And who wouldn’t want to accept a promotion from a team in which the organization has historically not fired their front office people after years of poor results? Also, how low are Sox fans’ expectations that it’s even impressive to sign a first-time manager? It’s not like a first-time manager is going to command a ton of money like Craig Counsell. The Sox bread and butter throughout the years (minus the awful TLR best buddy hire) has been signing first-time managers because quite simply Jerry is cheap. Just sad how low the expectations are with this team. Jerry has brainwashed everyone. “Listicle.” 🤣

Talk about getting burned.

That penalty was a joke.

Sure, but do you think those other expenses account for the $190 million dollar difference?

So isn’t this proof that the Sox aren’t actually “losing money” as has been stated in other threads? They just aren’t making the revenue that they expected or want. Hence the slashing of payroll to Marlins levels. Will be interesting to see the 2025 revenue numbers.

Look at the team that claimed him — one of the few organizations as dirt cheap and awful as our Sox.

He’s going to plug up the big dumper so he doesn’t drop any more bombs?

Just like everyone in the original post, even more roster detritus from our GM.

See, he’s so bad you couldn’t get his name right!

Getz loves Meadiocrity.

Can’t wait to watch that prospect we got for Civale develop…

I was told he didn’t lose their trade though…

Andrew Vaughn getting interviewed. LOL!!!

Uribe wild in his second inning…

He is giving Ricketts and Hoyer the perfect excuse to not give him $400+ million. Outside of potentially losing this series, Ricketts is probably happy.

Yes, probably. And the Brewers will gladly bring him back. But don’t forget, Getz got Civale… 🤣

Kyle Tucker is a choke artist.

That ball was absolutely smoked by Hoerner. Lucky for the Brewers it went straight to a guy.

Juan Uribe’s brother is so good. I’d let him finish it. 🤣

Yikes.

PCA.

Seriously, Vaughn. Why didn’t you do this with the White Sox you chump? Once again, WE, the Brewers won the Civale trade.

I looked at the list and it’s ridiculous. https://www.mlb.com/amp/news/mlb-free-agents-2025-2026.html

Getz has about a 90%+ rate at “sneaking” players through waivers because most of the players are bad and no other team wants them.

You should already know the back story. This isn’t confusing. Wilson was the final piece of the Cease trade and was acquired solely to be flipped for additional prospect(s). He failed miserably after the Sox acquired him in 2024 to the tune of a -0.6 bWAR and was untradeable. Wilson was then signed for $950K in January of this year which is barely over the minimum. A month later, Wilson was DFA’ed so the Sox could claim Brandon Eisert off waivers. Not one team was willing to claim Wilson at only around $200K over the minimum salary. So while it’s nice that Wilson can now serve a role as a cheap reliever on a non-competitive team, he was acquired to be flipped but he wrecked his own value immediately after coming to the Sox from the Padres. Meanwhile, Liam Hendriks was a very well paid and good closer on a competitive Sox team. Not really a good comparison.
