I wonder who we are sending to St Louis?

Now option his ass to Charlotte to get the third year of control back.

I'm terrified and expecting pure disappointment.

One way to save money is to not light $4.5M on fire by giving it to the likes of Martin Maldonado

At this point, a $100M 2025 payroll would require significant additions in the offseason.

Starting to feel like this is some elaborate long con to make White Sox fans feel bad for being mean about LaRussa or something.

Or a 3 team deal where the Sox end up with James Outman and 2 DSL pitchers, but give up Crochet, Brebbia, and throw in Mason Adams for some reason.

And Bruce Levine will report it as Michael Anthony Hall.

Feels like buying high on Vargas and selling low on Fedde.

Harold when it comes to defending the White Sox:

f*** this board and the White Sox. I am in the hospital after suffering three mini strokes and I am still right. Anyone can email me at jewisler@yahoo.com and I will be happy to send the screen shot because it won’t attach here due to size. Tired of this crap when every single person is fucking wrong wrong wrong…and have the EQ and sensitivity of my third grader. Curse this fucking franchise for another 100 years. I hope it burns in fucking hell because this treatment from people who are supposed to be White Sox fans is shameful. I will join Balta and SSHM in purgatory somewhere. Please permanently ban all my accounts until 2040 because I will likely be dead by then because my dad also had a heart attack at 63 and I’m almost 54.

What are you smoking and how do I acquire it

Now option his ass to Charlotte and get that 3rd year back. Stupid f***.

The right move. Now sign him.

Probably the best trade Getz made during the deadline

The White Sox not trading Tanner Banks in this relief market is criminal.

This is a good time to repeat: We are the dumbest franchise in baseball.

The problem was it was Paul Dejong to begin with.

I’m all for trashing the Sox/Getz…but a DeJong trade isn’t a valid reason for it. Any warm body for DeJong is sufficient value

I will need to adjust my pre-season projection now that we are trading all of our best players.

Thats worse than Getz. They are trading for someone they already have.

According to Fegan's story at Sox machine: "Rival evaluators were using descriptions for the White Sox package like "light", "weird" and "one of the weaker trade returns for highly sought after players that I've seen in a while."

With Crochet dangling and Getz dealing, I feel like a guy awaiting execution. Maybe I’ll eat a pint of ice cream and a bucket of chicken.

Crochet's punishment will fit his crime. He now has to keep playing for the Chicago White Sox.

What is lower than F? You had three of the biggest assets on the market, and your best deals were for Tanner Banks and Robbie Grossman months ago. When you have the national media steady mocking you, there can be no other grade.

Wtf are you talking about

D. The Banks trade saved it from an F.

I'm one of those lack of interest people and proud of it!!

BYE MOM!

I guess that's fine. Wish things would have worked out with him, I still think he's a fun and good person.

100% right here. Look even if it was a pitching return, you move Tanner Banks for these prices EVERY.SINGLE.FUCKING.TIME>

Again, this is insane. This is these dude's livelihoods. They have millions of dollars riding on their performance. Young guys want to stick in the league and make enough money to be set for life. The older scrubs want to stay in the league. Everyone is trying. Outside of a few guys, they just are not any good.

Injuries have really hurt this team's chances.

Eduardo Perez ripping on the Sox for being awful with communication is quite interesting considering how close he is to Pedro

DeJong was worthless, we should be happy they got anything at all here.

If you are going to be mad about what the return was for Dejong then I think you need to go take a walk around the block and clear your head.

Not to be a dick (somewhat), but I'm honestly interested in Harold's reaction to this. He's Getz' biggest supporter, but he has been completely silent about this trade.

Self inflicted after he found out about the trade. ?

God the Fedde trade was trash.

I think I need to stay off Soxtalk for the rest of the day since most likely any return will just depress me and ruin the rest of my Tuesday.....see y'all later this morning.

Said in another thread, Robert is our future Moncada. They’ll hold on to him until the end of his contract and get nothing for him. Fans here will rejoice when he’s no longer on the team.

He is an .816 OPS career gold glove caliber CF just reaching his prime years under control for 3.33 seasons. You love using small sample sizes to fuel your negativity, but then will use larger ones when its convenient. Robert has not been good in 2024, and trading him at his lowest would be dumb. But let's please stop acting like the guy doesn't still have a ton of value.

MLB had both guys listed as 50 ovr prospects in the Dodgers system. Now in the Sox system, they’re both listed as 45.

A white sox comp for vargas with the bat is Magglio. I'd say that might be his ceiling but we can dream on it.

Y'all remember when a lot of us here wanted James Click as a GM and then JR didn't even interview him cause Chris Getz is such a special boi ?
