We traded him for Cam Booser right? Wonder what Getz thought process was with that one.

Getz hasn’t made a bad trade according to some around here.

Same, but I also remember prospect hugging dooming the Orioles. Who can forget the O's "friends" that we had?

My favorite or actually least favorite "guest friend" on this site was that Astros fan that hung out for the last playoff series we were in. I remember finally breaking down when he was helpfully giving us an injury update of someone on Houston and I posted ",WILL YOU JUST GET THE FRIG OUTTA HERE".....but I didn't say frig.

That trade sucked…no doubt it

But then again, Getz was also one trade away from a pimp ass cheap ass outfield. Mena for Jake McCarthy instead of Fletcher, along with the Tristan Peters pickup. Guy was one failed trade away from building one of the best cheapest outfields in Sox history — Antonacci, Peters, and McCarthy. Three outfielders all around ~.800 OPS making trash money.

Unless it's the one piece to put you over the top for a true WS contender.

Sox still need catcher 1-2 SP and 1-2 relievers.

Ok so tell me which one? With Austin Hays and Everson Pereira both due to be off the IL, Perez will go away. Both have no options left. Who stays and who gets traded or waived. Who is the keeper right now. Which one?

I’d keep Pereira and trade Hays.

2024 was the Orioles 101-win, divisional champion season. They were already at the top of the win curve. They needed dominant starting pitching to get further in the playoffs. Over two post-seasons, they went 0-5. They were arguably in their window.

2024 was the year for the Orioles to pull the trigger. I think that year is next year for the White Sox.

This caught my attention, holy cow what a stacked lineup.

I want Shea Langoliers and I'm willing to trade Teel as part of a package for him

I doubt you could use him as the main piece with all these injuries, but Shea has 3 more full seasons of cheap control so you're getting a beast that's locked up for a few more years

question is, do you give up legit pieces like Teel or Bonemer for a legit catcher or do you go after a SP

Probably SP, but man I want Langoliers on this team

I think the Phillies need a RF; Derek Hill has been doing a good job but flipping Hays or Pereira might be an option.

The Phillies have painful experience with "acquire Austin Hays at the trade deadline" in 2024 (in fact, they traded Seranthony Dominguez to the Orioles for Hays); he was oft-injured and gave them -0.4 WAR in 22 games.

As for Pereira, they already have outfielders that can hit .230 - I don't see that meeting their needs for an upgrade. Perhaps he'd have more value if he produces for awhile at the Major League level first.
