Getz got robbed… highway robbery style to be precise. Can’t wait to see some posters try to defend this trade.

Can we sign Rick Hahn to a one day contract to make the rest of the trades?

This should be no surprise. The guy has won one trade so far — Robbie Grossman for a reliever. Getz values mediocre to crappy infielders just like himself, along with JR’s favorite David Eckstein. From Nicky Lopez to Miguel Vargas…

Once again, in the heavily skewed offensive PCL league.

It’s on the Sox official site now so I’m sure it’s correct… https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/news/erick-fedde-to-cardinals-tommy-edman-to-dodgers-in-3-team-trade

Yep, everyone wants to rape Getz now in a trade for Crochet after this embarrassing return.

Getz traded for himself.

PCL minor league numbers. He’s had almost a full season of plate appearances in the bigs and has been absolutely atrocious.

Haha, so our awesome GM actually packaged up three assets for this garbage return? Way to maximize value. Can we go back to that Jordan Walker deal please? Vargas blows and these prospects are nothing but lottery tickets that someone threw on the ground.

Just seems like a tweet of the guy throwing crap at the wall to see if it sticks, since there has already been news that the Cardinals are pushing hard for Fedde. Two unnamed prospects. I smell BS…

The Bummer trade was a disaster. Got back a bunch of crap and burned millions. Meanwhile, if the Braves weren’t competing, they could trade Bummer for a decent prospect haul. Another fail for Getz.

What an absolute embarrassment that offseason was. The “Machado family and friends recruitment strategy.” Machado basically played Hahn and the Sox to help get Yonder Alonso and Jon Jay a few million dollars.

I don’t think that’s the issue. The concern is that Walker’s swing needs to be fixed and no one has faith in the Sox being the team to be able to fix him. See Eloy Jimenez and various other hitters.

I stopped watching after “DeRo’s” first trade proposal for Crochet. Elias refuses to trade Mayo and they now need Norby to start at 2B with the injury to Mateo. Why do they pay these guys?

That would make zero sense considering he only has 2 years left until he hits free agency.

Looks like you are correct… https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5449846/2024/04/26/white-sox-jerry-reinsdorf-gm-change/#

I wouldn’t be surprised if he is non-tendered in the near future. Terrible bat and always injured.

Seems like this is a bunk rumor with AJ responding with a “Nope” and tweeting jokes about it.

Getz made an oopsie. Watch Pillar bring back more than Pham.

What a shirt, haha…

Not sure which comes first but he will sadly achieve both of those before he is fired.

And they were also down to 3 starters by the playoff series against Oakland — Giolito, Keuchel, and Dunning. Hard to believe they would’ve made the playoffs if it was a full 162 game season.

Agreed on not drafting a bat with their first pick. I think they were nervous about which bat to take so they went with what they feel confident in developing — a hard throwing lefty starter, especially with Crochet likely on his way out soon. They keep delaying the inevitable of building pretty much an entire lineup outside of maybe Montgomery and Quero. It’s difficult to see how they are going to fill seven other spots anytime soon.

And he hasn’t hit since his rookie season, in the majors or minors. Also, we already have a sub-.800 OPS DH that hits nothing but ground balls and people can’t wait until he is gone. Now we want another one? I guess at least Walker would be cheap…

We already did that with Atlanta in the Bummer trade.
