Because obviously if you can make enough good moves at the same time, including cheap good moves, you can eventually form some semblance of a team. Unfortunately, Getz has absolutely whiffed on the majority of his acquisitions and he is no closer to being competitive than he was last year. And once Getz runs out of a Cease or Crochet to trade away, good fucking luck.
Perez means nothing at this point because Getz never acquired him and the rumors of Sox interest in him sure seem to be BS at this point. Your Perez argument means nothing. Getz chose a -1.3 WAR catcher for $4.25 million that he cut loose right around the All-Star break on July 19, 2024.
