Chicago White Sox

Solid trade upon instant reaction

Getz focused on dumping money vs. adding talent

MLBN just absolutely shitting on us left and right.

Merkin for sure. He’s already got the tweet mocked up and ready to go at 5:01pm to ensure we don’t hope for another 20 minutes that Getz is a serious GM.

Which is shocking as his peripherals are good and he’s been one of the more dominant relievers since Jun 1st, yesterday not withstanding but at least he can alcohol to blame for that. Someone should be willing to give up a lottery ticket.

Getz can’t handle multiple trades at once though and you got to think he’s still discussing Crochet to some extent. Prove me wrong Getz!

Who this dude? Looks like he specializes in sports insidery and stock tips.

I’m ready for it but it’s absolutely devastating that we went from “the Sox will be running the deadline” a week ago to one big, bad trade and a minor nothing.

Jerry isn’t getting rid of Getz though and not taking advantage of this deadline is absolutely crazy.

Still time left technically…but I’m absolutely blown away by the lack of activity from Getz. Hopefully there is more coming, but right now he is officially the ultimate loser of the trade deadline.

And Brebbia. Both should be long fucking gone!

Please god…don’t give me false hope

Rays and Marlins putting Getz to shame this deadline

Probably because Getz saw all the ridicule from the Fedde trade and is now going to overreact in the opposite direction.

And what is the latest they are saying now?

@DirtySox - Did not mean for that to come off as aggressive if it did

I know what Discord is, I just don’t know why we think it has insider info.

Who are the fringe insiders you refer to? Please don’t tell me it’s that footlongcomiskeydog clown.

Because when you have a precious asset, you dictate when it goes to market and teams either participate in the bidding process or risk missing out on it altogether.

What in the world is Sox discord?

DeJong was intended to be short-term placeholder for Montgomery and he was paid like it. Your beef should be with Nicky Lopez not Paul DeJong.

They clearly signed this guy as cheap placeholder for Montgomery. He wasn’t intended to be someone who would return a lot once moved and his $1.75M salary reflects that. I’ve been a huge critic of Getz, in particular how he’s wasted considerable at-bats on low upside or bad players, but I can’t criticize the DeJong signing or this particular trade.

He didn’t really his own in the majors this year though. That wRC+ is a total mirage if you believe the Statcast data.

What move are you referring to?

The problem isn’t the player himself (assuming their evaluation is right), but that Getz paid for him like we was still a top 40 prospect with 6+ years of control.
