Talks with Rangers have included both Gallo and Profar from what I've read for Sale + someone else

I agree on Sale. Which is why I think there's a much better chance at the bait-and-switch with Quintana. They can get a huge haul for their No. 2 who would be a No. 1 right now with a bunch of teams.

That would be a joke. Gallo has a 30% K rate, nearing the point of stunted prospect.
Profar isn't a prospect - he's very hyped, but his production is that of a solid middle infielder who becomes a free agent at the same time Sale does.

Neither comes close to a headliner for Sale. I don't think the Rangers have the prospects.
The RedSox do and might be willing; the Dodgers and Pirates do, but won't be. I don't see much else.

Isn't there a lot of talk that the Dodgers will get Archer? Why wouldn't they give it up for Sale?

A profar, gallo and say MaZara or Tate would be enough to get Sale. White Sox prospect cupboard is laughably bad. Couple that with Sale being the most vulnerable "ace" in the MLB the last 2 seasons and the Sox would jump at that deal

I would think so. And that isn't considering prospects like Lewis Brinson (OF - preseason top 15ish overall prospect) or Luis Ortiz (SP - preseason top 50ish overall prospect). The top end of their prospect list the last few years has been insanely good. They could come up with a combination to get just about anyone, I would think. Just depends on how much they're willing to give up.

Yep. Definitely enough prospects to get it done

because archer is going to be cheaper to get than sale. sale will require urias and another mlb player and thats just what the package would be centered around. archer or gray wont cost that much

SATURDAY, 3:06pm: Rangers outfielder Nomar Mazara is on Chicago’s wish list if it swings a deal with Texas involving Sale, reports Sullivan (Twitter link).

The White Sox are reportedly asking for “five top prospects” for Chris Sale, FanRag Sports’ Jon Heyman reports. It’s an incredibly high asking price but one that at least one rival executive thinks will be met, though others believe Chicago may not actually be serious about dealing its ace.

We have one of the deepest farms in the league. Like top five.

It broke earlier today in DFW that the Rangers have contacted the Sox and they want Profar, Gallo, Mazara, Brinson and Ortiz.

It ain't gonna happen.

I've read it as that's what the Rays are asking for, not what the Pirates have offered.

It doesn't matter how deep the Rangers farm is. Do the Rangers have 3-4 elite prospects? The answer is no. They have 1, Gallo, and I personally think he's bogus (been a top prospect too long; he'd be on the Rangers if he were ready; Ks way too much). They have another who was #30 in BA's list.
