I think Cease will be traded, and I believe he will bring back a Chris Sale type deal (2 top 100, 2 middling prospects). https://forum.orioleshangout.com/forum/2-orioles-talk/ Sale returned an MLB-ready blue chip prospectg that was widely top prospect in the game, and a legit top 30 type. Moncada obviously didn't pan out to his lofty projections, but let's not just call him a "top 100" prospect. That would be like O's trading Holliday + Kjerstad/Mayo and two filler pieces.

December 13, 20232 yr 5 minutes ago, joejoesox said: did he really say that? I don't remember the exact quote but I thought he said something strongly suggesting Eloy was gone. I do remember him saying something recently tho about how there was interest in eloy but it had to "make sense for both sides". Maybe they will use that as an excuse if there's no deal but it will be awkward and I think Harold or fathom or someone said they want him out due to work ethic stuff

Sox did sell Sale low, although the level of severity is debatable.

That makes me think either they never really intended to trade him and are just fishing for a super lopsided deal and wasting everyone's time, or that there's a current bidding war for him and we will either get outbid or pay way too much.

Like, yeah, the bidding war taking time and then a team either getting outbid or paying too much is basically how trades work. And you're not even gonna consider that the hold up could be due to the rest of the SP marker moving slow?

And you're not even gonna consider that the hold up could be due to the rest of the SP marker moving slow? Is this that guy's first offseason? These things tend to go slowly and then all at once. Someone has to "set" the market usually and then there's a flurry of deals. Other times it doesn't go like this and a potential deal just simmers and simmers and simmers before getting done once the pressure of getting the roster set by late February arrives in late winter. The offseason has just started. Nobody wants to rush a deal just for the sake of getting something done.

They will also likely make first round exits for a while until they draft or acquire ToR pitching. This idea of we will give you junk and you will give us your cost controlled pitcher for a few years for free isnt going to work.
December 14, 20232 yr I bet once Yamamoto signs, Cease rumors will pickup as I would think many teams would be scared to give what Snell is asking for
December 14, 20232 yr Author Just now, Squirmin' for Yermin said: I bet once Yamamoto signs, Cease rumors will pickup as I would think many teams would be scared to give what Snell is asking for I think we start seeing things heating up today.
December 14, 20232 yr Author Also, as much as I want the Orioles to happen, I think Cease ends up on the Dodgers. Ohtani’s deal gives them more flexibility, but not endless and Dylan’s cheap salary allows them to pair it with another impactful move.
December 14, 20232 yr 17 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: I think we start seeing things heating up today. just a guess?
December 14, 20232 yr Author 24 minutes ago, Squirmin' for Yermin said: just a guess? Yes, I think the Dodgers are driving a big chunk of the SP market and it seems like with Ohtani locked up we’re starting to see a greater sense of urgency. I’m not expecting a trade or anything today, but I believe we’ll start hearing more leaks & rumors as teams begin making more serious offers.

December 14, 20232 yr If the Sox played their cards right there should be awhile before Cease gets moved, there are too many other chips that need to fall first.
December 14, 20232 yr 1 hour ago, SoCalChiSox said: I want to see BOS and SD getting name dropped more. Red Sox apparently were interested in the Mariners controlled pitchers
December 14, 20232 yr 1 hour ago, SoCalChiSox said: I want to see BOS and SD getting name dropped more. Padres fit because they’re not going to make any more commitments longer than 2 or possibly three years into the future in all likelihood with ownership changes more than likely on the horizon. But Preller has been burned so many times adding vets for youth that he’s going to be much more gunshy this time around. New Boston GM has to do something big to establish his own identity and remain relevant in that division…
