Two separate sources affiliated with two separate organizations reached out to me today with information that the Sox and Dodgers are discussing a mega-deal that would send Chris Sale and Todd Frazier to Los Angeles for what would be, needless to say, an absurd return that one would have to think would be centered around Urias/Bellinger and A LOT more.

Now, I’m sure this is FAR from a done deal. When you’re talking about the most valuable trade asset in all of baseball for the 2016/17 offseason, the team that possesses that asset should be in no hurry at all to make a deal. There is 3 months until pitchers and catchers report, and the White Sox have to make sure they are more than comfortable with their return.

Truth be told I have no idea how advanced talks are regarding the two teams, though I’m working on getting more information on substance as we speak. This could very well be posturing to leverage Boston or other teams to up their offer, it could be the White Sox assessing market conditions, etc.

That said, I wouldn’t have even publicly mentioned it had two sources from two separate organizations reached out to me today. Once my second source confirmed what I had heard earlier in the day, I knew the rumor had to have at least *some* legs. We’ll see how the next few days go.
