I think if Robert is traded, it will more than likely be Getz who caved.

I’m fine with it, as long as Lee is on the roster as well, which I still don’t understand. Dump Rojas already…

Tito Polo. Ryan Cordell was acquired from the Brewers for Anthony Swarzak.

The Sox literally got back only 10 innings of relief from Tyler Clippard as the final return for David Robertson, Todd Frazier, and Tommy Kahnle. What a garbage trade that was.

Cheap starting RF for next year. I wouldn’t be surprised and I think Jerry agrees.

At some point you have to realize you aren’t getting what you could have gotten for Robert after 2023. Two garbage seasons in a row will do that to a player’s value.

If that happens, Getz should be fired right after giving Robert his $2 million dollar buyout. Not that Jerry would do that.

Yikes. At first I didn’t think much of your comment but I didn’t realize Bader has been much better than Robert and is currently at 2.8 bWAR. Getz is basically trying to oversell Robert on mostly name value.

No idea. Ask @vilehoopster.

But interested teams are grabbing other targets — like the Phillies grabbing Bader. One less suitor for Robert.

And that’s a wrap. Down to the Mets?

I thought that was a great move at the time. The Sox got a 28-year old RF for money only. He was pretty damn good in 2010 and especially in 2012.

Good. Trade both guys. Brewers already won that Civale trade. 🤣

He doesn’t hit enough to DH. Well, not for a good team.

We could take over the moniker “Lovable Losers” from the Cubs.

Perhaps he can talk about the Sox going for it in 2016 and his stellar trade for James Shields?

#1 De Vries (#3 in Top 100) #3 Nett #13 Baez #17 Nunez

If the Sox don’t think he can be a starter, you are damn right. Closers going for insane prices.

I think that is where the Sox would move him to.

vileposter — this one could make the SoxTalk Hall of Shame.

Maybe in the final year. I can’t see Jerry approving eating this much money… 2026: $16.5M 2027: $14.5M

Benintendi was a Hahn signing so Getz is off the hook for that one. I was just laughing that you literally had to post “Keep Benintendi” as if the Sox have any choice in the matter. Once again, no one wants him but you. 🤣

Yeah, you don’t have to worry about Benintendi going anywhere. No one wants him but you.

One good fluky season surrounded by bad with only 4 years left of control. The control is probably even the bigger issue with him, rather than acquiring a player with 6 full years of control for this team.

But we need to add Thor to the rotation to bring the ladies to The Rate.
