Would you rather see them get creative and sign Montgomery to a similarly structured deal to what Bellinger and Chapman signed to replace Cease to have potentially have a left-handed starter to deal at the deadline? He doesn't cost a draft pick either, not that Lorenzen does, which is why I wouldn't consider this idea with Snell.

Yeah, this would be at least 100 pages less (if not more) if not for them and us responding to them.

I love the idea of sending Cease to the Padres along with Eloy. What kind of package could you expect then?

Agreed, but the Sox discussing a deal with Lorenzen has to be a good sign. Only thing that really hurts if they trade him now rather mid-summer is my O63.5 wins bet haha

More teams interested the better.

Ah who can forget about wetbutt23!

Yeah it's a weird statement to make without knowing who it is haha

Another 60-day IL spot opening up space on the 40-man, perhaps?

Agreed. It's just a spring training outing.

They don't but most guys wouldn't talk negatively about their employer with a mic in front of their faces.

This is more what I was getting at. You only scratch him if its on the verge of happening. Let him get his 3 innings in and call it a day.

Nah let him make the start. If teams are coming back, let him showcase one more time/. Plus, nothing may be even close to imminent so no point skipping.

Why would he do that? lol Sounds like he would have nothing to lose then if he's a dead man walking.

Yeah, Rodon may not come back to form or join Cole on the IL. The latter is more likely. Cortes may also join them. Stroman also hasn't been the picture of health in recent years. They need someone they can pencil in for 32 starts.

Yeah, maybe you can get him as a backend piece of a trade.

Noticed him too at the very low end of the 30.

Yankees need some durability and stability. That guy is Cease.

Make him or a 4th (or 5th depending on what rest of deal looks like) piece.

Excellent, no. Better, yes. Also, Cashman has got to be on the hot seat for his job at some point.

Santos suffers a lat strain and won't be ready for Opening Day. Always sell high on relievers. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/03/mariners-gregory-santos-lat-strain-injured-list.html

Most starts in the league since 2020.

If Dominguez and Jones are off limits we should get Arias (T100 #86), Hampton (T100 #92), Lalane (#9), and like Vivas or another arm should be doable right? I was trying to find a LHH OF but you got to go to prospect numbers 28 and 29 for that.

I read it wrong initially. My bad.

I know some people have tossed out some good deals without Jones, who they apparently don't want to include. I think they can get it done.

Beginning to think Cease (nothing to do with Yankees rumor).
