Red Sox won the trade for now. WS bound and favorites.

It's a wash. Sale led the league in strikeouts last year and Moncada did so this year.

Chris Sale was supposed to start Game 5 of the American League Championship Series against the Astros on Thursday, but he was scratched after being hospitalized with an illness over the weekend.
That illness, Sales said, was brought on by a belly button ring. This is not a joke.

“I had irritation from a belly button ring," Sale told reporters Saturday, via the Boston Herald. "Constantly taking it in and out caused irritation. Doctors and nurses at MGH (Massachusetts General Hospital) were awesome. Things happen. You handle them. And keep moving forward.”

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

The Sox won nothing while Sale was on the team. So the trade is not even close to a disaster. If anything he just brought false hope to the team. They tried building around him and it never worked.

Is Boston the only team they could have traded with? Is the scrub MonKada and the disabled Kopech the only two players in all of baseball that could have been acquired for Sale?

The trade was a disaster. It may be worse than the Lou Brock trade. May as well have kept him for a few years and let him leave via free agency.

Bernstein says that lou brock sucked

I seriously doubt that the Sox handled Kopech well and kind of wish that they did a better personality profile and background on the kid. I remember watching videos of this kid violently overthrowing the ball without anyone monitoring him. He was an arm injury waiting to happen. Hopefully he can recover physically but someone better put a choke chain on him or he is just going to be another hot shot kid in love with himself and his arm.

ANyone know if Moncada is going to play winter ball?

Sale has become a Boston legend after tonight after his dug out outburst screaming at this team when they were down 4-0. Wow.

And....after watching this Red Sox team, why didn't the WSox ask for Devers and one or two of their awesome relievers? Those Boston relievers throw 99/100 CONSISTENTLY. And this is in the World Series! Very Impressive.

After watching the Red Sox in the WS this year, you're telling me fucking Moncada was the best you could have got? Shit, what an utter fleece job.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Chris Sale continues to show himself a petulant baby.

Fuck him.

When is that lease up? This crap organization needs to get out. I'm so pissed at myself for caring about them for the first 44 of my 46 years. Williams and Hahn destroyed it all in a couple of years. No returning from this mess. Thanks Hahn. You traded a Hall of Famer for a bag of balls.

Pump the brakes, let us give Moncada at least a year or 2 more before people declare him a bust.

It doesn't matter. His ceiling is Ray Durham. So they traded a HOF pitcher for hopefully Ray Durham on his best day. But he's not even a likeable person. My passion is sapped and not coming back. I hate this FO. Maybe I'll root when they're the Las Vegas White Sox.

Chris Sale closes out the WS . Chris Sale is a world series champion.

FINAL TRADE VERDICT WINNER :

RED SOX
