He thought it would be a done deal, especially with them signing on the Friends and Family plan. With that stated, they played games with the money which you don't do with a HoF in the prime of their career. Expand Manny Machado is not a HOF. But yes, the way we negotiated that contract was hilariously inept. Edited July 29, 2024 by Chisoxmb35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted July 29, 2024 Share Posted July 29, 2024 Sox have been selling longer than any team but have gotten nothing done. This means one or two things: 1. Getz has no idea about market value (similar to hahn) and has overplayed his hand badly. 2. The Sox have no idea what to do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted July 29, 2024 Share Posted July 29, 2024 (edited) Via Rosenthal. Quote The White Sox are now positioned to move Garrett Crochet after agreeing to send Erick Fedde to the Cardinals in a three-team deal involving the Dodgers. Crochet was on the “back burner” while the White Sox worked on the larger trade, according to a source briefed on their discussions. That’s not to say Crochet will be dealt. Because he figures to be unavailable for the postseason, some in the industry believe his trade value this winter will be just as high, given his two additional years of club control. Expand Can't wait for this trade after the Fedde fleecing. Edited July 29, 2024 by DirtySox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted July 29, 2024 Share Posted July 29, 2024 On 7/29/2024 at 5:02 PM, GREEDY said: Let's pretend Crochet is serious about an extension that would make sense for both the club and the player. The Sox COULD offer an extension along with Garrett controlling precisely how much more he wants to throw this year and next which could theoretically be way less usage than any contending team would push for. Sox are about the only team that could justify paying him and babying him for another year (other suitors would presumably be trying to win in 2025). Maybe there is significant excess value to both parties in that situation. Expand I said it a few days ago, a somewhat competent team being aware of their situation would try and front load a contract for Crochet, giving him his money now and having the last 2 years of his 5 year contract backloaded so they would have resources available to compete in 2027-2028. But we know that won't happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
