I have a strange feeling that the Red Sox make the deal.

 

No inside sources or anything, just feel like Red Sox are more willing to get a deal done.

 

You know DD was gonna be lurking deep into the game. He's arguably done more "win now" trades than any other exec currently in the game.

Chisox asked for benintendi, as everyone has (bos wants to keep). Chisox likes Jackie bradley Jr. Very much, and others

 

Ugh. Although I suppose Sox could turn around and trade JBJ and Q to Nats for an absolute haul.

True. I hadn't thought of it this way. But if the Sox "love" JBJ why would they go and flip him?

Yeah, I doubt that Boston will trade Benintendi after the way that he played down the stretch.

 

I'd be happy with Bradley, Moncada, Kopech, Devers, and a lesser minor-league outfielder for Sale and Melky. That would address CF and 3B through 2020.

The #Redsox and #Nats now in a dual battle for #WhiteSox ace Chris Sale with #Braves as dark horse

 

This is the moment we have all been waiting for. Who decides to put the top name into the pile?

This reads to me like the Red Sox are leaking this and saying, no AB you get JBJ. For posturing

That is a pretty solid framework.

Dombrowski will put in Benintendi or Moncada, IMO. No way Nats part with Turner unless it was part of a bigger deal.
