In search of bullpen help, the Angels' Huston Street and Joe Smith as well as the Brewers' Will Smith and Jim Jeffress are said to be on the Mets' trade radar.

@jcrasnickThe Sale incident began with something "silly" that mushroomed into a bigger argument, says a source. #Whitesox
Wow. Very out of character for that team.
Anyway, starter Matt Albers pitching in his third consecutive game.

Apparently Sale doesn't like the throwbacks.

@Ken_RosenthalSources say: Sale cut up throwbacks during batting practice. Upset that, in his view, PR and jersey sales were more important than winning.
― Andy K, Sunday, 24 July 2016 01:00 (seven years ago) link
haha it sounds like he cut up everyone's uniform!!
FanRagSports.com first reported that Sale cut up the 1976 throwbacks during batting practice so they couldn't be worn. Fox Sports reported that Sale's dislike for the uniforms was because he thought they were uncomfortable; Sale also thought the White Sox were putting "PR and jersey sales" ahead of winning.The White Sox instead played in their 1983 white, red and blue throwbacks, which they have worn in the past.

oh i'm totally on chris sale's side regarding his own uniform -- that shit would probably drive me crazy
cutting up other dudes' uniforms is admirable but nevertheless a step too far

“Right now, in the major leagues, we’ve got dopers, domestic abusers, homophobes, misogynists and even a guy who spent time in prison for a DUI hit-and-run,” one executive said. “But a uniform vandal? Dammit, we have to draw the line somewhere.”

― mookieproof, Monday, 25 July 2016 13:01 (seven years ago) link
interesting in light of the now-completed aroldis chapman deal:
Dan Szymborski @DSzymborskiThe Cubs are 55-1 going into the 9th with lead, 53-1 going into 8th, 53-5 into 7th. The upside for *any* reliever add is limited.
― if young slothrop don't trust ya i'm gon' rhyme ya (slothroprhymes), Monday, 25 July 2016 16:30 (seven years ago) link
if that's what relievers cost now, the yankees can rebuild their entire system by dealing miller and betances too
― mookieproof, Monday, 25 July 2016 16:50 (seven years ago) link
looks like a better move when postseason is taken into account:
However, the Cubs have more wins than any team in Major League Baseball and are making a clear effort to deepen their roster not just to get to the postseason but to thrive upon arriving there. The structure of the postseason schedule allows clubs to more heavily rely on their bullpen arms due to the frequency of off-days in the schedule, making Chapman that much more valuable in a five- or seven-game series.

I'd want to 1) get him out of Dodger Stadium, and 2) get him away from whatever else is bothering him (which could be as simple as carrying around the weight of those first few months on his back). If there's not a physical issue, I'd want him. I'm too lazy to go looking for parallels, but I know there have been young players in the past who were trapped in a bad situation, got out of it, and flourished.
