JoeC Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Not a bad trade at all. Guy has 3 options remaining, to boot, per Fangraphs. Doesn't change the overall outcome of the offseason, but it's a nice needle-nudger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCsoxfan Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Not bad. I initially thought they traded for a German guy 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The baseball bat axe thing is pretty sweet tbh https://instagram.com/denlinger_forge?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= In reality it is a trade that could be a nightmare. Theo was one of those metrics picks. They LOVED his spin rates. Then he had a TJS, so it will be interesting to follow him and see how he comes back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I love how some posters want so bad to be mad about this. Lol. German was BoSox minor league pitcher of the year in 22. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it is, it's a good move. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colome's Hat Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 This is a good move and quite frankly, this is how resources should be used to complete the bullpen. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Interesting reaction from Red Sox fans. More head scratching, but not many rueing the loss of German. Good counterpoints. https://www.sonsofsamhorn.net/index.php?threads/sox-trade-franklin-german-to-white-sox-for-theo-denlinger-rhp.38709/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) Marketing department missed opportunity, lol…could have had forges/foundries lined up as giveaway day/night sponsors. Honestly thought it was Domingo German to add starting depth. Edited February 3, 2023 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi8is Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Hopefully we can unlock what he’s got and find a useful pen option. Kid got bombed in 4 short innings last year with the Red Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasttriptotulsa Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 This one kind of saddens me as Denlinger and I went to the same high school, tho a decade and a half apart. A friend of mines daughter is married to Theo's brother. Shortly after Theo was drafted I met him at my local tavern and talked to him for quite awhile regarding the draft process and the things the White Sox instructed him to work on and things like that. It was quite interesting. I was really hoping he would make it with the White Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Sox signed Chris Shaw to a minor league contract. Basically a 29 yr old who's played Indy ball the last couple years. LH 1st base, LF and RF guy. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=shaw--000chr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
