Though that tells me that Getz doesn't really have nearly as much power for CHANGE as we are being led to believe. I've always called Getz and most front office employees puppets of Puppetmaster Reinsdorf. I have no idea who's been leading you to believe Getz had more power for CHANGE . I think the budget for the roster was drastically cut but CHANGE was allowed for hiring people since civilians cost a lot less than players. There was also the $800K Trajekt Machine. Don't know if they bought just one. Upgrades in R & D but to what extend is hard to know. New DR Academy being built with new Director of International Scouting. Again don't know if that's window dressing or will result in better recruitment of Dominican players . MLB did start this program in 2018 . https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/mlb-starts-trainer-partnership-program-in-latin-america/ Maybe that's made JR less controlling about DR ballplayers but I haven't seen much progress in the 6+ years since that program with Latin America countries to try to lessen steroid use started. We really don't know if our scouting presence or ability to sign better players will increase. Our lack of presence and the 2008 bonus skimming scandal over the last 50 years has cemented the Sox as afterthoughts in the International market outside of Cuban. This could be attributed to JR's friendship with Minnie Minoso. Our one chance at making a difference in the DR came when Paddy signed Tatis, Jr. Edited April 17, 2025Apr 17 by CaliSoxFanViaSWside

April 18, 2025Apr 18 Enough of the Clevinger drama. Just leave it be or donate to Sarah's Inn if you prefer.

If he rejects, it's usually reported as cleared wiavers and elected free agency. Unfortunately for us, no one else wants his sorry ass so he chose to stay in the org.
April 18, 2025Apr 18 Holy f*** get rid of this guy. Just bring up Fletcher. Or let the injured outfielder play. They'd still be better.

April 19, 2025Apr 19 Now he is being stretched out as a starter. This guy is like a genital wart on this organization that refuses to go away. We'll totally gonna see this idiot back here later in the year.
