If Cease is traded, I would say its a guarantee they lose 100 games. Even with Cease, hard to see a scenario where they don't lose 100 games.

I was just about to say this. Great, so all of our under performers are going to magically be good now, that’s wishful thinking.

What a joke

Who cares, the contract will never be a bad one for teams that print money.

lol Toronto, such a dumb rumor why would he ever go there.

This roster is trash and DeJong, Fede, and Lopez aren’t going to prevent the miserable season that’s coming.

I think it’s very weird I haven’t gotten any ESPN alerts about it they’re usually all over these things if it’s as close as reported

lol I get this reference

Oh yeah. We’re never signing a player like this.

I have no idea who my new favorite team would be if this happened

Oh 100%

There is no rush at all to trade him, I don’t see how the speed of when the trade happens tells anything

I don’t have the answer to that, but I feel pretty confident in saying it’s not because of lack of interest

He’s still a front of the rotation pitcher with age and contract on his side. That’s not really debatable, and based off reports most insiders agree.

What is a TOR pitcher? FIP-Based WAR rankings for Cease from fangraphs. 2021 - 13th - 4.5 2022 - 11th - 4.4 2023 - 18th - 3.7 Hes been roughly a top 15 pitcher in baseball the last 3 years, and considering there are only 30 spots for #1 in a rotation I would say hes a top of the rotation pitcher. What is your criteria?

Texas lost to OU and barely beat teams like Houston and TCU You can make arguments for almost everyone like that

So dumb, Georgia is clearly one of the top 4 teams in college football.

What was encouraging about that trade?

It sucks but if Cease is traded how do you not trade Robert? Are we just supposed to watch this guy be bored out of his mind surrounded by absolute trash for 2-3 years? Whats the point. I can see him getting disinterested real fast.

Literally anyone can DH, you don't have to be a big slow plodder to occupy the DH spot. That was what was meant when the Sox had too many DH's, slow big men who can't play anywhere else.

Which is crazy to me as that is their job to know, when all I did was see a highlight package and was like WTF was this pick?

We all knew this anyway, but man is this team going to be bad next year.

To keep up the mirage they are still trying to "compete"

Someone will definitely be willing. 28 year old starters with ace upside don't get overlooked.

Why would they now?
