Bad expectations that just one of the four players he acquired would play better with the Sox than their previous team? Wow…

Yes, it is. Castillo has not been good all season and Doyle has been an awful hitter for 2 straight seasons at a hitter’s haven. Where are these small sample sizes again? Getz targeted two players on the downswing, rather than what most teams do — target players in the middle of good seasons.

Of the four players Getz acquired, one got injured in 3 games and the other three players have performed worse with the Sox than their previous team. Bad luck or bad targets?

No, call up Adams and use him in the rotation. Instead, we have a past his prime and expensive “ace” that has pitched one good start out of four.

Nepotism is a wonderful thing. He made his career off of his last name.

Meanwhile, Jo Addell has an .861 OPS with the Guardians.

The Rockies doing what Getz just should have done.

He did say that. Perhaps he got sick of them already in less than a month. 🤣

Hineybirds!!! This was back when he would actually still talk to them, haha.

The one dude did the Macho Man elbow drop. 🤣

More fighting at the ballpark…

Brutal. Not a fan of Payton.

Pretty sure he was always truly a Cubs fan, not a Sox fan.

Get ready for another fantastic finish.

Yes, bought unwisely unfortunately.

This trade deadline was probably half of Getz’s next offseason and spending.

Some people posted this in the original trade thread. It was eerily similar considering Castillo’s age. Shields was one year older at 34 when he was acquired compared to Castillo (33). The Sox have historically never realized that players don’t improve with age. 🤣 For my buddy @hi8is…

Who wouldn’t undo those trades and take Boston Smith and Mason Adams back right now? Put Adams in the rotation right next now instead of Castillo and have either Hays or Pereira over Doyle. Are the Sox better or worse?

It’s funny cuz he was focused so hard on only acquiring players with additional years of control. Now it’s looking like you wouldn’t want these players for additional years, and there would be better players available in the offseason. 🤣

That was some truly stinky stanky bp action.

I’m 6 beers deep and about to play some Golden Tee with my son. Not at all. Meanwhile, you will be seething about this Sox loss all night and looking for the next “negative” poster to attack. 🤣

Probably the second best season of his career.

Yeah man, totally. 🤣

Mets get the field goal to seal the game.

Trust me, I don’t. 🤣
