The more negative attention on Jerry, the better, keep losing ugly baby!

Went to the game today and my god this team is awful, is such a numb feeling going to the games now. It’s wild to me that an owner of not just one but TWO major league sports teams in one of the most passionate sports cities in the world can be so damn tone def, FFS just let someone else make this organization great. The SOB said David Eckstein is his favorite baseball player of all time, god I hate Jerry Reinsdorf.

The worst part about this is we’re gonna wake up tomorrow and Jerry Reinsdorf is still gonna be the owner of this baseball team.

It’s gonna be a White Sox X notification to break the news

Don’t know if posted already

Think it was James and another mentioned 2 of Kjerstad, Cowser, and Westburg.

Which IMO is why Getz won’t make a deal with the O’s now

And it’s not gonna go anywhere, Chris Getz is rightfully holding firm. Unless they’re giving up Basallo or Mayo for Jesus Luzardo, they’ll probably end up with a Shane Bieber or another lesser tiered trade target than Cease.

Nowhere in that article does it say “talks are heating up” with that being said he got a click outta me that I can’t take back now

Orioles will circle back of course and Chris Getz will turn them the other way around. I doubt Getz is gonna budge therefore a deal will not get done and that is perfectly fine with me. Should not settle for any less than Kjerstad and Westburg.

I’m stubborn so yes. That return would piss me off more than him leaving for nothing

Not if he has a solid first half, they’ll do much better than that. Hell look at what the Reds got for Tyler Mahle a year and a half ago at the deadline. They weren’t top 100 guys at the time but now are legit young major league contributors. I get why the Brewers took that deal but it was such an underwhelming return, I’d rather ride out Cease’s contract.

Good on Getz’ part then for holding firm. Good on Mike Elias for getting an ace with that underwhelming return.

I trust Josh Barfield on this one and like the move. No more Gavin Sheets or Oscar Colas. Also I’m probably in the minority here but I think Benintendi is gonna have a really good year this year and gonna shut some people up.

Good on Getz for not budging and standing his ground. Kjerstad and Westburg would have been the exact return needed to give up on 2 full seasons of a Cy-Young Candidate to ignite the “re-tool”. Good on Mike Elias for finding a better deal. That’s why he’s built, arguably, the most talented organization in baseball

They have him for 2 full seasons. If he was a FA after this season, maybe. But if Cease can remain healthy, and doesn’t regress, which again I’m pretty confident in him having a solid season, Getz will get a haul for him come the deadline when more than half the league is looking for starting pitching, let alone, beyond half a seasons worth of control. Cease is worth more than Joey Ortiz, DL Hall, and a Colton Cowser who may have not even been on the table, I think @Y2Jimmy mentioned Elias balked at a similar offer at the deadline

Getz only overplayed his hand if Cease either gets hurt or regresses. Cool with him not budging and remaining firm on his price.

Probably wasn’t much better than what the Brewers got for Burnes. I highly doubt Kjerstad was on the table. And that’s the main piece I would have needed back in return

Haven’t read the thread, commenting on the topic name, Pedro Grifol stinks.

It’s only a blow if a deal was actually close for Cease which seemingly it never was. I’m sure Getz knew what was available, good on him for not budging. I get most of us wanted a RF and 2B to kickstart this “re-tool” and the O’s assuming they were ready to play ball and go hard after Cease made a ton of sense, the Sox aren’t a RF and 2B away from winning a division. Let Cease cook with a better game caller and better defense behind him and let the contenders (O’s included) come calling at the deadline. Good on the O’s for fleecing the Brewers.

There will always be an offer on the table for Cease that is better than the one the O’s gave up fo Burnes. Once Cease pitches the 1st half of the season like a Cy Young candidate, plenty of teams will come calling still.

Cool with me, that return is incredibly underwhelming.

Especially if they lose out on Montgomery.. Heyman is on at 2pm CST on that Bleacher Report app, fully expecting him to say that Dylan Cease may or may not be traded

If only the owners would agree to a floor lol.

Maybe it’s just me, and maybe there’s more to it, but little things like Michael Lorenzen who is coming off a pretty solid year being forced to have to throw a bullpen session for interested teams tells me how much penny pinching is going on in baseball. The MLB offseasons continue to just suck.
