This thread will be fun!

Good luck digging out of that hole Getz. You overplayed your hand.

Uggghhh.  This could get ugly.  The rumors were that the Brewers more recently weren’t going to trade Burnes and were going to try to compete this year so I assume they received a good offer they couldn’t refuse.

Does this push the Yankees to get Snell leaving Getz s%*# out of luck?

Fire Getz!!!!!!!

Oh boy…will be interesting to see the terms.  Not what will worry me off more, the Brewers getting a strong or light return.

 

Well now you gotta hold him into the season and wait for injuries.

Thank goodness that's over. Goodbye to the Baltimore fans. 

 

and that kids is why Cease is still here and Baltimore doesn't have him. 

Ew.

This could be the case, but the comparison between Cease and Burnes was never perfect.  Burnes is better but he only has one year of control left.

If Ortiz is the centerpiece,  good for Getz.

Actually love this from an Orioles perspective. Good get. Didn't hurt much at all.

What the hell are the Brewers doing giving up on their season

The Orioles could still trade for Dylan Cease.

Agreed, Orioles fans should be very happy.  This is a better deal for them than what Cease would have cost.  These are two of the guys they wanted to dump most.

Once their fearless leader went to the dark side, they gave up.

That's what I was thinking. Could go all in. I don't think Elias has the balls though.

They could, because they sure have the prospects to do so, but their rotation is likely filled out now.  I doubt they will still go after Cease now.

This trade aligns perfectly with Elias not wanting to give up his premium prospects.  He basically gave up two replaceable guys that made sense to move because they don’t have room for them.

The Brewers do this stuff all the time if they are adding control. They gave up Hader in 2022 with a 3 game lead in the division. Doing something like this was obvious.
