January 20, 20251 yr Damn. That likely eliminates the Blue Jays as a potential trade partner for Robert.

Why, Santander is a corner outfielder and eventually 1B/DH? They still want Alonso and they only have Guerrero Jr. until the end of 2025, for example. Spring er isn't even a true CFer anymore...but they do have Varsho and are unlikely to over value Robert at this point.

He's virtually unplayable. https://www.newsweek.com/sports/mlb/could-dodgers-enter-potential-427-million-vladimir-guerrero-jr-sweepstakes-2007984 Will the Dodgers enter $427 million Guerrero Jr. or the lesser Bichette sweepstakes???
January 20, 20251 yr https://www.bluebirdbanter.com/2025/1/20/24347931/report-jays-sign-anthony-santander Jays' fans are not happy at all about this one. Consolation prize. Went from 3/$82 to 5/$92...their own version of Benintendi. Can't understand Straw (seriously jumping the gun) and why they essentially snapped out the much cheaper Horwitz for the MUCH more expensive Gimenez. Everyone in baseball expects these last three years on the deal to be pretty miserable. No hindsight needed or required. Edited January 20, 20251 yr by caulfield12
January 20, 20251 yr I realize that Getz was not going to sign Santander or anybody else worth having. Still. I can't help but wonder, who is going to be the White Sox DH in 2025?

When the Sox start to concern themselves about being in the entertainment business...so probably 2027 at the rate they're currently plodding along at. Because you simply can't expect rookie pitcher not named Skenes Strasburg or Sasaki to lead a rotation in 2026. In Getz's idea...it would be unfair to do any evaluation of his GM tense until we are a full four years in.

There's a decent chance baseball will not be played in 2027 due to owners trying yet again to get a salary cap instituted. The Sox will still be awful so unlike 1981 or 1994 or 2020 it won't matter.

You can play the "everybody on the Sox will always suck" game, if you want. I was answering your fear that the Sox might be relying on an untested rookie to lead the staff in 26. One of those 4 pitchers is going to acquit themselves during the 25 season.

Based on Sox history, it will probably be Bryse Wilson.

I guess...but it's not unlike the Cubs' situation with Tucker. If he leaves the Cubs in free agency and Guerrero, Jr./Bichette both leave Toronto, they're just stuck with bad contracts for Gimenez Straw Santander.

That's a very valid point, but there are always die-hards (think JR in the past) that were willing to shut everything down in order to somehow break the union. Also I'm guessing as they get closer the owners, like past times, will take out strike insurance that will help somewhat to off set losses.
