February 11, 20242 yr https://www.mlb.com/news/chris-getz-discusses-possibility-of-dylan-cease-trade Quote “I've got to have the health of the organization in mind, and if I feel like [a trade] is something that we should do to make us better in the short term and long term, I think you have to take strong consideration there,” Getz said. “... Teams are still calling. They are still trying to work on a deal that works for both sides. “If there’s a match somewhere, we’ll do it.” The “short term” piece concerns me a bit. Trade Cease for 2026 -2027 ready prospects. Don’t care much who they acquire the next two years beyond prospects. After trading Santos and Cease, they are at least 20 players short of competing in 2025.
February 12, 20242 yr There's a part of me that thinks he's here until mid-summer. There's a part of me that thinks he is gone for best offer before the season starts, whether we love the trade or think we could have gotten a bit more.
February 12, 20242 yr Eloy's biggest impact on this team is the red batting gloves, which I find depressingly hilarious
February 12, 20242 yr It would be sweet if some of these schmucks could bounce back and recoup some value this season. Maybe flip them at the deadline for pieces that will be a part of the next competitive team.

February 13, 20242 yr Speaking of NYY prospects, Law did his writeup on The Athletic. He actually likes Arias (3) more than Jones (4) and feels Arias has best upside of anyone in system outside of Dominguez. Very good batspeed from left side, arm and speed and should stick at SS. He acknowledges Jones has mega power but pitch recognition needs alot of work and success rate of people built like him isnt high. Also likes Lombard (5). Expects above avg defense at SS and good power. Doesn't seem to be super high on Hampton (6) or Warren (9) based on writeups. Thinks Lalane (11) is a long term play with mid rotation potential or even better, 6'7 LHP touches 97 with easy delivery. As to @Chicago White Sox boy Ben Rice (20), thinks he can be platoon 1B/DH and maybe backup catcher, but isnt really a catcher. Very strong and left handed but has uphill swing that could be exploited by better pitching. For more see https://theathletic.com/5261866/2024/02/12/yankees-2024-top-prospects-keith-law/

For more see https://theathletic.com/5261866/2024/02/12/yankees-2024-top-prospects-keith-law/ Rice is a total wild card, but I do think a cheap platoon DH who can serve as an emergency 3rd catcher has real value. Given his age and lack of tools, he’s a guy the Yankees shouldn’t lose sleep over giving up in the back end of a deal.

Given his age and lack of tools, he’s a guy the Yankees shouldn’t lose sleep over giving up in the back end of a deal. FWIW, Arias, Hampton and Lalane would be 49m on BTV, I didn't see Rice on there but perhaps I missed him. Cease ofcourse at 42, so it's actually pretty reasonable when you add in the 10% premium for SP based on the Burnes trade (36 vs 33).
February 14, 20242 yr Sort of Cease related, but the Pirates are talking to the Marlins about their starters. You gotta assume they have talked/are still talking to the Sox. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/02/pirates-trade-rumors-marlins-edward-cabrera-free-agency-domingo-german.html

They have alot of pitching in their system so Getz would like that and a LHS in T. Johnson.
February 14, 20242 yr The Pirates certainly do have some good pitching prospects. Johnson's stock seems to be down at the moment as far as I can tell.
