MLB needs deadlines like other leagues. It's too damn stagnant as it is.

The Nashville White Sox don’t do it for you?

Pretty sure Gia is signing with the Dodgers. At least, there seemed to be a lot of smoke there.

The Pirates, but minus the actual player development. This team is in serious trouble outside of blinding falling into success like 2005.

When's the last time a Boras client extended instead of hitting FA? I legitimately can't recall it ever happening.

It's still very early, and no rush at the moment for him to be moved.

Not my favorite package. Really hope BAL steps up but those prospect hugging losers seem unwilling to fully go for it.

I’m a big fan of Bo but he isn’t much of a SS. He’s pretty brutal defensively.

I can’t stand Chuck’s voice, but that’s just me. Nothing against the guy, he just annoys me. Watching him dance after a Sox win each time would be entertaining though.

This would be my first choice.

Scott Boras disagrees. Soto has a 0% chance of signing an extension.

They're gonna have to bring in some veteran-type. You can't go into the season with Korey Lee and Carlos Perez as your catchers. Maldonado was (at least before last year) a very good defensive catcher. I'd rather have him as a backup then see Perez on this team. At least he'll be cheap.

I really don’t think they can afford to wait until the deadline. It’s far too risky if Cease does come down with an injury.

More like Jerry wants that money reinvested into his wallet.

Because Ceases agent is Scott Boras and his clients never choose not to go to Free Agency.

He’s taking his physical Monday. They won’t make anything official until he passes.

Manoah is a lazy blimp. I’d pass hard on him.

Well, the MI defense certainly has improved… this team is gonna blow offensively.

I got the impression they might be targeting Outman.

It’s too risky to keep Cease for that. They will easily get the value of a QO in return this offseason.

Plus the Brewers appear to be in full sell mode, and weren't they the rumored team in on him at the deadline?

First big test for Bannister. I’m not a fan of Shuster but maybe they see something with him.

First thought after seeing this is there is going to be a lot of roster turnover with the 40-Man full. Not a terrible trade, but nothing to get me overly excited.

Good. They deserve it.
