Both Thaiss and Robinson are older backup catchers. Both traded for cash. Like I said, these guys are a dime a dozen.

I’d rather trade for Kenny Powers.

Jorge Fabregas was traded by the Angels to the Sox in the Tony Phillips trade, which did not involve cash considerations. Josh Paul was drafted by the Sox, released in 2003, and signed with the Cubs before he joined the Angels in 2004. What do these two catchers have to do with what @Quin posted?

Meanwhile, Jerry has flashback nightmares about giving Benintendi $75 million. The Orioles will probably sign/trade for one more starter.

Getz is their #1 customer…

Glad the arrow is still pointing down.

This is why it was kind of weird that the Sox were so insistent on keeping Chuckie Robinson on the roster all last year. It really isn’t that difficult to obtain a no bat backup catcher.

The Cubs also haven’t been the laughingstock of baseball the past two seasons and didn’t set the modern era loss record. They have won 83 games in back-to-back seasons. Not good enough but not historically awful either. The Cubs had the ninth highest opening day payroll in the MLB last year and just acquired a “big guy”. Now they get to see if they can re-sign him. But have the Sox ever even acquired their version of Kyle Tucker? I’m not defending them, as I am not a Cubs fan, but the truth is that the Cubs are in a far better place than the Sox are.

Yeah, not quite. They just acquired a top ten hitter in baseball. Meanwhile, the Red Sox use us to groom aces for them.

Warren should be gone too. He’s part of the problem.

Good, he blows. He built the bare minimum OL for two young QB’s in a row. Goodbye, Poles.

That’s hyperbole. However, unsurprisingly, Julks sucks and is a DFA candidate. I’m surprised he’s even still on the roster.

If they weren’t such a joke of a team with a joke of an owner, they’d have a chance at signing international players like Sasaki, but they have neglected this area for years and aren’t a desirable location to land in. The Sox made their bed and now they get to lay in it.

That was my assumption as well. But I could see some confusion when one is posting it on a Sox message board.

Buzz that Sasaki is coming to Dallas (Texas Rangers) or Chicago (White Sox)?

Cubs fans won this contest when they signed Kosuke Fukudome and printed those racist Holy Cow (but not spelled quite that way).

I’m sure Bannister understands this but I’m sure he also thinks it sucks that Jerry won’t extend any of them. Crochet is only 25 and age-wise, he fits their competitive window. Money-wise to Jerry, he does not.

Anyone order their Sasaki Sox jersey yet?

Couldn’t that also just mean the Sox kept drafting a bunch of busts? Guys that never were going to make it anywhere?

Imagine loving all these pitchers you help develop and having to watch them be traded because your ultimate boss is a cheap bastard.

Wow. I knew he had an ego but that’s just embarrassing. And yes, he has learned to be a good company man and not question the team that pays him ever since he called out some Cubs players back 20 years ago.

Love child of the Big O and the Admiral.

I’ve got the underwear. Gonna make a run to CostCo tomorrow morning for the raspberry juice…

I think you pretty much nailed it, haha.
