Kopech is so damn fragile. Wasted talent.

We got very minimal bang for that trade, considering we traded arguably  the best pitcher in the AL at the time.   Doesn't matter Sale's health after the fact, which many people like to argue.

All that matters is Sale’s first 3 years, which is what the Red Sox traded for. With the dust settling, not a good a trade.

Let’s never forget that a Kopech who is often injured and who struggles with his command was one of the likely results of how the White Sox treated him.

Guy hasn’t pitched competitively in 2 and a half years. The last time he was out, he struggled with command until July, it took him nearly 100 straight innings as a starter to find good control. In June he had a game where he walked 6 I think, then he cut that walk rate a ton in July.

This profile says the guy needs innings, repetition, in a lower stress setting like AAA. if he doesn’t get them, the risk is he will struggle with control and with health, but hey maybe you get that precious middle relief. And now? He struggles with exactly those things, who could ever have seen that coming?

When you make a lot of decisions that could sacrifice 2023 to make your 2021 team better, you can’t be all that surprised when some of those moves turn out to actually hurt your 2023 team.

Yep, part of my point in the other thread. Crochet in the same boat.

Romy a big loss due to his flexibility and superiority over players like Andrus or even Frazier. Not that it matter at this point with Sox sellers, but hope he can finish the season here, and return at least as a solid flexible reserve player who can adequately cover the middle infield and OF corners.
