Doing background research on players from other teams would be an example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Chris Getz probably discovered recordings that Rick Hahn had in his office. Just like Nixon during the Watergate scandal. That's how he figured it out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, your fans are the ones calling Elias names, wishing the Os ill will, etc..because he won’t take it up the ass in a deal for Cease. They seem to be the ones taking it personally As a fan, you should want everything you can get. I’m not blaming you for that but that doesn’t mean you (not you you but general you) are being realistic in what Cease should get back. Yea. I like our posters for the most part, but some of them are being petulant meatballs. You should see them in gamethreads. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What business is it of yours what White Sox fans want in return for Cease? Realistic or not, that’s what it is. Not your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistic or not, that’s what it is. Not your problem. That’s fine…I don’t care. But you guys don’t have any issue saying it’s dumb if an Os fan wants to trade no more than Norby, Povich and Wagner for cease right? So, if you are ok with saying Os fans are being absurd (and trust me, I agree that some are), why wouldn’t you be ok with the opposite?

Chick Mercedes Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) 30 minutes ago, Sports Guy said: Right, so the whole idea that he’s waiting for one of those pitchers isn’t correct. And the whole idea that he hasn’t gotten a deal i say is unreasonable is also correct because, as you said, any reasonable person would make that trade. Nobody knows what is correct. And both fanbases are unreasonable. because both fanbases are always unreasonable in trade scenarios.

He has value, although not extensive. He’s not a throw in for cash considerations, he would add value to a trade if he were included.
