QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 07:19 PM) I'm confused...he says he would be surprised if Sale was traded to Boston in a deal centered around Bennintendi. No he said he thought sale would go to boston and would be centered around Benintendi. He said he wouldnt be surprised if the sox extended Frazier. He first messed up the frazier opinion and correctd it

That would leave a large portion of the roster available trade-wise. https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/796104278821769218 Remember, though, they don’t have to trade Sale, Quintana or anybody for that matter. So they need to get what they ask. https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/796104352591134721 They should be able to do that. Again, nothing confirmed by team. Just a feeling from what I'm hearing. https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/796104481268256768

I agree White Sox are moving toward a rebuild. And I think we are talking a full rebuild if it’s executed https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/796104048864874497 They would be looking for top prospects who are close to Major League ready, if not a year or so away. Not necessarily big league players. https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/796104148030803969 Wh Sox on a new path to sustainable player control and success."I feel the approach now is focusing on longer term benefits"said Rick Hahn https://twitter.com/MLBBruceLevine/status/796103523830071297

Ken Rosenthal article on top trade targets. Hes supposed to be talking about it on the hot stove on mlb network http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/gallery/ken-r...-targets-110716 The market conditions for a trade of Sale could not be much better. Sale is under control for three more seasons and $38 million -- not terribly beyond what Zack Greinke makes in a single year. The free-agent starters, meanwhile, are mostly pitchers that teams do not want, certainly not at market-driven prices. Will the White Sox want a ton for Sale? Of course. And they could get it, too.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 7, 2016 -> 10:09 AM) The impression I remember is that they wanted Bradley AND their top prospects. That is why the talks never got off of the ground. Probably didnt get off the ground cause boston didn't want to take away from their roster in the playoff chase. I think it was said offseasn would be better to talk those kinda trades

https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/redsox/2...hdSK/story.html Chicago White Sox — More than one GM has said that White Sox GM Rick Hahn is open for business on just about his entire roster. That includes Chris Sale and the rest of the rotation, Jose Abreu, third baseman Todd Frazier, and closer David Robertson.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 18, 2016 -> 02:13 PM) Jays trade for Navarro. Or are you referring to AFL roster? If that is the case, no idea. Colton got added on oct. 2 to the desert dogs roster. I kinda forgot all about him since the trade.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 06:05 PM) Yeah I agree. MLBTR article said we'd want a package of Bradley/Devers/Rodriguez?? That would be a horrible return for Sale. Bradley is overrated and our FO's infatuation with getting him rather than Benintendi/Kopech/Groome type guys is puzzling. QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 11:25 PM) I think MLBTR was just naming pieces that they felt would be expendable for Boston, not naming the entire package, or one they feel is fair. If its the recent mlbtr article then its going off of nick carfardo article which i posted earlier. https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/redsox/2...MCvK/story.html

https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/redsox/2...MCvK/story.html "Dave Dombrowski doesn’t strike me as the stand-pat type." Since the Red Sox already have a decent rotation, why not go for the luxury model — White Sox lefthander Chris Sale. If he’s in play, why wouldn’t the Red Sox make a trade bid? They inquired about him during the season and this time the White Sox might listen if the package is good enough. In talking to some of the White Sox pro scouting personnel, it’s obvious who they like and would want back from the Red Sox to make this blockbuster a reality. The White Sox have always coveted Jackie Bradley Jr., and they would also have to get an elite prospect back such as Yoan Moncada and/or Rafael Devers. The Red Sox could make a deal for the following reasons: Andrew Benintendi has impressed enough that if he could become Boston’s center fielder to replace Bradley, Devers would likely stay at third base. Moncada could always move to left field if he’s not part of the deal. The Red Sox may also have the option of using Shaw in left field to add another lefthanded bat to the lineup. A Sale, David Price, Rick Porcello, Eduardo Rodriguez, Steven Wright, Drew Pomeranz/Buchholz pool of starters would look pretty solid. The White Sox might even want Rodriguez in a deal with Bradley. If that’s the case, would you do it? Bradley is an interesting case. The Red Sox had to be concerned at the number of swing and misses he had the last few weeks of the season, and particularly in the playoff series against the Indians, during which he struck out seven times in 10 at-bats. It’s not that you judge a player based on just that, but the emergence of Benintendi gives you reason to consider whether Bradley is expendable. Then again, it’s difficult to find a center fielder with power (26 homers). When you think more deeply about it, it could be too heavy a price. To me i not high on jbj. Defensively hes good and got better but the post season swing and misses are alarming. The biggest turn off to me of him is the contract. Again trading 3 years of sale for 4 years of jbj and definitely hitting free agency cause hes a boras client doesn't seem like a good idea. Benintendi played well in his time with boston and was one of the more consistent hitters for them in the post-season. Give me a package of moncada, Benintendi, devers, kopech starting with and i would be happpy.

Hahn spoke briefly about the playoff pitching struggles of certain teams possibly elevating interest in Chris Sale and/or Jose Quintana... https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/786610886840418304 Hahn: "People tend to perhaps overreact to small samples in October. But I'm guessing, based on how things have gone so far ... https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/786611045506781184 More Hahn: "... we expected a lot of calls heading into the offseason, and this probably only reinforces that idea." https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/786611093485461504

Im really not big on getting jackie Bradley jr. Yes he would plug a hole now but you are only talking 4 years of control. Hes a boras client and with him seeming to be turning the corner for better is definitely going to free agency and going to cost a pretty penny. If hes included in a deal for sale then you are probably getting less amount of prospects back. Also if hes included are we going to be talking about trading him again because the sox cant let him walk in free agency for nothing cause they cant sign him. To me i would rather be trying to get a package of moncada, Benintendi, devers, kopech as a starting point cause they will have far more control.
