Agreed, but he at least showed it may be possible with his stellar second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surprise there… The only thing scarier than @Harold's Leg Lift’s trade rumors is @TaylorStSox drinking a couple beers at night and accusing every other Sox fan of being racist and a bad Sox fan. 🤣 Some people call it "going to sleep." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you have said in the past that you’re the CEO of your own business, but I would venture to guess that you are full of sh1t. I’ll post my LinkedIn if you do the same and we can let SoxTalk decide who is full of sh1t. The funny thing is that only @Harold's Leg Lift has been pushing the idea of including Benintendi in trades of Robert and Crochet for salary relief. The majority on this board don’t want to make those trades because they know it will neuter the prospect return. Anyways, I’m actually surprised you aren’t accusing me of being racist as well, as that is your usual game. What do you say? Post your LinkedIn, bro. Wtf? 😆I didn't think the incel post would hit home like that. Sorry man. I run a paper route. It's about to take off. I feel it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When’s he’s not yelling at any poster who questions the talent of a Sox prospect, he accuses posters of being racist and calls them “incels”. He also likes to make fun of people for posting too much on a message board, yet here he is posting as well. It’s been his gimmick for some time now.

southsider2k5 Posted Saturday at 08:14 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:14 PM 4 hours ago, WestEddy said: If a sports writer actually "reported" a push to move Benny, even in a Crochet trade, I'd call that smoke. That doesn't seem like something somebody would make up, like so many trade rumors. However, it does feel like Getz thought there'd be more desperate interest in acquiring Crochet at the deadline, and could have floated multiple ideas, none of which came to fruition. That doesn't say to me that "Getz is definitely trying to package Benny with Crochet", but that doesn't make it clear he wasn't. I tend to see admins flogging the package rumor as them trying to whip up comments. I am not sure if it is worse that you would believe this, or that you would be playing right into our greedy hands.

SoxMachine was saying just shy of $60M, but they may have been missing some retained / dead salary. I would anticipate a final payroll in the $75M to $80M range, so perhaps we still add a veteran bat and reliever later on in the offseason. But outside of a Crochet trade and some smaller moves, I think the bulk of the roster is in place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those first round picks of Madrigal and Vaughan who were supposed to be can't miss picks are sure looking bad 5/6 years later.

Sox aren't trying to win which should be against baseball's rules. Sox should be FINED A LOT of money for disrespecting the game of baseball. The team has no plan and is not trying to win.

Nothing you say about throwing money at problems will help. This situation is what it is, you keep suggesting the same stupid things that will never happen and the rest of us are merely hoping that someone will draft or sign someone internationally that can possibly be competent for the entire short tenure with the major league club before they are deemed too expensive every time you do that stupid “just win, baby” it’s like you are standing in front of a car with no engine telling it “just drive, baby”.
