only way the door to Sale getting traded opens is if this season blows up, and Chris Sale starts making noise about not wanting to be here.
March 20, 201610 yr Other team's fans coming with their s***ty trade proposals for Chris Sale is another aspect of this whole thing that pisses me off. If the White Sox do end up trading him it won't be for your minor league trash. Idiots. Edited March 20, 201610 yr by Chet Kincaid

As for Sale, for those of us who would never want to see him traded because of his talent , trading him just became a lot more feasible. For those of us who never understood but wondered why Eaton left AZ. on a sour note, we now understand.

March 21, 201610 yr If the White Sox traded people based on what they thought of KW, the roster would be a GreenSox utopia. It's like the Bulls with Jerry Krause. Edited March 21, 201610 yr by Dick Allen

March 21, 201610 yr QUOTE (LDF @ Mar 21, 2016 -> 09:39 AM) it is not the action or intent, it was the reasoning and spitting it there that made the org looked bad. When it got out that Jordan and Pippen and Phil Jackson made fun of Jerry Krause, or when the White Sox defied Terry Bevington, should players have been traded? This all comes down to what side you are on. If you think LaRoche had no case, everyone that stuck up for him was totally wrong and should be punished. That is why Sale and Eaton deserve some sort of punishment for violating JR's gag order. Yet when an anonymous player says some players didn't like him on the field after said gag order was issued, no problem popping that off. And vice versa. This is going to go away pretty quickly, hopefully forever, which will include not holding grudges and trading productive players with very reasonable contracts away just because they don't like KW.

March 21, 201610 yr To be honest, I don't care what happened... you can't MF the Vice President and call him a liar in front of the team - much less the entire world. Think about what that says about the organization. What about when young kids in the system see that? How about potential free agents? There might be a free agent that sees that and is like "Wow... that organization is really out of control - no thank you". Chris Sale should be suspended at least a game for conduct detrimental to the team.
