He’s a 2.5 WAR guy. I can see not wanting him because he is a bit older (26) than whom the Sox should be targeting and his defense is poor but he puts Andrew Vaughn to shame.

Seriously, if there is a bad move to make, the Sox will always choose it. It’s truly uncanny.

Winning percentage back down to .260. Back on pace to top the 2003 Detroit Tigers record! 42-120!

No excuses for this guy. He is even telegraphing it himself. If Getz hasn’t completed several trades by the deadline, he has done something wrong. “As trade market 'comes alive,' White Sox GM Chris Getz digs in for deadline” “Getz isn’t naming names, but it’s known he’s listening on everyone, Garrett Crochet, Luis Robert Jr. and Erick Fedde included. He acknowledged five or six players could be dealt as the Sox build for the future.”

This is just Sox fans wanting their desired/favorite position prospects. Sox fans, not Getz, are the ones trying to rule out certain teams because they don’t like their hitting prospects over other teams’ hitting prospects. You are making it seem like none of the competitive teams that are looking to deal for players have any top offensive prospects. There are more guys out there than simply Holliday and Mayo.

Who is “most”? It took me two seconds to find recent articles that the Phillies would like to add pitching.

Most people have no clue what teams are offering for any of the Sox players. I don’t see how a Sox fan can “rule out” anything when Getz is the one fielding calls from other GMs, not the fans. This is like trying to come up with a preemptive excuse for Getz in case he fails.

Agreed, but I was told we all had to at least give Getz the offseason, the draft, and the trade deadline to truly judge him.

The Sox have two of the top starters to deal making nothing, a top CF talent on a good contract (3/$55), several relievers to deal, Pham, and DeJong. There is literally one player on the roster that Getz shouldn’t be looking to deal in Thorpe. There aren’t many teams left? Huh? Teams make trades each and every trade deadline. This year will be no different. There are competitive teams in need of everything and the Sox have a bit of everything to trade — starters, position players, and bullpen. If Getz isn’t the busiest GM in baseball with several trades completed by the trade deadline, he has failed.

For rebuild #2, we are putting our faith in a GM that thought that Nicky freaking Lopez could be a viable starting 2B.

Ummm, ummm, ummm… Riley Gowens? Meanwhile, Bummer’s ERA is down to 3.31 and he has 43 strikeouts in 35.1 innings pitched. The Sox could have easily gotten more for him in a trade if Getz didn’t go for a large quantity of crap in the deal to fill this horrid roster.

Shuster’s crappy ass peripherals just caught up with him.

Of course not. We just have to hope that Getz acquires true talent and then provides them earmuffs so they don’t listen to our minor league coaches until they are called up.

He is clueless if he doesn’t already know himself, but you know all of the yes men weasels that he hires aren’t going to tell him.

13 strikeouts, lol. If Getz trades his last remaining assets for more pitching over position players, Sox fans should revolt.

Acquired from the dumpster that Getz was diving in this past offseason. It will take a desperate team to trade for him.

You might starve to death. At the very least, you would lose some weight.

Are you thinking of Pillar? I’m not sure Grossman had much of a hot streak this season.

I’m not buying it. If Getz isn’t the GM making the most trades by the deadline, he has failed miserably at his undeserved job. The only untouchable player on this roster is Thorpe.

I don’t think so either. It’s more about their GM than any Orioles poster. Not gonna happen.

Speedy bat boy? He’s a zero WAR player. The Sox should be ready to DFA him to play Sosa instead.

Robert with 12 homers and only 24 RBI. ?

I bet they wouldn’t give up those guys for Skubal either.
