How can anyone dislike Vasil? Even Venable let him announce one of the ASG selections because of how valuable he’s been. I think he’s had a gigantic influence on the clubhouse revival.

I’d consider myself a bigger Robert supporter than most, but if they didn’t trade him, who knows if Peters would have blossomed into what he is now.

But you are right in that the money they reallocated by trading him ended up providing no value.

Are we sure of that ? Didn't the trade with Boston where we picked up Hicks money and Sandlin come after the Robert trade ?

I think people are in such a hurry to blitz Getz they do stupid fan stuff like misremember how that money was reallocated. All it takes is for one person to say yea it sucked , we got no value should've kept Robert and everyone buys in and doesn't check the actual timeline of events.

You didn't expect it ? I stayed away because I didn't want to get into it with the same old Getz haters crying about a tiny move and blowing it out of proportion to say same old Sox and Getz sucks while hoping down in their souls that the Sox don't win the division so they can be vindicated that you can blame it all on the TDL acquisitions + Pham while the Sox are 1 game behind their high point above .500 . It's their last hurrah although they are inventive when it comes to finding scapegoats.

Everyone probably thought for sure Colson had no chance of reaching 30 HR's before Mune or Vargas . I hope all 3 hit a HR tomorrow and Martin shuts down the Asstros !

Pretty sure very few people said this. You must be thinking of the Cease trade.

Hicks Newcomb Dominguez…one hit one miss and however you describe Hicks after the eighth inning last night

Jury still out on Sandlin gaining better control/command and figuring out how to get more movement on his four seam fastball

The only way the Hicks/Sandlin trade can really be a bust is if Gage Ziehl turns into a better starter than Sandlin. Otherwise, it’s just money that would have stayed in Jerry’s pocket.

If being hyper-focused for every waking hour on becoming better at one's full-time job is so important to so many people here, how do they post online all day? Unless that's their job.

Moncada was the man honestly. This is a banger and he was always super nice to fans particularly kids. Pham is also the man but for some unknown reason (I can speculate) everyone think he's a clubhouse cancer.

Yes, everyone is racist because they are annoyed by Getz picking up a 38-year old geezer for the playoff run when the guy should be retired and also considering the Sox already had three better options throughout the season as a backup outfielder that Getz dumped.

Celebs with similar background to Pham:

1. Asia Nitollano

2. Jhené Aiko

3. Tyga

4. Karrueche Trần (Deion's gf)

5. Josh Jacobs (1/4 Pinoy)

   Most don't know the Vietnamese side of Pham's ethnicity, except for the "strange" name...but there's generally much less racism directed at mixed ethnicity celebrities/athletes imo

6. If you look at all the ugly 2021-23 allegations against TA Moncada Grandal Jimenez Robert Jr., it does seem that racism towards blacks Hispanics Cubans Latin Americans is far more pronounced, fwiw

No need to "speculate"

"Pham, frustrated after battling through injuries in the minors for pennies, wanted to get paid what he felt he was worth. His honest appraisal of management didn’t fit with the well-cultivated “Cardinal way” of quietly playing good soldier. So, the front office shipped him out at his lowest value for a minimal return to fix the clubhouse dynamics and save Bill DeWitt’s DeWallet, production be damned!

(If that take is off, I know you’ll correct it in the comments. There are as many theories on “what happened with the Pham trade” as there are Cardinal fans and everyone defends their particular brand of conspiracy with tin-foil ferocity. The only truth about the Pham trade is that they don’t want us to know the truth!!!

Pham has been at the center of controversy ever since his 2018 trade from St.Louis to the Rays.
