Winter Meetings Thread

I think we need to give it one more season honestly and see what we have with these guys. Bc Newcomb or Folty could turn into an ace and we wouldn't need Sale. We definitely don't need to empty the farm this early for anybody.

agreed

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.

The more teams out on Sale the better for us!

 

[cajunrevenge]

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.

Good lord.

it would be a fantastic haul

swanson and every one of our top ten prospects might be better - gotta aim high

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.

New prediction on potential Sale package. Albies, Folty, Mallex, Ruiz, and Allard.

This **** is making me nervous.

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.
