I don’t think Getz has shown interest in such a player yet.

How many negative WAR players has Getz acquired this offseason? He must be looking to set the record.

Cue the Getz in dumpster image (I can’t find it.).

Likely. More dumpster diving. Dude is 35 and can’t hit. It really sucks being a Sox fan. I’d rather watch Colas get at bats starting on opening day than watch at bats be wasted on this old bum.

Why is he all for it? Does he love QBs that can’t throw the ball and go 10-28 as a starter for your team?

Indeed. The worst of the worst.

Doesn’t make much sense as to how they are employed does it?

He’d be a better pickup than Dom Smith.

Oh, you didn’t know? @tray is a Sox fan ambassador. The White Sox pay him to speak for all Sox fans.

Would only make sense if they still plan on trading Eloy.

I always thought that Hinch was Hahn’s guy but Jerry overrode him and hired TLR. But after that, I did think that Hahn chose Grifol.

This would be nice.

But Middleton didn’t actually name any names specifically. I remember he said one reliever was falling asleep in the bullpen but he never said who it was. Besides, multiple players came out and said similar things as Middleton once they were traded from the Sox. It sure sounds like it truly WAS a toxic environment.

Was just thinking about this. Weird offseason. They are trying to compete while still turning their expiring contracts into new players. Still seems pretty half-assed.

Not surprising that JR, Kenny, and Hahn fell for a snake oil salesman since that’s what they were as well.

I think “asshole” is a bit harsh. He was just honest about a dysfunctional team. Refresher link for reference: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/38147621/ex-white-sox-reliever-keynan-middleton-rips-club-no-rules-culture

Benintendi is a bad signing for any team for his performance (complete lack of power). Sure the money isn’t a killer for most teams, but once again you said it — “Sure, for Jerry it is.”

Getz definitely will have overplayed his hand if Cease gets seriously injured in Spring Training or pitching before the trade deadline. Hindsight or not, his head should roll if that happens.

Your last sentence nailed it. Two of your three proposed moves (Montgomery and Soler) are fantasy land for the Sox, especially after recently splurging big free agent money for once on the worst possible choice in Benintendi.

When did he ever start?

Eh, I know people say you just have to get into the playoffs, but this team would get absolutely smoked in them, both offensively and via our stupid manager’s decisions. I also don’t see how we can assume anything all that positive from either Fedde or Kopech as starters.

Well, it doesn’t appear that a young OF prospect is coming anytime soon. When does Getz announce the Whit signing for 2B and RF?

I actually listen to them more for comedy relief than their sports insights. 10-28 as the Bears starting QB. True QB talent must never rise above poor coaching to these knuckleheads.

I don’t see how it could be way less. That second year of control versus Burnes has to be paid for somehow.

Agreed. Logic would say that the Orioles’ offer for Cease was likely higher. At this point, I wonder if it was one of Hjerstad or Cowser, Ortiz, and Hall.
