Or said for that matter. This is the guy who thinks finishing 3rd or 4th doesn't mean it was a bad year.

Getz was the cheap in house option that didn't require an 88 year old man to engage in a deep search for a new baseball operation. Getz didn't play him, he's the perfect hire for what JR wants.

Tampa always seems to know when to get out though, so well see.

Crochet wants an extension to pitch in the playoffs
T R U replied to southsider2k5's topic in Trade Winds 2024
I agree on DeJong, I wouldn't be surprised at all if he isn't even moved. Pham though is a really nice platoon option against lefties and is cheap, and with the White Sox being open for business so early in the process im a little surprised he hasn't been moved ahead of deadline day. I guess there's still today, but you get my point. -

Sure, not as a primary target. They should be cheap which is attractive to a lot of teams who can't realistically go after the bigger fish either because they can't afford it or just don't want to. Ill stand by my stance that its alarming that nothing has been done with a little over 1 day remaining. I don't expect Crochet or Robert to move at this point. -

This team has been out of it since April. The fact that nothing has been done with some of these guys is alarming. Its probably a combination of no one wanting our shitty players and Getz just not being good at his job. I can understand not moving Crochet and Robert right now. Fedde & Kopech, im not sure what the hold up is dialogue on these players should have been started a while ago. I don't expect anything worth a s%*# for any other player on this team, but even guys like Pham and DeJong probably should have already been jettisoned in the last week. -

No kidding. Especially Crochet, from the off season where he pretty much demanded to be a starter to now seeming calling all the shots with his workload management and then finally this contract stuff. The deadline is tomorrow, there is zero chance all these deals get done by then. This is the cherry on top of the s%*# sundae of the 2024 season. -
It's ridiculous really. There is no professional sports organization that would allow this to linger for as long as it has. I understand that Grifol is most likely getting fired at the end of the season, but there is literally no reason at all he hasn't been fired yet. They have to pay him regardless, and the interim manager is already on the payroll. Its not costing any extra money. To just let this rot all season is doing far more damage.

I agree. Nothing they have done has given me any confidence they’ll handle this right. -
I think you can forget about Crochet and Robert moving. I’m also getting concerned about Fedde since they went ahead and pitched him last night and already said they had no problem keeping him for next year. This is going to be one disappointing deadline.

Fedde pitching tonight is on par for this brain dead organization. -
It’s wild to me that these guys all thought this team would be better than last year by just making some defensive changes and here we are 50+ games under .500 and we’re still in July. Yikes.

So basically, not s%*# lol
-
DeJong is a 0.0 WAR sub .700 OPS player.. were not getting s%*# for him
-
Really? I think he looks completely disinterested. Much like the end of last year when this season was long over.
-
He's a really good pitcher that should still be in the White Sox rotation. He's not, and the only reason for that is because the Sox wouldn't pay him what hes worth. It's the same reason were about to lose Crochet as well. Like I said, it sucks.

Who gives a f*** about the city and fans? That's what we've been taught anyways. -
Did you watch it? I tuned in on MLB TV mid celebration and its just like, he would be our ace and the only reason he isn't is because the owner has no desire to pay people high level money. It sucks.

hes trying to protect himself and his financial future. -
Honestly, I think he just has no interest in playing for this shitty team.
-
Not gonna lie, I feel sick to my stomach watching him celebrate with the Padres.

Completely disagree, but I guess were about to find out. -

This is a little differernt of a situation though. Im sure there is a limit he has for the amount of innings he was to pitch this season. If he gets to that cap, you're basically asking him to compromise his health for the benefit of only the team.
