So do I have permission to question Chris Getz ability as a GM now?

Just awful, especially included Kopech and Pham. https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/1817986222075400488

Umm, so yeah, this was something.

Ok, now the deadline is humming.

Fedde should headline with two top 100's or a bit higher and a bit lower. With the shine being off of Walker, I wouldn't call him at top 100 anymore.

I could be down for DePaula, Walker and others.

I like the sound of a "haul"

So one of the Dodges prospects plus Walker?

It could be something like being able to simplify their offerings and minimize their through process in the bullpen. It could also be their stuff just plays up that much more when not having to think about going 100 pitches.

That seems like a reasonable framework of a deal. It would have been nice to pull one more lower level lottery ticket kind of guy, but that isn't awful. And honestly, if it is the leading deal at this point, you probably take it.

I mean that's what I see. If you are saying "he wants to win" as in it is above all else, then absolutely not. If you are saying it as a thing on his list, sure. But isn't at the top fo that list.

He probably wants to win, it just isn't enough of a priority where he is willing to invest enough resources into it.

Victor Scott just screams like a guy Chris Getz would be targeting.

Who else was willing to pay Nicky Lopez $4.3 million?

If they were willing to include a roster player or two as a way to up the package and free up some roster space, we could be in business. A deal starting around Pages and/or Bobby Miller, and then back filling in with a guy like DePaula and others coudl be something to get the Sox attention.

Some awful contracts out there include Trevor Story, Patrick Corbin (though he is done at the end of 24), Javy Baez, Kris Bryant, and Anthony Rendon.

If they move Benny without any salary retention they have just over $30 million the books for 2025. Unless they plan on offering half of a billion dollars to Juan Soto, the idea that they need the cash needs to stop.

Yes.

Major failure and systemic holes in approach being exposed at the major league level, the specific skills of which the Sox have not been able to address in their own players.
