Agreed. Do it. The cash included may counter Robert’s loss of value for being so bad last season. Pay up for the better prospects you want, especially considering two things — he’s your last good trade piece and god knows the Getz has cut the payroll so much ($67 million?) they have some money to burn.

Good point. Why would they sign a legit manager to a 3-year deal with a 4th year option if they aren’t “going for it”?

I heard he’s also in the best shape of his life.

Eliminated before the season even started. Sure makes you want to spend your hard-earned dollar on Jerry’s product, don’t it? 🤣

He needs to start showing some semblance of power though. Still very young though.

Berroa will walk the world. Good luck with that bullpen arm. It won’t be pretty.

Getz paid him $4.3 million guaranteed. The Cubs get him for a non-guaranteed $1.5 million.

That Santos trade is looking like hot garbage right now. But perhaps this move indicates they will keep Montgomery down for a bit, which is good.

It’s a running theme with both of Jerry’s teams so it shouldn’t be a surprise.

And it doesn’t match up with his perpetual “Cubs fan troll” attacks on anyone that doesn’t support the Sox.

Reinsdorf is an abomination in two sports. What an owner.

Let’s look at this a different way. Perhaps you are one of the reasons the Sox suck and never spend money. You support this garbage team and owner. Jerry knows you will spend money on his garbage product regardless so he never has to spend money on the team. Enjoy watching games this year for a $67 million dollar payroll team.

We have a GM who got a mediocre return for Cease and chose to trade for Fletcher over McCarthy. Getz choosing Vargas over Keaschall wouldn’t be surprising at all. At least it looks like he may have nailed the Crochet trade.

More like “yet another awful player that Getz once acquired.”

Acquiring Vargas instead dropped them to #2.

A true collector’s item…

He also greatly underestimated the number of peons chanting for Jerry to sell the team.

Jealous anyone?

Post of the year, just for tray.

Agreed. This should be decided in Charlotte in the first few months of the season before he is even called up. That way, you get the extra year of contract and get an idea of where he should be positioned.

They are a legit organization and care more about talent than money. In the same situation, the Sox would’ve probably cut a young guy over potentially burning $4.5 million. Or Getz would be frantically trying to trade Brasier for the most cash considerations offered, along with a 27 year old Single A reliever.

Wrong brother. This is Emilio Estevez.

Imagine being a fan of a team that dumps a good cheap reliever to make room to sign an even better and more expensive closer. I hope the Dodgers win the next 5 World Series and make every other cheap team eat 💩.

“Dodgers designated RHP Ryan Brasier for assignment. The Dodgers’ 40-man roster is so loaded that they had to make a very difficult decision on who to remove to free up a spot for Kirby Yates and unfortunately this time it was Brasier left on the outside looking in. The 37-year-old hurler should attract plenty of attention on waivers after registering a 3.54 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and a 25/5 K/BB ratio over 28 innings with the Dodgers in 2024.”
