Compensation when Cease leaves too.

In 162 game season when you’re out of it in April, I feel like most players in that situation’s care kind of fades to some extent.

As a lefty he’s still going to get most of the starts. He still only makes sense in CF. Should have added a power bat to LF.

Seems so

*insert Tim Robinson in hotdog suit clip* ”We gotta figure out who did this!”

Unless you’re moving Springer and Vlad into a time share at DH with Bellinger moving between the OF and 1B or trading Varsho, idk how they will be able to. KK add is puzzling because it moves Varsho to a corner spot where he is less valuable than if he played CF, which he probably will do a lot based on KK’s past health.

At least 5 of these guys right? And I wouldn’t want Chapman or Garrett.

Change of scenery with control would make sense. More sense than Soroka.

Scott Alexander checks the boxes

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.
