At a minimum, Robert will cost the rest of his $15 million salary for this year along with a $2 million to get rid of via his 2026 buyout after this season. Or, you have to guarantee Robert $22 million ($20 million option + $2 million buyout for 2027) to bring him back for next season.

More like the bad for two straight seasons Luis Robert Jr. Ever heard of recency bias? It’s definitely a thing in baseball.

That’s what Jerry pays Bob Nightengale for.

Because the longer you hold out trying to get your unrealistic demands accepted, teams move on to other players that other GM’s are actually willing to part with for something realistic. Then you wind up with your hand holding your schvonce.

Pretty sure they didn’t scratch him from his start yesterday because they intend to extend him. They want to trade him. Regardless, I can’t imagine Houser wouldn’t just wait for free agency rather than accept what would likely be a team friendly extension offer from the Sox.

Flash from the past…

No, extend him for 2026 and see if he regains his value then.

Yep, I forgot to post this earlier but this could be the steal of the deadline.

Aren’t you the same poster that basically puts the majority of posters all in the same bucket, if they dare be critical of any move the Sox make? Oh yeah… hypocritical much?

It’s an upgrade from a Chicago foodie Twitter account.

Getzpologists.

Houser. He has value and should be traded. You can call up any random pitcher to pitch innings — see yesterday’s starter.

He appears to be a legitimate New York baseball journalist based on his Twitter profile.

Just go see @vilehoopster’s post. 🤣

LOL if true. Getz reaching for the stars. It’s not December 2023, Chris... 🤣

But it’s true. This is what losing teams do. If the trade deadline has passed and Getz has only traded Slater, he’s right, it’s a failure. You can’t tell me that Slater is the only player he could reasonably manage to trade.

I think if Robert is traded, it will more than likely be Getz who caved.

I’m fine with it, as long as Lee is on the roster as well, which I still don’t understand. Dump Rojas already…

Tito Polo. Ryan Cordell was acquired from the Brewers for Anthony Swarzak.

The Sox literally got back only 10 innings of relief from Tyler Clippard as the final return for David Robertson, Todd Frazier, and Tommy Kahnle. What a garbage trade that was.

Cheap starting RF for next year. I wouldn’t be surprised and I think Jerry agrees.

At some point you have to realize you aren’t getting what you could have gotten for Robert after 2023. Two garbage seasons in a row will do that to a player’s value.

If that happens, Getz should be fired right after giving Robert his $2 million dollar buyout. Not that Jerry would do that.

Yikes. At first I didn’t think much of your comment but I didn’t realize Bader has been much better than Robert and is currently at 2.8 bWAR. Getz is basically trying to oversell Robert on mostly name value.
