The Red Sox acquire Chris Sale

[ColdPint]

Jesus its like the red six have an endless supply of prospects to trade.

 

Well, they bought Moncada. Anyone could have had him really, all it cost was $.

 

The Sox, Yankees, etc are always in a prospect rich position because they have ownership that spends heavily.

 

And here we are salivating over Steve Pearce.

You leave Steve Pearce out of this you hear me?

[burlingtonbandit]

Red Sox seem to have stole Sale.

[bronson44]

Playoffs are too stressful anyway. This is much better for our health.

[dineke]

2020-223 Dodgers vs Yanks

 

Try back a little later

 

Good thing the mlb playoffs are random.

[Frenchsoup]

I can't wait for BJ Upton vs Chris Sale matchup, Shapiro is going to look like a genius.

[Jonn]

Red Sox seem to have stole Sale.

 

I agree between his bargain contract for 3 years and not getting the major league outfielder they coveted. Not enough in my opinion.

[Ehjays]

Good for them in acquiring him, That's why its important to build a deep farm system.

[Governator]

lol! That's over $33MM / yr...

 

[Belliss101]

Life sucks

[HERPDERP]

Sucks for the Yanks. They fell short $5m for the bid

[Brownie19]

Sale and Price...not many have a better 1-2 punch than that

 

amazing you can forget to include the AL Cy Young winner...

[Jonn]

Remember when we wanted a college pitcher and drafted Deck McGuire instead of Chris Sale. That was fun. McGuire just had that big body you couldn't ignore!

You mean like T.J. Zeuch?

[ChrisS]

lol!

 

 

Am I missing something? I get that Its Chris Sale but 100 mill for 3 years.. how is he worth "way more"?

[flafson]

That seems like a cheap price to pay for Sale. I get it that Moncada is highly regarded but Sale is out of this world.

It's almost like trading Moncada for Donaldson, we would never do that.

[jaysblue]

Grant is probably very angry right now!

Hey - they got an A-ball closer and a guy striking out 25% of the time in A-ball too!!!

 

Are the White Sox targeting players who strike out too much? bunch of f***ing f***s.

Nope you're not missing anything. I was just highlighting stupidity.

1 WAR = $9M

 

5 x 3 x $9m = $135M

 

Although I doubt Heyman knows that

[glory]

Moncada better turn into a f***ing star.

[RealAccountant]

Shapiro should focus on getting us moved to the AL Central

[AdamGreenwood]

Fortunately, they still only have one ace in the playoffs.

[z3r0s]

improves the Red Sox, but I don't see how it is some death blow to anyone else competing.

 

Bring it Sox! (sucks tho, I like Sale, now I can't )

[ChrisS]

1 WAR = $9M

 

5 x 3 x $9m = $135M

 

Although I doubt Heyman knows that

 

Yeah but it doesnt work like that though.

Mike Trout is the best player in the world but I wouldnt say he is worth 9x9x3= 243 mill over 3 seasons.

[Ray]

 

That's an insane price during the trading deadline.

 

If I were the White Sox, I really would've pressed more for Benintendi or Devers instead of those other two prospects.

[Brownie19]

This is only going to fuel up the casuals claiming Rogers is cheap because we didn't back up the brinks truck for Jose and EE.....instead settling for Steve Pearce - whoever he is.

 

I'm going to go climb into a cave for the next 6 months. See ya guys.

[glory]

Time to steal Adam Eaton.

[intentional wok]

I must learn to see the world as you do. Come, give me your eyes.

[Brownie19]

That's exactly how it works. That's what Trout is worth. He's good.
