A few days old, but good reason to bump this thread:

And god help us if Thorpe needs Tommy John. When Getz's one definitive win on the trade market is a 24-year-old AA reliever (Anthony Hoopii-Tuionetoa), that doesn't bode well for the future.

The White Sox fanbase only knows Monkey's Paws.

I can agree with this.

It was at 1 PM game on a Wednesday, which is a day people with hybrid schedules often go into work.

And yet he still wasn't the dumbest Park of that trade. Preller getting Getz to take back Wilson instead of prospects was a pure fleece.

Well you see, Getz acquired one vs. developing one. It makes all the difference.

I'm like...50-50, in large part because there's no international draft. Nothing is stopping the Sox from giving Juan Soto that extra $100K other than Jerry. But at the same time, small market teams get those competitive balance picks. I think the best route would have been an NBA style draft limiting how far a team could fall based on record + if you want to punish large market teams like they do now, no competitive balance picks anymore.

And a stolen base!

Holy s%*#, Luis had non-HR RBI.

He is still not a good hitter. But Pedro was also "trying to win" or some s%*#. I just treated him harshly in regards to his defense. But, to be fair, he was often playing center between statues.

At this rate, he'll be wearing the black alts by the 4th inning.

I've been burned by too many hot streaks.

As someone that roasted Fletcher non-stop in his first few MLB stints, when the f*** did he become 2016 Adam Eaton?

The MLBTR article of these moves reads like a roast of De Los Santos and the Sox.

Can't wait to get those prospects for Wilson to complete the Cease deal.

Sunday games are now Bananaball.

Fine, here's my compromise: If a team pinch hits before their opponent's starter exits, they lose the position. Get ready for some crazy ball.

New rule: No 100 mph pitches cause analytics says faster pitches go brrrr

Chris Getz and company at work

One day, the Sox will upgrade to Windows 2000 and half their scouts will lose jobs.

Marco Paddy is the next goal post.

Tommy Pham needed playing time so they could basically get nothing in return for him.

McCarthy (2.7 fWAR), Bart (1.1 fWAR) and Robles (1.1 fWAR) would each qualify as the best hitter on the Sox this year. Take them instead of Fletcher, Maldonado and Julks and maybe you're not staring down the barrel of being the worst of all time. Hell, maybe having just three non-god awful bars in the lineup lifts all boats from the ocean depths.
