He succeeded so much on the Fedde acquisition only to botch the return for him so epically bad. He wasted his own trade asset.

I guess it’s easier to just stick your head in the sand, ignore it, and pretend that Getz isn’t doing a bad job.

You don’t see the irony in how a GM who was promoted undeservingly from within now has the initiative to only hire from outside the org because internal hires must apparently not be the greatest choice? Your point would make sense if it wasn’t Getz running the show and being in charge of this new initiative. But alas, the top dog is still just another Jerry minion. But then you made a joke about grabbing more Royals employees, so you seemingly are aware that the Sox are picking the wrong people?

Must now hire only from outside the organization!!! But guess who is the failure from inside the organization that is making this decision? 🤣 The irony is delicious. You can’t make this stuff up, folks…

Their biggest whiff was actually on an outfielder — choosing Little Person Fletcher over Jake McCarthy. But yeah, Getz taking Vargas back over Twins prospect Luke Keaschall should just be yet another nail in his career coffin as an MLB GM.

Can we build a Time Machine and force Getz to accept the Twins offer of Luke Keaschall, even after knowing he needed TJ surgery? https://www.sportsmockery.com/chicago-white-sox/white-sox-declined-top-twins-prospect-for-erick-fedde/ https://www.milb.com/player/luke-keaschall-807712 The wait for Keaschall to heal from TJ surgery would have aligned well with how long it will take for the Sox to improve the rest of the team. But no, Getz couldn’t give the Twins Fedde for next year because he thinks his team will compete for the division next season! Getz passed on a goddamn 22 year old career .900+ OPS 2B/CF minor league prospect for Vargas. This is almost as bad as the Mena for Fletcher instead of Jake McCarthy trade. What a fucking ass clown. Getz is the shitstain on your kid’s black underwear that you still throw away even after countless washes, just cuz you know it’s still there.

Seems like any and all Getz defenders have officially left the building (site). It’s to the point where it’s almost impossible to defend him at this point.

Yeah, probably cuz Jordan won his sorry ass all of those titles and a Sox championship was much more unlikely and tougher to achieve than finding a needle in a haystack.

You spelled it wrong. It’s “quit”!!!

$5.5 million guaranteed, @Lip Man 1. Solely intended to be a flip candidate but Getz epically failed as usual.

He’s excused. Vargas doesn’t deserve to have his name spelled correctly. Still good and worth a read. 🤣

Who traded for him? Getz. Guaranteed bust.

You are quite the risk-taker, my man… Don’t you know that Grady’s boys don’t quit?!?

I said the same in the past. An average GM, hell, even a terrible GM, would have to try to do this bad of a job… and they still wouldn’t be as successful at failing as Getz was since he took over last year. @Lip Man 1 will like this reference… The Sox may as well form a College of GM’s with fans running the team, like the Cubs did with their College of Coaches in 1961 and 1962.

Tapped out already? 🤣

Yep, another stellar trade by our amazing GM.

Julks leading off, Sosa batting third, along with Sheets, Fletcher, AND Vargas all in the lineup? They are going to kill Skubal.

Sorry, you are definitely right — ethically. But when it comes up from the chain of command, it’s very easy to see why people follow suit. I also don’t think an accidental / negligent discharge of a firearm would be considered a violent crime. Possibly involuntary manslaughter had the discharge killed someone (see Alec Baldwin). But she is definitely lucky she didn’t accidentally kill anyone. I think the story is way different then, and would match what you said should have happened.

Even the Sox aren’t this stupid, I think…

They were likely going to option him to the minors, but they wouldn’t have cut him.

It’s not frivolous when all involved want the story to go away for good. The woman knows this and will get paid to be forgotten. This is how corrupt Chicago still is. Drain the swamp, please.

They will never be the Dodgers, unless a billionaire owner buys the team. With Jerry as the owner, they have to pick a lane and stick with it. In this scenario, it would be spending on their farm system to eventually churn out players like both the Rays and the Guardians, rather than futilely trying to dumpster dive each and every offseason and hoping that multiple old bum players can all have magical seasons before putting in their retirement papers. Would you rather be the White Sox or the Rays / Guardians?

To what end? Would you want to do that and be the “tattle tale” on the police force for such a stupid incident? The police have bigger fish to fry, like actual murders, and were laughing about this stupid obese woman and her fat rolls causing an accidental discharge to be honest.

She isn’t arguing the source of the bullet, and since its origin hasn’t been proven, she is basically suing that she wasn’t “protected from bodily harm” (e.g., gunfire) while in the stadium. She knows she has the ISFA by the balls and that she will get her settlement money. She will sign an NDA as a part of the settlement. It will be small potatoes for the ISFA.

My buddy has friends in the CPD and told me the inside story almost immediately after the incident happened.
