1 hour ago1 hr Author The biggest question is…Is Jake Rogers still rocking the 70’s pornstache or did he shave it off?
1 hour ago1 hr Rogers has a .199 lifetime BA. There were far better catchers available before the trade deadline if Getz was serious about helping this team compete for an AL Central Championship. And of course another starter could have been had. Hold on to those prospects Getz. Maybe they will turn into the likes of the Minor league pitchers we are seeing come up and fail.

But yeah, these are the scraps you are left with at catcher post deadline. I still think not acquiring a second starter was the far worse decision. Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by WhiteSox2023

1 hour ago1 hr I still think I'd rather have Quero around than Romo, but I have a feeling Quero will be booking a ticket to Charlotte shortly.

Is there a mystery cache of top prospects that we've never heard of, but would have gotten every top player on the market in trade?

Is there a mystery cache of top prospects that we've never heard of, but would have gotten every top player on the market in trade?Not a catcher, no, and I was fine with the Bart acquisition. It just didn’t work out due to a random injury.However, Getz obviously had the prospects to trade for a rental starter, even after the Castillo trade. It doesn’t appear that Getz ever considered rentals since he even mentioned the additional year(s) of control for all the players he acquired at the deadline. He pretty much said it himself.That was the mistake.
