If Cease doesn't have value for a top 25 prospect ++ then you keep him and enable him to rebuild that value. Simple as.

The they're is the other teams though. Those other teams aren't interested. When he says has to make sense for both sides, it says to me the Sox, despite being desperate to get rid of him, can't even find a low bid.

Nah it's mental with him. He will fail perhaps even harder

Aka they're not interested

Everyone seemed to be connecting Quantrill to the Sox. Guessing Sox knew last night and pivoted.

This is a hell of a trade on paper. Pretty incredible they got 5 players for Bummer, at least 3 of them who could provide some value. Guess we shall see with Soroka though. Shuster seems like the true headliner; imagine he slots into the rotation right away.

My pick is a definite longshot that I mentioned in the other thread. Brian Barnhart who calls Illini football and basketball. My favorite PBP guy in all of sports. Used to do Angels games years. Has turned down other MLB work to remain in Champaign. He is a Sox fan though so maybe he'd consider, not that he'd ever be asked because he's not in the Jerry-sphere to begin with.

Yes please

Would really like to see if they can pull Brian Barnhart from Champaign. He's my absolute favorite PBP guy in all of sports and used to do Angels games years before the Illini. He's turned down other MLB jobs to remain there, but Sox would obviously be a closer pull. He's a Sox fan too.

And did he do that? Seems to me he just took on even more responsibility. Olympic year too he'll probably miss like all of July.

National jobs are largely worse than team jobs, unless you're the top of the top.

He was gone so much. I don't blame the Sox for this one.

Tim posted a nice tribute of his time here on his instragram. Luis Robert responded that he's his twin which Anderson responded that he loves him as a brother. Never got the impression at all that Luis, and TA alongside Hendriks and Giolito were ever the issues in the clubhouse but I know this board has made up their mind differently.

I think the only reason Katz is here is to entice Giolito. We shouldn't be basing anyone coach on a mediocre FA but that's another issue.

Even now the Sox just posted a 2 minute video with him. Still marketing the hell out of his time here. Did the same with Liam; him being a little more understandable that they let him go.

He's marketable because he's used in marketing campaigns. I didn't decide that, personally. Crying over flipping off opponent fans will never not be funny to me, still. Next were going to hear about how that man doesn't play the game right. Jose Ramirez probably did more damage to the whole marketable part than anything, but not sure if that's true.

Probably 0 chance of happening I realize but I'd love to explore a lower aav over 3 years with the plan to move him to 2b after a year. 27-30 million but that's likely non-starter.

That is true. At least that's an argument unlike the other s%*#.

Nobody gives a f*** about athletes baby mama drama. I can assure you of that. Flipping off opponent fans is still legitimately hilarious no matter how many times this website tries to make it a thing. Get out of the soxtalk bubble.

Oof. Getting rid of the only marketable player on the team. The franchise gets dumber every day but it's of little surprise at this point.

So does that mean the Sox opted-in?

I want him back. Much ado about lack of leadership in the bullpen early last year. This dude then comes in and pitches in every game the last 2 months. At least has to be difficult for Kopech to complain about a hangnail when he turns around and sees Shaw behind him.

He was in the Royals org in that sweet spot of the 2014 era.
