What are we doing here? Maybe Harold is a "double agent" working for the Dodgers secretly while getting paid by Getz lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least, get someone back from LA that can play a credible CF....probably Outman, since they won't as easily give up Pages. Robert for Outman would be the worst trade in Getz’s career by far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirmin' for Yermin Posted December 24, 2024 Share Posted December 24, 2024 I’ll take Outman as a #2 piece… but I’d need one of their backend 100 guys to headline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted December 24, 2024 Share Posted December 24, 2024 This team is so far away I don't know if a 28 year old with 1 productive season and serious hit tool questions is worth prioritizing in a trade. I'd rather roll the dice on a 45/50 FV prospect than Outman, personally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted December 24, 2024 Share Posted December 24, 2024 They won’t be interested in Lux or Outman… unless the new shiny player development folk believe they can turn them both around… maximize their tools… and then have two high performing assets to trade instead of one. Fat chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted December 24, 2024 Share Posted December 24, 2024 The most recent podcast with Garfien explicitly stated that Boston’s existing MLB talent like Abreu was never even a consideration. We’re not even to Christmas yet and we’re already out of things to talk about… Our toxic collective addiction to this team drives endlessly discussing pointless drivel. My name is Trevor and I am a Soxtalk Addict. Where’s the inpatient clinic and residential detox program? TLDR: poop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Miguel Vargas. “Fat chance” clearly implies that even this bottom of the barrel organization will not dig deeper to this level of incompetent “logic”. Soxtalk needs to turn into Around the Horn until at least Spring Training… otherwise we’re going to continue blabbering on about complete horseshit. I clearly am in a wonderful mood. Horary!

Go get Arroyo....eat 5m of Robert's salary to enhance the return....that will still result in a net savings of 10m for Jerry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Apparently, the Reds were talking Robert trade up until they signed Hays. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6098787/2025/01/30/reds-white-sox-luis-robert-pujols/?source=user_shared_article Quote The teams could not find a middle ground on players or dollars, prompting the Reds to turn to Hays on a one-year, $5 million contract, pending a physical, according to sources briefed on the discussions. The teams did not resolve how much of Robert’s salary the White Sox would have paid, sources said. Reds infield prospect Edwin Arroyo, who missed all of last season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder, was one player under discussion. But ultimately, the Reds could not get comfortable with the total cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess you don't have much faith that he'll have a strong , healthy 1st half. I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking that way. He's been consistently injured and may have caught whatever it was that led to the Great Demise that plagued Anderson, Jimenez, Moncada, Benintendi, and Vaughn ( not that he was actually ever any good ). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they were targeting exactly who many of us were hoping for so that's good. It's frustrating that they are hung up on eating money when payroll is only in the 60 millions or so. Fucking Jerry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
