Cowser, Ortiz, Snelling/Lesko, Zavala, Bradfield Jr., Thorpe, Norby. If you took Mullins out of it...they wouldn't even assume the contracts on Hays Mountcastle and Urias if you gave them away with no talent leaving SD. Zero need for Urias. The other guys you could find a 1B DH corner guy on the FA market...and/or trade without giving up a single Top 6 prospect in the Padres' system. They would much rather have Mateo for PR and defense. That would embarrass Preller because he used to be SD property. Edited January 11, 20242 yr by caulfield12
January 11, 20242 yr Santander Mullins Basallo and Kjerstad for those pieces...would be more like it.
January 11, 20242 yr Orioles predicted for three of next World Series.... https://www.mlb.com/news/predicting-world-series-winners-through-2033 This can't possibly backfire. "Chicago's reported demand is high. ESPN's Jesse Rogers wrote Wednesday that the club is looking for multiple high-end prospects and some "fill-ins" in return. Rogers listed the Yankees, Cubs and Reds as three teams that could pry Cease away from the Windy City, and Rosenthal included the Red Sox, Giants and Rangers among the clubs most in need of starting pitching."

January 11, 20242 yr Cease Robert Kopech Santos for ... Mullins (flipped eventually) Mayo Basallo Kjerstad Westburg and two best O's minor league pitchers. Orioles become immediate World Series favorites. White Sox mitigate risk of Cease/Robert blowing up before they can be traded...especially Cease with a potential second TJ and with just two years remaining on his deal. This might be one case where they can open up more O's prospects than they could with one alone...90 times out of 100 you would prefer to trade Robert and Cease individually. Or you can substitute Holliday for Mayo Basallo and KJERSTAD. Personally, I do think it would be safer to take those three guys over one Holliday...there would be just as many if not more scouts arguing the value of seven years of one Holliday vs. the much higher bust potential of the Santos provides needed insurance for Kimbrel.

January 11, 20242 yr Author Final offer to the O’s for me would be Kjerstad, Westburg, & Baumeister. The O’s keep their top three studs, future stars Ortiz & Norby to solve 2B, and all their advanced pitching prospects. Sox address RF & 2B immediately and get an arm with mid rotation ceiling. Win win for both sides. Go seal the deal Getz!

January 11, 20242 yr What are the chances that the Sox have a deal offered to them that they would accept, but are waiting on Snell and Montgomery to see if there is a desperation offer from a team out there before accepting? Not saying they have an agreement with a team, but where they can, for example, call the Orioles or Yankees and say "we accept the offer of (insert offer here) from our previous discussions." Because right now, with Cease, they have: Cease Fedde Kopech Soroka Flexen Touki (decent in limited time here, DFA candidate I guess) Scholtens (decent last year in limited time, also DFA candidate when more space is needed I guess due to age and wanting younger options) Shuster (has options so good depth to go back and forth between MLB and MiLB) Woodford (MiLB deal) Kuhl (MiLB deal) And then guys whos should be slated to start in Charlotte where the guys above don't really have enough room to also make starts (but I guess can pitch in relief): Eder Mena Nastrini Burke Thompson It's a lot of options for innings. Just not good options haha Edited January 11, 20242 yr by Bob Sacamano
