Seriously...when opposing teams are down and desperate....coming to their board to lord over yet another #1 farm system that they almost completely refuse to trade from isn't going to go over very well.

I think this dude is related to someone we are talking about. He's taking it so so personally that we have different opinions on another teams prospects it's hilarious.

I have said I would do a deal that most of you have said you would like to do.  Try reading and not generalizing.  It makes your points and posts better.

I am super confident what a ridiculous trade request is and I’m also super confident that a ridiculous trade offer hasn’t been offered or else the deal would be done.

Do you think Getz is turning down deals that where they are offered multiple top 35 prospects?

Are we approaching a deadline of some sort? What hasn’t happened to date is not a solid indicator of what’s “reasonable”

I'll speak for him and everyone. But no one on here wants your advice on how to post better.

Yes it is…when the consistent thing you are hearing is that teams feel Getz is asking for too much and a trade that they have been talking to teams about since July still hasn’t happened, that tells you what you need to know.

If he was only talking to the Os, you would be right..but hes not. We know (or at least if the rumor was true) what he asked for from Cinci and clearly that was greeted with a no. We know he asked for Holliday in July, that was greeted with a no. 
 

So yea, we have that idea.

That’s fine..it’s not advice I care to give.  However, if you are going to misrepresent what I’m saying, I’m going to say something.

If only there was a place for O’s fans to talk about their team.

I'll just say this. Your passive aggressive BS is going to be very short lived on here.

Getz wasn’t the GM in July.

Qualifying as reasonable is a subjective measurement. You have your view, cool. The league hasn’t met Getz’s asking price to date. But it doesn’t sound like Getz is done talking with other teams, who are well aware of the ask. If he ends up keeping him, that’s the choice. Nothing about that is unreasonable.

I can’t state this enough, the best Sox insider has said all along the plan was to deal him AFTER Snell and Montgomery go elsewhere.

and today was a perfect picture of why being patient was the right move. Teams are overpaying massively for pitchers that have barely pitched in the past year or two. Cease's games pitched over the past two years is a huge asset. The market for pitching is horrendous.

I want to be clear..Getz is doing what he should be doing. This is how these things work. Trading team asking for too much…teams trading for player are offering too little.  Eventually some team is able to come to an agreement.

Getz is doing his job and as of now, he’s doing it properly and well.

Elias and other GMs are doing the same.

But an unreasonable trade, such as Mayo and Cowser (which is where this started) has zippy chance of happening and if it did, it would be done by now. I don’t see how anyone can possibly disagree with that.

Sure..but a high end offer would cause them to make a move now. 
 

Getz isn’t just sitting around doing nothing with Cease until those guys sign.

No, he’s actually very busy dumpster diving for crappy players.

I don’t get why anyone would take it so personally when another fan base, on their team board, wants their GM to get a huge return.  Trading Cease is the Sox Super Bowl for the upcoming season.

Likelihood and what’s reasonable are not the same thing

From the sound of it, they’re barely talking to teams as they wait for the market to clear.

I didn’t but it also doesn’t change my point. Getz was likely involved in those talks and while he may have different ideas than what Hahn wanted, the conversations still happened and the negotiations were still there and no question Getz was either involved or knew what was being said.

Getz’s focus on players has been significantly different than his predecessor.

In this case, they are.

So, to be clear, if a team was offering him multiple top 35 prospects, your stance is that Getz would be saying no?
