January 27, 20242 yr Injuries to pitchers happen… often. I don’t doubt it if a contender gets the axe and we get a haul. I’m commending Getz so far.

January 27, 20242 yr I think if Elias were seriously pursuing a starting pitcher he would have acquired one before Jan 27. Seems he's just waiting for the cheapest option.

Seems he's just waiting for the cheapest option. I think he really wants Cease but he like many other GMs were expecting Getz, as a first time GM, to give in by now. I think eventually a deal gets done with Baltimore, they’ve made the most sense for a year now. Edited January 27, 20242 yr by Rey21

I personally think this comes to down to Getz asking for my man Mayo and Elias not wanting to give up any of their big three prospects (with Holliday a very clear untouchable). The question is whether Getz will come off his ask and whether there is a middle ground that works for both sides. If not, I think this comes down to the Yankees or we ultimately hold Dylan until the deadline.

If that threat of taking him into regular season isn’r real…Getz will lose this trade big time as he backs himself into a corner.

Also, When the GM is literally saying they are still looking for OF help (probably Whit) and to trade Cease, I think that says it all. Edited January 27, 20242 yr by WhiteSox2023
January 27, 20242 yr ummmm Bruuuuce says 0% chance, Grifol names Cease OD starter. Bruuuuce wrong again?

Bruce actually had one of his first coherent and sensical tweets above in a long time, talking about the risk of not trading Cease before opening day. Edited January 27, 20242 yr by WhiteSox2023

It’s actually one of the most sensical things Levine has said in awhile. If Cease suffers a bad injury, his value could drop to zero. It would definitely be playing with fire to hold Cease until the deadline. Yes, he could stay healthy, pitch well, and raise his value. But he could also pitch worse and/or get injured.
