Nice analysis. 🧐 I’m not assigning anything to anyone. Hayes is a Twins reporter and I posted his report. Now we have our own board insider saying it was accurate except the Twins also wanted the Sox to cover some of Fedde’s salary. Regardless of how you want to analyze the tweet in your own head, acquiring Keaschall would have been a better deal for the Sox than awful Vargas, even if they had to send cash to the Twins in the deal. And Getz does have a couple good trades — Grossman and DeJong. However, those two minor trades don’t outweigh all of his terrible moves. But fine, round of applause for our GM!

Ideally, they keep him until the trade deadline and he tears it up, rather than selling him this offseason while his value is so low.

They were trying to get to the playoffs. That also tends to boost the value of a franchise.

Probably not but their current #3 prospect would look much better on this team than Vargas.

Brutal. So Jerry wouldn’t eat any part of what was remaining on a $15 million dollar contract for a better return than Vargas? That sure went well. With that kind of cheapness, Getz is totally going to include Benintendi in a Crochet trade.

Yep, I know finding recent posts in a thread you posted in 13 hours ago is difficult.

The “Share” link feature apparently doesn’t work properly, but you know exactly what I was referring to. A reporter with sources can’t ever be right, but WestEddy always is!

Getz has confidence his team is going to compete next season, just like last offseason. 🤣

They are also like $5 bucks on sale sometimes at places like Menard’s.

This is true but he was lights out for 5.1 innings right before he was traded. I realize it’s a small sample size but Kopech wasn’t sucking right before he was traded.

You seem to think that your opinion on a trade outweighs an actual reporter’s, yet you are just a “guy on the Internet”, so what’s the difference here? Seems a bit hypocritical for you to say this considering your post below…

It was actually The Athletic’s reporter Dan Hayes that covers the Twins that said Minnesota was willing to trade Luke Keaschall for Fedde, not Nightengale, so does it count now or is Hayes a hack too? Hayes reported this right after the trade deadline. Sure sounds like a very direct and explicit statement to me…

I noticed this right away but I couldn’t figure out what the heck was going on.

Damn, we don’t agree on sh1t but excellent muthafvcking post!!! I would only disagree with the trade being one prospect short. Vargas was bad with the Dodgers. There was already some history there. Give me one solid prospect that hadn’t already failed miserably in the majors instead of Vargas. Getz f’ed up royally if the Twins truly offered 2B Luke Keaschall for Fedde as was reported. Keaschall, a second baseman, a position of need for our terrible team, but Getz supposedly said no because he didn’t want to deal Fedde to a division rival. Keaschall is currently #63 on MLB’s top 100 prospect listing. If you recall initially, the trade return expectation for Fedde was a prospect around 100 and a lesser prospect. Absolutely brutal decision by Getz. I won’t speak for WestEddy but the trade is already failed, considering what Getz could have gotten back for Fedde alone — a top 2B prospect named Luke Keaschall.

Notre Dame overmatched by this BR team. DB Conner Stack is the player of the game. 35-7 Crusaders with 7:19 left in the game. 4-3 now. They should beat both St. Laurence and St. Ignatious on the road to finish 6-3. I truly think they are undefeated without the injuries to their two starting guards.

Yep, the Sox are a team with an owner that refuses to pay for a star player so when you can find one for at least 6 seasons at a cheap price you can’t drop the ball and trade him for a dead arm old starting pitcher.

Getz has done so much bad that one thread alone can’t contain all of his badness.

It was mainly bad because he gave up a cheap 5+ WAR starter with another cheap year of control and got back a player that the prospect shine had already worn off of. Why Getz didn’t go the all prospect route for the main return piece (e.g., Luke Keaschall), especially with the state of this team, I will never know.

At least Clevinger bilked $3 million bucks out of our wizard GM as he sat on the IL all season.

It’s interesting how the same poster who accused other posters on this site of “circle jerking around shitting on kids just because they play for the Chicago White Sox” is also a staunch defender of Mike Clevinger. God forbid some posters may not think that Samuel Zavala will amount to anything but don’t throw baseless accusations around about Clevinger! Anyways, please point me in the correct direction of the “FIRE GETZ” circle jerk. I brought enough Jergens for everyone…

Because Getz listened to the assistant hitting coach he fired a week later.

Probably, but CHSN’s obscenely large score overlay will still just block the view of the backdrop. 🤣
