Via Chuck Garfien on Twitter, Jerry Reinsdorf recently explained why the asking price on Chris Sale has been, so far, too high for any team to match. In short, Reinsdorf suggests that the Sox will only move Sale if they’re receiving not one, not two, not three, but FOUR can’t miss prospects in return. Let me first say that I’m not sure any organization has four prospects who can’t possibly miss, because that’s just not an easy thing to have at any one time (and is any prospect truly “can’t miss”?). Of course, if he considers young, cost-controlled players already at the Major League level a number of teams could enter the race, but then you wouldn’t ever get four of those types in return anyway.
