yeah, that's not even necessarily good defense, it's being the beneficiary of an extremely unlikely series of events.

Big fan of his and an excellent buy low option

Yeah but Harper's old and slow and has a history of arm injuries. He hasn't played the outfield regularly since 2021, at all since 2022. Reminiscent of them trying Schwarber there far past his defensive prime (if you can call it that). Bohm is also garbage at fielding I guess. Maybe they want Grichuk or Hays.

I like Arraez, but man, that's gonna be a rough defense. Bryce hasn't played a real position in like 6 years and I'm not buying that Arraez is suddenly good at defense his 8th season. re: Harper, can he even throw anymore? Why move Bohm to 1B and not try the third baseman in the outfield?

Bonemer is a far better prospect than Nimmala, wild to think otherwise. Can't wait for this deadline to be over and Sox fans can shut up about their desire to lose trades to Arte Moreno.

What are the Mets thinking lol

brooke is the star of the show and everybody knows it

Savior was the word you used lol. Why are you such a dick all of a sudden

What, you didn't read the Gospels, you missed that whole part about Jesus ripping off people on their mortgages? Reminds me of this Al Franken bit: https://youtu.be/X8xU-gKK17A These private equity dicks are making the world a worse place and one of their nepo babies isn't leading the White Sox to the promise land.

You're a fucking loser. Obsessed.

I don't like it but at least it's not one of the top prospects and it's a way better option than that rumor about Peralta. The path to it being a worthwhile trade isn't such an unlikely outcome. Castillo's underlying metrics are pretty much the same as they have been, seems unlikely he's cooked. Could just as easily return to form. Meanwhile, maybe Smith's bat stalls out and he can't find a position to play. Would've rather done nothing, but meh.

obp under .200, we could really use that bat.

Boy that really hurt your feelings, didn't it. I was talking about people like you, not the MLB.

Mismanaged franchise. Thank goodness for us that the Cleveland team is the only one in the division run by non-idiots.

I think we shouldn't trade for him unless that's what it would take. Thus, don't trade for him. It's closer to his value than what you are suggesting as we'll find out soon. As the Silseth trade might've indicated to you.

You simply don't get it, dude, and never have.

Maybe sarcasm doesn't read on the internet but it seemed pretty fucking obvious. There's genuine talk about giving up two real prospects for a rental with a 5 ERA. I feel like you guys want the White Sox to be bad.

....

Fedde is better than Peralta. You think the Brewers would trade us Made (and more) for him?

time to trade this BUST innit

Not even a good pitch to hit. Don't throw anything around the plate to Caminero

Might be time to bump that Fire Getz thread again.

Sure, but Peralta sucks. If it's, like, Wolkow and Smith for Goodman...nice knowin ya, guys.

If that's your impression of Boston Smith hitting 1.200 OPS, you should watch more baseball. Pipeline ranks Mathias LaCombe as a better prospect than Smith but he obviously isn't. Maybe we can trick the Mets into taking LaCombe and Lodise instead because the number next to their names is lower. Or pick up Marco Gonzales for nothing. That's what I would do. A rental with a 5 ERA is closer to a salary dump if you ask me.

Packaging him for who though? There's got to be a specific player in mind that is actually available. Do you swap Colson 1 for 1 for Hunter Goodman or Detmers? I wouldn't. And I'd like to see Goodman on the team. Do you trade him for a couple months of Skubal? According to some general principle, every player on the team should be 'available', but trading a stud player just for the sake of it strike me as shortsighted, especially if the rationale is "we just drafted a shortstop".
