Nope. Don't like that

If the point was/is to gain some offense out of the catcher position, nothing that Getz has done since the Teel ankle injury, including the Bart deal, makes a stitch of common sense. In order to "go for it" with this team, this year, he should have traded for a catcher (and a legit starter) before the deadline, even if it required including top prospects to get deals done. Can't keep kicking the can down the road.

Yep, everything Getz did was about playing for the future as much as this year with the year(s) of control that each player he acquired had remaining.

But Boston gave up a huge package for Adley and Stephenson wasn’t even traded. I don’t have a problem with the Bart acquisition. He would have been a good add going forward if he didn’t break his hand after three games.

Brazoban was a nice acquisition but don’t think Doyle was needed at all. But yes, Getz should be grilled for not acquiring a second starter, even if it was a rental starter.

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…

Quero will have to Kerrigan Romo soon

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

Probably because of his performance the plate. Him tipping pitched is no beuno.

Cost us at least one game

Castillo was very complimentary of Romo after his second start. I don't think Luis will start posting on Sox Talk about it, but the pitchers must feel comfortable with Romo behind the plate.
