True. Vargas had to have been shoved down Getz's throat. Quite a bit like the time when Preller shoved Shields down Hahn's throat. Those SoCal GM's must be laughing. If this were truly the age of accountability (it isn't), then Getz should tell us how this trade went down.
I wish I were a fly on the wall when Getz traded with LA.
LA: What're you gonna do, Getz? Deadline almost here.
Getz: Who do you want?
LA: Kopech.
Getz: What about Fedde?
LA: We got him going to Cards for an outfielder for us.
Getz: What do we get?
LA: Vargas. Used to be a great prospect. He'll fit right in with Sox.
Getz: Not enough.
LA: OK. We'll throw in a couple 19-year-old kids who might be good some day. They're small, but slow. Fit right in with your org.
Getz: Done. Thanks.
Gotta hand it to Beckham. 2 outs in 9th inning, Altuve at bat with 2 strikes, and Kuhl throws a fastball high and very tight. Gordo said, "perfect pitch." Next pitch was low and outside, Altuve waved at it. Game ova.
