WhiteSox2023

We heard all about how Cease was going to net a huge haul and how Fedde was going to net a top 100 prospect, as well as a lesser prospect or two. So far, Getz’s returns for his larger trades have been mediocre at best. I guess we shall see…

Moncada, hurt again…

Here’s the article… “Garrett Crochet to draw in big haul for White Sox“

You can’t get either channel where you are? Any idea if anyone is getting them throughout your state? Des Moines, IA: KDMI, 19.4 Cedar Rapids, IA: KWKB, 20.5

The reality of Getz getting his ass played like a fiddle in the majority of his trades.

If Abreu is the headliner, I don’t think the Sox get a single one of the Red Sox top four prospects. It will be two or three more prospects after those guys.

And reality slaps Sox fans right in the face, cold and hard… Getz would be okay with a headliner that will turn 26 next season. Meanwhile, some posters wouldn’t trade Crochet straight up for what will be a 21 year old Jackson Holliday with true star potential.

🤣 Getz + OnlyFans = Getzlyfans?

Famous last words. This is a signature worthy quote.

I enjoy the irony that we know the Sox are going to trade Crochet because he will only be here for two more years [and Jerry won’t pay him], but let’s go ahead and acquire a mediocre infielder that is under contract for only two years. This is gearing up to be yet another offseason of completely baffling moves by our wizard GM Getz.

Yep. If Getz had a shot at a franchise player, a new young face for his crappy team, he would jump at it in a second. Especially for a pitcher with two years of control that everyone and their grandmother knows that Jerry won’t pay for. The Orioles wouldn’t even make the offer.

This. You worded it better than I could explain. I seriously doubt we could get back “an A-ball position player/rotation arm PLUS Gavin Lux.”

I wouldn’t exactly call them “legitimate” prospects (just semantics I guess), but I agree that they could get back another guy like Batista. However, I don’t agree that they could get Lux back for their international slot money.

How sad is it that we wanted both of these names years ago, and are still talking about them now?

I never argued it wasn’t. I just don’t think the Sox would get back Gavin Lux for their international slot money. Do you think you could trade Batista for Lux?

I think he or someone else may have mentioned Joc Pederson, but he’s been good enough over the last three years to sign a short term deal with a contender. There’s no reason for Joc to want to come to the White Sox unless they way overpaid him.

How much longer do you think Vaughn’s MLB career is going to last at this rate, considering his offensive and defensive production? The fact that Rizzo has already proven it in his career while Vaughn has been mediocre for 4 years bolsters my point. Rizzo has done it while Vaughn is running out of time before he joins the Schaumburg Boomers.

He was ranked 31st in the Dodgers farm system by FanGraphs at the time of the trade. He was 19 and pitching in Dodgers rookie ball. That’s just a flier with boom or bust potential, not a legitimate prospect. Batista is now rated right ahead of #22 Jake Eder in the Sox top 30.

How is the zero protection factor changing for Robert next season? 🤣

The Sox 21st ranked prospect and a guy who will be out of baseball soon because he walks the world?

I remember a lot of posters wanting the Sox to sell high on Robert that year but I seem to remember the rumors were that the offers weren’t high enough. But I don’t recall if any of the actual trade offers were leaked.

It’s what happens when your organization can’t draft or develop position players at all.

In Passan’s opinion, not based on what he’s heard from either side. Sox say yes to that offer. Yankees probably say no. Jones fell off a bit (strikeouts, yikes!), but Dominguez is still #14 in the top 100. I doubt the actual return for Crochet ends up looking better than Dominguez and Jones.

I don’t think Lux is any good, but I still doubt the Sox would get that kind of return for international money.
