I don't think we'd be receiving the same package at the deadline if we held onto him. This deadline was bonkers. With any other GM, I think we drastically improve on the deal now vs what we did then, assuming similar performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There didn't see to be any player on Drew Thrope's level traded today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snell was many spots ahead of him in the same system. I believe LAD also dealt their #3 guy for lesser players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a shocker Jerry has not figured out that by putting a shitty product on the field will drive fans away. This isn’t the bulls, if he got his head out his ass and put a watchable competitive team out there year in and out the fans will come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Soxfan Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Am I crazy to think, or is it even possible, that Getz plays hardball with Crochet’s representation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snelling has a 6 ERA and 1.7 WHIP in 16 AA starts this season. He’s not in the same category as Thorpe at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been a heck of a lot better in the minors this season than Snelling! I will again caveat that I think the Fedde trade was a disaster (might need to put this as a permanent disclaimer).

DoUEvenShift Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 So do we think Crochet not being traded means that Getz wants to move him in the off season or is Getz hoping to sign him to an extension and build SP around him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Considering the weak return the Tigers got for Flaherty, I think it's good the Sox held on to Crochet. Now, don't let him get hurt for god's sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, don't let him get hurt for god's sake. I would have traded him but maybe the return was not good enough. But like you said, we better hope to hell his value does not decease when we try and move him in the off-season. I would have kept Robert though, in hopes his value goes up by next winter. It is a crap-shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 14 hours ago, fathom said: The sad thing is they put together this awful roster and then have to slash payroll because attendance is lower than they expected. You actually think one is separate from the other ? The awful roster is a result of JR slashing payroll and using Getz to execute his wishes. You may have kept telling everyone the franchise is losing money but how is it JR has so many big plans going forward with the whole planned partnership wih the Wirtz family to build his sport conglomerate with the Bulls and Blackhawks while preparing the Sox to be sold. This is all JRs I'll be exiting the world soon strategy for his heirs. He's smart enough to legally cook his books to show massive losses while at the same time funnel money into his projects. And you wonder why Getz get can't get any good trades done. He's not getting any good offers. The Sox are bleeding among a huge school of piranhas. Hire inexperienced GM to execute his plan and tell the world it's to expedient the return to competence. The whole time that was BS. The Reinsdorfs of the future will stricty own the Bulls. Just have to wait and see if baseball is really interested in keeping the franchise in Chicago as much as some seem to think. By the time this whole plan is executed the whole country may be in bigger economic turmoil more than it is now. The divide between the haves and have nots is deepening.

The Sox have done right by Crochet this year, and frankly, their misuse of him prior to 2024 did nothing but get Crochet closer to free agency. Sox honestly should just option his ass. Not like these games matter. They won't do it, but they should. It would only increase his value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falstaff Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 The obvious: Getz didn't have any leverage dealing Crochet after the extension comments. You have to make the best of the situation moving forward. What I would like to see happen is Getz extends Crochet or trade him in the spring. How about Sox give him 3 years at $65 million with a team option on 2028? Crochet will have his security and a free agent at 30 years old for one more contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude is on track to be a free agent at 27 with low mileage on his arm. If he stays healthy and pitching like this, he's in for a huge pay day.
