I got to the 2nd sentence and lold

"I will tell you one thing, I will never pay under slot! Punt a pick? NEVER!"

Again, it tells me the front office know this team wasn't good enough where adding a few guys could power them through. They were already playing for next year. So far Getz looks right.

It doesn't matter what he is "going to be". It matters what he can give you today.

This is one of those, it should be zero, situations. One gets you unemployed.

Well, maybe your first step to understanding the economics 9f the modern draft should be to know who the director of amateur scouting is... well was.

No Joe Crede references? For shame.

And paid a decent price to do it.

It was actually very selective.

Putting threads together of surveys saying this was happening in 2021, a MLB tip leading to an investigation in 2022, and now it happening at a massive and premiere event in public in front of everyone in the baseball world to see, it is obvious this was a long running pattern. If you are comfortable enough to do it this many times AND in front of a baseball whos who at an event like this, he had zero fear of consequences. That's a pattern of behavior, not a one time oops, to get to that point. You don't act like that in public initially, you work up to that over time. That means everyone knew, and everyone allowed it to happen. That's chilling, disgusting, and ultra-dissapointing. Hell it's embarrassing.

Not for cause.

Bravo White Sox. Bravo.

So he's been investigated since 2022? Yeah, that's not better. JFC. I'd rather just have him being salty. WTF is wrong with this organization?

Speculation of a split between scouting (Shirleys camp) who wanted Emerson and the higher ups who wanted Roch.

My senseless speculation is I wonder if something around the rumored Roch vs Emerson stuff might have broken open.

But very quickly regressing towards what was expected.

You mean after Jerry spits out his cognac all over Getz screaming "You did WHAT???"

Seems like they would have said that. A press statement like this just begs for speculation.

Looking at the socials, NOTHING is being said.

Orly? This could be interesting.

Nothing surprising.

Honestly he didn't. This team wasn't THAT good. He knew it, which is why he didn't really add, and did the minimum

I think we learned a couple of Soxtalks real names here... For the record, is is "Perfectly Fine Field"
