Uh, what? What is this dumpster fire?

It also completely ignores that Getz WAS the leader of that development staff that failed. It's the spiderman meme in real life.

Considering he hasn't played due to a season ending injury, I feel like I would be the same.

If we get a Kris Byrant out of this deal, it was an all time great.

Laptop? Can we get him to throw out the abacus?

Player Development was quite literally Chris Getz's job.

Again, this team has to make up 40 games with Luis Robert on the roster just to get back to .500. They need to gain 45 to 50 games to get back to the playoffs. Is there any logic that sees Jerry swinging the resources necessary to pick up 40 to 50 games in the three years, all while paying Luis Robert too? We already know they are cutting for this year, so forget that one. We are now down to two years left. To me logic dictates working on the most probable path back to decency, thinking this mess can be fixed in three years doesn't seem logical.

Eder as any kind of a usable pitcher would be nice.

I see 121 losses last year with Luis Robert on the roster.

The odds of that are barely above 0.

Well greg is still here so...

Andrew Benintendi was a similar signing, of course he just fell off of a cliff here.

Me too Garrett, me too.

Correct. He can either sign now for whatever teams have left in their 24 allotment, or wait until Jan to get their 25 allotment. He is then under the standard six years of control structure for any typical draftee.

If you don't want your boss in your business, you should probably not suck at your job.

This team was 40 wins from .500. Yes it will take time. I mean, duh.

Really a bunch of C level guys instead of getting the A level guy who makes a real difference

Now that is a plan. Hold strong brother.

The Sox apparently insisted on Painter from the Phils https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5988070/2024/12/11/garrett-crochet-phillies-white-sox-trade-talks/?campaign=5888993&source=dailyemail&userId=6062851

If anyone gets Getz in the gift exchange, a nice comfortable office chair with wheels to he can just roll over to the next table he has a seat at is high on the list.

In a couple of years, if he is still around, sure.

Maybe get Comic Book Store Guy on it?

Doesn't he still have six years of control? Unless someone blows you away for no good reason, there isn't much of a point to trading him yet.

Honestly, he kind of sounds like Chris Getz. Shopping in the discount bin for sure.

Good for Chris sticking to his guns this winter. Hopefully he has learned something in the last year and a half.
