WhiteSox2023 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) 306 pages was a good run but I think that this ballgame is over. Edited February 2 by WhiteSox2023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A trade needs to happen in the next 19 days or I lose my ban bet with @baseball_gal_aly. If I lose that bet, burn this thread to the ground with me. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I never got the sense the Sox were even close to a deal with Orioles. I strongly believe the Sox want a starting pitcher as the headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t pass on a pitching headliner if it were someone with a legit TOR ceiling, but we shouldn’t be passing on positional prospects if they are available.

Jerry doesn’t like to pay for pitching, so why wouldn’t he want his FO to focus on getting cheap pitching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for the best talent possible or you risk writing off too many trade partners. That being said, if you expect two higher end prospects and one needs to be a pitcher, then the Yankees still make a lot of sense for us.

I strongly believe the Sox want a starting pitcher as the headliner. The Mariners giving up one of their starters (Woo or Miller) plus prospect(s) in a Cease trade still makes no sense to me. I don’t see that happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi8is Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 The Seattle stuff was obvious at the time as an internal play by us to put pressure on the O’s. Obviously didn’t work. Its fine. I never saw Seattle as a legit option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rey21 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 There will always be an offer on the table for Cease that is better than the one the O’s gave up fo Burnes. Once Cease pitches the 1st half of the season like a Cy Young candidate, plenty of teams will come calling still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I know @ron883 will be disappointed, we felt a better proposal was to ban all Orioles posters if/when a Cease trade happens and he commands a headliner better than Joey Ortiz. 1 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm never a fan of people ducking out on their ban bets. However, this comprise isn't bad. I think we should just ban them all now. @southsider2k5 bust out your ban hammer and get to work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
