Luckily, I’m wrong about all of this because Getz has never made a bad trade. 🤣

Getz has made trades that haven't worked out. I don't think 3 weeks after a trade is the time to judge that a trade is "bad".

Again, Getz is not playing for 26.

Yea but the team is. This might be the best chance thee Sox have to win the Division for a while.

I don’t really understand your comments about the Rockies giving away Doyle for nothing,

Because when we want to complain about a trade, the prospects we send out are sure-fire solutions, and future All-Stars, but the prospects we get back are "basically nothing".

The White Sox traded Austin Slater to the Yankees for Gage Zeihl. Basically nothing. Gage Zeihl was the guy who went to the Red Sox in the Sandlin/Hicks trade. He wasn't "nothing", he was depth that another team had interest in. Dylan Campbell and Jose Colmenares came back from Philly for Hill. Both interesting bats. Just like Curtis Mead, Boston Smith, and others. Jordan Rich.

Jaden Woods was the lefty minor league reliever who came back in the Jacob Gonzalez deal that was panned as trading our future SS to secure a "nepo pick". Oh, Woods is striking out 14.9 per 9 IP in Charlotte, of all places.

Prosek was the guy picked up...Thome was almost an automatic.

They drafted Thome in the slot they traded for, knowing he would give a discount. They applied the surplus to Prosek. People here screamed that Thome was a "nepo pick", just to argue, it seems. Like if a prospect is available at an appropriate slot, giving a discount, the Sox should not select him to pass some mental purity test for the same people who will scream that Getz messed up by not taking Thome when he was available.
