Oh God, shut up

And as we all know, #1 prospects all turn into Hall of Fame superstars.

Baltimore when they face five Dylan Ceases in the playoffs, with five Colson Montgomerys batting in the order:

We trade Cease to ourselves for Montgomery and Schultz. It's like the Mewtwo cloning glitch in Pokemon Blue.

Victor Reyes was an infinitely more exciting depth signing than the MiLB guys we've signed this year and a good chunk of the MLB guys signed. And he wasn't that exciting.

Jackson Holliday for Dylan Cease straight up. Might as well dump a barrel of crude oil onto the dumpster fire

If they trade Fields to Atlanta, there is a hypothetical Harrison + Daniels draft, but that has to be done during the draft and that's walking the tight rope.

The worst part is that my grandmother in law is 96 and has been a ride-or-die O's fan since Day 1 and we've bonded over baseball. I'd like Cease to go there to make them better for her. This thread is making it tricky.

If I've learned one thing, it's that teams who rely on Craig Kimbrel as their big external addition are guaranteed to go far

The Orioles will trade Ryan Ripken, final offer.

If Bradfield isn't on the table, then every non-Joey Ortiz — who is old enough to go by Joseph — member of the Orioles top 8 is off the table.

Everyone else has already said it, but that's just disgusting. Jordan needs to at least say something considering The Last Dance most likely reignited negative emotions towards Krause in the past few years.

Suddenly I have a feeling that they'll all forget how to play defense.

That's a no-no for the signings that the Sox have had this offseason. We like the Maldonados and Hills of the world.

This was eight seasons ago.

Amazing

Mate, for Robert-Cease, Cowser is a throw-in

Yeah if they don't want to give up Mayo for Cease, they don't want to start the Cease-Robert talks.

We're building a winning culture.

This is like when my company did layoffs, but kept senior VPs of departments that were cut.

Depends on the inflection

I feel like keeping Eberflus makes it more likely that Fields is staying. Also, there's no "trading down" to get MHJ and getting Williams. You either get Williams or trade down to get MHJ or take Williams and give New England a ransom for MHJ

The bag-head emoji has such unexpected range

I give it two bad starts max before Stroman tells Yankees fans/the New York Post to f*** off
