Yes, the rotation should be interesting. Bullpen could easily be crap again but I don’t see the lineup scoring enough runs for them to win many games.

The guys on the ESPN 1000 postgame don’t seem to think so. They referenced his halftime interview in which he sounded defeated and like he was already informed.

Nope, shoulda kept Justin…

They couldn’t turn one asset into an average starting position player.

I responded to a post that mentioned the GM. What is the problem?

Caleb and Kmet, players of the game so far.

Well, that was awful.

Kmet scores a nice TD and is now our long snapper as well.

Why did I wake up early to watch this Pop Warner offense? Anyone who thinks Tory Taylor was a waste of a 4th round pick is nuts. He’s MVP for the Bears so far.

Cue the gif… It’s not Getz’s fault! Leave Getz alone!

Our wizard GM thought he was getting two starters in Fletcher and Vargas and they are bad bench players. A rookie mistake? The guy supposedly listened to his assistant GM and an assistant hitting coach that he fired a week later for both trades. Getz is an epic failure.

The Bears are a draw. Fans care about them even when they are bad. Jerry has ruined his own team to the point that Sox fans are just casual and indifferent and just won’t attend games if the product is bad. What incentive would the Bears have to tie their anchor to the Sox? The Sox would only be a detriment to whatever the Bears want to do. And the Bears are actually willing to spend money on their own stadium. Jerry is a cheap piece of sh1t and wants everyone but him to pay for his own new stadium. I absolutely can’t stand Pritzker considering he is a billionaire and has still committed some shady things to avoid paying taxes (look up removing his toilets from his mansion), but I hope he keeps telling Jerry to shove his funding requests up his ass.

Nice analysis. 🧐 I’m not assigning anything to anyone. Hayes is a Twins reporter and I posted his report. Now we have our own board insider saying it was accurate except the Twins also wanted the Sox to cover some of Fedde’s salary. Regardless of how you want to analyze the tweet in your own head, acquiring Keaschall would have been a better deal for the Sox than awful Vargas, even if they had to send cash to the Twins in the deal. And Getz does have a couple good trades — Grossman and DeJong. However, those two minor trades don’t outweigh all of his terrible moves. But fine, round of applause for our GM!

Ideally, they keep him until the trade deadline and he tears it up, rather than selling him this offseason while his value is so low.

They were trying to get to the playoffs. That also tends to boost the value of a franchise.

Probably not but their current #3 prospect would look much better on this team than Vargas.

Brutal. So Jerry wouldn’t eat any part of what was remaining on a $15 million dollar contract for a better return than Vargas? That sure went well. With that kind of cheapness, Getz is totally going to include Benintendi in a Crochet trade.

Yep, I know finding recent posts in a thread you posted in 13 hours ago is difficult.

The “Share” link feature apparently doesn’t work properly, but you know exactly what I was referring to. A reporter with sources can’t ever be right, but WestEddy always is!

Getz has confidence his team is going to compete next season, just like last offseason. 🤣

They are also like $5 bucks on sale sometimes at places like Menard’s.

This is true but he was lights out for 5.1 innings right before he was traded. I realize it’s a small sample size but Kopech wasn’t sucking right before he was traded.

You seem to think that your opinion on a trade outweighs an actual reporter’s, yet you are just a “guy on the Internet”, so what’s the difference here? Seems a bit hypocritical for you to say this considering your post below…

It was actually The Athletic’s reporter Dan Hayes that covers the Twins that said Minnesota was willing to trade Luke Keaschall for Fedde, not Nightengale, so does it count now or is Hayes a hack too? Hayes reported this right after the trade deadline. Sure sounds like a very direct and explicit statement to me…

I noticed this right away but I couldn’t figure out what the heck was going on.
