Can say @whitesox love @RedSox CF Andrew Benintendi. He could be the front man in a multi-player Chris Sale trade if talks progress. https://twitter.com/philgrogers/status/758012007006277632

An interesting trade candidate who is drawing some buzz if the White Sox sell: James Shields. 2.53 ERA in last 6 starts, SD paying most of $ https://twitter.com/The_Xsport/status/757995186127572992

Quintana is one of the most underrated pitchers in baseball, a 27-year-old left-hander owed just $40 million through 2020. One could argue it’s every bit as good a deal as Sale’s, and the White Sox are treating it accordingly. One source said the price on Quintana is nearly as high as that on Sale. Another characterized it thusly: “They’re treating him like a [No.] 1.” Quintana’s track record doesn’t sparkle quite like Sale’s, but considering the options on the starting-pitching market, not to mention that a week of haggling remains, the White Sox’s tack with their pitchers is proper. If not Sale or Quintana, who? Jeremy Hellickson? Andrew Cashner? Edinson Volquez? Ervin Santana? With Rich Hill’s blister slowing up his market, the Rays asking for the moon on Jake Odorizzi and Matt Moore, the prospects of Julio Teheran and Anthony DeSclafani being dealt unlikely, and the rest of the candidates underwhelming, it’s how a guy like …

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/what-makes-cl...&soc_trk=ma 4. Chris Sale even more difficult. When the White Sox started listening to offers on Sale – this was before he gutted their throwback jerseys – they did so because closed-mindedness in a seller’s market is for fools only. You shop. You listen. You move forward if a proper offer presents itself. Here’s what makes Sale particularly attractive to buyers: His price isn’t going down, not for a good long while. Should a team pick up both of his club options, nearly 3½ years remain on Sale’s contract at a total of about $43 million. It is one of the game’s friendliest contracts. The White Sox, then, are going to ask for a giant haul of prospects whether it’s this summer, this winter, next summer, next winter or even the summer and winter of 2018. Trade value doesn’t wobble much this far out from free agency, and yet players like Sale are so infrequently traded in their prime that the deal White Sox GM Rick Hahn is seeking makes sense. If the Red Sox want Sale, the deal starts with Yoan Moncada or Andrew Benintendi (whom the White Sox wanted in last year’s draft before the Red Sox sniped him a pick before). If the Dodgers want Sale, the deal starts with Julio Urias. If the Rangers want Sale, the deal starts with Nomar Mazara. If the Astros want Sale, the deal starts with Alex Bregman. Most teams don’t have someone to build a trade around. Maybe one of them says OK, then tosses in three or four other top young players to boot. The fact that Sale is the only bona fide dude available – the impact arm so many contenders want and need – puts Hahn in a position of power. Granted, it’s one Sale himself lessened through the jersey cutting as well as his outburst against White Sox president Kenny Williams during spring training. No matter how great Sale is – and he’s great – the incidents have lent credence to the inmates-running-the-asylum vibe that emanates from the White Sox. The incident didn’t hurt his trade value in that anyone cares what he did to a jersey. It’s the sort of thing that forces Hahn and the rest of the White Sox to think, though, whether they really do want to keep Sale or instead do a little bait and switch with …

Clubs talking with Red Sox say they're still trying to do "something big." But for what high-end starter? Chris Sale? Sonny Gray? Mystery P? https://twitter.com/jaysonst/status/757592639252238336
