It could also be that the Sox have no confidence in drafting a bat with such a high pick after so many previous failures, while they have actually had some success with selecting the type of pitcher you mentioned. Having to draft a SS because the SS you took two years earlier already looked like a bust almost immediately is pretty damn sad.

Maybe Bernstein will be kind enough to give his old friend Shane Riordan a job? That bum has been milking unemployment for 4 months now.

They take their fishing much more seriously in Minnesota. Probably why they were willing to excuse Bernstein’s fish-fueled rage.

Luis Robert is coming back!

No prospect within the top 30 in the MLB and not too many exciting prospects after their first 12. Seems reasonable.

It would be interesting to know the truth behind both the Vargas and Mead trades to see if Getz had an option of younger prospects that may not have been highly ranked yet over players like Vargas and Mead that were already aging out of prospect status. See @GreenSox’s comments…

Vargas has mediocre power as well. Sosa has more.

Minor league numbers, just like Vargas.

I liked the trade but if he’s just a 1B with no power, meh…

Cue the Beavis and Butthead shutout image…

The Sox are playing 200 games this season.

I guess at least he can eat innings. Rojas just wastes plate appearances.

That’s really the only way the trade made sense for the Sox — if Getz dealt Civale.

Benny’s Benis is what makes him worth that contract. 🤣

Old aches and pains. He’s bringing back “General Soreness”.

Half the starting lineup is still holdovers from the Rick Hahn / Kenny Williams era. Robert, Sosa, Montgomery, Quero.

Pretty sure that was a sarcastic post. Greg apparently hacked his account and made the post. It was so well done, I actually thought it was legitimately a Greg post until I saw that the author was Quin. 🤣

Maybe Getz can trade for him once the Brewers offer him salary arbitration?

Cue the upcoming Colson slump… 🤣

Well, that could be your 2026 opening day starting outfield, barring any trades and injuries in Spring Training.

So we just need to send Mead to the Brewers and he will become a stud?

I guess that the Sox staff turned a mediocre starter into a good one in 11 starts.

This could be the absolute dumbest way I have heard of a team choosing a player to retain. Amazing.
