See I’m supposed to not confuse the Montgomeries when people just randomly switch in threads. Anyway, simple rule - guys should even callups. Could we see Braden this year? High draft pick but didn’t see any time last year because of injury. If he got to BHam early in the season and torched it with a .975 OPS or something like that for 10-12 weeks, then why not? If you score a Juan Soto what’s the point of burying him in the minors for longer? It’s probably not likely coming back from injury but with zero evidence of what he’s got, anything’s possible. Remarkably, the same rule works for Colson. Earn his call up and he can come up. It’s a simple concept, but it would let everyone understand where they are and what they need to do to move up.

Unfortunately, it’s getting pretty obvious that the Sox are only interested in dumping salary, not taking any on. I doubt Jerry would approve the wise move you suggest that other smart teams have done before when their payroll is so low and rebuilding is the current strategy.

Getz would be a moron to accept such a trade over prospects for Robert. Let’s hope he isn’t that clueless.

I'm secretly Chris Getz, and I am not paying him.

Bryse Wilson, yes

Robert for Lux/Outman would be the suggested trade...which I still don't like that much. At this point, rolling the dice and holding him makes more sense.

I remember back in the 90s asserting 4-5 years for a high schooler and at least 3-4 years for a power conference position player was pretty much the norm. The White Sox seem to have cut that time table in half as they continuously rush to plug holes in the big league roster. At any rate, someone was thinking that Braden could possibly be debuting for the Sox as early as next season.

David Keller has the same innocuous title that Marco Paddy had but my interpretation is that he’s essentially the international director and Louis Silverio is running the academy. This hire for a coordinator is basically the #2 to Keller. They will coordinate between the area scouts and staff in the DR up to Keller and the front office. It’s a big job, but a necessary one.

Robert for Outman would be the worst trade in Getz’s career by far.

Maybe Harold is a "double agent" working for the Dodgers secretly while getting paid by Getz lol.

Luis Robert could have 2 weeks of team control left and I wouldn't trade him for 2 years of Gavin Lux. What are we doing here?

Robert for Lux alone makes just about zero sense. At the very least, get someone back from LA that can play a credible CF....probably Outman, since they won't as easily give up Pages.

Maybe replacing Mike Gellinger's old role in the system...sort of a jack of all trades.

Yep, I’m just waiting for his rationale. There could be an argument to acquire Lux to flip him but I doubt it would be worth it overall considering what Getz would have to give up for him in the first place.

Speaking of bingo cards, The Sox playing 3 D chess was not on mine

Its literally only Harry.

If he was a legitimate major league SS, I'd almost be for it....allowing Montgomery to concentrate more fully on his offensive game and making the transition to 3B (hopefully not first, where his bat wouldn't be as much of a plus or added value.) But we already have FIVE players (including Vargas and now Meidroth) who profile best at second base. Didn't we learn from before when the Dodgers told us by their playing time decisions that Grandal wasn't a strong defensive catcher and Pollock was definitely not a RFer by any stretch of the imagination???

There’s no logic here, other than Sox logic

Okay? Angels fans have never seen Mike Trout in the playoffs and just saw Ohtani win it the year after he left. Angels fans probably should be more miserable than us.

That’s what I want to know. Doesn’t sound like this is KW Jr’s old role either.

Vs literally the worst season in MLB history.

Angels had the two best players in the world and did literally nothing with them. Not sure about the Mariners.

If he had 4-5 years of control left, sure, let’s go after him.

I know everyone has their favorites but the Lux fascination at this point in his career is bizarre to me.

Sox can’t even win most aggrieved fans. ESPN did a ranking and placed them 3rd, ahead of the Angels and Mariners cuz “things can turn around in a hurry”? Why the Mariners and Angels? God only knows. What about A’s fans? Their team left. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/43062978/mlb-2024-10-most-frustrated-fan-bases-angels-mariners-cubs-cardinals
