Fajardo facing Kanny.  His numbers look damn good.

I wish Getz would try to explain why he did this.

I see that Wolkow is 4 for 4, all K's.

About a month ago I heard some guy on MLBN say that if a guy has a severe strikeout problem in the minors, he hardly ever would stick as a major leaguer. Paraphrasing. I tried to come up with an exception to that.  I'm sure there are a few.

A tale as old as time.

Of all of Getz's moves that I've questioned, this is the one that I have least understood from the start.

I was completely checked out for 1-2 years so I had no idea what this was in reference to. What the f*** was the point of this trade when you are an all-time bad team?  The guys numbers were pretty solid for a 17 year old. This feels like a dumb move that could become Tatis Jr-esque. Obviously very unlikely, but it just feels unbelievably stupid.

Didn't want to pay going market rates for a legit LH in the pen.

All those guys like Bummer Hill and Banks were traded away...surely I'm leaving out another five lefties we'very gone through, DFA's or small trades.

Red Sox GM > Getz.

I mean think he looked at what relievers were getting at the deadline and thought I can do that.  The problem was 100% targeting an unproven 32 year old who hadn't got to his second full season for a kid who should be exactly the type of player we should be targeting. Just sign a free agent flip reliever like everyone else.
