Sale, Quintana, Anderson untouchable.

I get that. You need premium players to build a winner. I'm glad. You can't find a Sale no matter how many assets you acquire. Don't move those guys.

But Abreu should be on that list. Fucking cheap ass Sox. Only reason those three are untouchable is because they are cheap AND premium.
Abreu is expensive and premium...they are willing to trade him.

Shit just gets old.

Can't win with him take the ransom and rebuild already

Collect assets and be a top five prospect team and work with that to build a winner. Obviously sprinkling bullshit isn't bringing the fans back. Don't be scared of the rebuild and people will appreciate a young up and coming team. What we have now is the Bears with Jerry Angelo after the super bowl appearance. An average team going no where but always looking good enough to say hey we are close no real changes needed just some tweaks. Not everyone is a dumb ass to buy that jargon

I bet it was the Dodgers. With Kershaw out for an extended period of time and all the top tier assets they have, they could definitely pull it off. The only other contending teams that could offer a "Kings Ransom" for Sale would be the Cubs, Dodgers, and Red Sox IMO. Red Sox would definitely be interested as well. Doubt the Sox have it in them to trade him across town, and not sure the Cubs would offer a "Kings ransom" for Sale when SP isn't a need at the moment.

Well the White Sox need to figure out what they are doing first. Jerry doesn't want to go through a full rebuild. But they have some key pieces (Fulmer, Rodon, Anderson) to build around.


Gotta ask themselves. Will they be able to compete for a WS while having Sale under team control?

I think that nobody scratches the best player over a non violent incident in the clubhouse

Not a joke: Source says Sale blowup was because he didn't want to wear throwbacks, so he cut the jerseys up so no one could wear them.

I don't think that it was the Dodgers in that they really aren't loaded with young talent. Maybe the Giants, though and the Red Sox might also be a player.

or he wants to be traded...or his alter ego that usually sits in the back of his mind and stays quite stood up and said...nah Fuck you Chris Sale I am going to do this for you, time to get traded.

Thats what mine does.

I think this relationship is just over. I was against it, but fuck it....trade Sale to the Cubs. Its the best for everyone. Its a solid to Chicago, and Sale doesn't have to move or disrupt his family. Its a solid to Sale. And they have as much good ammo sitting there with no path to the majors.

Ask for a bunch of the high upside pitchers Cubs drafted last two years, and all kinds of bats. Sale would put the Cubs over the top, and the White Sox may be in positiion to rise in 2-4 years.

I mean make them fucking pay. Pay alot. But make this work.

Sale on his contract is the most valuable asset in baseball, imo.

make them sell their soul, but if you don't do it Sox are crippled idiots.
