The Sox are six feet under in baseball hell. How could it possibly get any worse?

Thanks for sharing. But one poster isn’t going to be happy about any of this.

Michael Reinsdorf is 58.

Need a Jerry “I did that!” meme.

Have to just hope Pages keeps sucking at the plate and Robert starts hitting. The Dodgers could still always just stick with Edman as their primary CF but it’s pretty apparent that they want to keep him in a utility role.

Sad but true, and I doubt things change at all if Michael takes over.

Yep, I think SoxTalk picked out better 1B than Vaughn in back-to-back offseasons. Michael Busch last offseason and Ben Rice this offseason. But it looks like only Busch may have been available.

It’s funny you mention Comcast trying to put a wrench in free over-the-air sports on TV. When I was very young, Jerry Reinsdorf and Eddie Einhorn formed one of the very first subscription-based sports television services called Sportsvision. Jerry and Eddie were essentially trying to create their own pay to watch network just like Marquee, but years ahead of the Cubs. How ironic.

No thanks. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Your favorite GM Getz does apparently. He picks the players, just in case you have forgotten.

But he still can’t hit at all, continuing on his theme from last season and most of his career. Defense is not the problem.

That’s a bit scary. Need to pray that Michael Reinsdorf loses those shares somehow.

Maldonado has all of 24 plate appearances. Sheets has 42. I would venture to guess you will want both guys DFA’ed once their small sample sizes grow enough. You are jumping the gun with this post far too early.

So three years for Getz to field a winning team, but does last year count toward the timeline? So two more seasons of rebuilding this season and 2026? Competitive team ready for the 2027 season?

You don’t know what I am getting at? What did I say that was confusing? I thought my question was very direct and to the point. Hahn started his rebuild in December 2016 with the Chris Sale trade. He then went on to have three losing seasons in 2017, 2018, and 2019, even though he still managed to win 62 to 72 games without setting the loss record. The Sox then made the postseason in 2020 and 2021. So one could say his rebuild took three years until he finally built a winning team. How long are we expecting Getz to be in “rebuild mode” and when can we expect to see his first winning team?

COVID is over now and everything is put into place. So what is Getz’s new timeline for the rebuild now? More specially, in what year/season can we expect to see a winning Sox team?

Apparently, beggars can’t be choosers. Maybe once Getz trades for more cash considerations, the Sox can bring them back.

Beggar’s Pizza, but point taken.

I saw some recent job postings from the Sox in the past year and Jerry pays dick. He probably wouldn’t match my current salary.

Getz glazers? 🤣

Nicky Katt, 54, suicide. Known for several movies — A Time to Kill, Sin City, Boiler Room, School of Rock, The Way of the Gun, and, Dazed and Confused, and shows — Monk, Law & Order, and Boston Public.

He did hit 21 homers twice.

Outman wouldn’t be the true “get” in the deal.
