LeftField Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Any chance that his outburst leads to a trade? Very rarely does a player openly call out someone in management like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor13 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Better odds that KW is FIRED finally!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggins Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 0% now, but if the team tanks, i'm sure they'll listen over the offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) I would be interested to know what is more likely, Sale gets traded or KW leaves either by force or by choice. I honestly am not sure. Probably KW leaving. Would have less adverse affect on the fanbase and less impact on future Free Agents deciding not to play here.

BlackSox13 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 For me it's too early to place odds. If enough players make a big enough stink to oust KW then Sale isn't going anywhere. If KW sticks around and the issue between him and Sale continues, the odds of Sale getting traded at some point do go up. How much, I'm sure I have no idea.

OmarComing25 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Little to no chance right now, but if the team wins 73-76 games again I could definitely see him traded in the offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAfan Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 This is all going to blow over. I don't see either of them going anywhere. Sale, after all, wants to win, and the Sox chances have improved without LaRoche. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 QUOTE (LeftField @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 11:15 PM) Any chance that his outburst leads to a trade? Very rarely does a player openly call out someone in management like that. there are 3 scenario's at play. 1. JR has the mtg and sale still does not relent 2. sale will get traded after the season. 3. the team is really out of the chase and some team will pay a king's ransom at the trading deadline. you should have another for eaton being traded. yes. as soon as they can find a suitor who will pay the cost.

Dick Allen Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 If Chris Sale gets traded because of this, it really would be time for JR to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I don't think that either of them go anywhere. It's Adam f***ing LaRoche. No chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, while I think the idea of trading Sale now over this stupid s*** is ridiculous, if he actively defies Reinsdorf they may not have a choice. Reinsdorf is the most loyal owner in all pro sports, I trust him to handle this in the proper manner, in the crazy, hypothetical scenario where Sale MF's him, there's really no coming back from that. Sale is a f***ing incredible talent that makes White Sox baseball palatable even when the team is s*** but he's not bigger than ownership.

That's one way to look at it, thanks for your opinion. Another is it would be far more idiotic to keep a toxic player around in order to keep a 500 count fanbase happy then to trade the malcontent and receive a ransom in players/prospects to move forward with. I don't want Sale traded, but if he isn't on board and ultimately continues acting out, it would be idiotic to keep him around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxFanMike Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I'd say it's very unlikely to happen now, but if the Sox fall flat on their faces again this season, I wouldn't be surprised to see Sale moved in the winter of 2016 or early 2017.

beautox Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 best case scenario: KW gets fired or leaves team actually performs and makes the post season. middle of the road: KW gets fired, team sucks total rebuild after the season sox are competitive in '18 from all the blue chips Sale, Q & Abreu bring in, + whatever they get for their 5th best bullpen and Frazier. Future core is Rodon, Fulmer and Anderson + all the blue chips. worst case scenario: KW stays, team sucks and sale is traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox are lucky to be where they are in attendance, it would take a hit in more ways than just attendance if they dealt Sale because he ran his mouth to JR.

JoshPR Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I think sale's beef is with kenny only. Not JR or Hahn or Ventura. I bet jerry reaches a happy medium with sale. Kenny needs to go. Why not just play out the season and let LaRoche go. Or if he sucked just release him. After it seemed chemestry was good this comes out. Why couldnt kenny just shutup about it for the better.... No because kenny wants attention. Thats why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Jack29 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 My guess is that this incident blows over soon and Sale's recent comments change nothing. Sale will get traded when the Sox decide they're rebuilding. And I don't see that happening until at least next July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
