Also looks like the Sox need to send just a few more scouts to Curacao.

See the long line of relatives…(Profar also had PEDs concerns around him due to trainers)

Acuna brother

Tatis brother

Guerrero Jr. cousin

Juan Uribe’s son

Hoping for a lot more out of Landon Thome lol

And that’s why Marco Paddy is now with Salesforce, which I guess is still better than WeWork

It's still dumb as hell. Why are we trading for a supposed 33 year old "project" who was one of the worst pitchers in the MLB when we are trying to make a playoff run? It doesn't help up this year and probably hurts is next year given his salary. Trying to justify the trade is pure cope. Getz got too cute and got taken advantage of.

You guys have said this about every single trade the guy has made. I'd guess every convo started with "Caleb Bonemer plus...". I appreciate that you're mad about Castillo sucking. Nobody's trying to "justify" this trade to you. But you don't seem to grasp what has been explained multiple times.

Don’t look now but Mason Adams just had another solid start against a good team in the Braves on the road. Perhaps Getz didn’t need to give up anyone of value for a viable starting pitcher for the rest of this season and the future.

Chris Getz did such a good job developing prospects, even the scrubs he trades will be aces on other teams. You better get used to it. Weird that through all the arguments in 2024 nobody was exclaiming, "Getz didn't deserve to be made GM. He never developed anyone....except that Mason Adams. That 14th round pick is going to be something!!!"

A part of being a good GM is not only knowing what MLB players to trade for but also which prospects you shouldn’t give up.

I also never called Adams an ace, but being better than Castillo right now wouldn’t be difficult and that is now two good starts in a row for Adams. I said he would look like an ace compared to Castillo’s starts with the Sox.

When you've developed all of them to be All-Stars, it doesn't matter. I join you in thanking Chris Getz in being so great at his job.

Get back to me when Castillo has his second good start.

Why hasn't JR given him an extension yet?

Did you also thank the Bears' front office?

Get back to me when you're ready to admit the White Sox developed dudes that you stroke it out the window to their first two starts with another team.

The only one that be “STROKIN” is you to the poster of Getz on the ceiling above your bed.

Out the window?

Defenestration?

If those were Sox starts he'd be in the Second Half HOF compared to Castillo's/(aka Shields') 9.31 more serviceable ERA.
