AJSS and Waldrep are somewhat intriguing but yeah I’m hoping someone else steps up and offers more.

I don’t agree that they have “a lot” of pitching, but yeah that Braves offer is underwhelming.

It’s not that he sucks. It’s that he has a ton of miles on his legs, is on the decline, and is very expensive for Jerry standards.

I’d say Caulfield has more credibility than Jim Bowden.

I haven’t seen one rumor about the Rangers offering a package led by Leody Taveras. Seems to me you are just doomsday posting.

Why are you assuming they are getting only garbage offers for Cease?

Might not be a bad idea to do that, especially for pitchers.

They can take multiple Rule 5 guys if they want to, right? Because that might be a good idea given how much trash is on the 40-man.

Hopefully tomorrow is D Day. Need some Sox moves in my life.

I mean this is obvious stuff and he’s acting like it’s some top secret info.

Kjerstad or Cowser + Ortiz is really the obvious solution here, it’s just a matter of it Baltimore will stop prospect hugging and give them up.

Well then it makes sense to target a guy who can stick at SS in the Cease trade.

How do we still not know the dollar value here?

Where are you @Pal

The Mariners already have a lot of pitching, why do they need Cease?

Need Horton and Caissie if that happens.

Hell no.

Agreed. They could absolutely still be in the running for Cease especially if they do trade Matz.

Obviously they should take the best package offered, but ideally I think the two best players coming back for Cease should be a left handed hitting OF and a MLB ready SP as those are 2 of the most glaring needs at the moment.

No thanks on Kremer. 27 years old already and has limited ceiling. Go for someone younger as the 3rd piece.

SPILL THE BEANS

You asked why they wanted him at all. You didn’t ask why they would want him as a focal point. Those are two very different things.

Why wouldn’t they want him? He’s already in the majors, hits lefty, is good defender, has a lot of team control. Checks a lot of boxes.
