How quickly has a 5-year, $75 million dollar contract ever been DFA’ed and eaten?

Did Maldonado actually get his first hit? And a double?

Maldonado’s single fan, ladies and gentlemen!

How is this crap any better?

It never gets old.

We’ll see. Even a flier prospect is better than nothing.

This shitshow or Wrestlemania 40 Saturday? Tough choice…

All three are better than the guys Getz signed and have the potential to have a good first half. The guys Getz acquired have zero chance.

I mentioned three players that I would rather have acquired than DeJong, Lopez, Pillar, etc. if Getz was only going to sign cheap flip candidates that were bad last year. Rosario, Grichuk, and Michael A. Taylor.

No timetable for Robert’s hip flexor yet. Brebbia is in a walking boot.

This guy just flat out lies to the fans’ faces and expects us to believe this crap?

For a grade 2 hip flexor, I see 4 to 6 weeks from googling.

He just turned 24 and has hit in the minors. Maybe something clicks? Are you a big Nicky Lopez fan?

It’s an improvement. Fletcher has been wretched but you have to see what he can do at some point. 26 and not getting any younger. I also hope things finally click for Sosa in the majors. Would love to not have to watch one of DeJong/Lopez the rest of the season.

Getz’s roster management has been non-stop ass clownery, considering where the Sox are at.

Neither of us will be able to prove our points one way or the other, which is why I’m not arguing the point. But the cheap free agent position players available that were better than DeJong, Pillar, etc. were Rosario, Grichuk, and Taylor. Benintendi shouldn’t have been signed at all. Like most of the rest of the roster, he’s terrible.

They just literally dealt Speas to Oakland for cash.

There are a few better players that signed for a pittance. You will say that they wouldn’t have signed with the Sox, but that would only be true if you could go inside all of their heads and assume they wouldn’t sign with the Sox for perhaps half a mill or a mill more over a contender, which you can’t.

“Yes, yesss, give me more Getzy!”

And he was just traded to Oakland for more of Jerry’s favorite — cash considerations, haha. So Speas couldn’t have been traded or cut prior to now to make room for Rodriguez? Asking for a friend…

We didn’t. Jerry’s wallet did. ?

Anyone I say, you will argue that they would’ve only signed with contenders.

The Sox don’t usually like to admit that their acquisitions were terrible so soon. Probably after the trade deadline.

So you’re saying we can hope to get back a Jose Rodriguez type prospect for some of these relievers? ?

There were no position player free agents that the Sox could’ve signed that would’ve been better trade candidates than who Getz acquired in the offseason? None?
