El Kabong is gone

Every article that I have read about this trade says that the return was just not enough, especially in a sellers market.

I had avoided looking at any Getz quotes about the trade until now. He really thinks he did a great job added offensive talent via this trade, doesn't he? Unbelievable.

If as has been suggested by some that this existence is just a computer simulation, as a Sox fan I have a question for our AI overlords.....what the f*** did I ever do to you??!!??

What in the hell is this bs that Brebbia has been pitching well lately!! Back away from the friggin peripherals people. And to the Mets.....YES, PLEASE TAKE HIM

That is a spot on analogy. She is fun to watch bowl over people and then just go!!!

Shout out to the Soxtalker who once told me about stopping at the side of road with his wife at "barrel o chicken" who said it was the best chicken he ever had in his life....I do not remember who that was but I loved the story especially since I think he said it was while on his honeymoon.

I think I need to stay off Soxtalk for the rest of the day since most likely any return will just depress me and ruin the rest of my Tuesday.....see y'all later this morning.

No gloating allowed until 2026, sir....but your prediction has been filed in the archives.

That's the spirit....I'll just put you down on the petition.

Just looked at the box score. Is the hold the most useless baseball stat ever? Wilson got his 9th hold of the season for that effort. I offer up for consideration a new pitching stat....the try....if the official scorer deems they put in the effort a pitcher will be given a try.

Shhhh....noone did.....this gamethread is all AI generated.

I could be wrong but I think that is the 423rd time this season the Sox have led after the 7th and lost the lead.

I sure wish @Chicago White Soxwas right and there actually was a trade market for Brebbia.

When someone gets a chance, let me know who actually came over for Kopech.....I'm trying to calculate if we won that Sale trade.

Yes...that is Captain Panic's evil twin.

So as I see it, Getz thought the closer we got to the trade deadline, the more he'd get. Meanwhile, the other GMs knew if they waited he would give in. Alternatively, this is the return Getz wanted and that seems worse.

To be honest, I just skimmed it because it was depressing....I think they made fun of Getz though, which is nice.

Article on CBS Sports has graded the trade: Cardinals...A Dodgers....A White Sox...D

It said 5 years on the MLB Trade Rumors article

Did Getz actually target the players he acquired or just get what he could??

I just read the White Sox analysis of the deal on MLB Trade Rumors and I am honestly feeling a little ill. Getz has absolutely no business evaluating baseball talent imo....he thought this year's team was going to play solid defense for crying out loud.

We have a Touki sighting...excellent. He started every game I attended in person last season. They did lose them all, but who's counting.

s%*#, they should let you pitch or DH a game.
