Yes. It’s absolutely f’ing disgusting. The guy is DFA material and he has pretty much played a full season.
.660 OPS for a “lefty slugging” 1B/RF.
Embarrassing.
Getz is a turd. 💩
Whoever is managing the digital scoreboard is drunk or stoned. Earlier, they said it was the end of the inning on that bad throw to first base. Just now, they gave the Sox the run instead of the Tigers.
Getz is setting expectations for the Sox fans who are pissed off about this season and that are expecting dramatic offseason moves, because they aren’t happening. Getz also recently used the word “rebuild” for the first time.
Oh, I’m sure they will add a couple hitters but they will be DeJong/Lopez/Sheets quality and under $5 million.
Here is the proof if @WBWSF doesn’t believe you…

Flexen has a 3-15 record. Touki or some other starter/swingman bum could have done the job, ate innings, and contributed to losses just the same as Flexen. It wouldn’t have mattered.
Every team has those examples. It happens in every sport. Owners should have a short memory on that stuff. You can’t just stop signing any top players to big contracts because you’ve had a few albatrosses.
If you looked at it as an acquisition that was meant for a contender maybe.
But I disagree because the goal was to actually get something in return for his offseason acquisitions. DeJong and even Pham were at least dealt for a return.
