Reminds me of the Bummer trade.

That’s easily resolved, without expecting to eat Benintendi’s contract. Cut Sheets. He’s worthless.

Getz probably felt he had to make up for dumping Pillar too early. ?

Probably, but just because Vargas has been in the majors the last three years and hit well in the PCL doesn’t mean he has a major league ready bat. I guess we shall find out.

He echoed some posters’ comments here — i.e., one player too short, didn’t extract full value from Fedde.

Berto from the west side, dude! And I sure hope he makes a follow-up call after this trade deadline.

Nah, it’s just further proof that he is who we thought he was — a bad GM.

I assume most people are talking about offensively.

Can we go back in time and offer Fedde for Jordan Walker in a one-for-one swap without the lesser prospects?

But that first bullet is very bad IMO.

The only way this makes sense is if Getz thought Edman would bring a better return of prospects than Fedde, and that wouldn’t make sense to me either.

I still can’t believe Fedde for Edman was a one for one swap. I would have told the Cardinals and the Dodgers to go shove and traded Fedde for the best prospect return from another interested team. He then included Kopech and Pham and still got back a mediocre return. I don’t care about Pham because he wasn’t worth much but Fedde and Kopech should have been traded separately to maximize the prospect return.

Nothing. How hilarious that without Hahn’s trades at last year’s deadline, Getz would have nothing in the minors.

Just what I was wondering about last Friday…

The Sox had to add at least one legit offensive piece for Fedde. They have 7 lineup spots to fill, and that’s if you think Montgomery and Quero are the real deal. Instead, Getz packaged him with Kopech and Pham and still didn’t even get back a single legit offensive piece.

He lost the big three right in the beginning of the season! Oh wait, two of them came back and still suck.

Colas should be up because Sheets should be DFA’ed.

I would say this thread should be stickied but I have a feeling it won’t be leaving the first page of threads any time soon. Oh yeah…

There’s no sugar-coating this deal, try as you might. The Sox should have done better than Vargas as the headliner.

I expected this trade deadline would end up worse than our expectations because Getz was gonna Getz, but not the epic failure this has become. The Sox had the most trade assets to move and Getz already managed to blow three of them in one awful trade. Now he is talking sh1t about his best trade asset. What a fucking moron. How about just not answering the question you clueless excuse for a GM?

Yes Chris, please continue to devalue your own best trade asset prior to trading him, you stupid ass-clown. Pretty obvious Getz is saying this crap to save face with Sox fans rather than extract the most return out of Crochet. “It’s Garrett’s fault that we had to trade him! We didn’t want to, promise!” Otherwise, why even answer this question? “No comment” dumbass…

No thanks, Chris. Please, no more deals. Your trades all suck and you make me miss Rick.

Worth more than what our absolute boner of a GM traded him for, after also packaging him with Kopech and Pham.

Ah okay, didn’t see the WSD post. At least there was still some moronic rationale for Getz to choose a worse return I guess. Dear lord…

Better to whom? Rational Sox fans? This doesn’t really make any sense, unless in Getz’s mind, the return he chose was better.
