I wanted to stomp on your argument, but I'd have to push you off of stomping on your own argument to get a chance. No simply providing a list of those players traded at the deadline. Even the top four (if they were actually on the same team) for Robert wouldn't have been enough. Manzardo is a decent/average 1B but hardly a star or guy you give an early contract extension to.

It's become a meme that Getz is dumb for not trading Robert at the end of 2023. That's hindsight. We now know his production was going to fall off the table. We now know 2023 wasn't the year he magically became healthy to play 145 games a season. Yes, in hindsight, we know that the 2023 off-season would have been the perfect time to trade him. Hell, with this crystal-clear hindsight we possess, why not say that the Sox should have had a fire-sale right after the 2021 season? Moncada just put up a 4-bWAR season. They would have gotten a haul for him.

It has also become a meme that Chris Getz knew the entire organization was going to fall apart because he was left such a horrible, horrible mess that he couldn't have possibly done better than the worst team in the history of baseball, so in that world, why keep Luis Robert vs trading him after his amazing breakout year?

Probably because the whole front office was stunned by the fact that the Sox didn't trade Luis Robert after the 2021 off-season, which everyone knows is when he should have been traded.
