Just for fun, and to surely piss off Orioles fans: https://www.mlb.com/news/dylan-cease-trade-proposals

I think they asked for Lowder, Petty and two lesser prospects. It definitely wasn’t 5, with 4 of them being elite. To me, that was leaked by the Reds to make it easier for their fans to accept not going after him.

I don’t buy the Reds reporter’s rumor at all.

Heyman says the Yanks doubt that Cease actually gets traded https://nypost.com/2024/01/06/sports/yankees-confident-theyll-add-significant-piece-to-starting-rotation/?utm_campaign=iphone_nyp&utm_source=pasteboard_app

Has anyone even watched highlights of Ortiz? I couldn’t be more out on him, as he gives me terrifying Madrigal flashbacks.

Yeah, every GM in baseball would take the 20 year old LHP with TOR potential over the 25 year old middle infielder prospect.

Thanks for posting. Ramos not being a top 150 guy is surprising.

Doesn’t really add or subtract one, as it eliminates the Mariners from being an option for another team that would want Cease

Not a single team in baseball would want Ortiz over Schultz

Mariners seemingly staying put, which helps the Sox

I know Mets fans were extremely disappointed with Baty’s defense…no issues for you?

175/7 = 35?

He also just turned 28 and is incredibly durable. He would have been paid like an ace this offseason.

Cease had a very, very good 2021

Honestly, I think they’re waiting for the three big remaining lefties to sign before starting true negotiations

You’ve somehow picked a fight with the most reserved person on this board

Can you imagine how sure we would have been 5-6 years ago that Moncada would be a 30/30 candidate every year and that Eloy would have 35-40 homers a year? That Michael Kopech is going to be throwing 98 mph as a starter!

No surprise, but Rosenthal reporting Boston might trade from their outfield surplus to get pitching.

Good lord

Oh now you’ve insulted our board injury expert!

Yet teams that were mentioned a week ago have popped up (Mets, Red Sox, Mariners)

Yeah, the reports lately really make it seem like it’s dwindling…..not

I think he’s just saying the buzz was prior to the reports coming out the last 24 hours, and now everyone knows

They’re definitely asking for more than “very little value”.
