If they would have canned him at the all star break (which was the obvious solution) they dont get to a 21 game losing streak, nor are they definitely going to break the all time worst record. Getz sucks so so badly

that is the thing about Benintendi....he doesn't have power...but he SHOULD be a .275/.340 guy every year based on his swing and body type. But Sox have either tinkered with his swing too much or the bad has rubbed off on him. Was it a bad contract...yep. Should he suck as much as he did first 3 months...nah.

I feel like Jerry is just here for the zipline.

insanity is hiring from within over and over...

Keith law actually doesn't mind the deal for all 3 teams and thinks the Sox got 2 everyday starters in Vargas and Perez (in 3 years). Still hate this, but at least he didn't shred them apart like i expected.

I'm Done until Jerry dies or sells. f*** the Chicago White Sox.

welp i will wait til we get official. but this might be it. Im DONE. trading multiple pieces should net top 100 returns. if we are going for quantity of 2B utility guys we are so screwed long term. Getz made maybe the signing of the offseason with Fedde, and didn't do a damn thing. Should have kept him if this is all we got back. I hate my life.

Saucke has really fast wrist speed from those highlights (reminds me of Juan Gonzalez). very anti Sox long swing mashers.

I am so pumped. I moved here last year and LOVE going to Pirates games. they are my new backup team, so them getting Griffin/Rynders and some great pieces we all wanted, I will get to enjoy them.

teams are ALL OVER the board in round 3. shows you how weak this draft is. Only a small handful of BPA players so far

Watch this video and cry about hitters. In 2026 the Sox will have the best young rotation in baseball. Pitching and defense wins championships. A bat would have been great, but this draft is weak and their track record with lefties matters. I'm good with this. Now if Jerry dies in the next two years, a new owner only has to buy a couple outfielders and they will be set. They are set at catcher - Quero SS & 3rd base have promise in Colson, Gonzalez and Ramos Wolkow is something. DH at the least. Baldwin is a wildcard. So yeah, they are gonna have to pay up for some outfield and potentially power, but the starting staff is cost controlled until like 2030. That matters.

I am totally honest...I forgot we even have Clevinger on the roster.

in current baseball metrics...very few people hit over .300 anymore. .280 has basically become all-star level. .240 with massive power and a decent walk rate can be fine with 30% K rate. Basically Joc Pederson but maybe even more raw power. just not sure if he will be purely DH or if he can play field enough for RF or 3B, but that bat will be prototypical 3 outcome results

He is a gamer. I think he settles nicely as a #3. Its crazy to think but... Crochet / Schultz / Fedde / Thorpe / Iriarte or Eder is actually a pretty solid rotation for next two years if they didnt trade Crochet or Fedde

Who would have thought that TA7 would turn into Nick Madrigal so quickly.

Hopefully pham keeps up his solid play ans can net a decent fringe prospect at the deadline. Its one of Getz better moves honestly

I liked what I saw. mechanics look good and his demeanor on the mound was outstanding. I think his constant struggle is going to be trying to amp up 2-3 mph of fastball speed to keep his other pitches honest. I would rather him be pinpoint at 91 with it and mix in MORE changeups and cutters. At the very worst he will be a solid #4 type for many years as he should be low on the injury concerns. He won't be an ace, but with Schultz and maybe Crochet (if he stays) he wont need to be.

Lee and Quero solves Catcher the next 5 years hopefully.

We got a real one. Locked into the next couple years of the rotation for sure. Love it

Dude was still a better pickup than Maldonado. That is how bad he is and how badly Getz should be fired for thinking those 2 were serviceable options.

Exactly my thoughts. We have promising pitching in the minors, a few players that can be decent and the best free agent class in years....oh wait.

If this is truly the case. I am done. At least until Jerry dies. I can't take this anymore.

2-3 good FA position player signings can mask bad drafts. but that requires jerry to die.

this is too weak of a draft to underslot first round. get one of the top 11 sure thing pieces and then just pray beyond that they find some diamonds later.

I was so excited when they signed Colas. I really wonder if it's their system that ruined him or he just doesn't have it in him to be more than AAAA fodder. but this constant stream of has beens from other Orgs is reason enough to know that Getz is awful at his job and this team is going nowhere for years.
