Starting to feel like this is some elaborate long con to make White Sox fans feel bad for being mean about LaRussa or something.

A MiLB reliever?  NO WAY!

 

A 22 year old A ball pitcher with 39 good innings to his name.  Not sure what else could be expected for DeBong.  Good thing they showcased him at 3B.  ?

22 year old righty reliever dominating low-A. Okay, whatever

Getz got a better return for the rotting corpse of Robbie Grossman.

Any chance we get the rights to Bruce Chen in this deal??

Now that's a name i've not heard for a long time... a long time...

Hard to feel like it's anything else honestly.

Cy Chen?  Hawk’s favorite soft-tossing lefty.

Meh. Not bad value for a guy who won't get close to 1 WAR for the year. There's a possibility Rosado ends up in the Sox bullpen in a couple years.

Yeah it's hard for me to criticize honestly, I don't think DeJong had much value at all so just getting anyone who is not going to be imminently released for poor performance is fine with me.

If you are going to be mad about what the return was for Dejong then I think you need to go take a walk around the block and clear your head. 

We made a classic mistake by actually playing him thus devaluating his return. If we're learned anything recently from the St Louis Cardinals is you don't play your players to maximize their return.

Always kicked the Sox ass while sucking ass against everyone else.

My expectations were low, but holy f***. A minor league RELIEVER? We couldn't even get a real prospect?

Showing our age, I guess.

No. In what world are you getting a real prospect for Paul Dejong? Why would you even think that's possible?

After the media hyped up the Sox as a team with several trade assets to deal at the deadline, Getz is going to come away with one mediocre bat with no glove to plug into the lineup.  Hilarious.

This is good. Getting any warm body that doesn't look worthless is a massive win here

Is anyone really mad, though? DeJong is completely inconsequential.

Not only that but 50 games of Paul DeJong. This is nothing for nothing, although Schriffen will be upset. he thought DeJong had Ohtani power.

Someone has to pitch next year....in Kannapolis

I had extremely low expectations for the return here. We somehow came in lower with a 22 year reliever in low A lol

I’m all for trashing the Sox/Getz…but a DeJong trade isn’t a valid reason for it. Any warm body for DeJong is sufficient value
