I wouldn't necessarily hate a NYM signing, it makes LAD more desperate because their staff is still garbage and is banking on the health of a porcelain doll. It also makes a number of other teams including NYY and BOS more desperate too. I really want BOS to be in on Cease. If we could pry two LHS from them it would be great. Baltimore certainly doesn't have the same spending power, but with improved Yankees and Red Sox teams, the O's aren't waltzing to the AL East title again either. They need pitching, and they don't have places to play *all* of those prized prospects. Something has to give. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Cohen will present a contract superior to Gerrit Cole's in an attempt to create an awkward situation for NYY where this new guy will have to be making more than their in house Cy Young winner and he's betting NYY won't go that far.

I still say Dodgers. Doubt this guy will pass up playing with his old teammate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh well I guess that makes sense but all he’d have to do is pitch his fucking ass off and win some championships - then he’ll have his own shadow regardless of who’s by his side.

Chicago White Sox Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 This dude really needs to sign…he’s holding up the entire off-season. Hopefully that happens by tomorrow so there is a possibility of other action before Christmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When’s the last time as many as SIX teams were bidding $300+ million for the same foreign pitcher on the open market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mets were an expensive dumpster fire last season. They are hardly a threat to LAD, let alone putting pressure on them to add Cease. Yamamoto going to Queens hardly helps the Sox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 You would have to think if he's here meeting with team that he would want to maybe agree and finalize a deal before going back home for Christmas right? The end of the week Tweet definitely makes sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
