Yes, but these are key players to Getz. He just got his platoon RF to pair with Tauchman and lefty reliever for the bullpen. Any free agency acquisitions will be few and far between and likely of the same ilk. C grade free agents.

Wouldn’t be surprised. This guy is softer than baby s%*# and very injury-prone. The starting pitcher equivalent of Eloy, Moncada, and Robert rolled into one.

What a weird thing to remember. I checked his game log. It looks like it was on August 24th against the Twins. He was at 89 pitches.

Triple A roster filler, just like Shewmake.

Mully and Haugh are still good. I just wish they were on later than the early morning slot. Harris and Rahimi have to be the worst sports talk on the radio and I can’t believe they can’t figure out a better duo.

This looks like a garbage trade but my guess is that the Orioles are just sick of Rodriguez’s injuries and probably think he can’t hold up at all. Our old friends at Orioles Hangout think it’s a horrible trade as well and are calling it the worst move of Elias’s tenure.

Keep enjoying your hibernation. 🤣

Marshall Harris of WSCR 670 The Score is calling the DGN at BR game on WCIU Saturday. Not very good on the radio but he’s pretty good at calling these HS games.

Worth numerous millions of dollars less than Tucker?

Are you trying to say that Getz is a master rosterbater?

In his first two seasons, he did look like he would be. But he never learned how to play a single position well and his bat then disappeared.

In other news… Rays designated OF Christopher Morel for assignment.

It makes sense as a constantly rebuilding team, but I seriously doubt this is what every Sox fan wants.

Yeah, that Booser trade didn’t work out so hot. 🤣

The Sox must love Davitt’s arm because protecting a 26 year old starter that hasn’t really dominated in the minors is somewhat interesting. Unless of course they just have no one else worth a damn…

Just in case anyone was seriously thinking the Sox would be spending in free agency this offseason, Getz probably just checked off “lefty bullpen guy” and “platoon RF for Tauchman / starting CF when Robert is traded” from his offseason checklist with these two trades today.

Junk for junk. A true Getz trade.

We finally have the final pieces to the Cease trade!!!!!! Tanner Murray looks like Braden Shewmake’s brother from another mother.

Pereira’s strikeout rate is pretty appalling. 29% in the minors and 39% in the majors thus far.

Very likely that he will be given the shot.

Gomez was penciled into the 2026 rotation by some, but as of right now he probably would have been. This looks like a classic Getz trade. Pereira was a former Yankees top prospect that hit well in the minors but hasn’t shown the ability to hit in the majors. But it’s probably worth a shot since Gomez was the cost. The problem is that Getz isn’t hitting the mark with these acquisitions outside of Vargas (sort of) — Fletcher, DeLoach, Meadiocre, etc.

By the way, it looks like Shane Riordan finally got a gig as Executive Producer of the Michelle Beadle and Cody Decker podcast. They aren’t even on a radio station after previously getting booted from SiriusXM for complaining about their time slot being replaced by Stephen A. Smith.

Marshall Harris has been great at calling high school playoff games, but he’s an absolute dud on the radio. It’s also painful to listen to Rahimi try so hard to act like “just one of the guys” and fake laugh at everything, including their dirty jokes. I don’t even like ESPN 1000 much but The Score is an immediate station changer these days.

I think you nailed it, but Murphy’s age versus Booser’s and what Getz gave up for Booser makes this move much less bad.

Jerry drinks our tears and it adds years to his life.
