Panerista Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 02:35 PM) 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 And it's better to trade a guy and be bad than to be bad and watch him walk, which would almost certainly have happened without a rebuild.

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 It definitely leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. I wanted nothing more than to see Sale win in the playoffs or win his Cy Young in a White Sox uniform. Never thought I'd see the day the Sox trade the best starting pitcher to ever wear the uniform in order to fix years of ineptitude by the front office. Hears hoping Moncada and Kopech hit their ceilings. Bring on the firesale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that matters is this We needed a lot more than Chris Sale for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 02:52 PM) I'm totally against becoming a perennial last place team and with this trade, we are a last place AL Central team, for what could be a long time to come. Well, we were already there with Sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS. If Sale helps them win the WS, it was clearly worth it for them, but it would not mean the White Sox lost at all even if Moncada doesn't turn into Trout, which is likely.

Mike Trout tore it up at every step of the minors and majors. Go look up his old stats. Moncada is nowhere near his level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black_Jack29 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 While it's unfortunate that the Sox couldn't build a contender around Sale, I'm happy that the Sox now have the #1 prospect in baseball and two other players who will help them contend a couple of years down the road.

jamesdiego Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Happy for the front office for getting their guy and finally taking steps to rebuild the franchise.

SI1020 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Moncada will not equal Trout, Kopech needs a lot of work and the other two guys look like filler at best to me. Wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
