Fedde/Pham/$ to STL, Kopech to LAD, Miguel Vargas + prospects to Sox

[BigHurt3515]

No doubt the vet front offices of LA and STL took advantage of Getz.

[Timmy U]

I hate everything, but even in my wildest dreams it never occurred to me that they would ship out 3 guys, including a 2/3 starter with control, for this pile of garbage. There is not an mlb regular in our side of the deal at all. This is messed up.

Not historically bad, as you’re not trading away a superstar. 

Yeah, true.  But Fedde alone is worth Vargas and one of those guys.

Nope. Fedde, Kopech, and Pham all packaged together couldn't even get one top 200 prospect. LMAO. 

This is just a statement of how bad Chris Getz is at his job.

His statcast is pathetic. Well below average in everything except chase and whiff rate. Poor athlete, bat doesn't pop. Doesn't have a real position. HE SUCKS. My god, f***.

Getz traded for himself.

PCL minor league numbers.  He’s had almost a full season of plate appearances in the bigs and has been absolutely atrocious.

Well we don't have to denigrate his minor league numbers just because he was replacement level in the majors. His league-adjusted AAA stats have been fantastic. I've been around long enough to know that this is no promise of MLB production, but his sub-MLB track record is what it is: very strong.

[SoxAce]

Can we get Mark DeRosa as our GM? His trades were better than this mess.

[caulfield12]

There has to be a prospect or prospects coming from St Louis or it's the end of Getz as someone that anyone could reasonably defend.

For a return this bad shouldn't STL. Also have taken Bennintendi.

[bmags]

I don’t know. I kinda like Vargas. 

[DirtySox]

Truly befuddled at this return. Just how?

Even Benny being in the deal would have made up for the FV they didn't get.  Somehow they managed to get no future value AND still have Benny.

[southsider2k5]

It was a senior moment for Bruce.

 

[bmags]

Just a reminder his 80 PAs and all but that 108 wRC+ this year makes him the best offensive player on our team. He’s also fast and has a good arm. 
 

[BigHurt3515]

Only thing we had to look forward to was the trade deadline and Getz just gave up 3 of our trade chips for this?

Which one?  I like the idea of two Vargas's = a Vargi

[Squirmin' for Yermin]

I am fine with Vargas.... as a 2nd or 3rd piece.. We quite literally are missing a headliner in this deal lol

[Squirmin' for Yermin]

Was Getz still using the 2022 MLB Pipeline list?

[2Deep]

Tommy Edmans can get you a Near All Star pitcher for 1.5 years with minimal cost.  And you get a MLB proven hitter....

WTF just happened!!!!!!!

I think Doyle suggested he could get a look in CF?

Utility guy who can't play defense at any position? just going off what I've been reading from dodgers fans

Yep, everyone wants to rape Getz now in a trade for Crochet after this embarrassing return.
