Another house cleaning is a must. Starting with Jerry’s unfortunate demise and leading to Chris Getz never getting another job in baseball again.

7.5 games back before Easter. 🤣

Vargas is a bust. Great acquisition, Getz! I also like your .600 OPS DH Nick Maton. 4-15. On pace for 34 wins. Worst GM in baseball for two years in a row.

Another feather in Getz’s cap. What a bust.

Seriously, Getz is getting worse over time. Remember when everyone (including me) thought there was no way this team could be as bad as last year’s? Getz somehow manages to top himself.

Yeah, his numbers have already gone in the tank unfortunately.

He wishes it was.

Yep, awesome bullpen. What a loser fucking GM.

Getz going for that record again.

They would likely be just as bad, as we have already seen.

Yep, TLR has his mouth open and is staring like he’s shocked at what happened, or in this case at the post he just read.

Jerry would make Getz buy him out, no doubt in my mind.

You can’t just presume that injuries are why they both stink now. Eloy is only 28 and in AAA and Robert is 27 and stinking it up. Are they both truly clear wins on being developed? Their careers look like they are winding down and they both should be in their primes.

I thought if he rejected the assignment that would be reported with the transaction.

Great signing two years in a row, Getz. Getz burned up $4.5 million on this bum. And now Balta and SSHM will not return.

We need an update from WE on how much better this team is than we think it is…

Maybe, but he has a career .608 OPS in 634 career plate appearances. It’s doubtful that he will ever even hit as well as Vaughn.

I will always enjoy his strikeout per at bat every time Getz decides to call him up.

Fuller wasn’t fired! It was a “mutual parting of the ways.” Nevermind that the Orioles offense tanked in the second half of the season and in the postseason. Definitely not canned, nope!

Agreed. I don’t think they would consider cutting Vaughn this early in the season.

Sosa hasn’t shown he can hit enough to be a very productive 1B. Are we just going to stick him at 1B because we have nowhere else to play him, even though we likely know he will never hit well enough to be a legit 1B?

I don’t think anyone thinks Elko will be some sort of savior. It’s just that Vaughn is terrible and Maton is the primary DH. Also, Elko isn’t getting any younger (27 in December) so it seems reasonable to see what he can do. But to your point, since Quero will likely see time at DH, Vaughn is probably the guy who needs to go to make room for Elko.

Not with this bullpen.

Non-tendering Schwarber to sign Joc Peterson for 1/$7 million and go with him as your starter instead for the 2021 season. The Nationals then signed Schwarber for 1/$10 million and he broke out. “Saved” a whole $3 million. What a Cubbie-riffic move.

The sooner the better. No way they bring back Vaughn next year so get a jump start on seeing if Elko can be the answer. His early audition for the 1B spot for next season. Make sure he gets enough at bats to allow you to decide. Could always cut Vaughn loose toward the end of the season to see if a contender will add him as a bench bat.
