Yeah, this isn’t true even if you hate Kopech and realize Pham is just a fourth outfielder. I thought the Fedde signing would be a bust but it wasn’t. It was one of the very few good acquisitions Getz made this past offseason.
Chuck thought ex-Dodger Yasiel Puig would be a good acquisition for the Sox this past offseason. Sadly, I wouldn’t be surprised if he could still outhit Miguel Vargas.
Well, it hasn’t translated to the majors, but I’m sure the Sox will be the team to adjust his swing and get him going again even though the Dodgers could not.
This should be no surprise. The guy has won one trade so far — Robbie Grossman for a reliever.
Getz values mediocre to crappy infielders just like himself, along with JR’s favorite David Eckstein. From Nicky Lopez to Miguel Vargas…
It’s on the Sox official site now so I’m sure it’s correct…

Haha, so our awesome GM actually packaged up three assets for this garbage return? Way to maximize value.
Can we go back to that Jordan Walker deal please? Vargas blows and these prospects are nothing but lottery tickets that someone threw on the ground.
Just seems like a tweet of the guy throwing crap at the wall to see if it sticks, since there has already been news that the Cardinals are pushing hard for Fedde.
Two unnamed prospects. I smell BS…
The Bummer trade was a disaster. Got back a bunch of crap and burned millions.
Meanwhile, if the Braves weren’t competing, they could trade Bummer for a decent prospect haul. Another fail for Getz.
What an absolute embarrassment that offseason was. The “Machado family and friends recruitment strategy.” Machado basically played Hahn and the Sox to help get Yonder Alonso and Jon Jay a few million dollars.
I don’t think that’s the issue. The concern is that Walker’s swing needs to be fixed and no one has faith in the Sox being the team to be able to fix him. See Eloy Jimenez and various other hitters.
I stopped watching after “DeRo’s” first trade proposal for Crochet. Elias refuses to trade Mayo and they now need Norby to start at 2B with the injury to Mateo. Why do they pay these guys?
