It’s just a really bad trade when you can’t even be confident that the player you got back will help the team more for even this year than the prospect you traded. Just an awful use of resources.

No, he thinks he’s a switch hitter again.

The whiniest among us will make up hypothetical bullshit to excuse an awful trade by Getz. You know, a trade that he actually made in real life and not in your fantasy land.

The trade fucking blows. Try to defend it.

This is Dominic Fletcher Part 2, but Getz managed to give up even more.

Even WE can’t defend this one.

Let this sink in all. Getz just gave up a reliever that would have helped this team more for a CF than is worse than the one we already have. The dude couldn’t hit in Coors!

This is horrendous. One good trade and two crappy ones.

MLB Network is probably your only option.

For that guy from Breaking Bad / Better Call Saul…

Nevermind. Brain fart. I was mixing up Castillo with Peralta.

Rumor is they are going hard after Detmers.

He does have two more years of control. Maybe they are expecting a quick turnaround. And ironically, just when you think you have an established starting catcher, s%*# happens and you have to rely on your backup or an offseason waiver claim at catcher. See the 2026 White Sox.

This makes sense. The Sox have made two deals with the Mets already and Torrens wasn’t included in either.

Agreed. Not sure why people are acting like Haase is anything. He’s bad.

That’s accurate. It’s 5:00 PM Central Time.

Are you The Chicago Pope on Twitter?

He dropped his nachos? I missed that. Playing with his food, huh? That’s got to be as bad as being a messy eater to Jerry. Fire him now…

Yeah, it’s not a rental but on the flip side we may not want the guy at $22.75 for next season and potentially $25 million for 2028 if he hits 180+ innings next season. It’s a bit surprising that Getz didn’t receive any cash considerations in the deal outside of dumping Seranthony’s money. The Brazobán trade was great. This one, not so much.

Which Urena? Walbert Urena? Again, why would the Angels have ever traded away a 22-year old breakout starting pitcher with a 100 MPH fastball that was ranked right in the middle of their top 25 prospect list? Why do you seem to think he was ever available? Your constant thoughts on the Sox acquiring stud young players for practically nothing are quite simply delusional and never in the realm of any sort of reality. It’s like you are playing MLB The Show and overriding lopsided trades in your favor.

This appears to be a great trade. Sucks that he’s so old for the additional 3 years of control, but the cost is seemingly so inconsequential that it doesn’t matter if he falls apart soon.

Why in the hell would the Padres reject this deal? Morejon is going to be a free agent. They could have had 4 years of control of a #4/5 starter for him.

The Schriffdawg ain’t takin’ that. Nuh uhhh…

Weird that they didn’t just combine this with the Taillon trade.

They just want to Bonemer.
