Cleveland touches Adell and he saves their lineup. We get geriatric Brazoban and he stubs his toe and cant pitch. 4/5 of our acquisitions arent even on the ALDS roster.Adell/Griffin saved this series for the Guardians.The deadline reminds me of my fantasy football draft. "Barkley is going to bounce back after his down year.. ill draft him over Walker.. oh and ill grab Jayden Daniels after.. heh im so smart". Meanwhile the guy thats going to win the league took Walker and waited on a QB till the ninth round that is performing very well. f***!!!!!

But he really capped this team's playoff potential with his horrid trade deadline. We somehow won 4 playoff games with 1 actual starter. That in itself is almost a miracle. Imagine if we had someone like Tyler Mahle or even Foster Griffin to start a game instead of Luis Castillo's $25 million sitting on the IL because he sucks so bad that they had to fake an injury for him.

Drove me insane.This year’s draft, Walker went one pick earlier, got Omarion Hampton instead.

But that’s why forcing outcomes to placate the public is a bad idea. Getz made a decision at the deadline to live another day for the longer term future rather than force things prematurely. I think he was smart. But it’s a personal preference depending on the goal. Getz had his eyes forward beyond 2026. Obviously if 2026 was your priority, the deadline was a failure.

3 hours ago3 hr I mean Getz did exactly what he wanted to do this season with the roster and the farm with near perfect execution. And he’s on the doorstep of the ALCS with big team over performance for the ages. Fire him? Extend him.
3 hours ago3 hr Jerry isnt going to fire Getz. He got that carret Jerry talks about for second place and also got him playoff games money too. Exactly what Jerry wants.
3 hours ago3 hr Getz is not perfect but people wanting to fire him are crazy. He probably should and will win GM of the year

1 hour ago1 hr Just now, Green Line said:And what about the trade deadlineWhat about it? The trade deadline for buyers is basically the opposite of buy low, sell high. This year's trade deadline was even more of a seller's market. I am fine with Getz not trading our top prospects. Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by Falstaff

1 hour ago1 hr Chris Getz is not a good GM, this isn't even really debatable. That being said, there is zero chance he gets fired after the season we just had and it's an incredibly wild take to even suggest that he should be fired.
1 hour ago1 hr So its not even debateable that he's a bad GM, and its simultaneously a crazy take to want him fired.This is why the Sox have been the worst franchise in sports for 100+ years.
