What would it take to get Chris Sale??

[poprocksncoke]

or Price... But that would be interesting if it came down to including Price...what would the red sox do

Sale>Price, would throw him in the deal with no hesitation.

Going to have to sell the farm to get him, it's that simple. Not many teams have the minor league prospects to get it done, IMO. Boston, Texas and Washington are probably the only ones capable.

Yes he certainly appears to be... But just having Sale wouldn't be the answer

Pablo Sandoval? Ricky Nolasco? What the hell?

ah the facepalm police by @Villain

did you not get the Sandoval part was a joke?

Yeah they would still need more pitching, just saying I'd rather have Sale than Price.

having them both would be ideal... He has somewhat turned it around (by his standards) and the offense has just let him down.

@Davis_Mike is the only one showing sanity here. Now, the Dbacks apparently don't know how to haggle because they overpaid big time for Shelby Miller, but still, he's on the right track. Look at other big time starters who have been traded...

RA Dickey brought Noah Syndergaard and Travis d'Arnaud.
James Shields brought Wil Myers and Jake Odorizzi.
Shelby Miller, as previously mentioned, brought Ender Inciarte, Dansby Swanson, and more.

You want a proven ace with multiple cost-controlled seasons, then expect to empty the farm AND give up MLB talent.

Say the Dodgers wanted to play ball on this one, the White Sox would be stupid if they're not demanding Corey Seager, Julio Urias, Jose de Leon, AND Joc Pederson, etc.. They're going to ask for ALL of a team's safe-bet young, cheap players and they're absolutely right to do so.

David Price isn't even a good suggestion unless the Bosox want to pay his contract, too. Why would the White Sox give up a cheap ace for an expensive one?

did you not get the Sandoval part was a joke?

Was that the only part that was a joke? I hope not...

All three names I mentioned were meant as jokes, cant believe i would have to explain that.

Cool, so want to add to the conversation with actual suggestions or just shitpost...?

 

[Villain]

ah the facepalm police by @Villain

Someone's gotta do it.

 

[rmilia1]

I wouldn't give up more than Hendricks, Soler/Scwarber and Contreras. That said the Cubs already have an elite staff. Some teams may give up more.

ok guys calm down, Villain is here, lets get serious about this shit.

Second part of the post, would be ok with the Red Sox trading anyone not named Betts, Bogaerts, Bradley for Sale but shitpost are fun too.

haha... Fair Enough.. I think I might start doing it just to do it because our systems are down at work and I am bored as Bleep!

Those are probably the only names the ChiSox would be interested in.

Then you don't get Sale.

The M's don't have enough in their whole farm system to trade.

 

[jeffro151]

Same for the O's.

 

[Villain]

The M's don't have enough in their whole farm system to trade.

They would have to package big leaguers like Taijuan Walker and Kyle Seager. I can't think of any team besides maaaybe the Cubs or, to a lesser extent, the Mets who might have a prayer of making a trade for Sale without crippling their own club in the process.

The Braves could do it but it wouldn't be helpful for them at all.
