Totally co-sign here. If the Sox have most of these veterans on the roster tonight, Chris Getz absolutely failed in his job.

The Sox inability to develop guys doesn't necessarily mean they were trading for bad players. It could just mean that our player development was garbage.

This is literally all you had to say. without that context, is sure sounds like you are contradicting your own statements.

I will also note that at the very least, not dealing him over last winter with the Cincy offer looks a lot worse in hindsight. I won't even go back how 2023 looks.

Better yet, he gets injured in the next week and doesn't get the option picked up.

What exactly are you saying then? Because I have no idea with all of the extra qualifiers. Prospects are overrated. Not everyone values these guys... what do you mean then?

They would actually sign a superstar contract. The Sox refuse to.

A huge upgrade from worst of all time.

Guessing no one wants him.

Sure, because their ownership will spend, and the Sox wouldn't.

Well you also downgraded prospect values in two straight posts, so it kind of sounded like it was a good deal the non-prospect way.

Didn't you just say this wasn't an impressive return?

Always the fun of reading too much into a short term trend. We saw a bunch moved this time.

I wonder if any other Pope's had this weirdness when dealing with people from their home regions?

I just can't imagine how you look at this steaming pile of dog water and think, yes, more of that! Are there Sox fans who are that desperate for something to grab on to?

THat was always the danger here. The Sox have guys, but like 3rd tier guys for the most part.

There should be some back end guys.

6 hours and 15 minutes to go. It is crazy that the Sox have made all of 1 move.

This is why you explore the market for Grant Taylor.

The contract that was made public literally said it couldn't happen before 2029, right?

They even have Benny playing defense

Trade deadline shows up and everyone is hitting like they want to be traded.

HBP on thumb

Can I interest you in trading them for older relievers?
