That's insane! That's some OOTP stuff. For comparison, the Sox have at AAA our numbers 7, 10, 13, 26, and 29 ranked prospects... and numbers 13 and 26 were added this week 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prolly Kjerstad, one of the IFers, Povich and a 4th good piece I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Hahn has only a few more hours to decide the future of this franchise. Trading Cease or Robert is admitting defeat and is an admission that the rebuild failed and the window is now closed. I honestly do not think they trade either for those reasons.

Everyone knows the rebuild failed but depending on the return there's absolutely a window to be a playoff caliber decent team...if you get a haul of 3-4 quality players from BAL that are almost ready to go.

I think Cease would cost the most of all of them due to the control years. Probably why they will go with one of the others. Verlander's gone.
