Red Sox - White Sox Trade

(Assuming CWS slip further in the division and decide to make a pitcher not-named Sale available for prospects)

Red Sox Receive: Jose Quintana (LHP)

White Sox Receive: Andrew Benintendi (OF), Rafael Devers (3B), Blake Swihart (C), Trey Ball (LHP), William Jerez (LHP)

Quintana slots in as our #3 behind Price and Wright this season and we are set to go.

In the future Quintana probably becomes #2 as Wright regresses but still, Quintana is a good pitcher and wouldn't cost our entire farm like Sale would.

Actually not bad.

Or instead of Trey Ball and William Jerez, swap them both out for Eduardo Rodriguez in the deal (White Sox can get two major leaguers in Swihart and ERod and still have two top-5 prospects added into their system)

The Red Sox won't get a pitcher like Quintana without giving up one of Betts or Bogaerts plus a whole package of high-ceiling prospects.

Quintana is a top 20 pitcher in baseball and has one of the most team-friendly deals around.

The White Sox will fleece anyone who trades for him.

That might be a stretch. Maybe Betts but Boegarts is a top SS in the game.

The Sox will not give up Betts or Bogaerts. They are the faces of the franchise with Ortiz set to retire and Peds getting up there in years.

I know they won't give up Betts or Bogaerts. But they also won't get a top 20 pitcher in the game without Betts or Bogaerts.

theJerk Sox are trying to improve their team not blow it up they are not going to trade their 2 best players to get pitching they can get a good starter without giving up Betts or Bogaerts.

Good grief sinko, learn some reading comprehension.

I said, the Red Sox won't trade Betts or Bogaerts, but I promise you, they will have a really, really challenging time trading for a dront-end starter without giving one of those guys up.

Either that, or you see every good prospect they have going to the other team. Any way you shape it, it will hurt the Red Sox in the end. No one is going to give them a top pitcher.
