Exactly, and it needs to be killed with fire.

No other MLB GM would actually sign Clevinger to a minor league deal. Getz will not only pay him millions over two years straight, but he will also let him pitch when the entire world knows he’s a cancer and also sucks. What else can you say?

Yeah, you just knew he was going to immediately be this successful in the majors after two awful minor league seasons in a row, right? What a freaking joke of a comment, trying to shove it in peoples’ faces as if you just always knew Montgomery would tear it up upon his call up. 🤣🤡 No one is eating crow because no one — including you — thought that Montgomery would have this type of immediate success after two bad seasons in AAA along with his back issues. Unfortunately for your usual Getz agenda, Montgomery was drafted by Hahn, so we can thank him instead. But please give us your thoughts on Booser and Gilbert whom our current GM actually acquired and traded prospects for.

I’m not running with anything. It’s clear that the Brewers won the trade.

That’s not really how trades work. Vaughn is still contributing to the Brewers so they obviously won the trade.

Getz won another trade I see.

Getz gonna Getz. It’s laughable that anyone thinks this dude is going to turn around this decrepit franchise before he is justifiably fired by an owner that may actually care about winning. Remember Jerry’s quotes about how great finishing in second place is. He has bred a culture of losing and Getz is just his latest pathetic minion.

Are you sure? I thought the bullpen was middle of the pack, and have you double-checked their record since May 1st?

As well as a scholarship in his name… https://cyclones.com/news/2025/8/13/iowa-state-football-creates-alex-ernst-legacy-scholarship

It would have been sweet but the timing would have never worked out with cheapskate Jerry. Crochet is the only guy they would have paid for this year. Giolito is at $19 million and Rodon is at $27 million for the season. Crochet is only at $3.8 million for this season but his salary is about to jump to $24 million starting next season on his new extension and it increases from there. Jerry would not have approved any one of their new contracts.

Because he’s crushing it in AAA, Robert is done, and your other options are MAT and the same overpaid suck in LF. Perfect time to give a dude playing time.

GM’s absolutely own what their managers do these days in baseball. And if it isn’t that way for a historically losing team over the last 3 seasons, the Sox are even dumber than we think…

Exactly. Tauchman will be back next year. He’s going to get his salary arbitration and his daughter’s same doctor care. He’s happy. Benintendi already signed for millions that he isn’t earning. Neither of these guys are likely going to b1tch if you give them some time off in yet another horrible losing season to get some other outfielders some playing time. And if they do b1tch, who cares? They won’t be around for the next competitive Sox team anyways. So fuggem if they actually do b1tch. And people can argue that Fletcher, DeLoach, and Robertson are garbage. I won’t disagree. They probably are. But we already know for sure what Benintendi and Tauchman are — one is an overpaid pile of suck and the other is an old, oft-injured, average at best right fielder. Stop wasting at bats on these guys… Getz is simply terrible at managing a roster, considering his team sucks, he has plenty of flexibility to do whatever he wants, and he has an owner who is on the way out and is never going to fire him. And yeah, when I first googled Will Robertson, Duck Dynasty bullshit came up. 🤣

I’ll never understand what Getz is doing. Sure, Fletcher, DeLoach, and Robertson could all suck, but why did you acquire them to barely give them at bats over the course of two losing seasons when a guy like MAT is still getting starts?

He’s back! Andrew Vaughn went 3-for-5 with a run scored and two RBI against the Blue Jays on Friday.

What’s the Sox record since May 1st?

Sox gonna Sox.

Where is the Sox bullpen at statistically these days? It can’t be middle of the pack in the MLB now…

AAAA guy.

It’s going to be awhile, especially with Jerry having no reason to spend money until Ishbia actually takes over.

Is there any reason to keep him up at this point? This has to be destroying any confidence the guy had.

It’s called a bad GM and weak scouts hoping and praying that they can luck into a starting position player because they don’t have much left in the tank. No different than the trades for Fletcher and DeLoach. Would have probably been better off trading for lottery pick prospects than this weakass Australian.

Brother Rice beating up on Valpraiso 28-7 at the half. EDIT: 43-19 final. BR had their backups in at the end of the 3rd quarter.

And then Getz gets to play the game of the risky diminishing value asset for yet another season. I doubt it ends well.

I have to think @Y2Jimmy0 is right. The only way it would make sense to buy him out would’ve been a career-threatening injury, not a typical hammy strain. I agree that the decision on the option has already been made.
