Have mixed emotions on Sale. He was a White Sox player but I liked him. Always seemed like a classy guy and always gave his best on the field.
I'd really love for the White Sox to get fleeced since they have decided to tank.

No.
Just no.
Chris Sale is an elite LHP. That's worth a shitload whether you want to admit that or not.
You would trade Sale for Trout? Straight up? Or for Bryant? You are insane.

Let us brainstorm non physical things he could have been involved in to get sent home

No. I'm saying trading for Chris Sale is in essence the same as trading for Trout.
You're not getting adequate return for it, the asking price is too high.

Dropped one in someones locker.
Wanted to bring Drake LaRoche into the clubhouse.

Unless they are lying about the non physical
Either way his trade value is basically in the shitter now anyway

Sale is an elite sp and is under control for multiple years on a team friendly deal. He's the guy you unload your farm system for if you're a contender.
Of course. But you aren't going to trade elite MLB everyday players for him.
Sox trade Sale and Q and they'll get a kings ransom of blue chip players for them.
You might as well, because doing what they are doing ain't gonna work, and these players are gone within a couple of years. Anytime you can get up and coming everyday players for pitchers you do it.
Thus, the Cubs traded Shark and Hammel for Addy.
Pitchers suck...Sell high.

Dombroski is about to trade all of Pawtucket and Portland for a cat that puts whoopie cushions under people's seats.
Hope it works out for him

If the Cubs were in a different position I would think Bryant + Specs for Sale and Robertson would be fair.

Won't shock me to see Mookie or JBJ in place of Moancada when the deal happens

And why should I believe a beat writer on Twitter? At least show some evidence to back it up.
Second edit: Apparently that clubhouse incident is real, so I stand wrong. Leaving this up to show off my stupidity.

I just assumed it was a practical joke gone awry.
This Sale trade sounds worse and worse all the time.
Introducing an actual asshole into that locker room? In Boston?
Where they'll destroy you for every hit given up?
Ehhhhhhhh

None of this would be happening if Drake LaRoche were still in that clubhouse.

Seems like Heyward rolls over every ball. His offense is limiting his value this year so much.

Mets should trade for Fernandez, not to pitch but to bat when men are in scoring position.

I'd never give up an elite player that plays every day for a SP that goes every 5th day. But times are different today. Dombrowski is going to empty the farm.

Yep. And like he did in Detroit, won't mean jack shit in the end.

So Sale apparently destroyed all the throwback unis because he didn't want to wear them?

Sale hates the throwbacks? He's a monster.
Silver Arrows

oh okay what
Which throwback was it, mind you? The candycane striped one, or the one that's essentially their current home jerseys but in red?
if so then damn you sale, both of those are awesome

As the most famous Sox fan his reaction is perfectly fitting for that shit show.
This game will never end. One the bright side I'll be at the game tomorrow for Tex and Alex's last home game.
hopefully

You have to be shitting me with that throwback uni stuff lol
i tried turning the Sox game on and they are on rain delay
imagine tanking the trade value of your best player by sending him home from a game that could get postponed anyway
