This is an amazing class.... Wheeler, Burnes, Fried, Bieber, Buehler, tons of depth guys, some high risk/reward guys. Potential Cole opt out. This has to be one of the best SP classes in years right? What am i missing.
Last year a middle rotation, innings eater with just HALF a year of control returned a top 70 (at the time) prospect and another prospect probably in the 150-200 range.
That was Lucas Giolito for Edgar Quero and Ky Bush.
Cease's value will not dip below a Ortiz/Hall/pick offer UNLESS a major injury happens. That is the only risk.
I think the CHW and SEA trade is a win-win for both clubs. Seattle didn’t give up anyone highly touted and received a young closer who has 5 years of control and if he proves to not be a fluke, would be a steal.
ARI easy win on receiving a 21 year old starter in the upper minors for an older OF who may be more of a 4th outfielder type.
