February 11, 20251 yr Yeah, I'd have to say I'm with WS23 here. Looking back on all the position players moved at the deadline, there's not a lot of pizzazz moving one way, or the other. I mean, maybe Getz could be trying to recreate trading up on a paper clip to a house, but there's no number of william bergollas that leap the stream to a top 20 prospect.

Just like when you kept harping that the Sox would get more for Crochet in a trade if they provided a window for a contract extension, even though he was already under contract for two more years. Yeah, that obviously never happened. So because I think outside the box makes me wrong ? I suggested that as a possibility in case Crochet and his rep were seeking an extension right away. I always knew the odds of that happening weren't good. Harped on it ? Nope. And yes I was right about my thoughts that neither Crochet or Robert were going to be traded at the deadline and that was before the Crochet extension controversy. The whole reason Crochet's team did that was to protect Crochet's arm because he loved his routine the Sox developed for him and did not want to be used by a new team willy nilly . It only follows that if they were willing to prefer staying with the Sox to ensure they continue his routine and don't want to pitch in the postseason at random intervals without an extension ,that they might also seek an extension right away after or before he was traded. No it didn't happen that way but it's strange that mentioning it as a possibility and using creative thought is so foreign and wrong to you. I guess you prefer group think and wolf pack attack mode.
