Chisoxfn Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 That said, would take a massive offer and even then as Dave Hayes reported, he puts the odds at .01% that the Sox move him. Previous reports from a day ago indicating Sox turned down an absolute haul, but as Sox fans, we know an absurd haul is the starting point (not an absolute haul). Dodgers and Rangers reportedly two teams that have showed interest, however, we could presume that given Dombrowski's ability to land big names, there has to be the possibility that the Red Sox would be discussing Sale as well.

Bob Sacamano Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 According to T.R. Sullivan of mlb.com, the Rangers are "making a serious effort" to land Sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox are going to have a number of options if they're serious about moving Sale and going in a new direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I have no interest in Texas' package. Give me Boston's or Houston's offer instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would much prefer what Texas could offer to Houston. A deal around Profar, Tate, and Mazara would trump whatever Houston would offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) Use Texas to drive up the price for Boston of LA IMO. I'd trade Frazier for Gallo but not Sale or Quintana. For Sale, it starts with Odor. Odor, Mazara and we have something to talk about. Edited July 22, 2016 by SouthSideSale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Saw Evan Grant tweet a few days ago that Profar really wants to be a SS next year. Don't think that would happen here. Lots of reasons I'm not a fan of the Rangers two main guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) A lot of hype on Profar, but where's the production? He's been a top prospect just a little too long. Pass. Edited July 22, 2016 by GreenSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 @aycockonxion According to a source, the White Sox have told the Astros that Sale is only available if they include Correa. LOL yup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Profar has the same amount of team control as Sale and less than Quintana. Would have to be a secondary piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I am very much against moving him unless a player such as Correra comes back in return. That contract is insanely valuable and should drive the asking price up IMO.

I don't think a team will subtract from it's MLB core during the post season race however. More of a move in the off-season when you can try to plug the hole with a free agent or another trade.

GreenSox Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) Asking for Correa says that Hahn/Williams are either a) not serious or b) still wed to this nutty notion of a "3 year window" and that they can actually contend this year. Astros are contenders. They will not trade their stud SS in July. Nor should they. And that's not who Hahn should be looking for anyway. You can get a buyer's surplus this year by grabbing elite prospects, not with established major leaguers. Ask for Bregman +...that's where the surplus lies. yes, they are prospects; but the Sox are looking to close multiple holes and build a weak organization.
