You can't trade Cease. You just can't. The pitching in the minors is either struggling to stay healthy or consistently perform. AND as we saw with Cease, even highly projected young pitchers often struggle for a couple seasons in MLB making adjustments.
Unless the buyout is like 20 million (and it won't be) this is another insanely friendly team deal from Hahn. Lynn must REALLY like Chicago because on the open market he'd get 3/70.
@Chicago White Sox yea it's an incredible deal. That they got the AAV below 20 is bonkers.
