The whole argument is basically whether he is worth 2 Top 100s (or equivalents for young players who graduated) or 1 Top 100. Balta believes the latter. If the Rangers return is true then Balta would be right but that just seems unlikely in this market.

Snelling would be a very good main piece if NYY is still playing games.

Balta NERVOUS!

Balta gave me a contrary report and so this is bullshit.

I read somewhere (maybe Heyman) that we wanted "one and a half times" the Burnes return. If Burnes got 36m SV, we want 54m SV. For reference, this would be approximately Jones (34) plus Hampton (16). I can't imagine that Rangers package would be anywhere near 54m SV.

You're being overly generous. The Rosenthal Rangers package is hot garbage.

That's fucking weak.

Good because the names Rosenthal mentioned tonight for Rangers are underwhelming.

So Cease is out now right? Dude shouldn't start again in ST. Go out on top and take no more risks.

Dammit

Thank God

Pull him now. Forget about the damn 4th inning. 7 Ks in 3 IP...awesome. Jones AND Hampton AND Lalane!

Nice

Don't even bring him out for the 3rd.

Dude has great communication skills, tho. Just ask him

#91 on FG....RHH....far from MLB. No. And the rest of the package doesn't matter much if they are all going to ve worse than the headliner. If other teams don't want to make serious offers just keep holding him.

Sigh...

Harold.....rough odds on deal being completed prior to Cease scheduled start tonight?

Pal please give us a morsel or two.

A single Top 100 plus more is weak. No.

Balta NERVOUS!

Don't let Cease pitch tonight

Balta...they are knee deep in tax territory already and Hal cares about budgets unlike his father. Whatever offer they make to one of the two FAs, it's basically double with the tax.

Disagree. NYY lacks leverage here. Unless they are willing to pay a ton of money and tax, they are stuck, especially if Martino's report is right about other teams having superior offers.

Go on, Harold...
