This was the predictable part. We were never going to get much for him, which is what made holding on to him for so long in the first place so odd. If Chris Getz really knew this was a historic dumpster fire, the time to deal him was very obviously coming off of 2023 when he was healthy and good for the first time (and still last time) in his career. And every year his value kept dropping like a stone.

I mean he is either successful and we trade him, or he isn't and we eat the cash. If he is too successful, he is going to go FA, and get the big deal he wanted initially from someone else. I guess we can hope that things change internally after the lock out/strike and our ownership situation, but eh.

The highlight of the winter was signing a Japanese star to a 2 year deal for about 15 to 20% of what he was expected to get before the off-season started, and only because the owner had to be begged to outlay $40 million. The Sox had a bit of goodwill for about 15 seconds there, and then back to the dumpster.

No this is the generic, non-copyrighted version you don't have to pay royalties for.

"Blown away" by the chance to grab another post hype utility player. Can't wait for his hot two weeks to declare this another win.

And they didn't have to trade him. Hahahahaha

Honestly it will be a small miracle if the second guy ever makes a 40 man roster

I smell the 2026 Marketing campaign.

The whole league knew Getz had to trade Robert, and apparently after the big splash, knew the Sox were also broke. Worst Poker Player, Ever.

Would have much rather had the Reds post hype and MASH pile than the bag of burning dog poo.

Post hype utility low pop hitters at that.

This year too from the reporting.

"Nothing" seems like a pretty accurate description of the return.

It's wild what free agents are going for, and we still sucked hind tit with Robert, refusing to pick up cash to the end to get an actual return.

This is such a D list operation.

If we picked up cash for this return, burn the franchise down. If we didn't pay cash, and this is why we got a garbage return, burn the franchise down.

it's wild the difference in the game comes down to a bunch of dudes deciding not to block on a punt.

Gotta go IU tonight. Their AD is from my hometown.

You looking for pics or what?

The kicker that won the game from the Rams is also an Indiana kid. He walked off against my HS with a 51 yard game winner.

Remember when Bears fans were pissed about Stroud?

Act like you've been drinking for years like a real Sox fan.
