The best part is that there's no reward for tanking. They can't pick higher than 10th and they can't pick in the competitive balance round, so it's not like they get pick #31. I think Bmags is saying they're selling moves like DeJong and Maldonado as "we're trying to compete" when there's no point cause they're horrid when now is the exact time that they should see if they have anything in their guys like Sosa, Colas, Lee and, until this past week, Rodriguez.

Absolute deserved shade thrown by the Guardians

Madrigal was traded for the best/second best closer in the game at the time (with Liam). Liam was down to move to a "pitch whenever" role since Kimbrel is one of those guys that needs the 9th, but TLR did the opposite. And, once again, Nick Madrigal has sucked since leaving the Sox.

JR will spend everything to fix up a beat up 2002 car on its last legs vs. buying a new one

WHO'S LAUGHING NOW PEDRO?

My god, Eddy and I are agreeing

This is like saying you give 150%

The house has already collapsed and the property value has plummeted.

I think the current Knights work specifically for Charlotte, but there is part of me that wishes they'd instead go with some form of their Caballeros jerseys full time. Makes no sense for a team in Charlotte, but it's amazing. The Dash I have a soft spot for because it's a punny name.

I think the Sox affiliate branding is pretty great, but when a minor league team decides to in the opposite direction it needs to really lean into the silly. Great slate today with the Jumbo Shrimp, Trash Pandas (top tier MiLB logo), Grasshoppers and Green Jackets

"But he was left a dumpster fire to deal with so it's not his fault" Look at the FA tracker on Fangraphs and Maldonado sticks out like a sore thumb as an atrocious catcher signing. https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/free-agent-tracker

Ooooh, is Crochet going to be the new fall guy when it comes to culture? God damn do I feel bad for him.

Let the man do his job

Just because Benintendi's contract exists doesn't mean you should sign another old player, with a reputation as a hot head (culture!!!) when you're in rebuilding mode. Getz's moves get to be judged based on his merit, not KW/Hahn.

Pray for the souls of everyone in his fantasy league.

So did Barfield recommend Fletcher? If so, well...

Will Caitlin Clark score more points in this game than the Sox in the month of April?

I once used flex seal spray as improvised soles on a Halloween costume. That s%*# worked. Phil Swift for GM.

I feel like if Vaughn is ever going to discover himself, it would be now, when it would be utterly futile.

Look man, at this point the memes write themselves.

lmao

What about a Dominic Fletcher profile???

I'm talking post-JR White Sox.

Nah, this is all still Moncada/Eloy/Colas' fault for not being part of the Clubhouse Culture ™️ that Chris Getz fixed. Cause Garfein has the gall to put out a podcast titled "how Chris Getz fixed the clubhouse" on March 22nd.

See, here's where I am. Prior to part way through last year, I was the eternal optimist. Once KW and Hahn were fired I figured things might turn around, because JR only makes moves when embarrassed. Then this fucker and then the water cooler jug replacement gang have been trying to gaslight us all off-season into believing that Getz isn't a screw up that yes-manned his way into a job and is actually a wunderkind assembling a beautiful roster. That this rebuild will be different. Instead, this rebuild has the vision built on... David Eckstein and the early 2010s Royals. After hearing about how bad Yaz was and how awful he was for culture, I guess, Martin Maldonado being demonstrably worse is hilarious. If they're gonna be bad, I'm gonna have fun watching Chris Getz and Pedro Grifol ensure that they never touch another MLB franchise again.
