While he could probably hit more homers than Josh Rojas in the same number of at bats, he is more likely to get hit by the return fire of 115 mph exit velocity balls rocketed by the batters he faces due to his now gas can arm.

Getz is just trying to sell more tickets for Jerry later in the season. ”Come see the return of Thor at Rate Field!!!”

His numbers are free-falling almost as fast as Tauchman’s. At least Capra has a nice AVG (.309). Oh wait, that’s his OPS…

All other MLB teams have access to all the footage in existence of how bad Robert has been for approximately the last 1.5 seasons. It’s not just Sox fans with this knowledge.

I’ve got my money on former Sox killer Josh Naylor and he will go Adam Dunn on us.

Great port… And the entire point of playing a vet like Tauchman on what even Getz knew would be a losing team over almost any other young player is for what the vet returns at the deadline. The opportunity cost of playing old vets is the plate appearances that could have gone to a potential longer-term OF solution than Tauchman. So hopefully whatever Getz gets in return for guys like Tauchman and Slater will be worth it.

Isn’t there an Ignore option? It seems to me that you actually want to read posts from these posters whom apparently annoy you.

I believe he also got 43 days of service time for his career earlier this season with the Brewers so he is guaranteed healthcare and life insurance for the rest of his life. That and a $761K salary is pretty damn good for a player that has no business in the majors, even for one of the worst teams in the MLB. I bet Capra absolutely loves Getz.

I think that’s a good candidate for biggest surprise trade. Not sure I agree that it will happen though. I can’t imagine Sosa having more value in a trade than his potential value if the Sox just play him.

Getz is quickly ramping up to steal away the Dumpster Diving World Championship belt away from Hahn. Quite the impressive feat.

Thanks, bud. This is just more of the same. Garbage in, garbage out. You must also love those Clevinger signings year after year.

Just when you want to sign Thor — when he’s 32 and his arm is dead.

“The White Sox still stink. Getz is blowing smoke up @caulfield12’s arse. News at 6…”

The reason Tauchman and Slater likely were never going to be great acquisitions is due to their age. They are prone to frequent and nagging injuries, but this is also why they were cheap (under $2 million each). However, signing two vets to one-year deals has nothing to do with the future of the team or building around speed. Getz might sign a guy in a wheelchair if he was cheap enough and could still hit.

Robert is going to get hot once the temps get to above 100 degrees.

He really made this worse with the 30 seconds of dead air, rather than apologizing for the accident immediately. That made is so much more awkward.

And Clemens went on to pitch 11 more seasons and was an All-Star 6 more times. Haha.

On pace for 51 wins. Does Getz get votes for GM of the year for a 10 win improvement from last year?

Absolutely obsessed with left-handed hitters. Right-handed hitters were da debil.

This. The last known interest was over the winter with the Reds being the interested team. Should have taken whatever single top prospect (perhaps two?) they were offering and kicked in cash. It probably didn’t happen because either Getz wanted more or he couldn’t get Jerry to throw in cash. Either way, it was an utter fail of a strategy.

And Sox fans everywhere wonder — why?

Agreed. Heights make me sick. However, this is the same guy that gets equally anxious and excited about bad White Sox baseball, so it’s not as impressive coming from Schriffen. 🤣

Imagine defending JR. I wonder if he ever realized his stupid he was for doing that.

Agreed. The way he talks about Hahn, Rick is the anti-Christ and Getz had zero pull or fault while being both the director of player development and the assistant GM for years.
