That’s just the hand that’s dealt to all Reds pitchers due to the park factors. I assume the Reds acquired him because he throws so many sinkers, but he still strikes out a decent amount of guys. I think it’s an absolute steal for the Reds.

Agreed, I don’t understand it at all. Highway robbery by the Reds.

Awesome 1st round pick, right as the Sox DFA their 2nd round pick, and we discussed Vaughn being a potential DFA. Whatever position player the Sox think they should draft, they should automatically take their second choice. Maybe that would work.

I wouldn’t mind acquiring him. Brother Rice grad coming home. Better than Nicky Lopez. Still not sure why the Royals made this trade. India is mediocre. “Royals bolster lineup by acquiring 2B India from Reds for Singer; Kansas City also picks up outfielder Wiemer in deal”

He’ll more than likely put up another .725 to .750 OPS with poor defense and either be traded at the deadline or non-tendered after the season.

Sox afraid to admit Vaughn is a bust.

Only in his own fantasies.

Thank da lord Jeebus.

You mean our statuesque DH that has a career OPS almost as low as Neifi Perez’s? Please don’t tell me someone is arguing to bring Sheets back…

One could play that game all day long with the stuff he said last year…

Can’t lose Julks and his .581 OPS. He was supposed to be our platoon corner outfielder against lefties this year!

Here’s the source article… “Garrett Crochet headlines star-studded MLB trade market“

Think there may be a cynical reason for that? 🤣

Getz should have kept his signing a secret and announced it as a surprise at SoxFest.

Just looked him up. Looks like a good move on paper. A younger lefty power bat 1B… Maybe he can be everything Sheets failed to be! But he did go to Mount Carmel… 👎🏻🤣

Sounds like he’s back to normal now. He thinks it came from something he ate. I can understand the Phillies not wanting to pay him ~$6.5 million via arbitration though. https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/mlb/philadelphia-phillies/phillies-news/austin-hays-kidney-infection-phillies-playoff-roster/616260/?amp=1

Maybe not in our eyes, but I think Getz will want to try to show everyone why he acquired them.

Would’ve been good had Getz not already pounced on his #1 target. He’ll pass cuz he already has his savior Austin “The Slayer” Slater.

Why you don’t jump to sign scrubs early… Younger, better, and hits lefties as well.

I can’t believe anyone would actually pay to go to SuckFest.

In the future? By not acquiring horrible players in the first place. But obviously it’s too late for Getz to undo his bad moves from last year and he has to play these bums.

I think they will spend more on pitching but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the biggest bat they sign. Getz still has to try to prove out that the bums he acquired last year (Vargas and Fletcher) are major leaguers.

I just think it’s sad. Slater will be yet another guy that will be lucky to finish the season as a White Sox. Chances are he will be DFA and playing for another team before the end of the season and we will be trying to forget he ever existed.

He did look good for awhile but dude can simply not hit at all. He’s a Tasmanian Devil typhoon strikeout machine.

No GM should have to say such a thing to a veteran scrub who put up a .586 OPS and -0.2 WAR last year. It just proves more of the same from last offseason — that Getz values bad players. That negative WAR sure looks familiar to most of the players he acquired last year.
