Regardless of what return package we as fans want, there is no doubt that Getz should be saying to all three interested teams, or if there are more, submit your best final offers. There is no more selling higher on Cease than after tonight. He just had a nasty start with 8 strikeouts in 3.1 innings, he’s healthy, he still has a full two seasons of control, and multiple teams have starter injuries/needs. There should be zero reason Cease makes another start for the Sox. Period. Avoid any slight chance and risk of poor performance and more importantly, a disastrous injury. If Cease pitches for the Sox again, Getz will have royally focked up.

Head is amazing no matter where it comes from.

George Ofman… Bruce Levine’s twin brother who also never breaks any baseball news whatsoever.

And what about free swinging Duran?

If Getz even wants a player like Duran, this rebuild is focked.

No surprise that McDorkey thinks this is a great return for Cease.

Yuck, hope this isn’t true. Getz needs to up his expectations on what a good position player is.

If we aren’t getting a single top 25-50 prospect, I would want a bit more quantity of lesser but still good quality prospects: Walcott, Porter, Leiter, and Foscue.

Moustakas and Maldonado with solo shots. 8-1 Sox.

Not only will he, but I’m sure Grifol is doing some advanced mathematics on his roster to squeeze in Sheets as well.

The Yankees sure do seem to think Spencer Jones will be the next Mantle / Judge so it doesn’t seem like they will give him up. I think they would sign or trade for another starter before giving him up if Getz demands him.

I wonder what the reports will be about team scouts at this game tonight.

You read my mind.

Cease’s final line: 3.1 innings, 2 hits, 1 earned run (solo shot by Jonathan India), 1 BB, 8 strikeouts. With the newly rumored trade interest in Cease, Getz is nuts if he lets him start another game in a White Sox uniform.

Negative.

0-3 and 3 strikeouts tonight. He’s been awful all spring.

Man, we all just missed something we will never see in the regular season due to this game not being televised… Back-to-back walks by Maldonado and Lopez. ?

Cease wants to be a Yankee. ?

Benintendi singled and Robert homered. 4-1 Sox.

I wouldn’t, but damn would another 2 to 3 strikeout scoreless inning would be nice to shove in the faces of the interested teams (Yankees, Rangers, etc.).

5 Ks in 2 innings. Nice showcase. This better be Cease’s last start in a Sox uniform.

Cease gave up a solo shot to Jonathan India but he also struck out another 3 in that inning!

Trade value rising at a guaranteed rate.

This is true and Thome was great for the Sox, but it was most definitely more about Kenny hating Frank at the time. https://www.espn.com/mlb/news/story?id=2345972 https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/sports/frank-thomas-mending-relationship-with-white-sox/2093312/?amp=1
