I'm not sure the Sox could have done that. Bergolla's injured. They don't seem to have much between the "fuckin' dudes" tier, and projects, right now.

Getz pretty much said this as well in a post trade deadline video. That they have top guys and lower level guys but not the in between prospects that were mostly traded at the deadline.

He just needs to keep hitting at the same clip he showed in Boston. Good for a 289 WRC+.

Easy.

And if it serves my memory right, the Cubs picked up his contract, no? This is exactly what I am talking about.

Yes, they did. The $7.3 million remaining of the final year of Gausman’s contract ($23 million for 2026).

The lack of adding a second SP could prove deadly.

Pisses me off so much. We should have easily been able and motivated enough to exceed the package Cleveland gave for Foster Griffin.

Something like Oppor / Bush / Carela / Zalava

Why does anybody think another team would take our yips patients, rehabbers and dude who ain't cutting it for real players?

Romero reporting again Quero being sent down

Kinda strange since Quero has started hitting lately. Has it been confirmed whether or not Romo has options remaining? That may be the true decider on this move. But then again, even if Romo was out of options would any team claim him? Maybe a bad team since he’s still young and had prospect status…

Yep, strange move. Why mess with Quero once it looks like he might be starting a hot streak?

Had two great games against the Reds and now they send him down. Definitely need to trade him this offseason.

At this point, we can only assume Romo has blackmail.

this is a joke

It’s just strange at this point. At least if we knew for sure Romo’s option status, one could argue that maybe Getz is afraid that some garbage team would actually claim him if he is out of options, even as bad as he has been. Don’t think it’s been confirmed though.

Yeah I don't blame him if he messages someone on IG that he's better than Romo.

He was finally putting together good PAs, which Romo basically never does. Yes, his defense is atrocious, but Romo's isn't that much better.

I'm gonna be honest that I know nothing about Jake Rogers....what kind of improvement is he?

I thought that was outed as fake. Not sure through.

Known as a good defensive catcher, good caller of games, and a good framer, can’t really hit at all, but does have occasional home run pop. I think it was a good pickup for $717K, perhaps for the “veteran leadership” alone. I just don’t understand sending Quero down over Romo.

MLB Trade Rumors

White Sox Claim Jake Rogers

The White Sox get another catcher after a string of poor injury luck.

“In almost 3,000 innings behind the plate, Rogers has been credited with 12 Defensive Runs Saved and has a Fielding Run Value of 10. His career framing numbers are above average with FanGraphs, Statcast and Baseball Prospectus. With the bat, he has 47 home runs in 1,224 plate appearances but has also struck out in 31.7% of those trips to the plate. He has a .199/.272/.381 career line and 79 wRC+.”
