fathom Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I like all the Red Sox offensive prospects, but if Getz really desires pitching in return, it’s a bad match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can convert guys you hope will someday be good into quality, controllable MLB pitching—you do it. You can take the chance the unknowns become good or you can guarantee they translate into valuable assets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A kid who sat in the upper deck in old comiskey wondering if Ivan Calderon could hit one up there. A kid who got to leave grade school early to see the first game at new comiskey! Who cherished his big hurt autographed card/ball he got at Sox fest. A kid who got to play on the field with other little leaguers! Who was bummed when the blue jays knocked them out of the playoffs. Who sat in the RF bleachers during the all star when Loaiza started. A college student who couldn’t watch the games but frustratingly followed them get beat by Minnesota late in the year in the early 2000s. Young adult who cherished my favorite team of all time, the 05 white Sox win the WS! An adult who emailed Rick Hahn before the “mired in mediocrity” press conference saying they were mired in mediocrity (coincidence?). An adult who has followed along the last decade but has lost interest due to Jerry’s incompetence and apathy. Again nobody cares when a single fan loses interest for good, but sayonara! You all are fun fans who are devoted and knowledgeable. I just can’t do it. You’ll be back when Jerry finally opens up the purse strings for a top free agent like Hahn promised!

They do and the Os drafted him as one but he’s not a CFer. He will be fine in RF or LF and he give you a spot start here and there in CF but he’s not a CFer.

No, it’s completely unreasonable and your consistent shots at Elias because he doesn’t want to get ass raped by your team is really old and pretty childish. And btw, just to clarify how I know it’s unreasonable..if anyone was offering a package like that or anything close to it, the deal would be done. In fact, we are hearing from a local Chicago writer that teams aren’t trading for Cease right now because the ask is too high. So yea, it’s completely unreasonable and the evidence that is true is overwhelmingly obvious.

I would say an even better package than the Orioles if guys like Mayo and Basallo are untouchable. A package headlined by Anthony and Teel would be amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I’m cocky about my team even though I have said I think they are a borderline playoff team right now and need another starter to be much more viable…and I’m worried about them carrying over success based on how they won many games last season. If you think that’s cocky, I don’t think you know what the word means. I am super confident what a ridiculous trade request is and I’m also super confident that a ridiculous trade offer hasn’t been offered or else the deal would be done. Do you think Getz is turning down deals that where they are offered multiple top 35 prospects?
