That A's game still going?

Padres and Orioles are close to a deal. Ubaldo Jimenez would go to the Padres. Melvin Upton Jr. would go to the Orioles.

Oof.

The kind of trade where you agree to the deal then feel a need to wash your hands. But you're never quite able to get the feeling of being dirty scrubbed off.

 

[Caja 117]

I can't, legit, just can't

Is incredible how this shit is repeating again this season...They are not going to sell just to loose in the one game Playoff game, you just watch.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

"You go, we go"

Fowler didn't miss a beat. He changes the whole team when he plays. I can't see how the Cubs can't sign him next year.

Yeah I have to think so too.

 

[BFIB]

And that bat flip good lord so good

He should have sat the bat down and ran the bases as fast as possible.

I want to believe this team is about to go on a tear in the second half, but we've seen this tease before.

They are not even going to make the playoff game this year.
This is unbelievable, that Hal Steinbrenner is so detached from the baseball operations that he can't see the obvious. But the problem is season ticket holders like a buddy at work. Says he needs to see something if he's going to keep going. Something being I assume chapman an aging A-Rod and a broken down teixeria.

 

[Chris R]

Baseball shouldn't be played this early. Fucking east coast

 

[rando14]

Cruz grand slam!! *faints

 

[Mortemis]

Boomstick!

My boi

RA Dicked.

 

[rando14]

[Lexxism]

Just 2 more months and I wont have to see Dickey again

 

[PROh1bited]

Just 2 more months and I wont have to see Dickey again

And his terrible personal catcher, that can't do anything right.

 

[Macattk15]

Well this is a fun game.

 

[Chris R]

Well this is a fun game.

I might feel safe with another salami

Lol why would you charge the other dugout alone man!?

 

[Macattk15]

What an exciting game as a Mariner fan.

Meanwhile I tuned out a while ago.

Might as well call it a sweep then

Wade Miley pitches tomorrow sooooooooooooooooooooo.

Ok, Mariners might win this one after All

White Sox want 5 top prospects for Sale

 

[Chris R]

Let me guess, Benoit is in next to continue the collapse? Mariners still might lose this

 

[Malvingt2]

White Sox want 5 top prospects for Sale

How long he is under control by the team?

 

[Macattk15]

How long he is under control by the team?

Free Agent for the 2018 season but says team option in 18 and 19 ... and he's pretty cheap.

5 top prospects still seems a bit much.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Why even trade him (Sale)? He's 27 and already one of the 2-3 best pitchers in baseball. You can trade him for a handful of top prospects and your odds are pretty low that any one of them will end up being as good as Chris Sale. Just lock him up Kershaw style and build around him.

 

[Friggz]

Sale was scratched from his start tonight....let the speculation begin. I'm thinking dumbrowski traded the farm

Also. I'm declaring Shane Greene for didi one of the 10 most lop sided trades in history...

 

[Frozenprince]

Sale got scratched. Get ready y'all here comes the storm.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Joe Nathan will be a Cub tomorrow.

 

[rando14]

Do it, Dombrowski

DO IT

 

[jbug617]

It's going to be Texas.

Boston media is going to go crazy when that happens because of Dombrowski trading Espinoza for Pomeranz.

Whoever does it will destroy their farm system.

Oh shit!

Edit: He's just ill.

Shit's bout to get crazy.

Chris Sale, scratched by #WhiteSox today, is not believed to be ill, according to two sources.

W.Sox don't have the money to lock him up Kershaw style and that's if he'd stay. I'd doubt it.

Oh boy

 

[jbug617]

Red Sox offer would probably start with:

Moncada or Benintendi
Devers
Kopech or E Rod

 

[gamz]

Oh boy

They got that kings ransom, but from whom?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Change those "or"'s to "and"'s and you probably have Chicago's attention.

 

[Frozenprince]

Chris Sale is the best LHP in the AL, is on the best contract in baseball, is under team control for 3 years. And is under 30.

He's worth an entire top end of a farm system. If it's the Sox, that's Bienintendi + Moancada + Devers/Kopech + another player, probably.

And that's not even the whole deal if the White Sox send Robertson too.

Trading for Chris Sale is the same as trading for Mike Trout. There's a point where the assets you give is too much for equitable returns.

Moncada and Benintendi also in the Portland lineup at the moment.

Might be Texas.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Rosenthal says Sox are "releasing a statement soon" about Sale.

I'm leaning towards it being Texas now if the Red Sox are playing those two guys tonight.

And if it is Texas, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

Hell no! Pitchers suck and always get hurt. You can't compare an elite pitcher with an elite everyday player. The Sox would kill for am Bryant and Sale straight up and the Cubs would be insane.

 

[jbug617]

Sale did something to get sent home

 

[cashman]

idk Sale is good and all, but he's got a lot of miles on that arm and his wind up and fram always makes me think his arm is going to fly off any day now

It's Texas.

Wild card Houston?

Chris Sale involved in a "clubhouse incident before the game," team says. #WhiteSox

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 36s37 seconds ago
More on Chris Sale from #WhiteSox: "The incident, which was non-physical in nature, currently is under further investigation by the club."

False alarm everybody he just did some stupid shit to someone.
