My original point was that Getz is a bit too hasty in signing his targeted scrubs that could perhaps be signed later for a minor league deal. Fedde was signed for 2/$15 and had at least one other suitor (Mets) so he wasn’t in the same category of players that I was referring to.

Fedde was officially signed on 12/13/2023. https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/roster/transactions/2023/12

I think this is what @ChiSox59 is referring to but hopefully he can correct me if I’m wrong… https://www.purplerow.com/2009/2/19/762532/mlb-transactions-part-thre

Don’t listen to it if you don’t want to get angry. Reporters drilled him pretty well. ”Did you know that Cairo Santos is a perfect 70 of 70 within 40 yards?” ”Yes, but we were comfortable with the positioning on the field goal.”

Fedde had other suitors (I seem to remember the Mets) and he was signed for 2/$15 million. That’s a different situation than DeJong, Soroka, and Lopez. DeJong turned out well but at the time he was signed, he was coming off of 4 bad seasons in a row.

Yes, he seems like a guy that should garner a minor league deal rather than an MLB deal like you said. Seems like Getz did the same thing last offseason and struck early on guys he wanted, rather than waiting and seeing what the market would dictate for these bottom of the barrel type players — signing DeJong and trading Bummer rather than waiting to see if the Braves would non-tender Soroka and Lopez.

@ron883 is hoping the Sox are the team that brings him back.

Mets signed Rafael Ortega too. Darnit!!!

Yep, Getz did this last offseason as well. He wanted to improve the team defense and signed a bunch of scrubs early in free agency that matched his awful vision, even though teams were rushing to sign these old has-been vets.

The bad times are much more frequent than the good times and Jerry is to blame for that. Not Sox fans posting on a message board.

The Sox like Sheets so much they wanted to pair him with the right-handed version of Sheets. Slater is turning 32 in a month. Guys don’t get better at that age, so I wouldn’t bet on him getting back to his good Giants days. This is the caliber of dumpster diving Getz is all in on.

He doesn’t deserve the effort.

Poles can go too. It’s been almost 3 years since he was hired and the OL is still trash.

Yes, that was dumb. Eberloser must have passed a brain-fart to him.

Who burns out clock to settle for a 46 yard field goal? Since when is a 46 yard field goal a gimme?

Eberloser gonna get grilled after all of his stupid decisions at the end of this game.

That’s what happens when you waste a timeout and don’t try to make it a shorter field goal. Eberloser.

Odunze studly.

LOL, nice offensive line.

I also didn’t like the delay of game penalty and loss of five yards to try to get an offsides call when you want to pin the Packers back as much as possible on the punt.

The Bears would have ruined Tom Brady’s career if they had drafted him.

That’s a lot of paid streaming services. Stremio + Torrentio + Real Debrid + VPN = watch anything

Everything Jerry touches is amateur hour.
