True. That's probably why it worked out the way it did. Just like any other prospects, hopefully they will be MLB ready eventually. Keith Law said in 3 years for perez.

I think they signed him with a hope for more. Didn't work. But at least they got an arm they may be useful.

I think we were told they wanted a quicker not prolonged turn around. I don't think anyone thought it would be this year.

Yes, but then took 19 year olds for the rest of the trade. They may look at a couple for now players, but the focus is too improve for the up coming years.

To try to build up trade value. Unfortunately, the players did not hold up their end of the bargain.

I don't think the goal was to improve this year.

I'm not sure. It will show that he can handle a season healthy. Up until now he hasn't shown that. The only thing that will hurt his value is if he doesn't stay healthy. Killing myself with the grandad level puns today. ?

I wouldn't stress over it. #granddad jokes

More white sox weird injuries.

Totally different injury for a football player. His was severe enough they put a rid in his tibia to try to take the stress off the bone. Didn't work.

No. A stress reaction or fracture is more like a crack from overuse and the pain coming from the periosteum or covering of the bone. Going to need to modify his footwear for the future but shouldn't be a long term issue.

It's a stress reaction in the tibia. He'll be fine. Usually a 1-3 month injury depending on the severity.

He got one for now but two for later as opposed to 2 that are ready now as with the other trade. You can do multiple goals at once. It doesn't have to be all now or all later. He split it in this case.

We can hope.

Agreed just trying to figure out why they may take one package over another

Maybe the preference was to get younger players for the future as they won't ne competitive for a couple years.

Apparently.

Not like Kopech was having a stellar year. He's a talent project who hasn't lived up to any potential. What was he really worth?

Maybe the league just isn't sold on Fedde being able to continue this performance.

I think it's all about what they need to give up. It looks like the ask for Crochet is pretty high from that return. I guess we see if anyone meets it or if Getz folds under the pressure.

I disagree. I like the Cease trade and the Grossman trade.

Wasn't that the reason JR gave as to why he hired Getz? It shouldn't come as a surprise.

Probably true.

How can it not? That limits the teams that will pay for an extension with a player that has 2 more years of control.

Does this make him captain too patient?
