Is it ridiculous for us to think we can get Cease for Tyler Wells, Norby and Max Wagner?

Or any trade.

We understand but just because it’s what you want, doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. We just went through a rebuild and wanted the same thing. We all get it. We just don’t care.

Mayo is going no where. Mayo and Cowser in the same deal is a step above a pipe dream. You aren’t getting Mayo. Mayo was an absolute steal when we drafted him and he has done morning but tear up the minors at really young ages. He also likely can stay at third defensively but the O’s have the left side pretty covered.

That’s your absolute best case scenario for sure.

I could definitely see that.

It’s possible but it’s a big risk…but one that could pay off.

If he could stay in the IF, I think he would be more appealing.

Yea but they only have so many spots and Grissom was a guy rumored in a Cease deal. We had heard a rumor that the Braves interest in Cease was overblown anyway. I think it’s safe to say they are out on Cease but like I said, this could make the Red Sox more of a viable trade partner.

Really? So, they are out on Cease then. Have to think this could make Boston more viable.

Has a deal gotten done and I didn’t see it?

Hold out for for Meyer. I really could see the Sox moving him. I told @Chicago White Sox on our board before that I thought Meyer was the one highly ranked prospect I could see being moved because I think the Red Sox are just that desperate. Maybe they will sign Snell or Montgomery (I think Monty is A mistake but whatever) and alleviate some of their concerns but that’s a team I could see taking advantage of. I think the Giants could also be that team in the NL too.

I still feel the Red Sox are the team you guys may get to pay the most. It’s not a very smart org right now and they are desperate.

No, I said Mayo is too much.

It is annoying. I don’t disagree with you.

I mean, how many real Os rumors have there been? Seems like the most real rumor is the Reds. All we hear about the Os is that they are interested but not much beyond that.

Yea, he’s not an elite level prospect. He is possible although I would be surprised if Elias moved him.

You know that there are a lot of starting pitching options that have a far lesser salary than Cease right? You do comprehend that easy thought, correct? And I’m sorry, I have heard nothing on this board but Sox fans telling me what they will and will not take for Cease. I guess the WS are going with a GM by committee thing since you are all saying that?

And don’t forget WS fans with a total lack of ability to comprehend what is being said.

Just because you interpret things poorly doesn’t mean that’s what I’m saying.

You aren’t getting a top 20 elite level prospect.

The Os also have a luxury of knowing how to develop guys and they have a park that makes it easier to pitch in.

The Os have 1 guy rhat was a TOR arm last year and also really the second half of 2022. The have another guy who was one of the best pitchers in baseball for the second half of the season. Cease has been a TOR arm once in his career and has been a borderline 2/3 starter the rest of it. There are no sure things but the Os guys have been more recently and their trajectories are pointing up. You can’t say that about Cease. 2022 exists which is why teams want him. Take away 2022 and he isn’t close to fetching some of the names being discussed.

The teams in MLb would disagree with you.

No, Cease is a potential TOR arm.
