All things being equal, I get that amount is probably on the table for someone... I just couldn't trust Harper to play 150+ games a season for all that time. DH sure, but not in DC of course. @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame; those were fun times to be a fan, but it's been oversaturated so bad that there isn't any "hatred" anymore. I'm 95% positive it was once legal to assault a Yankee fan in Fenway Park and vice versa. Especially when it's like series # 3 between the two in early part of the season. Or worse... both teams having been eliminated from the playoffs, and they feel they have to show every single game of the series instead of the games that actually mean something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brass Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Per Ken Rosenthal, the Red Sox are set to acquire Chris Sale from Chicago for Yoan Moncada, Michael Kopech, and two other prospects. I'd rather the White Sox take Jackie Bradley, Jr. instead of Yoan Moncada (who I think will be something special) but if that's the price for a top-tier pitcher, then thems the breaks. Welcome to Boston, Mr. Sale. On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGM13 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Sale and Price in the same rotation. Heh. That little pun is about the only upside to this from a Jays fan's point of view. GO OILERS-GO BLUE JAYS-GO ESKIMOS-GO COLTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 If I was a White Sox fan I'd be ecstatic that the damn team finally chose a direction.

2001mark Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 High risk, high reward for the Red Sox. I'm okay with that, they blow it often enough. @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Was there any team that could've given up more? I feel like one of the MLB's best pitchers w/ a very modest contract that's only 27 years old should've gotten a king's ransom. They got the debatable #1 overall prospect in baseball and 3 of Boston's top 10 prospects, but is Moncada that much of a sure thing? His scouting report reads similar to Jorge Soler, and he's not exactly lighting things up these days. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

I think Moncada is going to be the next Robinson Cano+speed, Michael Kopech is gonna be a lights out closer, Luis Basabe should be an average OF and the other guy's got velocity I guess. Plus Chicago doesn't have to pay any of Moncada's $31.2 million signing bonus. Huge prospect haul that was definitely fair but it probably won't be fun for Boston in about five years. Such is life under Dave Dombrowski. GO OILERS-GO BLUE JAYS-GO ESKIMOS-GO COLTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Sox insisted that Dansby Swanson be a piece of the package from the Braves, which the Braves rightly told them to kick rocks. From all accounts, the White Sox wanted a package akin to the one the Braves hauled in from the Diamondbacks when Swanson came here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 The Red Sox getting Chris Sale without having to part with Andrew Benintendi or any of their ML roster is pretty damn amazing if you ask me. ...which is not something I'd want to hear if I was a White Sox fan.

CS85 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Cubs and Royals in tense talks for Wade Davis. Only heavily rumored player going back to KC is Jorge Soler. Talks have stalled, but wouldn't be shocked if deal is done by morning. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

Crabcake Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Huge move by Boston. Sale is going to let them waltz to the crown... the AL East crown. Teams that "win" the offseason never seem to pan out. That's what I'm hoping for, anyway. sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
