Robbie Grossman traded to TEX for RHP Anthony Hoopii-Tuionetoa

[Sleepy Harold]

 

[Buehrle>Wood]

0 era in 12 innings in AA with 11.7 so/9. Sure he's nobody but how did we get literally anyone for Grossman

[Dick Allen]

This guy might not work out, but signing Grossman accomplished something. 

[T R U]

Hey a trade that makes sense, amazing.

[Big Hurtin]

An actual person, not cash? ?

[Quin]

We're taking a stand against fanatic's small names on jerseys.

Also, good job Getz getting a warm body for Grossman 

[RibbieRubarb]

I would have preferred Pham...being in Dallas. 

[PaleAleSox]

Guy has pretty good numbers. I'll take it.

Guy sounds like he should be a defensive back at Southern Cal. 80-grade name.

[Bob Sacamano]

wtf

[Milkman delivers]

LOL please make the team so we get to hear the announcers butcher that name.

[ChiSox59]

Sure.  Getting a guy who might contribute to the Sox bullpen yet this season for Grossman is a win. 

Wonder who gets the newly opened roster spot. 

[Bob Sacamano]

All in favor of referring to him as "AH-T" (or AHT), say I. I will never spell that name right.

Any DFA potential claims out there?

What 36 year old sub-Mendoza all glove guys are still out there?

[Harold's Leg Lift]

A 30 year old who won't bring back anything!  LOL

[Rusty_Kuntz]

They are setting up that Birmingham Barons championship run, getting ready for the 2025 marketing campaign. "Boys from B'Ham" or the like. 

 

I'm sure Schriffin will discuss how great this move is when the Sox go down 5-0 again tonight. 

[Timmy U]

He's a former 30th rounder who will turn 24 this year. Not a bad flyer for a guy who literally no one (including Texas) wanted to sign this off-season.

He’s gonna have to fight Pham to get 28 back. 

Just take 12, Zach.

Why trade for them when you draft them.

Somehow I don't think good organization really trade treasure for trash.   I'm a skeptic until we see them in the majors.

That seems to be the trend of other small markets by signing cheap veterans for trade pieces.

decent chance his prorated amount was worth more than the guy they just acquired. We just saw some teams trade cash considerations for sox prospects, so this isn't that interesting to me or worth applauding.
