  1. A multi-BILLION dollar industry and they can’t get a working radar gun for Spring Training?
  2. Had we signed Yonder Alonso we might have had a better shot at Whit.
  3. I hope he gets another chance to pitch in some meaningful games. His competitiveness needs fed!
  4. We’re going to need designated hitters for most of our position players.
  5. I just also hope this deal doesn’t lower the bar as far as returns are concerned. “Burnes only returned “x” so we’re not going as high on Cease…”
  6. 1. I would have been pissed if this was the return on Cease. 2. This might force NYY or BOS hand.
  7. Probably right! Or it makes it easier to sell a team…”sell the rumor, buy the news.” Time will tell I’m sure.
  8. Maybe they should build a team before they build a stadium?
  9. Ok good. It was in this thread that I was instructed to believe that great players are NEVER blocked. Maybe that just meant great Orioles players are never blocked! 😂. It only happens to the other mortal teams!
  10. I was once told that great players were never blocked. I’m looking forward to seeing the O’s start multiple players at certain positions on any given night.
  11. Agreed. You want a young, cheap, team-controlled TOR starting pitcher with ace potential to step in THIS YEAR? That’s a big ask—who wouldn’t want that?? Converting some prospects that are stuck behind layers of MLB depth—who have about a 10% chance of becoming as good of an MLB contributor as Cease—is a no brainer. Deal should have been done in November. If the Sox were knocking on the door of a serious contending window—watched a division-rival team land another superstar player and SP depth this offseason, had a young player with major star potential at both left side infield positions and more infield strength in the system, were sitting on a starting pitching staff of 2 quality options and some big question marks a month away from pitchers and catchers reporting…who here wouldn’t be willing to keep Colson Montgomery and move a package led by a guy like Jacob Gonzalez to land a Spencer Strider/Zac Gallen for the next 2 years?
  12. If the Sox were smart—they wouldn’t go after any players from Baltimore and instead try to acquire the guys in charge of drafting and developing Baltimore’s prospects. That would likely pay off more in the long run. Give a guy a fish/teach a guy to fish…
  13. Yeah I mean not to over simplify it—but there are 2 paths to acquiring a TOR SP who can immediately step into your rotation. You can commit to a 9-figure contract to snag a top FA or you can throw a similar value in prospects at it instead. Either way—the cost to obtain what Cease is, is very high and there’s no way around that. It is what it is.
