Literally, no one will say we should have done that.

Even if I don’t like the move, I can usually understand the thinking behind it. It usually at least makes some sense. I just don’t see it here. I’m confused more than anything.

The whiniest among us will make up hypothetical bullshit to excuse an awful trade by Getz. You know, a trade that he actually made in real life and not in your fantasy land.

and once again Sox influencer/nepo twitter defending this s%*# just like the castillo trade

Are we sure that Getz knows he hits righty?

Fair question

No, he thinks he’s a switch hitter again.

Other teams are trading their 20th+ prospects and here we are trading guys who could be top 10 in a pretty good system

Like I said earlier, after 8 or so, the system is as bad as any

Maybe Peters got injured on the plane

It’s just a really bad trade when you can’t even be confident that the player you got back will help the team more for even this year than the prospect you traded. Just an awful use of resources.

Rockies don't need Doyle, so trade him to White Sox. Can't wait for 6 pm Eastern.

Or more than the handful of guys he will replace

This trade mystifies me. I get moving Adams. He was about to be a 40 man casualty anyway. I just don't understand why they'd want Doyle of all people. In Fuller We Trust, I guess?

Some people were worried about trading the strikeout king Wolkow. I would have preferred to trade him all day over Adams.

Can't wait to see Adams go from saving the rotation to middling guy who is easily replaceable.

He might be selling insurance in a couple years after pitching in Coors Field.

I guess Doyle has options? So he might go down and work on things

Maybe Peters slipped in the shower and broke a toe or something? This just doesn’t make sense, even with Peters’ decline. His decline still isn’t as bad as Doyle’s past two seasons. Brutal.

No they won't.

George shouldn’t get comfortable

I mean with his TJS and all, he's a dude who wasn't really going to do anything until next year at the soonest. I get dealing him now, I just don't get THIS being the deal for him.

This is just stupid.

Edited by ron883

Giving up Vielma in this deal is...stupid. Doyle was certainly a questionable pickup just for Adams, but Getz is like 'here, have this 16 year old kid destroying the ball, as a throw in!'
