Doyle's existence kind of shows how much they trusted Perez's CF defense.

14 hours ago14 hr It's clear they brought in Pham to be commissioner for the team fantasy football league. 🤣 Edited 14 hours ago14 hr by HoosierSox

14 hours ago14 hr I think that when Davis Martin hit a batter and the benches cleared, Getz saw a clear need for a bad-ass to lead the charge onto the field to mix it up. Tommy Pham is my name!!!! And Fuckin' up Mother-Fuckers is my Game!!!!
14 hours ago14 hr I don’t get picking up Pham, at one time he was pretty decent and I’ve never seen a player as intense as him but this is a complete waste. Bringing Robert back made more sense than this move. Edited 14 hours ago14 hr by The Mighty Mite

14 hours ago14 hr Just now, fathom said:I really think the Sox were trying to get Robert, based on these moves.That's my thought. They're weak against LHPs, Orioles had priority on Robert, picked up anyone who swung a bat. Looks like he was doing okay in Lehigh Valley. We could either have a complete platoon OF, or Pham could be gone by Friday.

Bringing Robert back made more sense than this move.From some of the comments at Sox Machine they believe Pham is not for long and when Teel comes up he will be launched. Also the O's were ahead of the Sox and they nabbed Robert before the Sox could. Supposedly the Sox had interest in him.

Obviously, not saying give up something for him but like cash considerations so the Mets could at least dump some money. Edited 14 hours ago14 hr by Bob Sacamano

His injury history just kept everyone away, I can't blame them.

As I was typing out that comment I remembered he had just come off the IL like right before the deadline Edited 14 hours ago14 hr by Bob Sacamano

The money his trade freed up was used on Dominguez and Hays. We got negative value out of both. Dumping Dominguez even got us more salary to carry over for next year in Castillo. Just a series of bad decisions from Getz stemming from this trade.
