Kershaw is the same way. Still you need those horses to get you there. It might have premature to take him out so early. Some guys get better as the game goes on.

Getz would trade all of them to make Birmingham better

I guess we will wait a decade. Unfortunately the rebuild needs to begin with the fan base. Not gonna happen. He will crush anything involved with a winning culture. Somehow all of these changes we believe will create success but doesn't most of these teams do things that are suppose to create success. You definitely need talented people and keep them. I don't think this organization can attract those people. Reinsdorf managed to attract more negative press on a world wide scale than any organization in baseball. Even people in Bangladesh know the organization sucks. Not only does he need to apologize to fans through actions but all of MLB. He seriously needs to sell because that is probably the #1 wish of Sox fans. Imagine if he apologized to fans hiring LaRussa, which I also think is a reason why any potential front office people would avoid this organization.

`Says every bad owner looking at their profits.

Sports have become less professional and more barbaric.

Unless you are a prospect wanting to be in the big leagues before your time being traded to the White Sox will crush any built up morale.

So they listened to ONE guy. No one else had any input?

What I don't get is did anyone in the organization say that wasn't a good idea? If this was recommended plenty of people need to go. Or did they want Getz to fail? Did Getz take any advice? There probably has to be a lot more going on in this organization for such a horrible trade. The only other option I can think of is Tony thought it was a great idea.

This is where analytics overrule gut instinct.

Every time I've seen Kopech pitch there is a lot of luck. The best I've seen is when he doesn't try to throw through a wall. He doesn't really have a lot of control. He just got taken out. He's not starting pitching material either.

Neither will they. The Sox got great attention for being inept.

What was missing in the was he came from a habitually losing organization. Local media tried to prop him up for the two world series appearances but failed to see the lack of sustained success. I never liked the hire because it was a Royal. Don't think Getz had nothing to do with that hire.

Only in fantasy sports Our reality is a nightmare, Then all it takes is for them to make Boras their agent. Then we kick the can down the road and make Birmingham better.

You have to wonder if the Padres ran out of prospects to trade. But you can dupe Getz into making Birmingham better, I admire their aggressiveness trying to unseat the Dodgers. That seems like it is the only real rivalry in baseball. No white flag trades there despite having a good season without Soto.

Said every fan with a cheapass owner.

I think more teams hold on to their real prospects. With an injury prone league when a major player is out you need someone to fill the spot that gets a short audition at the big leagues. It's a good way to evaluate their younger players. I just don't trust the Sox with a good organization's prospects. The coaching isn't there and never was. Interesting to hear AJ talking about the Sox organization when it comes to other prospects thinking if they were in the Sox organization they could make it quicker to the big leagues. The downside is losing service time and could be closer to a DFA than the big leagues unless you find another easily duped GM.

They could try the "spend money" thing. Getz continues to prove he can be easily duped in trades and get more Vargas caliber players. Trade is a bad word for Sox fans unless you like a decade or two of bad baseball.

It shows how low our expectations are when I see sign Leury and play Vargas at 1B. Death should be an option in those choices. We like to redefine suck.

Minn can easily catch the Sox in low payroll

I can't see any experienced manager wanting any of this. Sizemore fits the bill. I wouldn't mind David Ross.

Lynn stated what Pham did about players being out of position. Interesting ending But it's still a damning indictment of both's clubhouse conduct and a very bad look for LA, to say the least. Is that it's not good for LA to rely on Sox rejects? After the last trade deadline it seems the Dodgers know who to fleece.

he was out starting 2024 season

Wow I didn't watch (no ESPN) and thought 2-0 lead going into the 9th would be a Brewers win. Another pen impersonating the White Sox.

Funny how both Central divisions the owners that are like that. The sad thing the worst cheapass is in the large market. The Reds and Pirates always look competitive until..............the trade deadline.

If the D'Backs fired one of theirs you waste no time getting him. Meanwhile Katz has nine lives.
