I hope the White Sox are melting down and Getz realizes he was asking for too much. 

Someone at pale Sox talk hilariously suggested Cease should be worth 1.5 or 2 times this package. Others have said Getz overplayed his hand.

Burnes was the guy I wanted all along.

Wells to the bullpen is like a good trade in itself.

I think we were all pretty big on Hall this year. Sometimes you have to make tough choices and if they think they can get 60+ innings out of Irvin or someone else in the pen then I get it. I do hope they add another relief pitcher as well.

Yeah I like the deal overall, just think there is a clear need for quality relief innings now and not entirely sure how they are covered if not from outside the org.

We now have a top 5 rotation in MLB.

What kind of Years/$$$ do you think he gets in Free Agency?

That will probably be answered once Snell signs

I just looked..one person said maybe the Os will still get Cease and then people were questioning if he had the balls to do it.  Lol

 

I know everyone is biased … but they were NEVER getting anything close to what they wanted from us lol

This is their Verlander trade. What a motherf*cking week to be an Os fan

You know it’s a good deal when SG is dropping f-bombs and making dirty jokes about his wife!

What a couple of days. It's almost like the sports Gods decided that the Ravens loss must have been the offering they needed.

Corbin Burnes without giving up one of the top five prospects? Yes please!!!

Corrected: One year not two. Still love it.

Man, I love this trade.  I'll be rooting for Ortiz and Hall.  But we traded from the surplus of infielders, Hall is far from a sure thing, and we kept all of our big time prospects.  A one-two punch of Bradish and Burnes is awesome.

The comp pick is a wash since we'll get one when Burnes leaves anyway.

Hoping we didn't give up the farm.

We have too much farm for that…lol

I hope Snell doesn’t come back to the division but I’m afraid the Yankees might strike back here.

Two years of Corbin Burnes without giving up one of the top five prospects? Yes please!!!

One year..but still

Can’t wait to see the White Sox board melt down over this

I love it teaches the White Sox what you get for screwing around. This a fair deal considering the price.
