Wow. Red Sox takin' it up a notch today.

That Red Sox forum that was linked to in the Thornburg thread is about ready to riot in the streets over this deal, after seeming to love the Thornburg trade for what its worth.

 

They made a good deal for Thornburg. While we got some decent pieces, Boston didnt give up anyone that matters to them.

 

Sale is a different deal. They gave up their minor league system for a VERY talented pitcher who might also be insane.

Any sneak previews available on Boston's retro uniform for 2017? :laughing

Hopefully this results in the Nationals going all in on McCutchen, both removing him as an option for the Dodgers and setting the bar higher for a Braun trade.

Or, maybe the Dodgers trade for McCutchen, driving Washington to make an insane offer for Braun and guarantee his option and un-defer his deferrals to facilitate trade.

Dave Cameron at Fangraphs nailed this one pretty head on:

Using Fangraphs values, he called Moncada and Kopech or Benintendi and Devers in exchange for Sale.

 

It's a great return for the White Sox - but Sale is a great player with three years of control at a reasonable price tag.
