The Sox absolutely think they’ll get more than Fajardo for Booser. He’s 32 but he’s not even arb eligible and has 5 years of control and three options. I get it.

It’s not Tyler Schweitzer

John Ely is apparently leaving the organization to focus on his young family. That wasn’t really said.

Nah they'll go over. It's really hard to be that bad again.

Thaiss had a 100 wRC+ vs RHP last year and he’s really familiar with the coaching staff. It’s fine. Quero and Teel both need more time in AAA

Agreed. It's very weird. Results will ultimately be what matters but he's done a pretty solid job behind the scenes. Getz has made multiple really promising hires and has made a real effort to change the way things have been. Smart people have signed up to come here due to whatever his plan is. They have what looks to be a top 5 farm system and they were around 20 at this time last year. Getz isn't the hire that I would've made but saying he's in over his head right now just isn't an accurate statement. If that makes me a "Getz Lover" then I'll wear it I guess.

There's really no excuse. My guess is they'd say they couldn't trade it. Even if they were to say that they reallocated the money to something else (employees, technology, etc), they could still do that and trade the $$. If they trade $740K in international space, no money actually changes hands. You're literally just giving someone else the right to spend $740K more of their own money. It's pretty frustrating though.

I thought they were taking Arjun Nimmala if Blake Mitchell was off the board.

Media literacy is at an all time low in this country. Jesus christ, guys.

I listed him as the favorite in FutureSox Rule 5 Preview fwiw https://www.futuresox.net/2024/12/01/2024-chicago-white-sox-rule-5-draft-p/

Eric Adler isn’t rule 5 eligible

Where did Wittenmyer say that?

I'm trying to quote tweet replies but I can't click on anything with all of the pop ups.

I’d probably need Arroyo, Collier another piece and their Comp Round A pick to even consider a deal but in this market, that might be the best they can do.

Could be Grant Taylor
