March 12, 20242 yr If Dominguez and Jones are off limits we should get Arias (T100 #86), Hampton (T100 #92), Lalane (#9), and like Vivas or another arm should be doable right? I was trying to find a LHH OF but you got to go to prospect numbers 28 and 29 for that.

I would like to challenge you to read this sentence again.
March 12, 20242 yr I wonder if teams wanted to see Cease throw this spring as to possibly avoid what happened to Gio. Cease looks good, Let's roll!

Balta...they are knee deep in tax territory already and Hal cares about budgets unlike his father. Whatever offer they make to one of the two FAs, it's basically double with the tax.

NYY could also just trade for Cease in a few months. The Yankees have a deep enough roster to hang around for the first half of the season. A trade for Cease further down the road makes more sense.

I was trying to find a LHH OF but you got to go to prospect numbers 28 and 29 for that. I think a guy like Brandon Mayea could be a huge bust out candidate in a year or two as well that maybe we can get today, but not in a year.

Also would tack in John Cruz as a similar guy who seems to be having a break out. He put up HUGE LH power numbers in rookie ball at 18 after being in the class of 22 for the Yankees Latin American signings.
March 12, 20242 yr 4 minutes ago, Balta1701 said: And Dylan Cease will single handedly make it excellent? Nope. They needed Cease or Snell before an injury. Cashman needs to make the playoffs or he's fired. They're clearly going all in (hence the Soto move)

March 12, 20242 yr Just now, Bob Sacamano said: Noticed him too at the very low end of the 30. If he puts up a HR every 15 AB in full season ball, we will never be able to touch him again unless he is a big deal headliner.

A trade for Cease further down the road makes more sense. I disagree that their roster is deep enough. Their starting pitching is wretched, especially if Rodon doesn’t come back to form. If Baltimore Toronto and Tampa get out in front again it might be too late
March 12, 20242 yr 1 hour ago, DirtySox said: Not sure how to read this. Is he comparing the current Yankees offer to past offers from other teams? Or does this read as Getz is soliciting a bunch of current offers from other teams that trump this new Yankees proposal? Or which side is feeding the info.

If Baltimore Toronto and Tampa get out in front again it might be too late Yeah, Rodon may not come back to form or join Cole on the IL. The latter is more likely. Cortes may also join them. Stroman also hasn't been the picture of health in recent years. They need someone they can pencil in for 32 starts. Edited March 12, 20242 yr by Bob Sacamano
March 12, 20242 yr Author 2 hours ago, Balta1701 said: The Yankees probably put in a polite call to see if the Spring results had dramatically dropped the price on Cease, but aren’t going to pay a high price for him based on this. The likely scenario is that this loss is a huge problem for them and trying to barely patch it with Cease isn’t getting them anywhere. What? I don’t follow here.
