Add me to the people who don’t stand this move at all!

This actually makes more sense to me...

Outside of the hilarious jokes I don't really understand why anyone would be upset by this. Teel and Quero are the main guys. It'll be alright.

Lol come on… They get off on being upset. These are the same people who said it was a fireable offense to trade Luis Rodriguez for Corey Julks.

WTF?

I don’t understand this move unless Getz thinks he can get something decent in return for Lee in a trade. McGuire isn’t a bad backup and he hit a lot of bombs for the Cubs last year in minimal at bats but I’d still rather have Lee. Lee also didn’t beat his meat in a parking lot. 🤣

minor league filler?

Nope, it’s a major league guaranteed deal for $1.2 million.

Sun Times story explains why the move was made, apparently Lee's defense was (is) the issue:

Trading any young prospect for AAA fodder like Julks is always a bad move. Julks is a guy you sign to a minor league contract or claim off waivers for free, not give up any level of talent for. It was a bad trade. Almost as bad as Fajardo for Booser.

He’s out of options so something has to be done with him. I’m sure they were just kind of taking time through spring to see where they were at. Once Teel got hurt and was going to miss some time, it then seems like they’ll have shifted to Edgar catching most of the time now. Lee is probably good enough that you can get something through a trade for him so do that and then McGuire helps out until Teel is ready then figure out what to do with him when Teel is back. If that’s the thinking then I understand it.

He can lend a helping hand.

This tweet is pretty good…

Next, they're going to add Teel's reputation for walking around clubhouse buck naked.

Reese McGuire, the same guy who.........

I wonder what his agent said to Getz.

He used the ol' Jedi Mind Trick?

I recall McGuire being mainly all glove and not really good with his stick.

That’s correct, but occasionally he can nut one out.

I really liked masturbating but I thought Korey Lee was doing alrigiht.

If he bats good though do we have to rethinkg our approach on masturbating? I will be masturbating in the parking lot regardless but if he hits a grandslam opening day then who's going to join me?

Yeah the reaction has been puzzling for sure

Well, its a real head scratcher, but when all the angst is over? McQuire or Lee? Does it really matter?

Its less about the who, and more about the why. An organization that cried over a similar amount it would take to replace Beni as the reason to keep him, just goes out and wastes the same amount for something they ALREADY had a solution for.

They already had Lee who is significantly younger and has had a much better spring. I just don’t understand why they would push him to the side to give McGuire a guaranteed contract. That said, ideally neither will play that much so it doesn’t really matter.

I tend to agree with you. However, Lip posted an article that said Sox management is not a fan of Lee’s defense and that McGuire’s lefty bat better complements Quero’s strong-side righty bat.
