What Would You Give Up To Acquire Sale?

[TouchemAll]

I agree, but Sale, Tilly & Gausman would make an awesome trio.

My dream rotation.

[FlipTheBird]

I agree, but Sale, Tilly & Gausman would make an awesome trio.

I think there's one awesome pitcher, a relatively reliable pitcher and one yet to be decided pitcher, there.

[Ruzious]

In the real world, we don't have what it takes to trade for Hellickson - considering our dearth of prospects - so trading for Sale... there's a better chance that I win MegaMillions.

[SeaBird]

For Sale, I would give up all 3 top prospect in the MIL.

Toss in free crab cakes from Phillips for as long as he is an Oriole.

Crab cakes from Phillips would be insulting.

[Stotle]

If we don't include them, you don't think Bundy, Brach and some other combination of MiLers would do it? If CHW truly valued Sale they wouldn't be trading him.

Nope, I don't think so. Chicago could shop that package to someone like Boston or Texas and say "Beat this and Sale is yours."

I would have to agree.

[El Gordo]

Well I've changed my mind, I'm not trading Bundy.

More than the Yankees?

If I had them, I'd give them three Chris Tillmans for Sale. Tillman has been having an excellent season, but Sale is on a different level entirely.

Barring Schoop, the Orioles would probably have to offer them Gausman AND Bundy plus their choice of any three prospects in the minors to get them to even consider it. I mean, look what the Cubs gave up to get just two months of Chapman -- a relief pitcher. The Orioles just don't have the prospects to pull it off, no matter how much fans enjoy putting together fantasy baseball offers where the Orioles can get a guy like that on prospect volume, sending off all the guys said fan wouldn't mind giving up. One guy on Melewski's blog the other day was certain the Orioles could get Sale if they offered Mancini, Cisco, Tanner Scott, Mike Wright and Vance Worley. I told him Rick Hahn would bust a gut laughing if Dan Duquette called him up and made that offer.

For this, I am grateful. I will pass on Mr. Sale.

I'm in favor of the Yankees trading for him.

They won't be a threat until at least 2018.

[ORIOLE33]

You can add Gausman to any deal that could get us Sale.

[Bird Dog]

I agree 100%.....you beat me to it.

[Mizerooskie]

I'd trade any single roster player not named Machado + prospects for Sale.

He's a top-5 pitcher in baseball and better than anyone the O's have put on the mound since Moose.

Why would anyone be worried about the Orioles giving up prospects? It's not like they've had a tremendous amount of development success.

But, as has been said, unless the White Sox are infatuated with a particular Orioles player/prospect, some other team could offer better.
