Sox are the instant favorite to win AL East if not WS. Chi Sox get Moncada. Huge deal.

I'm fine with facing elite SP. Just don't bring up a fringe guy from AAA, they kill us.

Welcome to the AL East Chris Sale. Have fun pitching in Boston.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a good minor league system?

Yes, but I'd probably be weeping if we gave up someone like Moncada.

It would but it's also nice to have a good ML team.

It would, definitely.  But I do wonder how upset people on here would be if we made that deal.

I guess the report they were trying to stay under the luxury tax number didn't last long.

They traded away both third baseman in Shaw and Yoon.  I guess they are going to run with Panda Bear at third.

This is obviously terrible news. However, I am so glad that the Yankees did not get him. I can stomach the Redsox more than the Yankees. The Orioles need Mark Trumbo even more now.

Trading prospects for Manny.

It isn't obvious to me.  Red Sox gave up two very nice pieces for Sale.

I'd rather have Moncada than Sale straight up.
