Now that the deadline has come to an end, I wanted to see how we would all grade the collective work of Getz and the front office. Below is a summary of the players added & subtracted from the organization:

Added:

• Luis Castillo, SP (26 man)

• Huascar Brazoban, SU (26 man)

• Brenton Doyle, OF (26 man)

• Joey Bart, C (26 man)

Subtracted:

• Sir’Anthony Dominguez, MR (26 man)

• Everson Pereira, OF (26 man)

• Duncan Davitt, RHP (40 man)

• Boston Smith, C (minors)

• Gabe Davis, RHP (minors)

• Mason Adams, RHP (minors)

• Carlos Vielma, IF (minors)

• Zach Franklin, RHP (minors)

• Nolan Jones, OF (minors)

B. Got better overall.

D

C. They did get pitching help, but the position player trades were very underwhelming.

South Side Sox

MLB trade deadline: Give Getz, White Sox a C+

Average return earns an average grade

Fine. Nothing earth-shattering but also nothing to work myself into a lather over. I like the Brazoban, Bart, and Castillo moves. The Doyle trade confuses me, but the player dev side has earned some runway.

Hope they are in a position to push more chips in next season, but I get why they didn't.

C. I would vote F but I’ll give them credit for not moving any of our higher rated prospects trying to chase this season.

Im not sure our active roster is any better than it was Friday. In fact the rotation and lineup may have gotten worse. So D. The bullpen looks stacked at least.

It’s so hard to give a grade when you aren’t a part of the conversations. Take the catcher position, for example. I wanted Stephenson, but he didn’t even move, which tells me the asking price was too high. I think if Getz traded for Stephenson, my grade for him would be even lower because of who he had to give up. But do I know that for sure? Of course not.

Bart very well could have been the best option without giving up too much. And if you upgrade a position of need in the best way possible, then that deserves an A. But it’s crazy to give an A for a Bart acquisition.

In summary, I have no clue how to grade it. Strictly in terms of how much better we got, I’d give it a C.
