Agreed, but pass on Doyle then and use Mason Adams in a trade for a rental pitcher.

Do you think it's possible that no one wanted Mason Adams for a rental pitcher that would be worth getting in the slightest? Do you think Getz and the front office doesn't know his value to other teams?

I updated my previous post. There are other guys in your system to trade for a rental. Wolkow for example. The fact that Getz only obtained players with control beyond this year likely indicates that he wasn’t even considering rentals.

Already did that in the offseason. He could reject, and likely would.

Oh well. That’s fine too. No loss

Sox fans had 100% overvalued the value of the 2nd and 3rd tier guys.

Yes, one could definitely question what Getz and the front office thinks about player values considering they just traded for a CF that is older and worse than the outfielders they already had.

I don’t know anything about him. Regardless, even if he wasn’t even included in the trade, Getz seemingly made the roster worse for this year. You still didn’t explain to me why they are better from this series of moves.

The Cubs and Sox are in very different places with who they are willing to give up, and rightfully so.

This is true. I don't believe the Sox long term projection was altered in any way the last few days. Getting Brazobon alone should make them a better team right now.

Wolkow has way too much upside to include him in a trade at this point. He's young, he keeps himself fit, and he works hard.

Well s%*#. As long as he stays in shape.

Did anyone think to check the BMI of the guys we traded away?

Friend of mine is a huge Giants fan and he was pissed when San Fran gave up on Bart. He said that he was starting to figure it out in flashes.

Maybe Bart will surprise us.

He literally can not be worse than what we’ve had so far. 😆

Not sure if this was already posted but it’s encouraging:

If Bart gets most of the playing time, sending Quero down is fine. He can get consistent playing time and work of improvements. Romo shouldn't play more than a couple days a week.

Rockies have fallen in love with their new CF, Carigg. He's their new golden boy, and he looks good. They needed to get rid of Doyle, who doesn't hit anyway. Getz complied. Adams will improve the pitching staff, which isn't very good, obviously.

So is Lee.

Lip, Q might be in the dog house, but I would say Lee is in the out house

I predict Joey Bart's bat alone will lift the Sox historic low combined offensive output at the catching position in an upward projection.

Hogan, is it possible that the Sox pitchers collectively want Drew Romo to stay because--- for lack of a better term--- he's good to work with? In other words, that he makes them feel more confident somehow? And although the bat hasn't exactly been on fire, maybe this catcher-to-pitcher rapport takes precedence. Or, maybe that theory is "out in left field?"

About a week ago, Romo made a challenge later in the game that looked ridiculous. But the way he made it looked exactly like he was just trying to buy Davis Martin a breather, and I think it's possible he's the most on the same page with his pitchers out of the bunch.

Definitely possible. Also, I don't think Romo has options left, and Quero does. Obviously they could have just DFA'd Romo and kept Quero around. In that scenario, though, Bart would still be playing the majority of the games. That would hurt Quero's development.

He’s got 2 left.

Even if he didn't, who would want Drew Romo on their major league roster?
