1. Someone tell me how to feel about this

2. I don’t understand this one. We have no one to play OF. We have a bunch of infielders.

3. oops – all infielders!

4. Underwhelming. Need OF depth.

5. This is essentially just giving him away.

6. Soooo are we signing some guy 5 years past his prime to play center?

7. A crushingly mid return because Jerry didn’t want to pay him. That’s what I get for being remotely excited about this team

8. I guess its going to random guys off the street playing outfield again. Oh joy.

9. This just flat at hurts. I love Robert. I watch alot of mets games being in CT and saw Acuna coming up. He is not that good. If Robert had something to play for he would have been a beast. It sucks being a whitesox fan!

10. Horrific trade

11. Neat

    Edit: should have been at the deadline

    Edit edit: should have traded him after 23

12. So we got a short infielder and a mid bullpen arm. cool

13. Getz probably had to agree to get rid of him before the season in order to sign Murakami and this was the offer.

14. I get it! we are making room to sign Cody Bellinger

15. Cool I guess… sucks he fell off, as with all the 2016-2021 rebuild players. But who on this roster is even getting paid at this point other then Beni? Our payroll has to be like 25 million. We’re like the anti-Dodgers lmao

16. oh my fucking god are we deadass right now

17. Really good return for Robert. Think a lot of people here overrate Robert’s current value

18. This outfield is unacceptable at the major level. Full stop. This trade sucks

19. Fire Chris Getz into the sun.

20. Don’t worry – we can promote Konnor Griffin this year! Getz was smart enough to draft him, right???

21. 

22. I’m good with this. Acuna is young and can develop. He’s a different type of player than Luis, but that is ok.

23. Please, for the love of all that is holy, can everyone stop spending money on this fucking team. It’s time to hit Jerry where it hurts the most, his bank account. Stop giving this geriatric douchebag your hard earned money.

24. Mets fan here… don’t get too upset White Sox fans. Luisangel Acuna had a 4HR game this past week in Venezuela winter ball.

25. We gotta sign harrison bader.

26. So theyre gonna move vargas to the outfield?
