It's like the balk copypasta: Chris Getz's moves are like balks. There are no explanations.

Chris Getz likes AAAA players like he was.

...they do know Major League is a fictional movie, right?

Homer Simpson is on an MVP pace.

Austin Slater and Gavin Lux will save us.

Gavin Sheets, Ozney Guillen Why are they so bad at this

I mean, he was at least good enough to be a AAA player. The others...less so.

Don't forget Elijah Tatis.

I don't know what Schriffen would do with this info, but I know I'd hate it

Rendon, Pujols, Hamilton The Angels are the poster child for this

Hot take: Sign a 26-year-old that is on a HoF trajectory. Sox had two cracks at it and whiffed. I doubt the Padres and Phillies care.

JR: "$15M AAV for three more years will cripple our franchise long term." Cohen: "$51M AAV for 15 years is what it takes to win."

So what I'm hearing is that we could have signed Harper, Machado and had some change left over. Dear f***

Ok, let's flip this: You make your entire career earnings - in Kopech's case, that was not looking like a lot - by age 35 or so. You've got no practical real world skills. You've been ripped to shreds by fans and analysts while you struggled mentally and physically. He was amped and excited when he came up. Hell, people ripped Burger to shreds for years for his Achilles injuries because he like, enjoyed video games. It's a miracle he turned it around.

Man, it stops being a kids sport at once they're playing on AAU teams, getting scouted in HS, getting NIL money, and getting millions for non-guaranteed careers in the minors. Let's not even bring up the gun-toting agents in Latin America, Cuban players risking everything to get here (Abreu ate a fucking passport), and semi-predatory loan companies that take advantage of young minor leaguers.

I need to introduce you to so, so many people.

If you're not able to actually be honest in these situations, that's not a good thing.

This info is much appreciated.

You should remember that Getz's GM mentor and grilling buddy is Jed Hoyer

On one hand, this bodes well for the Crochet trade market. On the other hand, this mean that even Chris Flexen is out of the Sox price range.

Diamond Club is taking its annual winter hibernation. Post all your baseball discussions in the main Pale Hose forum.

Aw man. Melton always came across as a such a good dude. Rest in peace.

I think the contracts handed out by the Dodgers, Padres, Mets, Yankees, Giants*, Angels**, and Blue Jays can put this stupid argument to rest. *Don't forget that they had Correa until his medicals were busted. **Results may vary.

Chris Getz and Vargas/Fletcher/Shewmake/Julks/Amaya/Robinson/DeLoach (all Getz acquisitions under .300 OBP) after they get Reverse Golden Battered too many times:

Now we're cooking.
