Chris Sale Traded? Update: Sent Home for Clubhouse Incident

[Eye Black]

I will move this thread over to the Major League forum if a trade indeed goes through, but thought we could start a thread now as the speculation on a Chris Sale trade begins to explode.

 

I am not even sure how many teams have enough top-end prospect talent to acquire 3.5 years of Chris Sale? Assume some current major leaguers could potentially be included as well.

I saw it could just be the flu. Which would be quite a coincidence.

Astros. It would need to be Bregman and/or Reed, one of the top flight pitching prospects, Musgrove or Martes and few lower tier guys. I don't want to give up Bregman. But there's a ton of talent to get Sale.

Morosi just said Sale's situation is not an illness.....in my opinion he either is being held out due to a possible deal or Sale is upset over his name being in talks without being notified

[trwi7]

I could've sworn I saw Olney post on twitter that he was traded for Moncada and Betts but he must have deleted it pretty quickly.

Have heard varying degrees of speculation that includes the Red Sox, Rangers, and Astros as in on Sale. Any of those would likely gut one of the farm systems the Brewers could have matched up with on a trade.

This Chris sale situation is getting weird

[Eye Black]

Now this from Morosi...

 

Chris Sale involved in a "clubhouse incident before the game," team says. #WhiteSox

Though the good news is that two of those teams would be without a big move and when you get oh so close to getting a high impact guy you likely turn to find another. That's when you hold out Lucroy and smile

[MrTPlush]

Wonder if he blew up over the team planning to sell and/or because his name is on the block?

Serious bowel movement issues. Amateur birdwatcher. Yes, I live with my mom. *Not the real Buster Olney. Parody.*

Those parody accounts get people every year.

I had a search for Chris Sale because I wasn't signed in and I saw the verified check mark next to his name. Maybe I just saw the check mark of someone else right above or below the fake Olney account though.

[Eye Black]

Well this turned out to be an anti-hugwatch, literally. I love the MLB trade deadline.

The part about living with his mom is probably what got you. That sounds pretty accurate.

Something tells me there weren't a lot of hugs going on in the clubhouse.

Fanrag editor Stokke just stated it was due to Sale not liking the throwback uniforms and then heproceeded to cut up all the uniforms

Jeff Passan has confirmed this report. Sale took a scissors to all of the uniforms.

This is awesome if it is true.

If I was a player for the Brewers, I would probably do the same thing. Or I'd just wear the uniform I want to wear and either make the team scratch me from the start or have everyone else go in and change uniforms.

[MrTPlush]

Well...that's one way to say you don't like a uniform. Guessing Sale tried to bring this up prior only to be told to live with it. Because I highly doubt he would go to such lengths without requesting not to wear them.

[Point Beer Is Best]

There gotta be a joke here about a guy named Sale going around and slashing uniforms.

Do the Brewers still let the starting pitcher select the game uniform? I know that used to be a thing (with exception of special uniforms on specifically scheduled dates).

Yes still done except on days with a specific uniform. That is why it seems we wear the blue BIG uniforms 5 days a week.
