I’m not saying it will happen but Mayo and Cowser seems to be closer to reality than your trade proposal. The media has been saying 2 top prospects and 2 lesser prospects.
January 11, 20242 yr Just now, Sports Guy said: This guy knows nothing. Agreed. Sweet name on him too. But don’t we already know that the Orioles aren’t going to do anything in free agency? If they do, it will be for someone cheap.

January 11, 20242 yr Just now, Chicago White Sox said: Zero reason to panic until the Orioles & Yankees actually add starters. Somehow I doubt Boras is panicking, holding Snell Montgomery Cease Robert...Stroman too? He already knows neither of the Sox players will even get legitimate extension offers, so anywhere that those guys will get more national games and playoff exposure now works for him.

The media has been saying 2 top prospects and 2 lesser prospects. Mayo and Cowser has zero basis for reality. The media can say what they want. Getz is free to ask for what he wants. But Elias wouldn’t consider that trade, so it doesn’t matter. You guys can keep hoping for it but Cease is not fetching 2 guys that some lists will have in the top 20. That just isn’t happening. You don’t like people from other teams telling you that but you not liking it doesn’t make it less true. MAYBE Boston or the Giants would do it. They have been the 2 teams I have said the whole time could go big and be desperate. Giants keep striking out trying to sign anyone and the Red Sox don’t like being the little brother.

I realize you want pitching back in any trade involving Cease, but there was just an article that stated that Getz was now open to taking back the best package of prospects rather than focusing on getting pitching back.

I know. But that's also why nothing has been done yet. All apart of the negotiations. It's a big mistake not to get pitching but if no one offers it, he can't get it.

January 11, 20242 yr 13 minutes ago, Squirmin' for Yermin said: I love posturing Agreed. The biggest mistake of the offseason would be not trading Cease. Even with a guy who has stayed healthy in the big leagues (he got the TJ surgery out of the way when he was drafted), with typical awful Sox luck, you know he would suffer some sort of devastating injury if he pitches for the Sox in the first half.

If you look at the Teoscar deal...the Ms and Jays were in a similar position to where Baltimore is heading with three of their veterans. Nice asset to have in Santander but perhaps not at that price point. Especially the O's with their limited payroll flexibility, betting on each stud prospect hitting the ground running and cheaply replacing the veterans.

Look at what the Pirates got for Cole back in 2018. Musgrove was serviceable but the rest was garbage. Didn’t move the needle and pretty much comparable to zero at the end of the day.

Hard to believe their plan was to add Kimbrel and count on guys they already have while also not trading Santander. They lost Gibson and Flaherty from the playoff rotation. Plus Bautista who had a great season is out for all of 2024. That is a huge loss. Hope is not a strategy.
