Thanks Chris, but it's about damn time.

You can put a big red X in front of Sale's face on your sig. :hawk:

 

I will miss Sale's dominance but I won't miss his childish ways so I say WELCOME TO CHICAGO YOAN MONCADA!

Hadn't thought of it that way, but if he steps out of line he will be fried there. The White Sox and the Chicago media really protected the guy. That won't happen in Boston.

 

And if he tanks against divisional foes or melts down in the 2nd half, their fan base will destroy him

I'm glad your elbow held on long enough for us to get some good value for you.

 

Amen. And I'm definitely rooting for him to stay healthy and be a Hall of Famer someday, but could you imagine if they didn't move him, and he got hurt next year?

 

I'm very happy with the timing of this deal.

Pathetic they couldn't sniff the playoffs with this guy in his prime.

 

Overall what needed to happen for the future health of the organization, and I wish him the best in his career

 

I always looked forward to going to games that he started because he gave us a great chance to win. I'll always remember him making Joe Mauer look silly, which rarely happened in his prime.

 

That being said this deal does have upside for the Sox. Moncada is an excellent prospect, Kopech is MLB.com's #67 overall prospect and one that is trending upwards, Basabe has interesting tools and could develop into something and Diaz is a flyer on a reliever with a plus fastball

 

I won't judge this by just the Sale trade, we need to look at the offseason as a whole to get a better picture. Realistically we will not know if this was a good deal or not for years

soxtalk is just as annoying but way more interesting...

 

It's better to trade a player one year early, than one year too late

 

The White Sox could not really risk him getting injured or losing any trade value at the start of a rebuild

 

Now for other domino's to fall in Melky, Frazier, Abreu, Gonzalez, etc.

 

I would put Quintana on the block and see what offers you get for him
