I feel a shorter, high AAV deal for Snell incoming.

February 2, 20242 yr Diamondbacks, Reds, Pirates are teams that I feel like should be more involved. I guess the latter two can wait to add until the deadline to see how things are looking though.

Just because the Sox have the upper hand doesn't mean Cease would have been traded. No one has offered what the Sox want and what Cease is worth. No one has offered what the Sox want. What he is worth is completely subjective.

Prolly would require Termarr plus a SP.
February 2, 20242 yr Quote “This trade, with what Baltimore gave up, in no way closes off the possibility of them getting Dylan Cease.” - @jonmorosi LOL. I guess he's technically correct because none of the players involved in the Burnes trade would be part of a Cease trade BUT if Elias wasn't willing to give up any of his high end players before the Burnes trade he's sure as hell not going to give them up now.

Maybe closes off the possibility for now, but maybe they will need another SP in the summer. Probably still wouldn't want to pay the price then though. Edited February 2, 20242 yr by Bob Sacamano

They may not want to after his last year, but if Dylan Cease is putting up a Cy Young caliber season again, someone is going to pay a load for him, and they won't want to face that pitcher in the playoffs against them.
February 2, 20242 yr The rationale for not trading Cease at the deadline last year was because there would be more suitors available in the Winter, correct? Now we are a few weeks from Spring Training and the rationale is to wait until the trade deadline as teams will be more desperate for pitching then? Makes no sense to me.

Well hopefully this was the kick in the nuts that the Yankees needed to make a deal. Just out of curiosity, if they dealt for Cease, is their luxury tax number so high that they are they still forfeiting all that anyway?

February 2, 20242 yr Hypothetical (unlikely, I know): Sox are at .500 record wise and hold a 3 game lead in the horrible division in July. What do they do with Cease? I'm not asking what YOU would do. I'm asking what you think Getz will do.

I'm not asking what YOU would do. I'm asking what you think Getz will do. In that highly unlikely hypothetical, they'd hold him past the deadline. They would either go on a lengthy losing streak or his performance would completely crater afterwards. This is the way things happen for our White Sox.
February 2, 20242 yr The Sox need to put Cease in bubble wrap and we all need to pray to whatever deity we believe in that he stays healthy and effective through July 31. There will be injuries and lack of performance by some contending teams and a few surprise teams that want to "go for it". Getz set his price and evidently didn't budge. That's fine for this cycle, but if we don't deal Cease by July 31, 2024 then he becomes a 1 year rental and the price goes way down.
