Nice of the White Sox to let the Dodgers have the Ohtani spotlight for a bit before they dropped this bombshell transaction.

@Bob Sacamano - I called it!

Who was it yesterday that was talking about how smart the Braves are and how they're going to stick someone else with Stassi's contract? Kudos.

Just didn't expect it to be us.

Minor league deal or 40 man?

Better than Salvy. Thankfully I feel like that rumor can be put to bed.

This ought to lessen the sting of losing out on Ohtani.

(I have never heard of this guy.  Maybe he’s good.  Doubtful.)

7 mil for 2024 and a 500k buy out for 2025 for a catcher who his .190 in 2022 and didn’t play due to injury and family matters in 2023….yay

You could see this move coming a million miles away.  AA is fucking feasting left & right on premium talent while Getz is pouncing on the has-been scraps falling off AA’s table.  Jerry Reinsdorf isn’t a serious owner and the Sox aren’t a serious baseball organization.

He’s definitely a 40 man spot. Is owed 7 mil this season w a 500k buy out for 2025

Salvy wasn’t in our “means” most likely, but yes, at least he’s not an option now.

What a joke

Meh never say never with these clowns….

If we can take on money, why couldn’t we have tried to do the Kelenic deal ?

I knew someone did. I came in threads to find out who. What thread was that prediction in ?

I’m sure the Braves are eating $3M or $4M of this.

Just for the record, I don’t necessarily hate this move in isolation (depending on the cash coming back).  I just hate that a team was selling a young player for bad money and we could have executed something like this ourselves with some balls and little bit of cash, but instead it’s the loser the franchises like us, the Pirates, & Angels helping the elite Braves accomplish that.

I doubt we are paying full value here. 

An early April Fools joke, right?

The Kelenic thread

He's excellent defensively.

Getz is taking a victory lap.
