It isn't head-scratching, he never plays and isn't good when he does, on either side of the ball. You want to give him at-bats or reps in the outfield over the Montgomery or Antonacci? Or have two roster spots taken up by a mediocre platoon DH tandem? At least give Hays the Josh Rojas treatment, people. It was a useless signing, the outfield just isn't the worst in MLB like we all thought it would be. What do you bet he remains in the org because no team wants to pay him his salary + buyout, and he likely has no interest in a release because he'd just be playing minor league ball somewhere else? DFAing this guy makes total sense, it makes less sense to me to do it with Pereira.

Putting the old band back together....none of our trade deadline acquisitions starting off this one.

He stated FA signings, Peters was a trade.

Praying for a speedy recovery Lip. The way our rotation is, we may need you as our 5th starter!

So what do you think happened with these two DFA’s? I saw you laughed at my previous post. What is your explanation?

Yes, looks like he missed him. That was obviously a good signing.

You also can't count Murakami because he fell into their laps. He literally flew over from Japan and played "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel on his boombox until Getz finally gave in and signed him.

Doesn't fit the narrative

Reinsdorf said it'd only take a year to be competitive again and it took two, so Getz gets an F-.

what about Peters?

Except for all the free agents who worked out spectacularly, every single free agent signing was a failure.

I know he classified it as "off-season" but feel like someone like Grichuk should also be mentioned, given he plays the outfield and has been a solid contributor to this team. But he was signed in early May.

It seems every time there are labor issues, thr White Sox go into it looking good, and come out of it disappointing. I hope this time it's different

Newcomb should be in there too though, no?

I heard we sent 2 million for the buyout.

Sox opening day OF, Hays LF, Acuna CF, Pereira RF. Hays only played 12 games and Pereira 27, if they stayed healthy Pereira would have moved to CF and Braden in RF.........Could of, should of, might of.

Yea, this coming offseason is likely going to be hell and will for sure include a ton of “if’s”

All depends on when they agree to a new CBA and set parameters. Plus what JR allows him to do.

OUCH! Guess he wasn’t “fixed” 😆 Will have to look up and see what kind of situation they used him in. Edit: Wasn’t even a leverage situation 😆

And we went into that offseason without expecting anything better than a 3rd place finish… at best. I sure hope his next offseason is better.

Apparently Teel picked up on it during the game and was able to start calling Martins pitches before they were released. He told Martin and Bart, and he threw up some 0s.

LOOOOOOOOOL

Getz off-season FA MLB additions so far: Hays - DFA'ed Seranthony - Given away as if he was worth zero Reese McGuire - Released Fedde - (-.3 fWAR with a 5.4 FIP) Murakami - Obviously great, but a reminder that he fell into their laps Kay - .8 fWAR with a 4.8 FIP (I'd call this a solid signing even though I'm not a fan of Kay's. He's definitely covered some innings and given them a chance to win games.) Our World Class GM that has "earned" the benefit of the doubt!

Nice! Bring it home for us amigo!!
