It’s a weird situation. The Sox know he’s reaching a max output in which he may decline for this year. But so do other teams. So why would other teams pay the Sox expected price for how he has pitched so far this season? The Sox will want full boat, regardless of the expected performance decline for this season due to a potential innings limit. I could totally see Crochet not being moved due to this strange conundrum.

Chicago GMs are the worst GMs. All of them. Trading all these guys too late for a worse return. What a loser.

Eh, I remember people saying this about the Orioles and Cease. Then, the Orioles got Burnes at a much cheaper price than what people expected from them for Cease and Cease was dealt for a #85 MLB prospect. I hope the return is high for Crochet but teams just don’t seem to give up their top prospects very much any more.

Getz did spend money on some relievers. He just managed to pick all the wrong ones, just like Hahn used to. Because both are bad GMs.

Would make this trade yesterday, and it’s actually salaries that the Orioles can even afford to take on. I wonder if Elias won’t even give up those two prospects?

Dominguez is a couple years younger. I bet they would be willing to trade Jones before Dominguez. I would also rather have Dominguez, but I don’t see the Yankees moving him.

Those aren’t fountains, they are extra large bidets for public use. ?

And he’s hitting better than most of our lineup, albeit in a small sample size.

Elko is likely just a career minor leaguer. He’ll turn 26 in the offseason and he strikes out at a 30%+ rate.

His Wikipedia page says this: ”Torborg has Parkinson's disease and no longer signs autographs.” Terrible if true. My uncle passed away recently after Parkinson’s took away his will to live, but it was advanced by that point.

Maybe. The walks are scary ugly but these splits show he may have a role.

And the biggest surprise yet, more talk about how Sox players should be acquired by Baltimore for a pittance. ? And it’s all a waste of time discussing it because just like the Cease deal that didn’t happen, Elias isn’t going to pay up for Cease or Robert, and probably not even Fedde.

Sarcasm.

Excellent post. The thought is that he is either Getz himself or employed by the Sox because of how much he defends both Getz and the Maldonado signing, while at the same time crapping on our better catcher Korey Lee, whom was acquired by Hahn. He also likes to constantly rip on “AdVaNcEd MeTrIcS” (yes, he spells it out this way) which makes him further look like a Sox employee because our team is too cheap and stupid to spend much money on such modern day baseball analysis. But without giving any specifics on a potential trade beforehand, he will often respond to a Twitter post by Heyman or Nightengale “confirming” a Sox trade with “No sh1t, Jon!” or “No duh, Bob!” Typically, insiders give other insiders credit on Twitter for breaking trade news, since that is the business they are in. Wetbutt23 and KatyPerrysBootyHole still have the most credibility of any supposed insiders. They called the Quintana trade a day before it became official and that Q was headed to the Cubs for four prospects.

If we do that, we also have to track all the pathetic dumpster diving free agents that add up to $25 to $35 million that Getz signs each offseason. It’s a White Sox tradition that is never going away, no matter who the GM is.

That would be one option, but Jerry Reinsdorf isn’t the Padres’ owner, luckily enough for Padres fans.

Yep. Good luck on the Sox ever improving if they either can’t afford to eat a pathetic $55 million dollar contract or would be absolutely stupid and pathetic enough to neuter their return on one of their two best players by including a salary dump.

But his ERA is over 4…

No, they fell apart completely, just like JUSTgottaBELIEVE said they would. The Yankees own that division. As a result, Elias will now overpay for Crochet, even though he got Burnes for a song.

Question is, if the Sox ever get another player as good as Tatis Jr., and I don’t think Robert is even that guy, what should the Sox do then? Sign him to a huge deal or trade him? You can’t have it both ways.

I have browsed this site for awhile. Saddest of all is that anyone would make such an embarrassing water carrying post for the Sox front office, as if they have ever been a group that you give the benefit of the doubt to. You also ignored the fact that had the Sox kept Tatis Jr., they didn’t have to offer him the very same contract that the Padres did. They could have gone year to year with him via salary arbitration for six years. Yep, Tatis Jr. and Erik Johnson for Shields. Sure wouldn’t want Tatis Jr. right now… Stellar trade by the Sox.

Yep, I thought so. And it’s still as dumb as when you initially posted it. And now you are doubling down on your stupid post. That’s really not how to assess a trade. Getz just wasted $24 million this past offseason on a bunch of dumpster diving veteran junk and you think that’s too much to pay for Tatis Jr.

You are the master of only looking at the stats at a moment in time when they favor whatever your stupid argument is, which is basically bashing any team better than the Sox or a team that traded with the Sox. You go silent when the stats don’t prove your point. Aren’t you the same poster who said in the past that the James Shields trade wasn’t that bad because the Padres signed Tatis Jr. to a big extension and then he got injured and the Sox wouldn’t have been able to afford him anyways? I remember it being the dumbest water carrying defense of one of the worst trades in Sox history.

Ortiz looks better than expected but by the time the Sox are ever good again, he’ll be closer to 30. Ortiz turns 26 in a week. DL Hall and his 2+ WHIP is dog dookie. No thanks. He’s a bust.
