Haha, could’ve had him for next to nothing. A worthwhile recoup project. Instead, Getz goes after an older Senzel. Terrible GM. Terrible.

I don’t think much is going to happen on Tuesday either. Getz will join the Grifol fail parade at the trade deadline.

You have to maximize your fall guy by waiting until the end of the season. That will trick all stupid Sox fans, so thinks our awful owner.

Who in the F thinks the guy is good other than Getz and Grifol?

Yep, no thanks to either one.

Ramirez has gone off this season. My guess is that MLB hasn’t updated their rankings and BA did.

Mets would be more ideal for the potential return, I would think.

Guessing it will be changed to Davis Martin soon.

I would think they have to be IN. They aren’t catching up to the Phillies but leading the WC with an aggressive owner? They definitely have the position player prospects to get a trade done. Their top four rated prospects are all positions players and in MLB’s top 100.

Davis Martin starting tonight would be my guess.

Even if Fedde isn’t traded yet, there is really no advantage to starting him tonight, only risk of him getting injured in a meaningless Sox game. Plus, whatever team acquires him will be able to pitch him right away rather than wait for his next scheduled turn in their rotation.

Winker has also played RF in his career and as recently as this year and the Sox have no problem playing guys not exactly in their best defensive positions (see Gavin Sheets). But the “this guy wouldn’t have agreed to play for the Sox” excuse could be used for anyone. However, money talks and bullshit walks when it comes to free agency.

You win.

Good point. Look no further than Glasnow. The Dodgers traded for him and immediately extended him, even with his injury history.

Great post. Where are the results from Getz’s previous role before his promotion to GM?

Ultimately, this is what it comes down to.

Okay, thanks. That gives me hope over just Boob saying it.

I’m not the one who thinks some sports writer is actually stealing my thoughts from a Sox message board. That’s even more ludicrous. ?

Apparently he didn’t realize the ALC is weak mainly because of his own team. ?

That’s why Jerry promoted him. He knew the organization, the team, and what they needed to improve. It would be a quick turnaround and not take a GM from outside the organization a full year to assess things. Getz’s solution — defense and leadership! Oops, wait no. They actually still need those things, along with an entirely new offense. On pace for 42 wins. Excellent job, Chris.

There’s not one baseball person that could say with a straight face that Getz has done a good job. Absolutely ludicrous. Fedde doesn’t make up for an otherwise terrible offseason in which Getz didn’t improve the team defense as was his stated goal or make up for a historically bad season for the franchise.

Yep, this is the annual strategy. I would say it’s more like trying to find lighting in a dumpster. ?

Old man Salvy seriously looked like he ended Hendrick’s career, or at least ended his run as being a good starting pitcher. It was sad. Look at this meatball from Hendricks and watch Salvy absolutely wind up and tee off on it. https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2024/2024-07/26/97bcbbf6-b714cc5b-498d5bc3-csvm-diamondx64-asset_1280x720_59_16000K.mp4

Can’t draft and develop them, the owner refuses to pay for them… You would think the Sox would have prioritized trading for more position players rather than apparently waiting until right now. But they had to prioritize trading for what Jerry refuses to pay for even more which is starting pitching. Eventually they will have to spend money. There is only one solution which others have already stated. ☠️
