August 1, 20241 yr Getting out of anything more than a prorated minimum salary of that contract is a W.
August 2, 20241 yr Id give Eloy maybe 2 weeks tops on that roster before he’s DFA. They have better options and won’t have nearly the patience the Sox had with his shenanigans.

So they got out of some of Eloy’s remaining salary for this year and also his $3 million dollar buyout? This trade, the Tanner Banks trade, and the Robbie Grossman trade are Getz’s only unquestionably good trades. Edited August 2, 20241 yr by WhiteSox2023

They have better options and won’t have nearly the patience the Sox had with his shenanigans. They actually sent Heston Kjerstad and his .790 OPS down to get Eloy on the roster. Apparently, the Orioles don’t realize that Eloy’s career OPS is .790 and he hasn’t put up an OPS higher than that since 2022.

Fedde should get a start soon too The most hilarious thing about Pham is that he played 38 games in RF and 30 games in CF for the Sox. Meanwhile, the Cardinals have started Pham at DH and now LF tonight. The Sox literally have not cared about outfield defense for decades. It’s embarrassing. Edited August 2, 20241 yr by WhiteSox2023

They will eventually call back up Kjerstad whom they sent down for Eloy initially. Edited August 2, 20241 yr by WhiteSox2023

August 2, 20241 yr 1 minute ago, Autumn Dreamin said: Sounds like his ABs will be intermittent to start. Jesus, I realize that the Sox called Eloy back up too early while he was still hurt to try to get some sort of trade value out of him prior to the deadline, but how long does it take this walking disease to heal?
August 2, 20241 yr 28 minutes ago, southsider2k5 said: So the Sox rushed him back, and then crapped on him for being lazy. This is the same thing they are doing to Yoan. Eloy is in fact... lazy. Doesn't matter if they rushed him back or not, he never puts in the damn work to stay on the field.

This trade, the Tanner Banks trade, and the Robbie Grossman trade are Getz’s only unquestionably good trades. Eloy's 2024 salary is around $14M, so figure between 1/2 to 1/3 of that remained, plus the $3M buyout. Maybe they saved $4-5M?
August 2, 20241 yr 34 minutes ago, southsider2k5 said: So the Sox rushed him back, and then crapped on him for being lazy. This is the same thing they are doing to Yoan. They are lazy though. There is no rushing someone back when they are constantly hurt anyways.

So we’re down to Os eating like $1.9M. Edited August 2, 20241 yr by ChiSox59
August 2, 20241 yr With Eloy getting traded James Kruk's workload just decreased 25%. Going forward the in house " Little Rascal " scooters are strictly for JR and the rest of the Board of Directors. Chris Getz, " The trade allowed us to allocate more funds for acquiring players instead of updating our batteries in our scooter fleet."

Pham has already produced more for them than Edman did all year ( which was nothing ). The pitcher Baltimore traded for instead of Fedde ,Trevor Rogers got lit up by the Guardians.
