Texsox Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 So from what I can tell he is represented by https://acesincbaseball.com/about My guess is Getz is trying to maintain relationships with a top agency. Still makes for a really, really, bad signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be terrible. Expand You're kind of correct. I wouldn't care if they signed Bozo to play SS. It would probably be on a minor league deal. Clevenger's a POS, and I hate the signing. I won't post everyday that I hate Getz for signing him, but I don't like it. I also get tired of the a-holes who think it's funny to pretend Clevenger was "completely exonerated". He wasn't. I hope he tears his rotator cuff on his first throw, and that's the last we see of him. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine this is a sop to the limited partner who parties with Clevenger. It has no effect on Getz's work on the organization. I'm out of town, and really don't want to argue with people who think it's funny to pretend that an abused woman is a liar, just because. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorStSox Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I never understood why it pains you guys to find out after years of investigations that Clevinger's baby's mom was gold digger that got caught. It happens to pro athletes all of the time. The covid angle is legit though. In all seriousness, that was bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrockway Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) Wasn’t it posted about on this board that Clev is buds with one of the failson minority owners? That’s the only logic I can see as to why he constantly has a job with this org. Something changed with ownership specifically in the recent past, it used to be “high character guys” to a fault for both the Bulls and Sox. Clevinger and Giddey would not be on these teams a decade ago I feel. Maybe neither one of those guys did what they’re accused of, but there’s clearly something there, and they have a reputation that other teams refuse to deal with. It’s like, the Reinsdorf teams are garbage anyway, and then they acquire guys you really don’t want to root for who don’t even begin to move the needle. What’s the point? To piss us off? They didn’t want south side hit man posting on soxtalk anymore? it’s sort of like that Deshaun Watson signing blowing up in Cleveland’s face. It’s funny it didn’t work, karmic perhaps, but then he’s still getting paid like a hundred million dollars. Sox are entering Browns territory, maybe they’ve already been there and I’m just a naive homer. Edited February 21 by nrockway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand the investigation sent him to anger management. and he went willingly. so after all the interviews there were findings; it wasnt exoneration. here's basically how Bauer and Clevinger differ: neither was proven to have done something that would take you to jail, but Clevinger kept his mouth shut. Bauer was too stupid and too proud of his youtubing to stay quiet, so he talked about the legal sordid s%*# he DID do, and no team ever wanted him after that. Cost himself a ton of money.
