Duuuude...not cool. He's still a Gold Glover and the word is he's good at giving speeches during rain delays.

At least ask for a CASE of Bud Light.

In my opinion if your being realistic, Ellsbury isn't going anywhere unless released because of that huge contract. No team would want to take on that contract.

Don't think there's any trade that would be realistic, especially if we consider real life circumstance. The Red Sox are a contender, and trading Sale would basically kill their chances, given their rotation beyond Sale (Price is hurt, Pomeranz might be hurt and isn't that great, Wright is a guy I'd like to sell high on, and E-Rod isn't exactly prove. After Sale, you have one healthy, reliable arm in Porcello).

I don't even think there's a case where if the Sox are out of it, they consider any trade, given his great contract. Assuming the worst, and that he gets into a fist fight with Dave Dombrowski, demands to be traded, and threatens to cut up the Red Sox uniforms...

The discussion starts and ends with Moncada+Kopech level quality players. The Sox aren't looking for prospects, so it's a no on Eloy Jimenez, Dylan Crease, Albert Almora, etc etc etc. It would have to be major league talent, at either first or third base (don't need middle infield help, and it would make no sense for us to do a trade involving pitching, considering our current status).

I just flat out don't think there's a fit, since there's no way Rizzo or Bryant is involved, and I don't think any Red Sox team would be motivated to move him for anything less than a slam dunk return.

If we were going to do a deal involving Sale (at any point), it would likely involve jettisoning the contracts of Sandoval and Castillo, and getting a high level guy in return. Just can't see the logic in moving him. So happy to get him for the next three years.

I was so sad when he left our team for yours.

But it's been so sweet watching him become... what he has, while we've developed three awesome outfielders.

... still love Ells though, always be a place in my heart for him.

Yea he was really good in his prime but I seen this coming and why I was skeptical when they got him, speed guys don't age well, part of reason I want to see them move Gardener also and let those kids we have in the farm do their thing

Side note: here's to hoping we get some classic Yanks- sox matchups this year like the good old days

So I started my temporary franchise with the Dodgers and one thing I have never been able to do is pitch with Ryu. I always give up at least 5-6 runs per game with him so I decided to explore some options and ended up going with a deal that would be big for the future of the Dodgers Rotation.

Dodgers Receive:
Lance McCullers

Astros Receive:
Hyun-Jin Ryu
2 Low-Level A Potential Prospects

Thoughts?
