Tanner Banks and Sammy Peralta are dudes you can launch so makes sense. Plus, can't rely on Crochet's health.

The short-term/youngish guys currently here: Soroka, Kopech, Touki, relievers, etc. Can still help them. He’s only here for a year (along with Stassi) if that.

And then eventually claimed and traded for Eugenio Suarez.

Yes

He could still be a good game caller even if his D isn’t what it used to be.

Not Maldonado

Exactly. Sign and flip at deadline.

Korey Lee has options but I would just play him at the MLB level.

They can make a deal for Cease without hurting their farm. Pull the trigger.

We’re just talking in circles at this point. Need some rumors.

Yeah it’s common for every fanbase - not just the O’s.

No, they operate like a small market team. There is a difference.

They lost 101 last year and look worse. That’s before a Cease deal.

Feel like they gotta open with Ortiz at SS, if he isn’t part of a trade package for a SP.

Basically how the Rays operate.

Yeah, I’d rather take a look at an arm like that than Sammy Peralta.

This

I mean, no one is really up in arms about this but ok...

To be fair, they are also a team that constantly deals with a 40-man roster crunch. Edit: well, everyone does but their decisions are usually tougher.

Still think India makes the most sense to Toronto since they have holes at 2B and 3B.

The arguing in this thread has gotten so repetitive. We just need a trade to happen.

For the f*** of it, that would give you: Edwin Arroyo: #57 MLBT100, Reds #3 Connor Phillips: 68, 4 Chase Petty: UR, 6 Sal Stewart: UR, 7 Ricardo Cabrera: UR, 8. 2 in the Top 100 and 5 in the top 10 of their prospects. And then Jonathan India.

With all the other names in there, he doesn't look like a main piece to be honest. Subtract him from that offer and it looks like the kind of offer you might receive. I would take him if all 5 of those other pieces were coming with.

That would be cool.

Maybe we'll hear about more interest for Cease from the Diamondbacks.
