Arby's Park let's go

This aged poorly. Glad they were able to keep their practice squad intact.

Wonder if the Ravens regret not trading for Cease

Aw man, now we got Baltimore Bros talking to each other on our board.

I say at this point just throw a scarecrow out there and see if that deters balls from going that way.

You're forgetting the third option of continuing to throw our DHs out in right field.

I mean it’s all pretty subjective by nature, so isn’t it likely that it’s both? Teams haven’t met the price because they think the price is absurd?

What is the “big nothing” you’re referring to?

Waiting for Sports Guy to drop in and tell us why it’s not happening

Relying on the Detroit Lions for a good playoff game is certainly a sentence.

Surprised to see greg posting over at the orioles hangout board. Either that or someone made a very accurate greg parody account.

No better time to do it than in his age 30 season ?

This thread has become a metaphor for the Sox in that you never quite know when you've hit the bottom.

But the Yankees seem to think so, which is all that really matters at the moment.

I'll be curious to see an early TDL candidates list once the offseason dust settles. Some names here are likely still relevant, but it's fairly outdated overall.

Yeah, I had Orioles tunnel vision there and thought you were assuming they specifically would be coasting to first place by the trade deadline. I forgot the list of suitors can/will look much different come July. I need more coffee.

I get it, but that assumes that a team would know ahead of time that they'll be in first place and/or won't need Cease until later in the season.

Not sure why you're leaving out June and July, but yes, having 4 months of starts of a good pitcher vs not having those 4 months of starts makes them more valuable.

I’ll save everyone the time and let you know that he was never on the Royals.

I'm so glad I'm not Getz because I have so much Cease trade talk fatigue that I'd just ask for a single crab cake in return at this point.

I'm beginning to feel that way too and I just hate taking that risk. Aside from the obvious injury risk, you basically need him to perform significantly better than 2023 to cancel out the value lost with each start he's not making for a potential trade partner. Can he do that? Of course. But it's something I'm hoping for rather than expecting.

Hi Brooks, can we do an AMA with you on here?

I know there's some logic and potential here, but as a jaded Sox fan I choose to lol that we're at the "Combine Two Guys To Make One Guy" stage of things.

Nah, he's being referred to as Madrigal 2.0 in this thread.
