That one homer was awesome… Back issues are going to F up his career, aren’t they?

Do we know if that dbag who is best buddies with Clevinger is out? Maybe then Getz won’t keep signing Clevinger to deals until he retires.

There’s almost zero reason to rush Slater back even if he’s healthy. 🤣

Yep, Perez is a solid #5 starter on a good team.

What a steal… https://www.mlb.com/brewers/news/jose-quintana-brewers-contract-2025

It came from under a CPS teacher’s fat rolls.

I assume it is a combined score for all OL positions he played last year. 21 is good. I just fear Poles giving him a big extension and watching him fall off a cliff due to his age.

This is true. Fletcher can at least play all three OF positions and has value as a fourth outfielder. If Colas doesn’t hit, he is virtually worthless.

Definitely possible and perhaps even likely. Since none of the three are sure-fire talents, I just see no reason not to try the youngest guy with the supposed big power in what will likely be a losing season. But it is possible that a more interesting outfielder becomes available. I just hope Getz jumps on that guy rather than hang onto guys like Slater, Colas, Fletcher, etc. if they aren’t performing.

I just see it this way — Fletcher is already old enough that I doubt he is a significant contributor to the next competitive Sox team. I would rather use another season of losing to give at bats to a 24 year old outfielder who could potentially be a contributor to the next competitive Sox team, even if said 24 year old outfielder doesn’t pan out.

Joe Thuney was graded last season by Pro Football Focus as the league’s 21st best pass-blocking offensive lineman.

I heard they acquired Thuney to be their starting LT.

Both guys (Heck and Tait) ended their careers in their age 33 seasons. Thuney will turn 33 next November.

I don’t like the idea of giving up a 4th round pick and a new big contract to what will be a 33 year old OL after this season.

There’s way too many good RB’s in this draft not to take an OL with their first pick.

I know, but 32 years old already. Shredded in the Super Bowl, albeit the Eagles. The Chiefs are trading him to upgrade. Poles is once again taking the short-term approach to building an OL. On a one year deal and looking to be paid another big contract at age 33.

A 4th round pick for a 32 year old OL. I’m sure this will work. Yuck.

Pass. Poles doesn’t seem to understand that the Chiefs aren’t going to trade you one of their OL unless he is soon to be on the decline. 32 years old. Come on, Poles. Enough with this makeshift OL bullshit.

I just hope they get a good SS or CF prospect.

I think he still has some faith in Fletcher but it seems pretty clear that Getz isn’t a fan of Colas, and definitely not his glove. Yet he is still here when there have been other guys out there to give a test drive to.
