Duquette is same person who proposed Cease for Dominguez, Hampton, Warren and one more. If he says it’s a good package offered, that’s interesting.

No one knows if the price is sky high. If they’re asking for Jones or Hampton, that tells me they’re not being unrealistic.

That doesn’t even include losing Bautista for the season. That’s their biggest loss by far.

He’s not a base stealer at all. He would be a very disappointing headliner. He can be a solid Major Leaguer, but you can also get someone like that via free agency for fairly cheap.

My god, I hate this thread. I’ve grown to wish every Orioles prospect flops.

It’s very possible Elias isn’t willing to deal any of their top 5 guys. Cowser and Kjerstad might mean even more to them than we would think due to their outfield FA situation the next few years.

Bob also said Mets aren’t interested in Cease

No, I said Busch and someone like Sheehan or Stone and another prospect instead of settling for a lesser package from the Orioles, if they refuse to give up their guys.

I’ve said all along I want the best players, regardless of position or righty/lefty. They have so many holes, I don’t think anyone is actually blocked (since we don’t know where Montgomery will play).

It would frustrate me that Getz couldn’t make a deal with the Dodgers for Busch, a pitcher and another prospect.

NBB said he’s not coming back no matter what

He said “I’m tired of being treated like a slave” in Spanish

Jerry’s franchise gets embarrassed again

Well, he is a statue already on the field

Last year at this time, people on here would have said hell no to trading Colas.

That won’t go well (as a starter)

Also, FWIW, I’ve flip flopped and want the Sox to hold on to Cease if the offers aren’t awesome. This team needs a miracle to improve the talent level, so Cease pitching like his amazing run during 2022 leading up to the 24 deadline might be the best way to acquire impact talent.

Why doesn’t this apply to Ortiz then, as all I see on your board is how valuable he is, as illustrated by his ranking? I totally agree that rankings don’t mean anything, as I previously said every GM in baseball would take Schultz over Ortiz.

Yeah, teams don’t have injuries to worry about now. At the deadline, there are a lot more holes to fill due to injuries. You also have teams like the Reds and Tigers that might not know how competitive they will be that decide to push their chips in if they are contending.

Don’t forget Peraza and Pereira

For this case, it’s more the Yankees just not wanting to trade a specific guy it sounds like. Asking for a borderline top 50 guy isn’t excessive, but the Soto trade depleted their system enough to where the Yankees are being less aggressive.

Last I heard, they’re going to make a trade that adds to the team and doesn’t subtract from big league roster.

He mentioned Dodgers and Reds, but it probably meant from earlier in the offseason.

If Yanks had got Snell, it for sure would take them out of Cease hunt. This signing hurts the Sox chances, but it’s not completely closed. Just seems like it’s trending towards Cease staying.

Time for Dodgers to show interest again….
