Hello, Orioles fan here. It does seem like a blinking contest with the gm’s. Cease had a 4.58 era in 23 so the value is significantly less than one year ago. If you go back and look at similar trades in recent history, you will be surprised by the return. By the way, Yankees Jones is way over rated - Beavers is a much better prospect. Same age but Jones only played in A ball to boost his numbers. A package of # 51 prospect- Ortiz-ss , #95 prospect (Beavers-of or Norby 2nd/lf and two pitching prospects should be a good value point.
