Yeah, that's totally what he got in the Crochet deal.

Buying yourself some time so you don't bring Colson up immediately?

I don't think that has anything to do with it. A good player would gladly take the Sox money if they handed out an actual big contract.

That is my hope. Then let Rojas split time between 3rd/2nd/OF with Ramos/Sosa getting most of the playtime, but Rojas playing 3/4 or so times a week around the diamond.

I'm guessing Amaya.

He wasn't very good last year. I know you want to spin everything as a negative for Chris Getz, but this isn't some Kopech situation. It was crap for crap.

And they got the corpse of Aaron Bummer.

Remember when the O’s got rid of Eloy before the season was even over? I’m sure this happens quite often. Not everything has to be some colossal failure. It was an Aaron Bummer trade.

He was the 229th pick. Most of those picks have glaring issues. Come on.

Who here is arguing they wouldn't want the Dodgers front office (more importantly, resources)?

Well, tough day for Bama and SCAR.

Trading Yordan Alvarez was the worst thing they did from a non Bauer thing.

Oh no I pointed something out in regards to their current front office that wasn't even a dig. What a stupid thing to do.

Kershaw debuted 6 years before the current regime showed up.

Yeah I think that's the play. Basically guarantees they can have a ton of success but you can still slow play. In that situation you'd see Schultz in back half of the year and Smith MAYBE make a couple starts for Charlotte.

I am not too worried about him trading up for an O-lineman. They will be picking 9th at worst, 4th at best. I don't see the need to do it. My fear is he goes pass rusher first (which would be fine), but then uses the Panthers pick on like a corner or something.

I've never seen a team need a bigger culture reset than this. And I'm including the White Sox in that. This is just pathetic.

Yeah, they were obviously incredibly bad last year, but you need a lot of bad luck to lose that many games. Plus, didn't the bullpen blow like 35 or something games when they were winning in the 6th or later?

They will win 57 games.

Not every move by another team is some incredibly calculated genius move. The Red Sox must have set themselves up incredibly well when they traded Mookie Betts, right?

Okay? Angels fans have never seen Mike Trout in the playoffs and just saw Ohtani win it the year after he left. Angels fans probably should be more miserable than us.

Angels had the two best players in the world and did literally nothing with them. Not sure about the Mariners.

He was a coach for the Yankees longer than he was with the Angels. He also was with the Giants for a year.

Well good thing he won’t be making those calls in games.

You quoted him to begin with on something he would have not liked that.
