WhiteSox2023 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 (edited) Getz signs bunch of veterans in the offseason. The rationale is so he can give the younger players time to marinate in the minors. The Sox have a record poor start to the season. Getz freaks out and calls up young prospects that struggle. He also signs more veterans and cuts several young players from the 40-man roster to make room for these veterans. Getz is a terrible GM.

Quin Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Ok, I can't remember. Was Matthew Thompson on the 40-man roster? Cause if not, it means we ultimately gave up a starting pitching prospect — who is of course now putting up better numbers with the Cubs AA team (yes, SSS) — for cash. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We turned Matt Thompson into cash considerations. Chris Getz is the poster child for failing upwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause if not, it means we ultimately gave up a starting pitching prospect — who is of course now putting up better numbers with the Cubs AA team (yes, SSS) — for cash. No, he was not. So basically Getz made trades of prospects for older players, which also caused him to lose 40-man roster flexibility, which ultimately forced him to DFA or trade younger players for cash to make room for more veterans. I don’t see how anyone could defend how Getz has managed the 40-man roster at this point. It’s been a clusterfuck of stupid decisions.

TaylorStSox Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) Damn, Getz just let a 26 year old who's like the 38th ranked prospect in the Sox system walk for nothing? I'm so mad I don't know what to do. 😂 Career ERA 4.6. 2024 WHIP 2.32 Edited May 1 by TaylorStSox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a surprise he is doing better with the Cubs, who have better minor league instructors than the Sox? Getz essentially turned Christian Mena and Matthew Thompson into Dominic Fletcher and cash. Where is Fletcher right now? Oh yeah, he was so bad he had to be sent to the minors. Getz is a bad GM.
