Dalbec or Amaya. Take your pick. Amazing how many worthless players are on this roster that could be cut with no repercussions or concerns.

Isn’t Workman replacing Maton on the roster?

He could definitely pull off the better “deer in the headlights” look that Getz has.

Rule 5 picks are the new market inefficiency. Years from now, Moneyball 2 will be released with Leonardo DiCaprio playing Getz.

“You did what Chris?”

A Rule 5 pick acquired for cash considerations led to the DFA of our starting DH, and it’s actually an improvement. But this is cash going the wrong way. Jerry can’t be too happy.

This thread is incorrect. According to ESPN, we actually acquired Gabe Workman. 🤣 https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/44869528/white-sox-acquire-gabe-workman-trade-cubs

Elko is a few months younger than Vaughn. Not going to make many prospect lists when you are already that old.

0 for 4 with 2 strikeouts. Keep leading him off, Grifol… I mean Venable.

Because they did a comprehensive piece on the entire story, and it takes time to write a large article unless you are just using AI. Look at the dates on all of the links they sourced. I mean, they even included the tweeted photo of Jerry with the FCC chairman which we all saw two weeks ago.

Grade A trolling, especially while holding the custom Bears title belt. 🤣

On pace for 37 wins. Getz can always outdo himself, which I guess is a good attribute?

Getz found all the position players that couldn’t catch up with that heat, and a bunch of relievers that couldn’t throw that heat with any control. Win-Win???

Someone has to carry on the tradition of Hawk past his prime.

Gotta wait until he’s in his prime at 28 to call him up.

Unfortunately, the longer you wait on OL and DL, there are no steals to be had. Still surprised how much Poles is banking on his offseason veteran mish-mash OL crew. Pretty sure I already know what the weakness will be for the second straight season. Good luck.

Both suck unfortunately.

I am joining you.

Poles drafting players from the team’s position of strength, apparently assuming that none of his offseason OL and DL acquisitions will be busts… Yeah, this is gonna go well. At least Caleb will have no excuses about not having enough weapons like Justin Fields, until the OL sucks again…

They have one weak spot in their lineup — Berti at 3B. If Shaw gets hot in AAA, they can always call him up. They need another legit starter with Steele out and bullpen help at the deadline.

Ricketts still getting hate for not spending enough. I wish we had a “cheap” owner like him.

Maton is a deep bench major leaguer at best, yet he’s a full-time DH for Getz’s team. A drunk chimpanzee could build a better lineup than our joke of a GM.

Is this the White Sox searching for a win or Getz trying to find a good position player?

LOL, Jerry is pleased — more cash considerations!!! Getz will get a lifetime extension at this rate. This should be a meme at this point. EDIT: Looks like Jay Cuda beat me to it by a year…

Even if you don’t consider matchups, Venable apparently thinks his best chance of winning it to give the most potential at bats in each game to a guy who should be in AAA and is only on the team due to multiple outfielder injuries. I’m losing faith in Venable quickly. A bunch of small questionable decisions can add up to make a difference when it comes to wins and losses. Not a big deal with this year’s team but perhaps when they are competitive.
