Mena has like a 1.6 WHIP in AAA. Not saying I support the trade necessarily, but he’s very likely JAG.

And I’m saying it’s a rumor created by white Sox fans who love to predict the sky is falling. What notable source has actually said the Sox are trying to attach Beni to Crochet? I’m sure it’s been discussed because I’m sure someone like LAD would love to do that, but that doesn’t mean the Sox are actually entertaining it.

Because they absolutely need to maximize the talent infusion from the Crochet trade. Not save $16M a year on an already super duper low amount of future commitments. I get you hate everything white Sox and love to predict doom and gloom, but this just seems so terribly unlikely and Sox fans just assuming the worst.

This isnt even worth discussing guys. Classic chicken little bs

It would be such a bad decision it’s hard to really take it seriously. I’m sure it’s just Sox fans assuming the worst. But hey, I guess never say never, this is the White Sox.

I also can’t possibly fathom the Sox attaching Beni with crochet. Wouldn’t be surprised if another team floated it as everyone knows the Sox would love to dump Beni. But it’s beyond obvious that the Sox need to maximize the talent infusion with Crochet / Robert. It’s hard to doubt the Sox making a dumb decision at this point, but I just can’t buy that one.

This doesn’t make much sense. Even with an extension, Crochet would still be very cheap in 25-26.

Maybe a reporter that covers this team for a living could actually ask the tough question.

Getz decision making in letting his 2 SPs start has aged like blue cheese in the sun. So fucking stupid.

It’s an honest question. It’s kind of part of the job. I know he’s done a couple of them, but nothing recently that I’ve seen covered. Hahn’s used to be findable on YouTube day of, and he did them at the beginning of most homestands.

How come Getz doesn’t do a media scrum at the beginning of most homestand like Hahn did? Or does he and the media just doesn’t share anything from it because interest is so low?

That says more about the players than anything. This roster is going to turn over so much between today and next April I’m not too concerned about that tbh. That said, AJ would probably be towards the bottom of my top 10 (realistic) candidates. But when you drive a 95 Ford Aspire, a 2010 Camry is a hell of an improvement.

May as well just let Crochet shove if you’re gonna let him pitch at all.

Pretty confident neither of those guys are going anywhere this TDL. Crochet I guess I could see, but just can’t see it with Robert at this point.

Fire Pedro. Let Sizemore manage rest of season. Keep him on as AJs bench coach, and build a a coaching staff of young respectable guys and try to build an actual culture.

At least AJ won’t deal with lazy bullshit.

I’m with ya. I would have started moving the lower value guys right after the ASB.

Truthfully, I always find myself scratching my head a bit when when I hear AJ talk about in game strategies and roster management while calling games or in bits of his podcast I see on Twitter. Maybe that would make him a good manager because he seems to think a bit outside of the box, but I’ve definitely noticed it time and time again. I think I’d like his fire, but I’d prefer someone with some actual managerial experience. But honestly, anyone is an upgrade form Pedro.

I doubt he’s removing they from the equation. He’s probably just asking for a premium, which for the time being is fine. If it ends on Tue without Fedde being traded, we can reevaluate. But it sure would be nice if he’d start to move the guys in the Pham, DeJong, Lopez, Kopech, Brebbia, Flexen, Banks group.

I know this start isn’t going to change the return on Fedde, but just such a dumb way to handle the situation all around.

No and Crochet won’t either

Getz is nuts for running Fedde out there. Absolutely nothing to gain

Sounds like Yanks getting Fairbanks too. Good to see the Yanks and Red Sox being active…0
