Gave him up for one bad year of Cam Booser. Definitely looks like a misstep for Getz right now.
Yeah this sucks but he’s also 19 so a lot can happen. Gotta develop consistent relievers in the future so we don’t have to keep bargain bin shopping and giving up any lottery tickets
Relievers are so volatile. Rick Hahn set the bullpen back years by not developing arms and using big spending in FA and trades to add to the bullpen. Just keep adding pitchers and it should be healthy
I worked for the Bristol Pirates in 2019. We had some guys that looked like they had good talent, and about a half dozen or so players that were Top-30 prospects for the Pirates.
Only one guy from that team ever reached the majors, and he wasn’t one of the top-30 guys. He’s also now out of the league over the gambling scandal (Luis Ortiz).
My point being, just because this guy is having glowing reviews right now doesn’t mean he’s guaranteed to be a star that the Sox traded away for peanuts. Hell, look at all the hype around Druw Jones and how his prospect rankings have dropped off a cliff.
Fernando Tatis Jr. is the exception, not the rule in these kind of trades.
