WhiteSox2023 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) I’m upset because this means @Balta1701 is likely gone for another year. Remember how there were questions about how Clevinger could have been traded in 2023 but some posters argued that his $4 million dollar buyout was preventing teams from having interest in him, rather than his off-the-field issues? Well, it is now the third year in a row and literally no other team will touch this guy but the Sox. I think we officially know the answer now. This douchebag is now 34 years old. He brings zero upside for a 100 loss team. Even if he actually pitches well rather than getting injured yet again, no other team wants his ass. Clevinger is just another sh1t-stain besmirching this bottom of the barrel organization. He is the load of barnacles that get stuck to a boat, that the boat owner can never scrape off successfully. Getz truly is a grade A jackass. It’s too bad he isn’t obsessed with actual good players, just cheap old vets and jagoffs like this. Getz should be working on acquiring Canario, not this waste of DNA. Edited February 21 by WhiteSox2023 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Quintana just turned down the Pirates latest contact offer so they signed Andrew Heaney for $5.25 million instead, so I am guessing Quintana wants more that that kind of money which the Sox aren’t offering.

PaleAleSox Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 This has to be that minority owner flexing what little muscle he has. It’s the only thing that sort of makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he should grow a fucking sack and cut off this twisted family and friends with benefits deal. We aren’t trying to sign Machado again and the minority owner can find another buddy in Chicago to party with instead of dbag Clevinger.

Expand Exactly, they continue to alienate what remains of a small fan base and in a few years no one will care if they decide to leave Chicago. A little bit of me still cares but it continues to dwindle. Edited February 21 by The Mighty Mite 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Disregarding everything that everyone thinks about him as a person, this guy has literally stolen 2 season of pay from this organization and gave us 28 games and like a 5 era.

WHAT IS THE DRAW HERE Expand With moves like this one has to be really concerned with Getz and his modus operandi. IMHO the guy is a disaster and has no business being the GM of a MLB franchise. I’m starting to despise him as much as Reinsdorf and Grifol. Edited February 21 by The Mighty Mite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same poster that always provided graphs facts background like Jay Cuda I guess. You go through all the trouble of casting out the so called bad apples from the 2022-23 25 man roster and THEN you disrespect your clubhouse and female fanbase by deliberately counting more controversy?

Even if you don’t care about the public blowback, there’s no upside. You can’t even flip this guy for anything.

Texsox Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 At one time, not that long ago, the Sox had a legacy of social justice achievements that landed them on the right side of history in the 20th Century. That will not be true about the 21st century. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just feels like if everyone is healthy, we have enough arms to have a full OD rotation, even after the Bush injury. Perhaps this just an insurance policy and the plan is to cut him prior to OD if no one important gets injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
