So, again. He's not lying. He is lying. Even if he is lying, everyone does it, so it's ok. Thanks again.

It's funny you say this, but yet you proceed to very clearly agree with me that he is manipulating the truth and not giving the whole truth to people, meanwhile telling everyone its actually not happening, but even if he is, it is perfectly ok, because of how you buy cars, and you definitely can't handle it being said without having to rushing to defend it. Again. Mock it all you like, but then stop making my points for me.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

And the Cubs are hoping for a big spurt to get the happy ending they all are hoping for

They play their cards right, the prize is right there in their hands.

Haha, yeah, brain wreck

Boenmer over Monty is crazy after what Colson just did at the major league level last year.

I have repeatedly. If you don't understand that, that's on you. If I am not explaining in a way you can accept, that is also on you.

And if it happens, we will back to the point in this cycle where he has no value, because he has no control and an injury history. We have done all of this before. I have no idea why we think something is going to change, but here we are.

If you "don't need" it, why do you keep chasing me around to tell me how wrong I am? Why the need to literally make up things like "good" and "evil"? Why the need to worry about the definition of parsed words while completely ignoring context? If you are so secure in your beliefs, there should be no need to spend this much effort telling the world how I need to just be quiet and accept everything I am told at face value. Run along then.

So you can admit that Getz is perfectly willing to lie to us, but then get all up in a bunch to justify him doing exactly that when someone points out that is pretty clearly lying to us. Weird, because I think you are the one who is upset that someone is questioning the Great and Powerful Getz, hence the effort to parse his words and make everything okey dokey. Getz is lying, not lying, and justified in lying, all at once. That is covering some bases.

"Glean" all you like. You can try to turn this into playing around with the definition of "is" is type of garbage, but if Chris Getz is in pretty deep talks with the Reds and Mets, he is pretty actively looking to trade him, even if Chris Getz won't call it "shopping" so that Luis Robert can be Schrödinger's trade bait. You can play games with the phrase "shopping" so that Chris Getz comes out immaculate in your scenario, but big picture, this is just playing the dupe again. Getz will piss on us and call it a golden shower, doesn't mean that is accurate.

I am saying Chris Getz is lying through his teeth when he talks about keeping Luis Robert, and the fact that the rest of baseball keeps talking about other MLB teams engaging in pretty healthy trade talks according to reporters who don't see their living depending on keeping the White Sox happy is a pretty clear confirmation of that. We KNOW that Chris Getz will tell us whatever story is convenient at the time to sell to the general public, so I am not sure why we are taking what Getz tells to Merkin as gospel here.

It's funny, because the rest of baseball sure doesn't believe it.

It's honestly kind of wild. If you want him, you say you want him. If you don't, you stay quiet, but you should KNOW his price by now, so this flailing in the middle of the lake is just crazy.

Who knew that My Life on the D LIst was also about the Sox shopping habits?

You can both, support the team, and accurately describe the game at the same time. The idea that you can't is absurd.

Schiff is an asskisser, which is JRs number ask. He will be here at least until Uncle Ish takes over

Great for Jason. Anything that gets him away from Detroit more often.

Here's the thing. All of the teams who could use a Luis Robert are still very convinced that all it will take is a fairly mediocre offer to get him, and Chris Getz has done literally nothing publicly to dissuade teams and fans alike that Getz is either willing to move Robert, or needs to move Robert. While it can be argued that the fans might not be in the best position to know what Chris Getz is willing to do, his fellow GMs sure have an opinion that doesn't match this at all./

Most GMs who sign players to keep them, make it clear to the marketplace, fans, and player that they are here to stay. The only "nonsensical narratives" that need to end, are the ones that shift every debate to "what makes Getz look best".

Yeah, I hadn't seen this yet, and it seems like this should be headline baseball news, and it isn't. Weird.

Which is wild since we have years of precedent here. Also if this was the case, why wouldn't they just say this and stop the trade talks.

Good for Jason.
