Point being, dude backs into guess-timating a package that has one of their top 3 pitching prospects, one of their top OF prospects, their 2nd round RHP pick from 2022, and potential utility infielder filler.
March 13, 20242 yr 17 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: At some point soon, the Sox will have money to spend. The main challenge will be signing stars and impact SP under Jerry. Even mercenary SP will likely be too rich for Jerry’s blood from a risk standpoint. As such, frontline pitching more or less needs to be developed (or traded for a la Lynn). I have no problem getting back a pitching prospect with a TOR ceiling for Cease, but would hate for a package of multiple mid-rotation types. Let’s swing for the fences in terms of ceiling with a Cease trade and use our money to add good (not great) players. The odds are fair that by the time the Sox could be decent again, that current ownership is no longer in the picture.

It's interesting listening to idiot fanbois from other teams gush over Dylan Cease. One dope thinks Cease won a Cy Young, and the main guy literally had to look up the word "droves" to understand the volume of White Sox scouts watching the Rangers that day. But I think it's a respectful take, not the "I'd maybe trade Anthony Rizzo straight up, but nothing more" level of disdain. They kind of gush over Jack Leiter, and compare him to Thorpe (#5), Snelling (#3) and Lesko (#4). The guy who believes Cease won a Cy Young compares Brock Porter to the level of prospect that Graham Pauly (#11) or Eguy Rosario (#16) are. They come up with a "similar" package of one of (thorpe, snelling, lesko), one of (pauly, rosario), Sam Zavala (#7) and maybe Adam Mazur (#10). The numbers are MLB's Padres' system rankings. I don't endorse. Just thought it was interesting to get bro-dude Padre-fan take on what they think Cease would cost them. They get into talking about a possible trade after 11:00. I do like Mazur and Zavala as a 3rd, but man there's no #2 piece there. Edited March 13, 20242 yr by Squirmin' for Yermin

Yeah, it sounds like they are shutting him down and trying the rest & rehab approach hoping to stave off surgery. Time to pony up Cashman.

Jimmy Lambert and Cole like two ships passing in the night...same doctor. Let's not forget all the variables with Rodon and Nestor Cortes coming off injuries as well...Rodon recently struggling to ramp his FB velo back up again in ST.
March 13, 20242 yr Cole out 1-2 months. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/gerrit-cole-injury-update-yankees-ace-could-miss-up-to-two-months-with-elbow-issue-per-report/

Then it would have to be some combo of Marsee Head DeVrieze. There's only two untradeables in Merrill and Salas. Unfortunately Padres can't absorb deals for Benintendi Jimenez and Moncada...well, that's more for JR's pocketbook sake I guess. If SD could eat half the Benintendi deal...for example. Of course, that would limit the prospect return while simultaneously being classic JR "screw the fans."
March 13, 20242 yr lol the ole rest and rehab of a partially torn UCL huh. Dr Andrew’s will be seeing you in July, Gerrit
