    Both teams with enough to get Sale. Means they are asking for the moon. They should, but we shouldn't be giving it to them.

    Braves and Red Sox are probably who it comes down too. They must really love Sale.

    Looks like the asking price will either go down or Sale won't be traded.

    Could be a good thing for the Braves.

    Flip Inciarte for two top 50 prospects. Trade those along with Teheran or Folty for Sale and add some other filler arms/bats like Sims/Ruiz.

    Mallex
    Swanson
    Freeman
    Kemp
    Markakis
    Garcia/Rodriguez
    Flowers
    Peterson/Rodriguez

    Sale
    Dickey
    Teheran/Folty
    Colon
    Garcia

    With the arms in the pen that we have in the pen thats a WC team.

    To be fair, they're just saying what they want, not realistic scenarios.

    The guy that makes me laugh is the one who said he didn't want to trade with us. Maybe he's afraid of Coppy.

    As I have said all along, just because teams have the prospects doesnt mean they are willing to give them up. We just need to avoid bidding against ourselves. If we have the best offer then its take it or they can keep Sale. I assume a package starts with Albies/Foltynewicz. Who is going to give up a SS and SP the quality of those 2 that are likely to spend most of 2017 in the majors? The Red Sox are not trading Moncada or Benintindi.

    Swansby, Albies, Maitian, Riley, and one of their pitchers would be a fantastic haul IMO
    Good lord.

    In Heyman's latest article: While it seems unlikely they’d include young shortstop and top prospect Dansby Swanson, they’ve made some heavy prospect packages that at least have the sides talking. There’s no word that anything is close yet.

    This is way more than just "smoke," boys.

    What does Heyman know in comparison to some on this board?

    Nah Boston would only want Sale if the price came down.

    Swanson's the face of the franchise, and from Georgia, dont think they trade him.

    Unless Coppy would add some bats in FA.

    This is why you rush to fill all your needs early. Now you get to settle back and be "in" on anyone and see what happens.

    That isn't bad, though I hate losing Albies and Allard (obviously every trade for a good player hurts though). Folty I kinda hate losing, but Sale is better, so it hurts less.
