Omar has self-yeeted himself from the White Sox and declared free agency instead of going back to the minors.

I mean, it makes sense.

Narvaez back to Charlotte.

Getz always assembles the biggest roster of players that no other team wants.

Well free agency doesn't typically go well when you are washed up.

The Cubs DFAed Gage Workman. Wonder if the Sox would just swap him out for Amaya. Workman's a good-glove SS, looks like he'd hit better than Amaya.

I’m also in favor of this for the left-handed, raw power bat. Would be weird having 3 Rule 5 guys on the roster but we’re in a position where that’s fine.

Workman is mostly a 3b. I mean, I am all in favor of all Rule 5 draft team, but I doubt the Sox give Vargas’s at bats to Workman.

He can play infield and outfield.

Fangraphs says he's an "above-average" SS. If they're going to roster Amaya as long as possible, why not try to get this guy past 90 days on the big league roster, then whether through phantom injury shenanigans, or whatnot, they can option him next year and bring him along.

I thought he was more of a 3B as well.  Would the same Rule 5 requirements apply to the Sox having to keep him on the roster for long enough to retain his rights?

When Nick Maton is your DH, AB's aren't in short supply.

Isn't that the truth. Not just Getz though, Hahn had a revolving door of players no other team cared for.

Yes. I don't know if the time the Cubs had him in the majors would apply to the Sox, now.

Honestly, if you're gonna be bad, get weird with it. This would make them somewhat more interesting to watch.

That’s actually Getz getting on the bus for GM school.

Anybody could hit better than Amaya, he’s at .087, bring up Montgomery and throw him out there everyday and let him sink or swim. We can’t do worse with this 5-19 juggernaut.

Face it, Montgomery and Ramos, both of whom had long standing high prospect status, blew it this month.  Both could have been starting in Chicago if they could hit a little bit. They're not even prospects any more.

Ramos just started playing like a week ago.

Idk man, 25 at-bats seems like a large enough sample size to make a rational take.
