This might be the dumbest trade Getz has done yet

This is horrendous. One good trade and two crappy ones.

Chris Getz is bad at this. People mistaken the ability to hire smart people for draft purposes with being good as the sox GM right now.

This guy has gotten taken to the woodshed in almost every deal he's made, and the ones that weren't bad ended up successful because the player put in a s%*# ton of work 2 years after the deal (vargas). Every new move solidifies this for me. He doesn't know how to value MLB talent or assets. Just my opinion of course.

and y'all thought I was wrong when I said to take the keys away from Getz, y'all get it yet?

This trade makes no sense

Vielma putting up .337, .508 obp, .474 SLG on DSL as a 16 year old 2B/3B.

Wow this is odd indeed. I don’t have a problem with trading Adams in general, but backup CF was certainly not what I had in mind. I hope there’s something more behind this that would make it make more sense

Yeah, this trade is completely baffling.

Agreed. He is awful at trading

Wait til you get him outta coors tho, his numbers will skyrocket

A 570 OPS playing in Colorado lol.

Let this sink in all. Getz just gave up a reliever that would have helped this team more for a CF than is worse than the one we already have. The dude couldn’t hit in Coors!

Outside of a deal that seemed tough to f*** up where you have to aim for/have to get multiple team’s top prospects, I have to agree

This “teams don’t get credit when players work hard and player development is fake” is the worst bit on a site that includes Greg. Getz if anything deserves credit for going after players that show they’ll work hard and not make (very good) music videos

You guys are all so whiny.

This is Dominic Fletcher Part 2, but Getz managed to give up even more.

I said it's an overpay, now we're ready for 20 pages of waterworks about a 16-year-old dominican or whatever else.
