Thread: Sale drawing trade interest

  1. #1

    Sale drawing trade interest

    This was all over boston media. Who fucking wants this guy at his price? Yes, he’s healthy, for now. If he coughs or goes to get a sandwich, he will be out for the year! Sox are better served dealing at the deadline if he stays healthy
    Hal sucks

    Well, this is a twist, other teams having reported interest that won't come to anything.

    MLB writers need something, anything to write about over the slow Christmas season.

    The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.

    While all the winning organizations are flying down the autobahn at top speed in their Bugatti Chiron’s and koenigsegg jesko’s, Hang’em Chaim has our 1978 ford pinto on blocks in the garage!

    I'd almost bet some GMs are trying to take advantage of Bloom's Grinch status by trying to help him out and taking Sale off his hands -- as long as Chaim agrees to pay half of the contract again. At half price, Chris would be worth taking a flier on, because that's about the cost of an average MLB starter these days.

    You can almost hear the devious wheels turning: he did it once with Price... let's see how desperate this sucker is to keep his job in Boston...

    If the Sox eat $40mil over the next two years, I’d be willing to deal off a nothing prospect to take him off your hands. His upside is worth the $5-$10mil. But at $29 mil per annum, he isn’t worth it

    Sale's tax hit is $25.8 mill. Eating $20 mill a year of it would be colossally stupid.

    We are still looking to bolster our starting rotation.
    Not .sure it's a wise move to trade him when his value is so low. Despite what our Yankee fan says, Sale still has more upside than anyone else.

    Just because someone is drawing trade interest doesn’t mean their making an offer that makes sense for Boston…

    Sale is at his lowest value. You don’t deal him now. But Bloom seems to be a special kind of stupid, so look for a discount

    He was at his lowest value right at the time of surgery. Second lowest, was when they said he'd miss the rest of '22. He's not at the lowest, now.

    Why are rumors starting, now?
    When you say it's gonna happen now
    When exactly do you mean?

    Like I say, they need something to write about during the slow holiday season.

    Consider the source of the post suggesting it.
