You played this same game with Christian Mena already (trying to crap on him cuz Getz traded him away), and those posts now look very stupid considering Fletcher had to be sent down because he was so bad and he still didn’t even earn this latest call-up.

Can you show me these statistics that you are referring to that show 28 year old Julks is a good major league player?

He is an actual good player? Huh? What evidence supports that?

Awesome, what location?

In general, can anyone explain the rationale behind why Getz is trading young prospects for 26+ year old guys, with where the Sox are right now?

He’s already 28. It seems like Charlotte just needed an outfielder to replace Fletcher.

Live look at Getz in his office…

Remember when Sheets improved and was an .800+ OPS guy? Yeah, nope. Hot streak ova. Almost back down to his career line.

A 28 year old LF. Why?

He’s a wacky dude. He was always trying to call out Vince McMahon and the WWE in the past, even though their ratings destroy his for AEW.

Is there a consolation prize for 60-to-70 wins that I am not aware of? Would you really be more excited finishing in that range of wins? If so, why? A losing season is a losing season.

Any fishermen or women out there? I plan on taking my son fishing this Friday. I used to fish Axehead Lake in Park Ridge, IL when I was younger but now I always get skunked when I go there. We will probably check out Skokie Lagoons on Friday. Any good fishing spots that you fishing fans know of? I do use the FishBrain app already. ?

You also have to catch the ball and not muff it before you can “freight train” anywhere. ?

I wonder if Steve would have given up Mena for Fletcher.

It was the Mets. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/12/erick-fedde-nearing-deal-with-unknown-team.html

Hopefully, Moncada is “earning” that much smaller paycheck on some other team’s IL next year.

There is no option. Fedde is guaranteed $7.5 million next year. Erick Fedde rhp 2 years/$15M (2024-25) 2 years/$15M (2024-25) signed by Chicago White Sox as a free agent 12/5/23 24:$7.5M, 25:$7.5M

I don’t think the full story ever came out, but if he didn’t notify the Sox or “get permission” for a leave of absence, then there could be some justification for Getz dumping him. But I still don’t think the “true story” ever came out officially.

Great post. Who is to say that Getz’s return on these vets will be any better than the guys he basically traded away/dumped for a final total of Dominic Fletcher and cash? Christian Mena Matthew Thompson Jose Rodriguez Both Mena and Thompson have improved this year in other team’s farm systems (go figure ?). I doubt Getz could get back a prospect like these two for any vet on the team not named Fedde or Kopech.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Fedde is their best trade chip and he isn’t even returning a top 100 prospect. Also, if they don’t trade guys like DeJong and Flexen soon, their numbers are going to flatline back to terrible and the Sox won’t get anything for them.

And do you really want to sign a guy to an extension who will be heading into his age 33 season, in the first year of the new deal?

He’s DFA material. Nice of Getz to give him $3 million bucks though.

I’m not buying it. If Flexen was truly a hot name on the trade market like Bob says, he would’ve been traded already.

WestEddy for the win!
