Yup.

The Orioles weren’t even offering that much for Cease and now we can get Norby and Beavers for Fedde and Kopech? Yeah, I’m gonna guess no. Elias is in love with his prospects and isn’t paying that much for 1.5 years of a starter without much of a history of success and an erratic reliever. Also, both Norby and Beavers would likely be in our top 5 or 6 after Quero, not the back end of our top 10. Ultimately, I think when we see the actual return for Fedde and Kopech, we are going to wish it was Norby and Beavers.

I like how you act like it’s a surprise that the Cubs or any other team would likely have better farm system coaches and instructors than the Sox. Yes, our owner, who cheaps out in every other way possible might not employ the best staff in the minors? Shocking, I know. And we all know that the Sox farm system spits out finished and ready major league players left and right.

Do you trust Getz’s evaluation of corner outfield power bats?

No, you will both get more Maldonado and like it!

He’s back to his usual self. OPS will be sub-.700 in no time.

Let’s get Sheets out of the lineup entirely. His hot streak is OVA, to quote Hawk.

That’s fine, but Getz should still be targeting younger players than Junks. Even Fletcher was slightly too old to be a good target for this current Sox team. I never once said anything about Luis Rodriguez. Getz is valuing the wrong types of players considering where this rebuild is at.

Tell me why any GM of a team where the Sox are at should ever be trading anyone for 28 year old players? If Julks was in his early to mid-20’s, at least I could understand.

You played this same game with Christian Mena already (trying to crap on him cuz Getz traded him away), and those posts now look very stupid considering Fletcher had to be sent down because he was so bad and he still didn’t even earn this latest call-up.

Can you show me these statistics that you are referring to that show 28 year old Julks is a good major league player?

He is an actual good player? Huh? What evidence supports that?

Awesome, what location?

In general, can anyone explain the rationale behind why Getz is trading young prospects for 26+ year old guys, with where the Sox are right now?

He’s already 28. It seems like Charlotte just needed an outfielder to replace Fletcher.

Live look at Getz in his office…

Remember when Sheets improved and was an .800+ OPS guy? Yeah, nope. Hot streak ova. Almost back down to his career line.

A 28 year old LF. Why?

He’s a wacky dude. He was always trying to call out Vince McMahon and the WWE in the past, even though their ratings destroy his for AEW.

Is there a consolation prize for 60-to-70 wins that I am not aware of? Would you really be more excited finishing in that range of wins? If so, why? A losing season is a losing season.

Any fishermen or women out there? I plan on taking my son fishing this Friday. I used to fish Axehead Lake in Park Ridge, IL when I was younger but now I always get skunked when I go there. We will probably check out Skokie Lagoons on Friday. Any good fishing spots that you fishing fans know of? I do use the FishBrain app already. ?

You also have to catch the ball and not muff it before you can “freight train” anywhere. ?

I wonder if Steve would have given up Mena for Fletcher.

It was the Mets. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/12/erick-fedde-nearing-deal-with-unknown-team.html
