So when does he get traded? Next offseason?

From the Bowden piece that was mentioned.

I can enlighten by posting the writeup from the recently updated BA Yankees top 10 for 2024. He's number 2 behind Dominguez.

Maybe I'm misremembering, but I feel like Rutherford didn't have the upside that Jones does. I also don't remember Rutherford having the monster EVs like Spencer.

I think I'd be pleased with a Hampton, Jones, and Lombard package.

Jones, Hampton, Arias too much? Arias is the guy I'd be targeting.

Doesn't it say the Sox believe they can get better prospects "from" the Orioles?

Spencer Jones terrifies me. I don't trust the White Sox at all with prospects that have a questionable hit tool.

f*** Thom Brennaman.

White Sox it sounds like. We were very into him on the draft forum.

Is Jett, Houck, Vasil too much of an ask? Not enough?

Boy is Parada's writeup on BA underwhelming. Was he always that rough defensively?

What do you got @Harold's Leg Lift?

I loved him at draft. Mainly because of the aesthetic. I think White Sox fans would adore him. Big Pedroia vibes.

I wonder if acquiring Jett Williams could fill the Madrigal sized hole in @poppysox's heart.

Really? Not going to pretend I know much about trade valuations, but I think Jett Williams, Drew Gilbert, and Colin Houck could be a fantastic package.

A snip for those without an Athletic sub. https://theathletic.com/5180684/2024/01/05/dylan-cease-trade-market/

Jett Williams and Houck please. I still wonder about makeup with Jett. Dude looked like an absolute scumbag at draft time. Looks can be deceiving though?

Harry Ford, Cole Young, and Colt Emerson are all interesting. Not much pitching in sight in that system though.

Interesting that James mentioned the Mariners.

Indeed. Saw them play the Bulls many times the past 2 seasons.

So I'm moving to Norfolk in March. Am I close enough to be an Orioles fan next season? Lord knows the White Sox will be unwatchable unless I'm in a self hating mood.

My unfortunate Iowa Fandom would be very okay with that.
