I'm hoping this is just midday gamesmanship and then Getz presents his true fallback demand in the afternoon. Get your LH bat and your CF project. This isn't that hard.

LittleHurtCG Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 32 minutes ago, southsider2k5 said: The Sox inability to develop guys doesn't necessarily mean they were trading for bad players. It could just mean that our player development was garbage. It could also be both of those things. That is how you end up with the worse season in MLB history.

Kwan >>>>> DeVries DeVries isn't a crazy as at all. Kwan has been a 4.5+ player consistently per 162. They would need to add something else to DeVries.

DirtySox Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Oh no. Chris Getz maybe asked for a desirable target in trade negotiations. It's truly unfortunate dialogue ends completely after one player is inquired about. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autumn Dreamin Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 9 minutes ago, Quin said: I mean, Healey is an actual reporter. But his phrasing makes it sound like he's not actually "reporting" that firsthand. Seems more like an "if this is true" than an "I can confirm" framing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 34 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: There are definitely enough FA this off-season to make this club competitive next year. Competitive meaning... I don't have to watch everyone here celebrate Chris Getz "turning the organization around" while the White Sox are fucking 40-69. I feel like I'm going crazy reading the optimism here lately. It truly proves Jerry's thought that if you set the bar in a certain place, you can trick fans. No reason this team can't sign 5 guys and turn this into a team trying to hover near 500 and maybe surprise someone. Every bad team has good stretches though. Do you boo the coaches for being optimistic ? Are we all supposed to be the same personalities of doom and gloom ? Should we all apologize for liking the rookies playing well ? Did you throw ups reading how thrilled people were yesterday in the game thread against the Phillies ? Is kind of sad all the doom and gloomers find it so hard to compliment positive things but find it so easy to rip things apart. Heck the Pope would lambasted here for being too Holy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get your best bats in the up on a daily basis. Plus this allows for whoever plays 1B to go to C in case of emergency without costing us a DH. Obviously you don’t want to lose your DH, but (especially with the roster we have now), you ought to be able to play old-school NL ball and do double switches to avoid the pitcher batting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rey21 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Saw someone on X bring up the Sox picking up Kimbrel's option to just trade him not long after that, if the Sox are willing to eat some money too, that could be very enticing to a lot of teams if he stays healthy and has a strong 2nd half.
