April 18, 20241 yr Grade-2 hip flexor ... the latest in a 'strain' of avoidable injuries due to poor training staff preparedness and general player apathy. Totally avoidable injury. Regardless of the injury, getting rid of him now is not selling low. Owed $8.33 this year and next, club option for $20 for 2026/27 My view -- rip the bandaid off and get what you can. Others?
April 18, 20241 yr Get him back in a month or so and hopes he balls out the rest of the way. You then start exploring his value in the offseason, but only move him if you get a monster offer.
April 18, 20241 yr at this point hope you can string together a couple nice seasons and help the team. they are god awful enough to watch already, moving on from him completely for a whelming return would be dumb at this point. They should have done a full rebuild last off-season but I think Getz was fully overwhelmed and delusional.

Bbbbbutt, they hired Getz because they couldn’t waste a season with a new guy getting to know the organization. Of course you’re right. Getz is in over his head more than Hahn ever was and is at the same depth as Grifol.

He has so much control left. Edited April 18, 20241 yr by PaleAleSox

April 18, 20241 yr I don’t give a s%*# what anyone says…LuBob has always been, and will always be a cool nickname for Luis Robert. It’s fun.
April 18, 20241 yr should've traded him in 2023, huge missed opportunity there. if anyone could prognosticate this kids health, it would've been his current team and yet they still felt that he wouldn't get hurt again, what a massive failure, sox fans really don't deserve this s%*#

Well, his value is undoubtedly less now than it was a couple months ago even if we accepted an “underwhelming” package.

Getz would have traded him to the Marlins for a package built around Noble Meyer, Victor Mesa Jr., and Andrew Nardi

If they’re lucky, maybe they’re competitive in the final year of his contract. And that’s a big maybe.

April 18, 20241 yr If he is traded, Getz needs to lean on getting position players. We seem VERY light on future players there.

Last year was the outlier. He got hurt all the time in the minors and in the majors. It was indeed a massive failure not to sell once he managed to play a full season.
April 18, 20241 yr 2 hours ago, The Grinder said: Knowing the competency of Getz, he prob be traded for "future considerations" You don't think it'd be "cash considerations?"
April 18, 20241 yr Trade him at the first chance where you can receive decent value, like Moncada and Eloy he is injury prone and can’t be counted on. The trouble is what is considered decent value with his history of injuries, my feeling if you could get 2 steady position players who produce around .750 OPS yearly, make the trade.

April 18, 20241 yr If you could package Robert, a starting pitcher, and a bullpen arm to a contender in July, it could potentially bring a great haul. You always have to see what teams are willing to give up.
