Whisox05 Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) Besides swanson not much position player wise in top 10. Mostly all pitchers. Would rather deal came from dodgers or boston with more position player depth. Plus side just adds another team going after sale. Could be nice bidding war Edited November 15, 2016 by WhiteSoxLifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) Yeah, I don't see Braves as an ideal partner. For me, a package would have to be around Inciarte, Swanson, and Albies, but that's still on the light side.

caulfield12 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/mids...3V4MiHDLd9g2.97 Dansby Swanson...SS Obviously, we already have Anderson. Not sure that trading all those guys like Albies, Newcomb, Allard, Soroka, Toussaint, Fried, etc., makes sense for them. They have a lot of young pitching talent, but the White Sox need the opposite. Foltynewicz is another name to watch who has a ton of upside, but mixed results so far. Demeritte who came over from TEX is their big power bat right now.

Braves don't have the an upper echelon pitcher or hitter to headline. I find it hard to believe they would trade Swanson when they are in a rebuild.

He's not going to put up huge offensive numbers, but should always be between 2.5-4.0 in the WAR category. He's a lot more valuable in a bigger outfield than G-Rate.

ChiSoxFanMike Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I can't envision a deal happening here...but I hope the Sox use this as leverage on Boston/LA/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 07:11 AM) I agree. It's nice to have another team interested though I guarantee that every team is interested in Chris Sale- interest isn't the issue. One thing I find interesting is that Boston has not been mentioned by beat writers lately, but the Dodgers and Braves have. Could mean something, could mean nothing.

Whisox05 Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) http://www.fanragsports.com/mlb/heyman-bra...m-serious-time/ "The Atlanta Braves have joined the Chris Sale derby in a big way and are among the teams trying hardest to land one of baseball’s best pitchers. The White Sox listened to offers at the July trade deadline for Sale, but rival teams seem to believe there is a greater likelihood than ever that Sale will be dealt this winter. The White Sox are said to be listening on co-ace Jose Quintana and just about all their veteran players, including Todd Frazier and Melky Cabrera, who are free agents after the year." For people saying that can't see sale being traded its pretty telling when when teams apparently trying pretty hard plus its the offsesson when more teams can bid Edited November 15, 2016 by WhiteSoxLifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisox05 Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Heard the Braves expressed interest in Sale before the trade deadline as well. https://t.co/nUeOm3qZjV https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/798521568276008960 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatScott82 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 At this point, I'm assuming most MLB clubs will express interest. It's a matter of which team has the assets and the guts to pull the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Interest isn't the issue. It's getting that one team to give you what you want for Sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting that one team to give you what you want for Sale. Odds are they should get that. There are a bunch of teams that Sale would put over the top to win now. We're not that.

Dunt Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I could see it getting done for a package revolving around Albies, Maitan, and a couple high ceiling arms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need hitters in a Sale deal. The Braves don't have an Andrew Benintendi or Cody Bellinger without giving up Swanson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 This feels like a 3 team scenario. I really don't see the Braves unloading Swanson. But they could easily get some top position player talent from another team sent the Sox way if they include enough arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I'm confused about Braves team makeup. Doesn't seem like they are on the cusp of contention that I expected for a trade like this. Glad they are involved but confused by this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just signed RA Dickey and Bartolo Colon- so they're pulling a White Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
