Apparently, the new head of Red Sox Baseball Operations (
Dave Dombrowski) isn't shy. There are new reports out today that link the Red Sox to
a possible trade that would bring 26-year old left-handed starter Chris Sale to Boston. The
return haul going from
The Carmine Hose to
The Pale Hose would be steep—with one report actually suggesting
Xander Bogaerts as the price. Clearly, that will
not happen—without a "torches and pitchforks" reaction by Red Sox fans. But Chicago is said to be
really interested in
Blake Swihart—so a prospect/player package
including the young backstop (along with a lot of other stuff)
could get something done. Sale would be the 'poster-boy' for the young, controllable, top-of-the-rotation starter the Red Sox
desperately need. Looks like
"Dealin' Dave" may already be in high gear!
