OXON HILL, MD — A huge trade just went down between the Red Sox and White Sox. Ken Rosenthal reports that the Red Sox have acquired White Sox starter Chris Sale in exchange for top prospects Yoan Moncada and Michel Kopech, along with two other prospects, identities yet unknown. The Red Sox’ acquisition of Sale comes after days of buildup and speculation that the Nationals would acquire the ace lefty. Nope: he’s Boston bound.
Sale, 27, has pitched in the majors over parts of seven seasons. He owns a career 74-50 record with a 3.00 ERA and a 1,244/260 K/BB ratio in 1,110 innings. The lefty will earn $12 million in 2017, then has a club option for 2018 worth $12.5 million with a $1 million buyout as well as a 2019 club option worth $13.5 million with a $1 million buyout. Relative to what he would earn if he were a free agent today, Sale’s remaining salary is a bargain.
Which is why Boston is giving up a hefty load of prospects to get him. Moncada slumped after a callup to Boston late last season, but he was ranked the number one prospect by Baseball America in its midseason prospect evaluations. The infielder, who has played second and third base, is 21 and hit a combined .294/.407/.511 with 15 homers, 62 RBIs and 45 stolen bases over 106 games in high Class A and Double-A last year.
Kopech, 20, was the Sox’ first round pick in the 2014 draft, going 33rd overall. The righty topped out at high-A ball last season, posting a 2.25 ERA in 11 starts and striking out an astounding 82 batters in 52 innings.
We’ll have much more on this trade as the details emerge.

I hate that focker. Glad to see him out of our division. he is just the type of doosh that will fit in perfectly with the Red Sox. God forbid they ask him to pitch in the 1975 throwback uni's.

Decent trade for both. Red Sox get a legit ace for #4 money.. I'm by far not a prospect higher but I thought that moncada kid was supposed to be pretty good.

Wow, this reminds me of when they traded Hanley Ramirez for Josh Beckett. That was just as dumb as this is. You've got to keep Moncada.

 

And, Sale is only signed through next year, so they'll have to pay him at least $30 million/year to keep him after 2017.

Pretty sure he is wrapped up through 2019.

In July the White Sox were asking for Betts AND benintendi

I am assuming the team gets to keep the same contract, because there would be no trades if you had to negotiate afterwards.

Yup, Ol Dumbo was a blessing for other Central Division teams.

took 2 years for Dombrowski to empty the farm system

 

Pomeranz trade is going to end up being an embarrassment. never liked it from day one.

 

This trade is a no-brainer.

 

They still have to trade one of their starters, they have 4 lefties now.

 

Hopefully the Dodgers are interested in Price.

no way in hell I give up Moncada

I remember when the retards said, no way in hell I give up Carl Pavano and Tony Armas Jr

yah cause they were the top prospects in baseball at what point?

 

:lol:

 

After an excellent spring training, Pavano jumped up to Double-A in 1996 at the age of 20, going 16-5, 2.63 with a 146/47 K/BB in 185 innings, 154 hits allowed. That's a lot of innings for a 20 year old, but there was less attention paid to pitch counts and workload 14 years ago. Pavano's statistical performance was excellent, and scouts gave his slider and changeup above average marks, also liking his solid command of his 90-92 MPH fastball. He was rated the Number Five prospect in the Eastern League by Baseball America, behind Vlad Guerrero, Scott Rolen, Jamey Wright, and Luis Castillo. I was highly impressed with him, giving him a Grade B+ and ranking him as the Number Four pitching prospect in baseball.

Prospects are just that.. I can't tell you how many times, as a Cubs fan, about this so-so kid who's the next biggest thing, only to see him come up a few septembers, then two years later he's a throw in some trade.

I trade a prospect or two for a known commodity stud every time. And this comes from a fan of the team that's traded John Smoltz for Doyle Alexander and traded Andrew Miller and Cameron Maybin for Dontrelle Willis and some other guy from the Marlins.

you are so lost

 

this is all I am responding to you

 

again when were any of the 3 mentioned the top prospect in baseball?

 

Moncada is rated higher than Mookie across the board, at a more premium position. A .300 20-60 hitter.

 

I think they could have traded Bientiendi and another prospect then ok

This is a great trade for the Red Sox. He is about as good of an add possible as to what they need to get further in the playoffs. The cost is very good for the next 3 years. Their lineup will still be very good. All they need is Panda, Holt, or Shaw to hold down 3rd. Betts and Moncada are not comparable..that's stupid.
