Quin

And yet he still wasn't the dumbest Park of that trade. Preller getting Getz to take back Wilson instead of prospects was a pure fleece.

Well you see, Getz acquired one vs. developing one. It makes all the difference.

I'm like...50-50, in large part because there's no international draft. Nothing is stopping the Sox from giving Juan Soto that extra $100K other than Jerry. But at the same time, small market teams get those competitive balance picks. I think the best route would have been an NBA style draft limiting how far a team could fall based on record + if you want to punish large market teams like they do now, no competitive balance picks anymore.

And a stolen base!

Holy s%*#, Luis had non-HR RBI.

He is still not a good hitter. But Pedro was also "trying to win" or some s%*#. I just treated him harshly in regards to his defense. But, to be fair, he was often playing center between statues.

At this rate, he'll be wearing the black alts by the 4th inning.

I've been burned by too many hot streaks.

As someone that roasted Fletcher non-stop in his first few MLB stints, when the f*** did he become 2016 Adam Eaton?

The MLBTR article of these moves reads like a roast of De Los Santos and the Sox.

Can't wait to get those prospects for Wilson to complete the Cease deal.

Sunday games are now Bananaball.

Fine, here's my compromise: If a team pinch hits before their opponent's starter exits, they lose the position. Get ready for some crazy ball.

New rule: No 100 mph pitches cause analytics says faster pitches go brrrr

Chris Getz and company at work

One day, the Sox will upgrade to Windows 2000 and half their scouts will lose jobs.

Marco Paddy is the next goal post.

Tommy Pham needed playing time so they could basically get nothing in return for him.

McCarthy (2.7 fWAR), Bart (1.1 fWAR) and Robles (1.1 fWAR) would each qualify as the best hitter on the Sox this year. Take them instead of Fletcher, Maldonado and Julks and maybe you're not staring down the barrel of being the worst of all time. Hell, maybe having just three non-god awful bars in the lineup lifts all boats from the ocean depths.

Jose Ruiz looks like prime Eric Gagne compared to the Getz Bullpen

Rick Hahn assembled better bullpens. This is not a compliment to Hahn. Fire Getz.

At the game. Man, Davis Martin deserved better.

The mistake wasn't trading him, it was how it went down. 1) Hahn was working on a TA to Miami deal. Considering Burger was a last second move to Miami by Kenny, I'm guessing TA for Eder might have been the deal. Note: Pure speculation on my part. 2) Considering Burger was on fire and under a lot of control, they should have gotten more than Eder. 3) Hahn had a wild trade deadline on his way out (Quero, Bush and Lee alone make it a win), but @WhiteSox2023 is right: stop letting dudes about to be fired dictate trades.

Like, if he pulls off the impossible and wins at a .600 rate I'd turn into Lillian but I think that's about it.
